10. Get Lean, then Eat Carbs

People are kidding themselves about how many carbs they need. There's a difference between a mouth and a vacuum. Forty to fifty grams per day of good carbs is plenty for most of the population. That's why there are so many fat dieticians and personal trainers. Nutrient timing makes a difference, too. A lean 200-pound man can keep his leanness eating 250 grams of carbs a day, if 200 of them are taken post-workout and the other 50 grams spread throughout the day in low glycemic carbs. Get lean first if you want to eat carbs. The leaner you are, the more carbs you can eat.

7. The Single Most Important Supplement

The biggest limiting factor in naturally training people to getting lean and adding muscle is the consumption (or lack thereof) of omega-3s. Looking at the body structure of cavemen, they had a lot of muscle mass compared to modern man. They got their omega-3s through the meats they ate. Primitive man would break the skull open and eat the brains. Brains are 60% fat, and 60% of that is DHA, the omega-3. What they've found is that the more brain-sucking was going on in those populations, the faster the IQ went up.

Primitive man would also break the bones of the prey and suck the marrow, also rich in omega-3, DHA particularly. DHA is the omega-3 most responsible for brain development while EPA is most associated with reducing inflammation. Biotest's Flameout is a great product. I like the addition of CLA to the EPA and DHA because most of the population is deficient in CLA. Don't take all your fish oil at once though; spread intake throughout the day. Would you eat all your protein for the day at once?

Eric has been preaching this for years....


As far as the supplement itself, it looks good. The importance of fish oils
is proven its self through the years. I personally can tell the difference in my joints since I have been taking just the GNC brand. But i am also excited to try Kre-Celazine from aaefx. Time will tell.

Poliquin is awesome when it comes to training but his nutrition theories are not too great in my opinion. 50g of carbs a day? WTF that is absolutely insane for MOST (not all) of the natural bodybuilding community. Carbs are more protein sparing than protein itself.

and 200g of carbs post-workout is absolute overkill and a complete waste. Nutrient timing is very important but the "post-workout window" is not some magical time to dump 200g carbs into your body and expect zero of it to turn to fat. Not to mention you would probably be better off having the carbs pre-workout

On the 200g of carbs PWO, I think he was just stating a point. His recommendation comes further down in the article in which he states if one is trying to lose bodyfat, "If you need to lose body fat, keep the carbs at 0.6 g/kg of bodyweight (about .27 grams per pound)." This is roughly equivalent to 54g of carbs PWO for a 200lb individual, about right IMO.
