u will gain for sure, but looks has to do a lot with personal genes and metabolism....I just never heard any of the top level pros doing it that way, besides Palumbo, but I dont even think he was a pro, but he was a monster.
Palumbo posted this on RX Muscle a few years ago. It was his offseason diet to get his biggest, which I believe was 285 lb:
MEAL #1: 10 whole eggs with 1 cup oats-- eat cooked
MEAL #2: 1.5 Met-Rx Packets (white packet) with 100g carb (ultrafuel)
MEAL #3: 6 McDonalds Cheeseburgers with Fries and 2 Apple Pies
MEAL #4: 1.5 Met-Rx Packets (white packet) with 100g carb (ultrafuel)
MEAL #5: 12 whole eggs, 1 cup oats, 1 cup apple juice, 40g whey protein-- BLEND and DRINK
MEAL #6: 1.5 Met-Rx Packets (white packet) with 100g carb (ultrafuel)
MEAL #7: Chicken (8oz) with 1 cup rice
MEAL #8: 1.5 Met-Rx Packets (white packet) with 100g carb (ultrafuel)
MEAL #9: 12 Whole eggs, 1 cup oats, 1 cup apple juice, 40 g whey-- BLEND and DRINK
MEAL #10: 1.5 Met-Rx Packets (white packet) with 100g carb (ultrafuel)
MEAL #11: (middle of night: 3am) 1.5 Met-Rx Packets (white packet) with 100g carb (ultrafuel)
MEAL #12 (middle of night: 5am) 1.5 Met-Rx Packets (white packet) with 100g carb (ultrafuel
As you can see, he ate a lot of carbs to become a monster.
I think John meadows got his pro card correct? I'm not sure if Shelby Starnes is a pro either but both of them are "timed carb" guys
Meadows' Mountain Dog Diet advocates less than 1g of carb/lb of bodyweight from what I've seen in the sample diets for both gaining and cutting.
Starnes carb cycles from what I remember.
i never get why people want to use expensive protein sources for a glycogen source when carbs are right there.
besides, its cals in v cals out once yr protein needs are met anyway.
no matter what the fuck people try to argue. some just like to feel superior cuz theyre on the carbs are bad bandwagon.
Calories in vs. calories out is a gross misconception. Losing weight and losing fat are not the same thing. The body will always preferably get rid of something it doesn't need to survive. Bodybuilding is essentially fighting off homeostasis. The body has no need to be 250lb with 6% bodyfat. So if macronutrients are incorrectly manipulated, it will get rid of muscle mass over fat.
I think enough calories is what makes you feel "good", when people go lower on the carbs they usually do not bump the fats enough
I disagree only for myself because I've tried low carbs (< 50g/day) and making sure to adequately bump fats and the fact remains that carbs is the preferred fuel source. It takes 3-4 days to get into ketosis, but I've heard 2 weeks or more to truly adapt to using ketones as an energy source. Committing to keto is just that; a commitment. The menu just gets too damn boring and feeling lousy for that long is tough to get through.
