I don't even have to watch yet to know it'll be great. Weird thing is I was plugging this into search engines just recently, now here's a whole podcast.
What I find interesting is that as analytical as Justin is, he almost seems to implement an IIFYM approach to diets. But I guess that's a lot better than being strict with people, telling them they can't eat this and that, and have them go off their diet just from the monotony.
IIFYM became it's own monster, though. It used to be that if you didn't like oatmeal, you could have sweet potatoes. Now it's turned into if you don't like brown rice, you can have Gummy bears lol. Which I guess still works fine with a lot of guys...
Going to watch this tonight!
Justin's a really bright guy. He talked about in an older podcast about a brief period where he bailed on bodybuilding to study physics; got his masters in atomic energy and was on track for a doctorate program. Anybody who's studied hard sciences knows the real brainiacs are the math and physics guys.

That’s not Justin’s approach though. On high carb days when your carbs are extremely high he allows you to get half of your carbs from sugars Aslong as it’s below 3g of fat per serving.
An example would be for a meal with 150g of carbs you can have 75g from rice and the other 75g from orange juice.
It’s definitely not an IIFYM approach.
Not talking about the loading, but his general approach to dieting clients. In the video, he states he more or less tells you the macros to hit and gives you a food list.
His food list most certainly isn’t IIFYM. Justin doesn’t even like Greek yoghurt!
Haha. He said, "if you don't have meat and rice in your diet, you're not doing what I want"
Almost makes me want to try (and fail miserably at) a carb based diet again.
yeah, i hear you usmuscle. i've seen dante mention it in the past few weeks as well as dusty where they've said that as they've gotten bigger and bigger, it's MUCH easier to stay leaner than it was when they were smaller/had a lot less muscle mass. That's why you see a lot of these mass monsters eating some junk each day (and/or eating a shitload of carbs most days of the week) yet remaining lean.
it really seems like these higher carb (chicken/rice 6x/day, etc...) diets tend to work better for guys that already have a decent amount of muscle mass... Obviously everybody's different and responds best to different ways of eating, but I've found that for guys who are clean or for guys who don't necessarily have a ton of muscle mass tend to do better with higher fats and lower to moderate carbs.. It's not a blanket statement, but just my observation over the years..
And I'm not talking about you, usmuscle, as I have no idea how big you are... just saying "in general"
Finally watching this, justin drops some bombs and fouad just sits there and utters out garbage like he's qualified for something other than selling supplements to kids.
A1C > fasted BG for insulin assessment
Insulin use to grow leaner or diet tighter
Osmolality rather than GI index for loads
Rates of growth and change
Splendid
Fuck me. Fouad is the last damn person that should host a podcast. I no shit stopped listening because of how many times he interrupted Justin as he's just starting to speak.
He’s horrible. He does it with every single guest.Fuck me. Fouad is the last damn person that should host a podcast. I no shit stopped listening because of how many times he interrupted Justin as he's just starting to speak.
