O'Ryan's Run with CBL

[markam]

So what's everyone's gains on CBL so far? My goals aren't to get shredded, it would just be nice it that occurred... But my main concern is with getting stronger. The more I think about this diet, the more I think it's not going to work for my end goals. I'm not writing it off just yet, but I still have some time to make the decision. I'm not low carb now, and if I did this, I would need to go 10 days without carbs.

Even if you don't do CBL, cutting carbs from breakfast can be quite effective. For me, four eggs with 100 ml egg white are a great meal. If I fancy something sweet, I'll have 20g almond butter afterwards. It's said that the choline in eggs block fat absorption, as well as all the other positives from eating eggs. When I eat carbs I try not to eat any fat at the same time, as the raised insulin response from the carbs will make fat storage much more likely. If I stick to this way of eating monday-friday, it doesn't matter that much if my diet's more relaxed over the weekend.

The bolded isn't necessarily true. Fat slows down digestion and blunts insulin spikes. In the end you must go bad to the central dogma of weight loss. Calories in vs calories out.

Really? I thought it was accepted wisdom to not combine high gi carbs with fats? Calories in calories out is fine, but there's calories, and there's calories

There is also a difference between something being accepted and something being true.

EDIT: That sounds a bit adversarial/confrontational, I promise it's not how I mean it.

Don't worry, I won't go Ippy on you
