[QUOTE="madman, post: 53837, member: 13851"] Regardless of following a low carb/high fat vs high carb/low fat diet, the total calories consumed vs calories burned is the most critical aspect of diet whether a person is trying to gain or lose weight. Whether one trains naturally or is on trt eating a higher carbohydrate diet is better for muscle growth vs low carb. A lot of people especially on trt that follow low carb diets are missing out on making better gains in lean mass. I can guarantee you that eating more carbs mainly from complex sources (beans, lentils, oatmeal, barley, quinoa/low GI rice (parboiled basmati/uncle bens parboiled), sweet potato, yams, and whole-grain pasta will make your muscles fuller and stronger, give you better pumps and allow one to train more intensely (harder/heavier) while increasing overall recovery. Most people following low-carb diets tend to have that flat/deflated look due to a lack of glycogen stores. The human body is actually capable of storing 500 grams of carbs in the muscle/liver which would equate to 2000 calories from carbs alone. Carbs are stored in the muscle cells as glycogen and for every gram of glycogen stored it will pull in roughly 3 grams of water (intra-cellular) making the muscles fuller and harder. I am not against people that follow low-carb diets but how one responds to carbs and insulin all comes down to genetics which will always have the final say. Sure low carbs can be very effective for losing body fat in certain individuals but for gaining lean muscle mass carbs cannot be beaten. This is a pic of me when I was consuming 3500 calories/day eating 500 grams of complex carbs daily......yes 500 every day (2000 cal)......250 grams of protein (1000 cal).........and 4 TBSP fat (EVOO/SALMON OIL) (480 cal). I would say genetics plays a huge role in how one responds to CARBOHYDRATES! [/QUOTE]
