 | Gaining muscle on low carb Hey guys I apologize if this seems like a dumb question but I'd rather be a fool for a second than a fool forever!  My question is; can I lose fat whilst on a very low carb diet and still gain lean muscle and strength? Even though I am still intaking around 4500kcals a day in proteins/fats? I know I need excess cals for muscle growth but would this also stop me losing fat (or would it make me gain more still?) I can my logic may be very flawed :crazy: In essence what I wish to know is that can I still lose fat (need a lower bfp) whilst on a 10g of carbs a day diet consisting of around 4500kcals plus continue to gain strength and lean muscle? Thank you very much for any input I know this may seem daft to you vets but it beats me going down the wrong street! |

| Re: Gaining muscle on low carb It's not ideal but it most certainly can be done, look up a guy called Charles Poliquin on the net or Lyle McDonald. Both of these guys are gurus when it comes to low carb nutrition. Me? I stay WELL away I like my carbs. |

| Re: Gaining muscle on low carb Well Tall said it all. I'm on a TKD diet & my strength has gone up this week. Good fats give me more energy thanany carb ever does.

Carbs are great before bed (unless you are really carb intolerant) because they help to release serotonin (makes you feel calm and sleepy). So a combination of cottage cheese, yoghurt (high in tryptophan a precursor for serotonin) and a banana (high in carbs and naturally-occurring serotonin) is a superb pre-bed meal. | |
