There was some relevant discussion in this recent thread.
EDIT: Specifically, I found this post interesting.

Berardi commented on that article in his forum.
His reply was:
"The author is wrong about a lot of his physiological points.
But his practical strategies are fine for fat loss.
For example: the body IS NOT insulin resistant after exercise!
In fact MRI/MRS data suggest that the greatest period of glucose disposal in the muscle is immediately after exercise.
So much so that type II diabetics have normal glucose disposal for the brief post-exercise window.
Also: carb intake doesn’t shut down fat burning post-exercise.
Fat is preferentially burned for a short period after exercise even in the presence of high insulin and carbs.
For fat loss, the plan in the article could work… but only because it helps control calories and keep them lower… which leads to body fat losses."
PS: I deleted all the references to his forum and his coaching programs.[/quote]
