Will they be able to throw the same volume on either source of food?
When you are just dieting to lose weight or at a higher bf%, I think it matters less than if you are getting ript. So when I am at 11% or less bodyfat am I going to be not worried at all where my carbs come from still? Is it really all the same ballgame?
If it is, where's the fucking glory in that? LOL!
BTW: They say they are afraid of fruit because it is a fast acting carb and spikes insulin... yada, yada, yada.... they actually have answers to these questions. Just nothing with any meat behind it that I can tell.

It really is the same ballgame. Even the liver cell swelling I mentioned for anabolic/anticatabolic purposes can be accomplished w/any carb, but fructose-containing carbs happen to be more efficient at this. Meaning, table sugar will do the trick just as well as fruit. However, fruit is more nutrient-dense and better for longterm health. And it's ISN'T a fast-acting carb source that "spikes" insulin compared to most other carb sources that are popular with BBers. Whoever told you that needs to adjust their spectacles
