when is it ok to eat carbs again??

Wow, I don't know what to say.

I spent the last hour writing a response to pintoca and then erased it. It included references from other sites and studies. In any event, there's no way in hell I'm typing that all out again. All I will say is this:

There is so much wrong with that post I didn't know where to begin. The general message of my post was simple: All of his theories and ideas on nutrition are terribly outdated. It sounds like he read a musclemag 5 years ago, and is just regurgitating what was common practice back then. I know, I read them back then as well.

To the rest of you: If you want some more up-to-date information I urge you to read other boards. That's honestly the one thing I notice about Elite. The Anabolic section is great; the training section includes tons of info you won't find anywhere else; the members are great and some of the most biggest guys you'll see; the Diet section, however, is horribly lacking. For example, people haven't talked about the GI of foods in years, yet here it shows up in every second post.

My 2 cents...and I apologize for being an idiot, mashing my keyboard somehow, and losing my post; it really was quite good.

id say u nailed it in one pintoca.
if what joe is saying is correct i could eat 2000 calories worth of kebab meat,and as long as i burned off 2100 calories id lose weight, in practise it should work as there is more coming out than going in but,in reality it doesnt work like that our bodys are complex,there are alot of factors to consider.

Hmm, what Pintoca said seemed right on to me. But since we should all be open to hearing other points of view, what sources (boards, etc.) would you recommend people have a look at for more up to date information?

lol I don't know how many examples you could have picked that are worse than kebab meat, but it can't be many. It's like sarcastically saying if you could do only one leg exercise that you'd recommend leg press. Albeit not the king of leg exercises (squats), it's still a pretty damn good one.

Why the hell couldn't you lose weight (and more accurately, fat) eating kebab meat? Heck, that's basically a simplified Atkins diet right there.

Have you checked out the "All Natural PB" diet sticky at the top of this page? On that diet all you're eating is whey and anpb, hardly something that you or Pintoca would say allows you to lose weight...and yet "shockingly" enough, it works.

A couple boards that spring to mind are the ones at www.avantlabs.com and www.bodyrecomposition.com.
