Sure he looks good but even though he shed a lot of fat he also lost muscle mass and his muscles look flat. Hope people understand that the human body is capable of storing roughly 500 grams carbs as glycogen in muscle cells and for every gram of glycogen stored roughly 3 grams of water is stored intracellularly which will increase muscle fullness/size/strength/pumps let alone recovery for intense training sessions. Now if ones goal is to just get lean and shed fat while adding some muscle/increasing strength than going low carb would benefit most but if your goal is to pack on as much muscle/strength and train heavy than low carb will not do it. I understand your own personal reasons for following a low carb based diet but I will put money on it that if you lift weights and eat a higher carb diet that you will be more muscular/stronger/fuller muscles/better pumps and notice improved recovery. Try a program which includes squats/deadlifts/bench low carb for x amount of months than try high carb and get back to me on what kind of poundage you are putting up and your gains in muscle size. If you have the genetics and are one that can tolerate higher carbs and eat clean whole food sources (complex carbs/lean proteins/healthy fats) you can still stay lean.

I think it won't be all that long before people will look back in amazement that it was assumed that huge quantities of carbs -- or even any carbs -- were required for optimum health.
And below, at left, is him six years younger, but when he was still eating carbs. (At right is him present-day, on a meat & water-only diet.) Again, no supplemental testosterone.
