Can you cut body fat % via carbs? - Saturday, May 20, 2006 3:43 PM

I'm not a total veggie but after a while I just cant eat any more meat or fish. If I keep my cals down can I still keep dropping weight and body fat even if its higher on carbs and lower on protein? I'd really like to hear all thoughts and suggestions.

Does anyone know a good kind of fish to grill? easy to prepare but doesnt taste boring?

Certain carbs can even help lose fat- Anything that's whole grain or whole wheat is a good way to go- My personal favorite is whole grain brown rice, it's an excellent slow burning carb- Takes longer for your body to digest, so your body's burning more calories through digestion for a longer period of time. Also, you get more energy from it over a longer period of time.

AND!

If you read Twin Peak's Carb Cycling article, you can really cut body fat with a zig zag style carb tweaking. It's advanced and all but you simply asked "can you cut body fat % via carbs" and the answer is YES!

Carb manipulation is very popular among body builders who are preparing for a contest and need to get ultra-ripped and lean for a show.

Some bodybuilders a week out will almost be 100% protein and nearly 0 carbs for hardcore manipulation.

Not something I would suggest to you but I'm just debating all the angles.

Check out the Carb Cycling article

Twin peaks article will give you some good info.

can I still keep dropping weight and body fat even if its higher on carbs and lower on protein? I'd really like to hear all thoughts and suggestions.

If your calories consumed just below your maintenance.
If you eat 5-6 times a day
IF you do not consume too little protein and lose muscle.
If your choice of carbs are good.
If you challenge muscle in a progressive fashion
If you do not lower calories too much
If nothing else gets in the way of fat burning...

...Then the answer is yes.
