"The Barely Legal Guru" Explains the Difference Between the IIFYM vs. Traditional Bodybuilding Diet

Interesting article. This paragraph raised a question for me:
If you have trouble staying lean following a higher calorie bulking diet, avoid sugar and stick with slower-burning carbs like oats, cream of rye cereal, rye bread, yams, red potatoes and pasta. The reason: bodybuilders with a higher percentage of body fat experience greater insulin surges from eating carbs (compared to leaner bodybuilders). Insulin spikes ultimately cause blood sugar levels to drop, and low blood sugar levels can be catabolic. The insulin surge can also leave you weak, tired, and can, ultimately, elevate catabolic, muscle wasting, hormones.... Moderate insulin secretion can keep blood sugar levels more stable and stable levels are idea for muscle growth and fighting any potential increase in body fat.
Based on this paragraph, I would assume that injecting 10ius of exogenous insulin around your workout would cause huge swings in insulin levels, which should lead to catabolism and increased body fat. But my understanding from the many insulin users here and from Milos Sarcev's thread is that taking insulin and eating fast-acting carbs (which would cause a greater spike) actually promotes muscle growth without fat gain. How to make sense of these two seemingly incompatible views?Last edited by Spacey; 02-13-2012 at 04:44 AM.

This article is a joke, right? I'm confused because it actually does look serious.

no hate, but a bit scarce on references and evidence to some of those claims!

Quality of food does matter, IIFYM is bullshit. But this article is sketchy at best.

Another article that takes an extreme view on IIFYM. People who follow IIFYM still eat the traditional foods for the most part. There are just a few foods that are fit in that still fit their macros. No bodybuilder following IIFYM eats nothing but Taco Bell and brat wursts for protein and pop tarts for their carbs.
This is what IIFYM actually is http://pfaufitness.blogspot.com/2011...-fad-diet.html

Could a be good article, but grammatical error in the first sentence/word...
Also, beef (i.e. intact cow muscle protein) has the same amino acid profile from any source, considering it is genetically encoded muscle protein - it is the fatty acid composition that is skewed depending on exogenous influences such as grass feeding.

This is why everyone is shunning the term 'guru' these days. Apparently having a pulse and an opinion qualifies you.
