Count calories, eat highly nutritious food, have at least 25 g of fiber a day, and choose any type of diet that you can stick to for the rest of your life while doing those three things and you're set.

I have heard so many times from people "you can't build muscle without carbs" but I can believe it is tied to calories more. One year of my life I hired a trainer. The best performance increase of the whole year was when I was doing a month of carnivore. The biggest difference was I did not track my calories before I started carnivore. And I made sure I ate 2200 calories a day on carnivore. Before that I wasn't eating enough. I started looking back at my diet before, and I was probably eating 1600ish calories daily.

The key takeaways from Thomas DeLauer's analysis on carbohydrate intake and its effects on muscle building and strength training include: 1. **Carbohydrate Impact Is Context-Dependent**: - Immediate pre-workout carbohydrates (within 24 hours before exercise) generally do not significantly enhance performance unless accompanied by an overall caloric surplus. 2. **Caloric Intake Over Carbs**: - Total caloric intake appears to have a more significant effect on performance and muscle growth than carbohydrate intake alone. This suggests that eating enough calories is more crucial than the specific timing or quantity of carbohydrates. 3. **Psychological Effects**: - Some of the perceived benefits of carbohydrate consumption could be psychological, giving a placebo effect that might enhance performance temporarily. 4. **Body’s Adaptability**: - The body is capable of replenishing glycogen stores through various metabolic pathways, such as gluconeogenesis and the Cori cycle. This reduces the necessity for high carbohydrate intake, especially in non-extreme training conditions. 5. **Long-Term Carb Intake**: - Over longer periods (from one week to three months), high carbohydrate intake does not consistently improve muscle strength or growth compared to lower carb intakes, particularly when calorie and protein levels are matched. 6. **Importance of Protein and Overall Diet**: - Protein intake and overall nutritional balance play a more critical role in muscle growth and recovery than carbohydrates alone. 7. **Specific Scenarios for Carb Loading**: - Carbohydrate loading can be beneficial in specific scenarios, particularly for athletes undergoing high-volume or long-duration training sessions, where quick glycogen replenishment can enhance next-day performance. 8. **Individualized Nutrition Strategies**: - Athletes and individuals should consider their specific training demands, personal metabolism, and dietary preferences when planning their nutrition strategies rather than strictly focusing on carbohydrate timing and quantity.

Calories trump all. A calorie surplus with 1.2 g/kg of protein is better than a calorie deficit with 1.6 g/kg of protein. Try growing muscle on a calorie deficit. Carbs are protein sparing (i.e. less protein is converted to glucose). Your body is always going to meet it energy needs, especially to the brain, before growing new muscle. This obesssion with high protein has been continuous since the 1980s. That's when the sale of protein powder began to take off. The average lifter doesn't need more than 1.5 or 1.6 g/kg. Even Brad Schoenfeld says this because that's what most the research shows.

It's bizarre that you recognise that calorie surplus / deficit is a catabolic / anti-catabolic factor depending on which side of balance you are in yet then leap to to conclusion that carbs are somehow special. Calories - energy is exactly that. Guess where calories come from? ANY macro nutrient. Eg Fat, Protein and Carbohydrates. You do not need carbs to be in an energy surplus. An energy surplus from carbs is not special. In fact, we know now, that glucose in large amounts is toxic and can lead to all sort of issues like mitochondrial oxidation, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, alzheimers etc.

I train professional boxers. They have to cut water weight starting the week before the fight. We go from a glycogenic diet to ketogenic back to glycogenic as soon as they get off the scale. Yes those carbs effect their performance drastically in this case. Of course the water loading pushes out all their electrolytes too and they’re dehydrating towards the end but you can see the difference early when they’re still drinking 2-3 gallons in the beginning. As soon as they can start putting carbs and electrolytes back you can see them snap out of it. I suggest you study this process to get a different perspective because without those carbs any explosive exercise will sap their energy fast when they’re carb deficient. As opposed to the 24-36 hours after the scale they will feel brand new and ready to fight for 12 rounds

Me too. It’s a mistake to think this could be an overall statement. I am a 70 yr old type 2 diabetic woman with a tendency unless on keto to have fatty liver & bad triglycerides & bad HDL . Very low carb keto diet with higher protein(animal&plant). This fixed everything for me and I lost 38 lbs that I had been trying to lose for 27 years with my nutritionists diet and daily or every other day hour or more exercise that NEVER worked for ME. I am not a young 30’s yr old non diabetic male who is all about the muscle building to be muscle bound. When are people going to stop all the tribal self identity wars about foods. Different diets are good for different people at DIFFERENT TIMES. It may be healthier I believe to vary for short periods of time: Carnivore mostly a few days then maybe vegetarian for few days then a 24 hr fast, intermittent fasting most days with only 2 meals and a few days here and there throw in a small keto 3rd meal. Always keto and carnivore but every couple weeks a few days with some resistant starch and some days with lentils. Get the idea?Most people in this country don’t need what Thomas is talking about today - they are prediabetic or diabetic or obese. They be are not young or good condition mid life muscle guys.

It’s fine be low carb temporarily. And if dietary carbs don’t trigger you, you could slowly add them. Just make sure you’re getting enough protein (this is especially important for satiety, building muscle, and many body functions). Many carnivores like to look at carbs as drugs, when it was the lack of sufficient protein and consumption of **bad fats AND bad carbs**.

If longevity is the goal though, then there's no arguing that carnivore+ is more of the way to go. In terms of pursuing bodybuilding though...for a guy of my stature, I have to consume a TON of protein to be in a surplus to actually grow. Even reaching that surplus with how filling protein is is tough for me in particular. I can easily maintain and lose weight on a more carnivore based diet, but it's much harder for me to gain.

Today fasted I did 42 sets of 10 in my total body workout finishing 20 minutes earlier. I wasn't completely gassed, but I was gassed enough in the early double sets that I felt doing 2 sets for each exercise was enough in a fasted state.

Strength and other kinds of athletic performance outcomes; 3. Optimal nutrition. I think low to zero carb athletes can do quite well with 1 and 2. Though it may not be "optimal" as compared to a regime that incorporates a significant amount of carbs. I'm most concerned with #3. Though, I would consult Dr. Nick Norwitz for 1 and 2 as it relates to what Thomas is trying to claim here.

Seems about right according to the way I feel. I cycle flat out to work (Zone 3, 30 miles) I have a black coffee and a handful of pumpkin seeds. I never feel compromised for strength I also rarely have dinner at work; just a slice of toast and butter and lots of coffee. I dont concern myself about protein intake or carbs. I just eat when I get a chance some times next day when im off work. I view it like im filling a petrol tank. Its pointless replenishing it until it runs out, and filling it up again is quite a slow process. If its going to be over 2 hours rapido then its best to start replenishing as soon as possible. The tank is replenished slowly from exogenous carbs and endogenous fats. To get a bigger tank you need to train it. Im 63 and have no muscle loss and still the same shape I was in in my 30s. (on a bike) I used to get in to trouble for not eating much before a 100 mile ride. Its pointless, the tank is full, and when you are only averaging zone 1/2, the tank fills itself slowly from your fats giving hours of cycling. Just eat a sandwich, a banana etc, stop for a coffee somewhere. Meanwhile my friends where chugging on the carbs, water and gels every 10 minutes having to stop every hour to pee

Or, if they were carb depleted (in ketosis) before the addition of the carbs in the study. I'm pretty sure that subjects in ketosis would experience a training benefit from ingesting carbs before training. Yes, subjects in ketosis can get glucose and glycogen from gluconeogenesis, but I doubt they can get it fast enough during exercise for peak performance.

I'm just an average over fifty guy, work in a factory, limited time to train, six to seven hours sleep, walk about 10k at work per day but my passion is cycling. I did Keto for a year, lost a lot of weight and yes could still ride my bike but it severely lowered the number of big efforts I could do. Steady state I was fine but I lost all my explosiveness. I brought carbs back into my life and yes I gained weight back but I also brought back my ability to hang on the group rides, gap riders and sprint. This is just me, I'm not a clinical study I'm a me study. Find what works for you!

I carb cycle and I can definitely see a difference in the fullness of the muscle after I eat carbs, especially after a low carb day.

Right because carbs need more water molecules. So it adds water weight which will fill out muscles, just like creatine.

Tommy boy, it is not we who have been wrong it is you and you are still wrong, it doesn't matter for you either way, your juiced up, but the fact is carbs build muscle, this is why anyone who wants huge or decent muscle mass eats carbs.

Man, you have run on Keto for the last 10 years, and now when KZbin has changed its algorithm in a way that whoever says something on Keto will not be prioritized, you say "We’ve Been Wrong About Carbs", yes of course, and we all are idiots.
