Low Carbohydrate Dieting !!

[Doug]

For people who think that carbohydrates are the things that are going to make you fat and that you should avoid Carbohydrates at all costs....

Have a look at This Article for some eye opening facts......

Thank you so much for this! No, I didn't think carbs are making me fat but the ones I did eat before were not good for me...

Firstly we should omit the foods that we shouldn’t eat like sweets, candy, biscuits, cakes, pastries, baked goods, processed and refined foods like white breads, pastas, white rice, and basically any foods with added sugars.

All my favourites!! =[

The ketogenic diet is good for losing weight and is equally easy in losing muscle. Some people who follow these diets also use low fat which results in low calorie intakes which in turn results in muscle loss. For the majority of people a reducing calorific diet is more sucessfull in losing bodyfat...

Good article Doug, but I have found the whole nutrition and body building communities to be so confusing and contradictory. I bought the TNT diet book and it has worked very well for me, and they pretty much state the opposite of what you wrote. They also back their statements with research, so it makes it very hard to pick a good diet to follow.

For me, the TNT diet has worked as advertised. I have added muscle and lost fat, in addition to feeling and looking much better. The loss of energy was tough to deal with for about a week and a half, then my body apparently figured it out. I have recommended it to many of my heavier family members, and would recommend it to anyone looking to make a lifestyle change.

It seems every time someone makes a scientific statement a new one comes out stating the complete opposite the next afternoon!

Ah I have seen you have been drawn into the hype of the TNT diet, People who have a crap diet, can follow this type of diet but its not low carb, due to the carbs before and after training, and the two refeeding days. What the diet does do is teach people who have been on a crap diet for years to change their way of eating. But saying that, the diet is no good for bodybuilding or for building quality muscle. Remember that carbohydrates spare muscle from being used for fuel, in this diet low carb will mean muscle glycogen stores will be used for energy, if carbs arent replenished after training then the glycogen stores will not be available for the next session, and after three hard training sessions glycogen stores and approx half of what they should be. Also it will build muscle, at least for people who are starting training to the the neurological changes and muscle activation. You would build muscle on 300 calories per day starting out, but once you have reached the beginners level of adaptation then you wont build more muscle, thats why the TNT diet is for 12 weeks.....By following a balanced diet, giving the body exactly what it needs with regards to protiens, carbs, and fats, vitamins/minerals, eating good quality proteins, avoiding sugary, processed carbs, and foods high in sweetneers, avoiding the trans fats, hydrogenated oils, and you will have a good diet. Then finding exactly how many of the macronutrients your body needs and your off and running, Dont follow hype with books, things like the atkins, zone, protein power, cabbage soup diet, cambridge diet, tomato soup diet, water and fruit diet, the sex addicts diet, all will work for people to follow something that is in a book and tell them what to eat and when to eat it. But what all these diets dont say is that you cant follow them all the time......and especially if you are heavily into trying to build strength and/or muscle. You will also find that following the TNT diet (apart from the beginning phases) is not much different than following a protein and carb ratio of 40/40........Good luck with it though if you find that it works for you.

You stay in bed and have 20 sessions of sex per day, in between each session you have a piece of fruit, 2 carrots, and glass of milk, than at night time you have a bargain bucket from the Kentucky, (no fries), guaranteed to rip you up in 14 days or your money back......
