| I dont think he is taking it perosnally.
I think he is defending the keto approach for losing bodyfat and maintaining lean muscle mass.
Even ChefX book is lower in carbs and higher in fat than almost every other diet that I have seen for bodybuilding.
Does it work?........Ask Jimmy.
All bodybuilders drop carbs to diet down. They also drop fats too and this is where I think many bodybuilders make there mistake.
You say that you cant gain lean muscle mass without carbs, I say this statement is wrong.
The body needs fuel, this can come from many diffrent sources including protein which is what most of the muscle is made of. Like walking around canabolizing your own meat.
Fuel can come from FFA and fats.
Once the body switches from carbs for fuel to fat for fuel there is significant fat loss.
I have read many studies that high fat, low carb diets spare lean muscle mass better than other dieting approaches.
If you want the studies, I have no problem placing them in this thread but it will make for a long read. Dates, Dr's and percent of fat loss. All clinical studies.
I do think you can gain lean muscle mass on a high fat, low carb diet but it wont be as drastic.
When taking in protein and fats some does get converted into glycogen so you arnt totally void of carbs even when not taking them in.
I dont think he was taking it personal though PScarb, its not an arguement where one has to be right or wrong but what works for one does not work for all. The Ketogenic approcah works for some but not all.
So to say something is wrong this is infact wrong when you are talking in a generalized statement that encompases all.
