[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 229528, member: 43589"] Absolutely. These are only guidelines and MUST be tailored to your individual metabolism. I do feel most of America has a huge problem with over feeding themselves with carbs. Exactly why the prevalence of type II diabetes/obesity has skyrocketed since the 70's. We have also become sedentary. What this diet does generally promote is in order to do resistance training the body needs some carbohydrates. For most, when the carbohydrate intake is too high, the energy spills over easily and is stored as body far. In the sport of bodybuilding, carbs are only used to fuel the body in the gym. That same concept can be used for just about anyone. My wife lives on a keto diet but she will be the 1st to admit that it sucks for the gym. She looks so much better with a few carbs so the muscle will fill out. But carbs make her fill bad. There lies the challenge with doing diets for others.....the old law of individuality. I feel top level bodybuilders are the true experts in diet. They have learned to achieve perfection. Over the years, I have learned a whole lot about diets from these guys that registered dieticians have closed their minds to. That being said of all the interviews I have done with pros, they all tell me pretty much the same thing, their calories/day are pretty much constant, they control the fat levels with exercise. Most diets over look the importance of exercise and instead have people cutting calories until they can't control the hunger. Most of those in the nutrition field also seem to not see exercise as of importance, I did a research study in grad school on this very subject. [/QUOTE]
