During a cutting phase, does your choice of carbs (starchy vs. fibrous) in your diet affect your fat loss results?
Specifically, say you're planning to take in 150g daily. Do you want predominantly starchy (roots, grains,etc.) or fibrous (leafy greens like beans, broccoli) or is a balance blend the best way to go?
I have read some articles on contest preparation, where diet is discussed & it is mentioned to carb deplete on fibrous carbs for a few days, then hit the starcy carbs which will pull water into your muscles.
My goal is not contest prep, merely some fat loss, so I'm not sure if this approach is applicable in that situation.
Any thoughts appreciated!
