So I am a guy who has been training for a long time (lifting 14 years). Unfortunately I have always been a chunky muscly guy. I decided one of my goals for the new year would be too become lean and muscular (obviously the ideal physique).
To attempt this, I am going to eat 100g of carbs a day. This is not quite a ketogenic diet but something close to it.
My initial thought is that by reducing carb levels, while continuing training will result in a loss of weight and body fat, creating a lean and muscular physique.
I think when you consider diet, it is worthwhile to develop a good physique, but if you eat poorly it can affect the rest of your life... low energy levels, or even make you stupid. I think too low carbs (keto diet) actually makes you dim witted and so does too few fats.
So it's important to have a good diet while also achieving your training goals.
I'll keep you guys updated.
