Nutrient Timing and Two Types of Meals
On Moderate Carbohydrate Days and Shake Days you’re going to see two
different types of meals listed:
1. Protein + Fat (P+F)
2. Protein + Carbs (P+C)
All meals include protein, but certain meals avoid high levels of carbs and others
high levels of fat. Why?
The reason is two fold. First, by avoiding combining fat and carbohydrates in
significant amounts in a single meal, we avoid what I refer to as “the deadly
combination” when it comes to fat storage – high levels of insulin and fat in the
blood simultaneously.
Insulin, secreted after ingesting any substantial amount of carbohydrate, is your
body’s primary “storage” hormone. Naturally, having high levels of fat and insulin
in the blood at the same time (resulting from simultaneous carb and fat intake) is
the exact opposite of what you want when it comes to avoiding fat storage.
Secondly, this type of meal set up allows us to eat carbs earlier in the day when
insulin sensitivity and carbohydrate tolerance are at their peak, while avoiding
them in the later hours when these things naturally decline.
For this reason, both Moderate Carb and Shake Days will start with P+C meals
and transition to P+F meals later in the day.
