Hmmmm My treats?
Oh where to begin.....
I suppose I could start with super yummy Chinese beer that comes in 650ml bottles for .40 cents each
Coffee flavoured ice cream cones
Chinese Baozi (steamed rice buns with veggies inside)
Restaurant food (all stir fried in peanut oil here)
More beer.....
And thats all in one day. I am following the "free day philosophy" of no calorie counting 1 day a week and eating whatever the heck I want. Last weekend I had 4 (yes 4) of those big beers, deep fried banana's dipped in deep fried coconut, and some super yummy and spicy fried noodles among other dishes. Plus later on a coffee ice cream.... How many calories?? Who knows, wasn't counting. Probably a disgusting amount.
Last week I lost a record breaking (for me anyways) 5 pounds..... After the weekend I shot from 255 to 264 on the scale.... Then by today is is down to 249... Go figure. I guess that all or nothing dieting scheme just isnt necessary for me. And thank god too, Chinese beer is yummy....

Any sugars/starches go within the workout window. Is it an absolute statement, definitely not. Any time you're outside 3 hours after workout its protein/veggie or fruit/fat. Almost all of your carbs should come from fruits and veggies.
Are there bad foods, of course. However these bad foods become horrible foods when eaten at the wrong times.
And I think this is a very individual thing. I know Berardi is big on it, and I respect him A LOT!
However, personally, I have gotten to my leanest levels eating starchy carbs at every meal. If I don't, my cravings shoot through the roof. I had clients with similar experiences. We all know that energy balance is the overall KING of body composition coupled, of course, with proper training.
I think nutrient timing has its place for those looking to go from already normal weights to lean. Or lean to very lean. Outside from that, at least with the empirical evidence I have had my hands on, it doesn't make all that great of a difference.
That said, even with the same caloric intakes, some people WILL do better on lower carbs and some will do better on a more moderate carb intake.
The predominant factor is definitely caloric intake, but for people who are say, very insulin resistant, a reduced carb approach or timing your carb intake around workouts is probably going to be a better option.
Have you seen anything about his new G-Flux concept?
I have read up on it and checked out some of the underlying research.

Have a bar of chocolate every day (just a small one) and have a pizza or something you like every weekend.A glass of wine or beer every other day is a good treat
