I`ve noticed through the years that the types of diets that result in the lowest percentage of bodyfat in bodybuilders are those that control insulin release. Simply put, when insulin is controlled, you burn much more fat. That`s the whole point of low-carb diets. For some people, however, such extreme low-carb plans don`t work well, but even for them, controlling insulin release through properly timed carb intake will result in greater bodyfat losses.
I think it`s beneficial to have an insulin spike as soon as possible after training, since many studies show that increased insulin at that time promotes increased muscle glycogen synthesis, greater amino acid uptake into muscle and decreased cortisol.
