Discussion with jagbender about NHE.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Low carb all the time. 5 protein meals a day <50g per meal. Unlimited carbs from certain foods like brocolli and spinach and cabbage. <30g net carbs a day
Two nights a week eat >200g of clean starchy carbs
brown rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes, ETC.
Keep fat and protein <20g each on the carb meals.
The meals should be the last meal or two meals of the day so you sleep through the insulin reaction and don't gt hungry.

I gave you the Reader digest version.
Your carb meals are on a 3 day 4 day cycle.
I eat my carb meals Tuesday and Saturday nights.
They happen to be off lifting nights.
Rob's main focus it to optimize (control) all of the hormones Testosterone, GH, insulin and cortisol.
Insulin and can be bad or good depending on your metabolic state.
most of the carb load is starchy carbs with lower GI
so the insulin release is controlled.

FW: The book
You don't carb load on lifting days.
In my case I want to cut and I do not want to create an insulin spike after lifting because it will STOP the fat burning process.
Also I think all of the post workout insulin spike is overrated. When you are LC and lifting you have a window of opportunity for the fats and proteins to get into the muscle also. (without the insulin spike)

BB NHE
Here is a quote from NHE the differance between the cutting
and bb plan .
More calories overall, more fat in down cycle, fewer carbs in the down cycle and more carbs in the up cycle.
"Those of you who are about to start the bb program be preparred to go buy larger clothes."
