Currently recomping to about 10%BF. I want to maintain that for the summer and then have a big bulk starting in late fall.

following this very similar to my diet.

milk and fruit are not conducive to fat loss. lactose and fructose sugars are processed differently than glucose. You should aim to consumer slow burning complex carbohydrates that release glucose into the bloodstream at an even, slow rate thus keeping insulin production minimal. When insulin levels are high, fat loss is metabolically impossible.

Thanks! Can I have an example of a carb like that?

he will probably refer you to brown rice and sweet potatoes. whole wheat/grain breads are a nice addition as well...

Its weird you say to keep insulin levels low with steady glucose into bloodstream but then say no to fruit. Fruit/fructose doesn't cause an insulin release like glucose does so obviously it gets into the bloodstream lower.

Unless you're a precompetition bodybuilder, you can eat fruit. Its not going to wreck your physique.
