What do people here think of the notion of Carb and Fat seperation?

[Muay Thai Guy]

alot of people on the net, I myself nicluded have been trying carb/fat seperation

I have found it has helped but im not sure if that was the underlying factor or the fact that im more concious about what i eat and what not?

Anyway i was wondering what the experts here thought of it.
Is it ok to say have Oatmeal and a tbsp of Flax oil with a protein shake ?

Carb/Pro seperation is overrated to say the least. If you're eating oatmeal w/ Flaxseed oil, it should not be a problem. On the other hand, fatty meats w/ rice will be a problem or a McDonalds meal.

Saturated fats + processed carbs = bad.

EFAs + complex carbs = good

There should be a balance. You need fats for energy, specially if your carb intake is low. Of course you want the "good" fats.
