    The question you are asking is does food combining accelerate weight loss?

    The answer is: no.

    The theory is based on a distorted application of GI / GL.

    Is this a serious question? When you eat a hamburger you are eating fat, carbs, and protein all at once. When you eat yogurt you are eating fat, carbs, and protein all at once. Almost everything we eat contains all three of these nutrients in the same bite. What you're saying makes no sense...

    Too true! Plus those bars aren't great for you, just eat real food instead.

    What is wrong with bars? they are food just like everything else. You bite, chew, swallow, digest, then crap out the same way you do with chicken breast or rice.

    NOPE

    she says while tucking into a tuna mayonnaise and cheese sandwich (lebanese flatbread style sandwich... and I added olive oil to the tuna mayo) Haven't logged it yet but I'm pretty sure it's high in protein, fat and carbs all at the same time. I have a busy day, I need something filling.

    keep what you eat within your calories and macros and you'll be fine :flowerforyou:

    Absolutely untrue. Insulin response really has nothing to do with fat storage.

    DUH?

    Even Wikipedia knows that one of the two MAIN functions of insulin is to store fat. That's metabolism 101 for dummies!

    Blah I figured it out for myself.
    The answer is high impact carbs and fat shouldn't go together because of the insulin response.
    Protein the jury is still out...I'm starting to wonder if the free aminos become a problem when they are in excess and can link up and be stored.
    Any other ideas feel free to comment, I know there are Millions of protein discussions so I'm off to read that now.

    Over consumption of calories makes you fat...not individual macro-nutrients, regardless of whether you eat them together, separate, or whatever...

    This is nonsense.

    If you eat nothing but fat, oil, lard, etc, say, 3000 calories a day you will LOSE weight.

    Ummm no. If I ate 3000 cals per day of butter I would gain weight (not to mention a host of other medical problems - ?constipation anyone). 3000 calories is over my TDEE. It does not matter where those calories come from.


    To the OP, eating over your TDEE makes you fat. It is that simple.

    If I had to think that hard about my diet, I'd definitely just give up! I just try to eat healthy and stay within my calorie limit and it seems to be working

    insulin does have a lot to do with fat storage, but the body takes a long time to break down dietary fat so eating dietary fat should *Not* spike insulin. eating a lot of simple carbs will spike insulin more than any other combination carbs-fat, fat-protein carb-fat-protein @ relative Caloires. That being said, healthy individual (non-diabetics) probably doesnt make that much of a difference and total calories is obviously the most important thing.

    THAT was nonsense?!

    You seem to believe the whole low carb, minimal GI, keep the insulin low, shovel in the fat and it will never get stored because there is no insulin to store it argument.

    And that misses an entire swathe of metabolic factors ... "101 for dummies" or not ;)

    The body adjusts, if you consume more than you burn you'll store fat ... doesn't matter what you are necking.

    If I ate 3000 calories per day, I'd gain a pound a week.

    I think you misunderstand what he is saying. You're saying the same thing, but you are making it look like you are disagreeing, that's where the WTF comes in.

    Ok I tried searching the forums for this but it just kept talking about our ratios.
    My question is is eating protein and carbs at the same time a setup for fat storage.
    For example I can either eat. Fiber one bar or a Atkins bar.
    Same calories relatively same fats carbs both at 20g sugar is the same at 6g but of course the sugar alcohol is in the Atkins. There is 16g of protein in the Atkins and 1g in the fiber one. So normally id think protein however I am starting to think that eating all your macros at once can set you up for fat storage even if it is the holy protein. Sorry if I'm losing some of you.

    Extra calories set you up for fat storage. If you are in a deficit, you will not be holding on to fat.

    Fat doesn't make you fat. Carbs don't make you fat. Protein doesn't make you fat. Excess calories make you fat.

    Eat what you want, when you want.
    This. Avoiding fat completely is a terrible idea. Fat is what helps you absorb the nutrients in food since many of them are fat soluble. Avoiding essential nutrients is a surefire way to get seriously ill

    ummm no and I sense a troll thread creeping on ...

    and what is a high impact carb? Is that like high impact aerobics?

    I'm not sure you really grasp any of the concepts you talk about.

    Also responding to people with duh isn't really behaviour I would expect from someone over the age of 18.

    Insulin has a number of different functions it builds protein, BREAKSDOWN fats, and also yes, does stimulate lipogenis (the creation of fat).

    I saw you on a thread earlier rambling about how insulin was so bad for you . . . . I wonder since the only thing that doesn't seem to spike insulin all day is oil, butter, and grease, should I limit myself to only those items?

    Is this what you would call a healthy diet?

    Insulin is a completely normal, healthy metabolic process.

    Unused energy (calories) are stored as body fat. It's as simple as that.

    Stop scaremongering.
