LOL that's how hectic my day was that I didn't realise the weekend had begun - see what happens when you coach bikini competitors who are behind in prep
Go geek when you get the chance. Again I agree with you however we can also agree that injectable insulin is used to facilitate the precious gainzzzz.
Let me ask you this also are there medical conditions where a low glycemic diet is helpful. After we answer yes to that then we can agree that different carb digestion rates effect the body differently.
I really want to agree with you you are way more versed in nutrition then I am. It just seems like we are missing something
Lol I'll go geek when I have time to cover all the bases.
Now you see if you were using slin on cycle, then the clean eating thing applies in order to manipulate the spikes more effectively. This isn't something I've looked into in enough detail since I train natties mainly so 3J will probably know more.
The Gi index became obsolete the minute people started combining carbs with proteins & fats, both are very low gi.
The study that first came up with the GI index in the 80s was heavily critisized, rightly so, because he tested the foods in isolation - doesn't apply to normal eating habits.
So different carb rates effect the body differently IF taken in isolation only - the gi of the carbs in the meal is not the important part, the overall gi value of the MEAL is the key.
I've had many successful bodybuilders who absolutely refused to believe that you can get stage ready without eating clean. They truly wanted to believe that eating healthy lead to a better prep - then I proved them wrong & they haven't look back.
Have a look at guys like alberto nunez, eric helms - natties who have reached their max potential with iifym
What pisses me off about iifym is the message it sends... People are eating junk and saying hey I hit my macros what does it matter? Lol
U keep scarfing down that number 1 at McDonald's as you tell yourself that lmao
Lol I admit this annoys me too.
IIFYM was originally conceived to alllow certain foods that dieters used to label as bad into their diets e.g. cheese, egg yolks, white carb sources, fruits, etc.
So when someone asked "can I eat fruit or is the sugar bad?" The answer was "if it fits your macros".
IIFYM was NOT created to allow people to see how much junk they can stuff themselves with & still be in a deficit.
Not all takeway meals are bad either. Take a typical mcdonalds meal of burger, chips, salad - you have all 3 macros AND veggies.
The major advantage of iifym over traditional clean dieting is down to long term consistency.
Can you get shredded eating clean, even if you don't enjoy it? Absolutely.
Can you maintain it long term? No - that's why the majority of people end up back at square 1 over the long term.
IIFYM allows flexible dieting - you can still eat what you enjoy but in smaller portions. There's no drastic switch to food choices that you wont eat for the rest of year.
