Article: Why You Should Carb Backload

You aren't strange at all. Eating fat doesn't make you fat. Trying to bulk without eating carbs is like trying to fill a bucket with water that has holes in it.
 
Agreed but excess fat (calories alone) and adverse metabolic effects (I believe that a very high fat diet can cause some insulin resistance) can wreck one's chances of getting/staying lean.

I am a bit odd in that I can eat a copious/insane amount of dietary fat and not get fat despite the above. :) That said, I don't doubt for one minute I haven't wrecked my metabolism in some regard as a result of this lifestyle

I'm wired backwards. I can eat troughs of fat and not get fat. I'm definitely an efficient dietary fat burner.

So then, what's my interest in CBL?

-Sick of being "flat" most of the time (flat/deflated muscle bellies are definitely a side effect of being a low carber) and I need to add some mass to me.
-workouts aren't especially great at times unless I've overcompensated with stims
-Trying to add more of a 3D look to my frame that glycogen/carbs/water add w/o the unwanted water weight in areas like my gut/and hence appearing "soft"
-Want to take advantage of the anabolic effects of insulin (I am missing out on) while mitigating the fat promoting effects

This. That flat appearance and over stimulants is how I trained for about 2 years. Now for me, adding carbs at night enables me to lift better without stims than I was with stim+no carbs
