Suzanne Somers is an advocate of never mixing fat with carbs. I have her books (of course, full of dust after all these years), so it would be nice to mix up my boring diet now (Warrior style diet). I miss having breakfast and lunch, especially on the weekends. Thanks! C Rusty,

Almost every article you have written has helped me achieve the body I want. Thank you for really putting the information I needed into an easy format that is easy to follow. Even books that drag on hundreds of pages don't get the message across as well as you do. Thanks for making this website! Wow.

What do ya think? I do agree with you about the low gi carb thing: as long as there low on the GI scale (55 or below) than you can eat alot of them.

There is a diet called the low GI diet that supposebly works really well. Is this a good plan? Thanks Hey rusty,

Virtually all of the top athletes in the world absolutely thrive on carbs because they need it to fuel their bodies. If you think people like David Beckham and Ronaldo are watching their carbs, you are out of your mind. These guys see it as the main source of energy production. Train like and athelete, eat like and athlete, look like an athlete. I don't really buy into this whole "carb craze".

I love the idea of carb cycling but for some reason when I have no carbs at all I get dizzy, fatigued, and mentally drained. If I have just a small serving of oatmeal with breakfast I feel great the whole day. Would having this oatmeal which is 30 grams of carbs effect my fat loss? I do cardio first thing in the morning before breakfast and do bodyweight circuits in the afternoon. Thanks Rusty,

While keeping the overall calories low. I also recommend people exercise in a fasted state to insure that most of the energy comes from body fat reserves and not food energy (another reason I don't endorse eating every few hours). I have no idea how people eat 6 meals per day and stay lean...unless they eat tiny meals and never have a "real" meal. A very unrealistic approach in my opinion. "Moderate carbs and low calories"...I agree completely! Good call. Rusty Diana,

That started a binge/gain/ lowcarb diet/binge cycle for 4 years for me. I have just now learned carbs are not the enemy, calories are! Its still difficult for me not to attempt south beach, since I orginally lost a lot of weight and felt great on it. But the quality of life with moderate carbs and low calories is far far better!

Bodyfat around 15%. My goal is to get the best looking body i possibly can, and by that i mean lean. So i want my bodyfat% as low as i can. I also want to perform well at the same time, thats why i think the 3 days low carb, and 1 day high carb will work. My weight goal is around 78kg and i think what will be the weight when i loose all my fat. So the questions are... Im eating Paleo style now and i am fat adapted. Im also experiencing with IF and i think its really great. Im doing the 16/8 hour way. sometimes 18/6 etc. also. How do you think my approach should be, i see you talk a lot about Warriot diet aswell, could this be something for me ? During the low carb days, how many g carbs are we talking about? and how many calories? how many % should come from protein and fat? on high carb days, how many calories? what are the best carb sources? im really week for chocklade and bread :p chocklade has a lot of fat so thats no good. Any other inputs etc for my goals, would be really really great thanx again for awesome site Hello Rusty

Steering people in the right direction. I had a question though about my diet. I am a male and am not overweight. I workout, but have extra fat in the chest area, so my muscles are not as defined as I would like them to be. I saw the e-book for sale, but seems a little expensive. I was wondering what a good diet would be to loose that extra fat. (Don't really have fat in stomach area to loose, just chest area). Thanks for your help Hey Rusty,

Do fruit on some days and salads on the other days. If you are feeling extra fatigued and need energy it is fine to eat fruit. It digests well and is a steady source of energy. I never realized how amazing fruit made my body feel until I began eating it on an empty stomach with no other food. It is wonderful! Rusty Brandon,

Another quick question. I was reading your article about fruit. Would eating fruit and berries during the day and then one big meal at night with a salad and protein be to many carbs on low-carb days? Fruit is great (tastes great, good for you, etc) but it is high in carbs. However, considering the source of the carbs, would it be okay? Or should someone just stick with light salads during the day if A-following a warrior diet type approach and B-doing low-carb? Sounds good. Another quick question.

Follow low-carb days Mon-Fri (this also happens to be the days I follow a IF/Paleo-like diet) then on Sat and Sun (when I go off the IF/Paleo) go high-carb. Basically a 5:2 ratio. I like how this will work with my schedule since I take the train down on Friday nights to spend the weekend with my girlfriend. And I bet it will help with my fat loss goals. However, is it to extreme? Too much? Im not sure... What are your thoughts of this idea of mine.

I could eat 4,000+ if there weren't any negative consequences. If you have a really tough time getting 1,000 calories, add calorie dense foods like nuts and avocado to your meals. If that doesn't work...consider a small breakfast early in the morning along with your dinner later in the day. The name of my e-book is "top secret" (even to me...I haven't really decided on a name yet). I'm so busy helping people on my blog that I haven't progressed as far as I would like. My priorities are to help you guys first and work on the book during my "down time". Cheers! Rusty Caligirl,
