Women seem to naturally under eat. This is obviously going to slow down their thyroid and wreck havoc on their gains. They under eat both carbs and fats. So how can women and men for that matter, get as lean as they want to be still eating carbs and healthy fats?

Everyone can eat carbs and everyone SHOULD be eating healthy fats. The levels differ from one person to the next of course for maximal efficiency in achieving goals, but in general targeting starchier carbs around training and earlier in the day (particularly if you do not train at night) will help the body utilize those nutrients for muscular gains and energy expenditure rather than fat storage. Conversely, Fats should be consumed away from carbs ie. Eating less fats in the a.m. and more fats at night. Veggies are an exception to this rule, as any amount of fat can be consumed with vegetables at any time without having an adverse effect on body composition. So, less fat in the a.m. more at night, more carbs in the a.m. less at night. Carbs around training. It has been said a million times, but it simply just works.

Fat intake is REQUIRED for optimum hormone function. Roughly 1/2 a person's body weight can be consumed in fat, give or take depending on the individual, and have optimal results in transformation and training performance. Something interesting and sort off the subject is that by taking a fish oil supplement, I have had 3 clients now be completely relieved from the use of ibuprofen, as fish oils act as an anti-inflammatory. Simply put, in order to function normally and naturally, good fats must be ingested. As long as a sensible fat intake is not established, full physique goals will never be realized.
