wrong again. Smh. They followed a regular diet until cutting for a contest. Then they dropped the carbs basically ate meat and eggs fish chicken etc and drank water. When you eat this way you burn mostly fat. Then they carb up for a show. They took breaks on their steroids during the year and didn't use insulin until later ( belknap did. he was a diabetic and he got methead to try it too ( thats why he had the fat gut and said he ate carbs while dieting) The guys back then kind of relished in the dieting. It was hard, it was tuff but that's what they liked. As Arnold would say if you can't go through the pain barrier you won't be a champion. so that showed how strong ( mentally ) you were. All this high carb bullcrap is because they won't give up insulin. PERIOD. And NO you do not need carbs. Ever look at the food and drug guidlines? Do they ever list how many carbs a person needs? NOO. Because we do not need them and the little bit the brain requires it makes them out of protein.
AUSE THEY WONT GIVE UP INSULIN.
