And being water bloated is good how?
The reason why i don't take creatine is because i hate looking bloated. I've been on the a low carb diet for over a year now, and i like my cut look.
Pfft. 6 foot , 150 pounds ripped to the bone huh?
I *am* a bodybuilder that has competed in several state contests. I'm well aware that bodybuilders use modified ketogenic diets (and a boatload of clenbuterol, winstrol, tren acetate) , but ONLY for contest prep - because you can't gain mass on a low carb diet. They only use it to achieve a dry, stirated look no achievable otherwise....i'm not aware of ANY bodybuilder that does this in the offseason. Also, NO SANE competing bodybuilder would do atkins - there is always a risk of muscle loss....bodybuilders (the ones I know) use a modified ketogenic diet that has a weekly carbup to prevent muscle loss...I have used this type of diet and like it alot.
Um, this thread isn't about the Atkin's diet... it's about a low carb diet. Why is it when people argue, they always use the extremes to make their point?
And yes, i've heard of SANE bodybuilders using the ketogenic diet... that's still a low carb diet.![]()
Don't tell me what bodybuilders do and don't do, little boy. I compete on the NPC level and have been in the iron game for many years - I know what drugs, diets and training programs bodybuilders have been doing for the past several years. I state again, you cannot gain mass on a carb depletion diet. Low carb diets are only suitable for contest prep. Long term ketosis is absolutely stupid for the bodybuilder. Anyways, why don't you share your stats and your pictures? Since you're so "ripped.".
