5. The separation of Carbs and Fats- This is a hotly debated issue, but again, in my opinion, an important aspect nonetheless. Remember that it is often when you eat items and with what you eat them that is more important than what you are eating. A mouthful, I know, but stay with me. Remember that when you take in certain carbs, you can spike your insulin levels. If you are taking in fats when your insulin has been spiked, you are allowing the basic laws of physiology to act out, and you allow for a higher propensity for fat storage. Separation is key. The sample diet will give a good example of how to separate them.
Don't like this one.. I just want to add that when you take in fats with carbs, you're blunting most of that insulin spike that he's talking about.

I've talked to A LOT of knowledgable trainers lately and they all believe that it's more beneficial to eat well balanced meals vs. only protein/fat or protein/carbs. Something like lean ground beef, brown rice, and a handful of nuts (7.5 grams of fat in about 11 almonds). Probably a much better option than something like whey and oatmeal which we're all guilty of lol. In fact, my recent weekend refeeds are mainly built around oatmeal mixed in with a tbsp EVOO. I'm still losing a lot of weight lol.

Here's a good quote that basically explains it.

We just have used these methods on so many people that we know how and when to make the adjustments for the clients. So YES, I do feel that the FAT is key to losing body fat IN RELATION to insulin balance.
