Do you still grow if you get enough protein but not enough carbs ?

Do you still grow if you get enough protein but not enough carbs ?

It would be very hard, you would get gains much faster by eating carbs. Carbs stimulate insulin much better than protein.

This chart says it all [Image: 28919d1248340830-dats-cjc-1295-ghrp-6-ba...oard01.jpg]

Of note, Leucine is the essential amino acid (and a BCAA) that has the best effect on insulin. I saw one graph that compared insulin response of Leucine with BCAAs and it was pretty much the same. Insulin is probably the most anabolic hormone in the body. GH and Test have catabolic properties (they burn fat). Insulin just stores: carbs, fats, and proteins. IF you workout the body is more geared to storing proteins as muscle and carbs as glycogen rather than fat.
