I'm looking through this guys book right now...he doesn't advocate eating no carbs...he says you need a balanced post workout meal as advocated by barry sears in the Zone diet.
His argument is that too many carbs stimulates too much insulin, which brings down your blood sugar way too far and glycogenolysis stops. So ideally you want your blood sugar stable. When I spoke to him a year ago...he recommended some fruit before working out to keep your blood sugar up during your workout (fructose is low-moderate glycemic), and pure whey protein immediately after your workout, and then a balanced meal about an hour PWO emphasizing protein but with low-glycemic carbs as well as plenty of good fats.
