Very interesting article. Carbs are awesome.

I used to be a carbo-phob back in the day. i even attempted a keto-bulk, and it got me nowhere in terms of LBM gain.

@Jenn

Glad to hear stuff is working on your end with the carbohydrate increase. Keep it up.

@Yash

Thanks for the comments. Keep fats moderate to low if you’re active. I can see bumping them up for non-athletic populations, but unless you’re under an aggressive bulk fats can be kept right around half your body weight in grams.

A lot of people, myself included, that dieted low carb just assumed crappy training was an unavaiodable part of dieting, until I stopped being afraid of carbs. Now if I could only accept that carbs and fat aren’t arch enemies…

Hey Ryan. Good post. Figuring out what is the proper range for carb intake is challenging — it’s something that I’ve stuggled with for a very long time. As a rule of thumb I consume my body weight in grams of carbs for three days and then on the fourth day I will up my carb intake (then repeat the cycle). But to be honest, NOTHING and I mean nothing, gets me to lose body fat.

Great post, Ryan. Very true in my experience, as well. Keep up the good work!
