OTH bringing the truth as always. The people arguing with him aren't understanding the point of this thread as a whole. This thread is exactly what people need to help them realize how the body burns fat as a system.
It's really quite easy and I'm not surprised a bunch of people are bent out of shape about it. Ukjeff is the only person qualified to argue this subject with OTH, as he is a gear user and has backed up his claims, or at least found a good picture to claim. Either way he has argued his points well.
In over 10 years of training with top level NPC guys and watching what they eat, this is the truth. Sure some guys prefer to eat more carbs or cycle carbs, but at the end of the day OTH's original premise holds true. I've only met a few guys who got into stage shape eating more than 150g of carbs per day. Also when someone is using insulin it can change a lot of the carb cycling as well, but i don't think OTH uses insulin.
Another thing to consider is that OTH does not use thyroid meds or diuretics if i recall, this needs to be considered. Most guys who get down to 3-4% BF abuse the shit out of both of these.
Great thread, I'm glad OTH spent all this time to straighten out the masses. The bottom line is that you can eat some carbs, but you will have to burn them off one way or another and he's just saying that it's more efficient to not eat any at all if your goal is true stage shape. It's not that complicated. More carbs just mean slower fat loss or more cardio. This isn't that hard to comprehend and you can get ripped eating some carbs, most people are taking this way out of context.
