    Hi I've got the Carb-Backloading Book. For days when I am free to do this diet perfectly:- After I've taken 10g Whey Protein / MTC Oil in morning (9am-1pm)- I normally just eat meat and cook Frozen Vegetables (Broccoli/Cauliflower/Carrots) with Olive oil on top (around 1pm - 5pm) I've read the label and the vegetables say that practically every Carb is Fibrous. However I remember I have watched a number of videos of people arguing Carrots (and Peas..) are highly glycemic.Hence my question is simple - Would the glycemic load of the whole meal counter any insulin spiking effects (if any..... ) , or am I best of ditching the carrots completely?

    It's probably best to ditch the carrots but if you're making progress. Don't change.

    Agreed on both counts.Just know that carrots do become more starchy from cooking at going over the carb limit could be come easy.

    There is a carb limit?

    You want to stay under 30g usable carbs prior to your workout or if you're not training stay under 30g for the whole day

    Philip- usually rule of thumb on root vegetables is they're high in sugar and best to stay away from if possible.

    Ah perfect thank you.Means I might just have to stick to boring Broccoli and Cauliflower btw themselves for the first portion of the day - well as long as it gets me closer to the end result.......

    Spinach is amazing and can be prepared many ways. Also asparagus is a good lob carb option too
