brazilnut, it really will depend on your goals as to what approach you take. I think napalm is referring to a pre-contest cutting cycle, which I know he is on right now. If you are in a position where the fat MUST GO, then keeping a lid on carbs and insulin spikes is pretty crucial to cutting fat fast. Of course, I agree that you can still cut and take in Hi-glycemic carbs post-workout, because I've done it...but as you probably already know, blood sugar spikes=insulin spikes=glucagon suppression= a turning off of the receptors on fat cells that allow fat-->energy conversion for at least a few hours. Having also done keto diets, and being in a pre-contest diet right now myself, I'd have to say both ways are right, it just depends on your goals and time to accomplish them.
