[Stormspirit]

Carbs are just an illusion...you don't need them...50 is too many for keto 30 or below is right.

Keto sucks, and it's not necessary to get ripped.  Sure it works, but so do many other diets that don't throw you into ketosis. Unless you like torturing yourself, why do it?

I've tried it for a few weeks and hated the keto diet.  I was miserable and had no energy...and I followed Dave P's protocol to the T.

In the past I have done zero carb with just meat and fish...I have never dropped weight like that but after a few weeks it gets old. It's just in your head. You don't need carbs.

ok you guys convinced me. im bumping the carbs up to 100g+ a day, its just i cant do cardio in the morning, i do it after i train and ive heard that if you have carbs in your system cardio burns the carbs before it burns any fat, so i figured a low carb diet might be best for me, this is my first time cutting so i dont really know my body...

ive read that your brain cant function properly under 100g carbs, seems 2 be the case w/ me

dude i'm telling you just run 1.5-2 miles on your off days and keep your carbs the same as before and the weight and bodyfat comes off, i'm down 15 pounds since starting it with the only bodypart coming down in size being the stomach.

I hear that Dave.

Dave, post up the study that shows carbs are needed; that muscle growth isnt regulated independently via quite separate kinase pathways unrelated to carb consumption.

Shit, how tall are you?  Unless you're 9', you're clinically obese!  (not that we couldn't tell from the pics).  I'll wager at more normal body fat levels you'd be 175-180 tops.  You'd probably compete in the 160's.

I am clinically obese; anything over 18% for a man is clinically obese.
