What is ideal?? There seems to be pros and cons on both sides.
The only time I could get in the best shape of my life was with low carb. I liked the way I looked but I could not maintain it over a long period of time. Also I was "out of steam" a lot more. I could do a low intensity cardio but high intensity cardio was a whole different story.
Also the constipation was not good, and my BUN/ Creatinine would always be slightly high cause of the dehydration.
on the flip side it was great on cholestrol, and I definitely was in the best shape.
Low fat diets.. They are a bit more maintainable over months to years. I can do higher intensity cardio which is better for your heart. Constipation is not an issue. And I am not "dehydrated" as much. But I have never gotten into the same shape as a low carb diet. (GRanted I have not tried it hard enough like I did with low carb. so maybe its just that.)
Is it true, that when you body fat is in the 13-14% it doesnt really matter? its all about calories, and as long you keep your protein high you should see results. Only when it comes down to 8ish% is when you need to start splitting hair?
