[QUOTE="madman, post: 65169, member: 13851"] I would not be so quick to jump on the low to no carb diet. Sure it will aid in getting you lean but at the cost of losing strength/fullness in the muscles, no thanks! Muscles can store between 500-600 grams glycogen. Roughly for every gram of glycogen stored in the muscle cells it will pull in roughly 3 grams of water ( intracellular ) increasing muscle size/fullness not to mention carbs improve training intensity/recovery/strength when one weight trains. As good as Gironda looked he always looked flat same with Frank Zane who followed a low carb diet. I am not against low/no carb diets but I feel they are more effective for people prone to storing excess fat and have a low tolerance to carbohydrates/insulin sensitivity. If one lifts weights and is looking to gain the most muscle/strength carbs are where its at. Trust me if you have good genetics and a naturally higher tolerance to carbs you can get ripped eating carbs! [/QUOTE]
