Erik, are you lean year round? What is your personal experience with eating this way?
Yes. And, again, before the PEDs era came to be, when did the old skool natty guys do the this horse shit bulking, as in being fat slobs most of the year? They didn't! The old skool guys looked great all year!
I see now that you use drugs. You don't really care about your health and longevity, as the old skool guys did. You're looking for some easy short cut to get in shape. That won't happen. You need self discipline, in the Physical Culture sense. You eat what's good for you regardless of what you like, how it tastes, or what anyone else thinks about it.
This thread has gone all over the place, but the the answer is still the same. Either you do the low carb, high fat, and protein diet, with no, as in zero, cheating, to lose the blubber, or you don't. If you're not all in, then it won't work for you. That's the real world of the keto diet. Deal with it!
