You can’t. You can cut weight. No matter what you will lose some muscle.
Yes they do, they told me.
Is this last dude serious or has he read too much Paleo pseudoscience woo?
"Mytheo-poetically, you could see it as a difference between things that want to be eaten (fruits), and things that would rather not be eaten, if you please (grains)."
Lmao
You know vegetables also "don't want to be eaten," right?
Also, you're still on about lectins? Come on.
Butter is not a health food. It's fine in moderation but there are lots of other foods that don't "spike insulin." Butter isn't magic.
I'm so amused.
You'll need carbs for high intensity activity.
Try very light jogging or cycling in the morning for a hour and a half to two hours straight. This will burn fat. I've been doing this, and I'm losing weight, and looking far more ripped, and maintaining a good amount of strength in relation to my weight. See what it does for you. Went from hovering close to 180 to about 167.
However, you need carbs for high intensity training like grappling.
- Keep protein in the 1.8-2.2g/kg range for muscle retention when dieting
- Perform high intensity resistance training, you can reduce your volume by up to two thirds and still maintain your strength and muscle mass
- Don't fast, muscle protein synthesis is reduced during fasting
- Eat the majority of your daily carbs around your workouts to ensure that muscle glycogen is filled up, this will also increase whole body fat oxidation
No you dont
Carbs --> Glucose --> Cellular Respiration --> ATP --> ATP PC --> Anaerobic activity --> High intensity --> Grappling
In theory...
Ever heard about ketosis?
Listen I have always believe the same, But from
My late experience, I have no problem training hard and being in a 16 hour fast... my clase mates even fast harder, for 20 hours...
Fasting works, you actually feel clearer more awake than when you consume carbs...
If you're confident challenge the science that is out there and prove the doctors, and researchers wrong. True ketosis is hard to achieve, and minus studying you in a lab we have no way to confirm what you're saying.
Why do you think athletes who are on a weight cut feel sluggish, and drained? A large part is the calorie restriction that is reducing carb intake which is interfering with the production of energy as I explained in my previous post.
I am presenting you principles that you can look into on your own time, and come to your own conclusion. You presented me with "no you don't". If you find my explanation is indeed backed by science, and research and still don't like it I would encourage you to contact some reputable people in the field and challenge what they're publishing. Until then, we are where we are.
I’m not a bout to go to YouTube and post a trillón explanations on why intermitent fasting works, you can do that for your self... it works.
Fighters restricted the self of everything eating and even drinking, fasting works by making your body getting energy from fat, not carbs, in theory, I’m no expert on the issue, I’m just seeing results keeping it simple, fasting isn’t a diet, so you get your calories intake, just during a certain period of time...

Low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diet impairs anaerobic exercise performance in exercise-trained women and men: a randomized-sequence crossover trial
You made the claim you don't need carbs for high intensity activities. I explained to you why your assumption was wrong. I even provided a basic breakdown of what is happening inside of your body, and how carbs fits into that equation. You've presented me personal experience, that again we can not verify on this forum.
I got my insight from the head of the Exercise Physiology Department at the local university, a reputable PhD holder. You keep saying "theory". No it is accepted as being true. If it is not true, I again sincerely encourage you to challenge the evidence we have on hand. You may become famous for it.
Anybody can upload anything on YT, try reading a peer reviewed journal. Those are experts who are holding other experts accountable before the material gets released.
Intermtent fasting is not a low carb diet, is not even a diet...
I didn’t say you don’t need carbs, I said you could be fasting, you will eat your carbs, just in a different way...
Anyways, ketosis seems to work no low carbs but high fat. Again I’m no expert, but as far as I can see, this fasting thing works, and very well...
I know IF isn't low carb. I'm a memebr of the forum where Martin Berkhan (the lean gains guy who popularized IF) started to theorize about IF and it's benefits.
So are you fasting with carbs around your workouts, or are you cosuming a low carb diet to be in ketosis?
I made the claim that you need carbs for high intensity activity such as grappling, you simply replied "no you don't."
Here is an excerpt from a published book "Endurance Sports Nutrition, Third Edition" by Suzanne Girard Eberle. Eberle happens to be a RD (Registered Dietitian):
"Carbohydrate
Provides a highly efficient source of fuel—Because the body requires less oxygen to burn carbohydrate as compared to protein or fat, carbohydrate is considered the body’s most efficient fuel source. Carbohydrate is increasingly vital during high-intensity exercise when the body cannot process enough oxygen to meet its needs.
Fat
Helps fuel low- to moderate-intensity activity—At rest and during exercise performed at or below 65 percent of aerobic capacity, fat contributes 50 percent or more of the fuel that muscles need.
(http://www.humankinetics.com/excerpts/excerpts/the-bodyrsquos-fuel-sources)
My post was always about what would be needed to fuel his grappling, which is undeniably carbohydrates.
I have provided you with two reputable sources, one a RDN, and the other a university department head with a PhD. They are both saying the same thing.
Please review our conversation if you are not understanding what we are discussing here.
On the other hand, gram for gram, fats provide more energy than carbohydrates.
The reason for this is the amount of oxidation that takes place as these compounds are converted to carbon dioxide and water. Carbon for carbon, fats require more oxidation to become CO2 and H2O than do carbohydrates. Roughly speaking, carbohydrates already have one oxygen for every carbon atom, thus, each carbon atom needs only one more oxygen and each pair of hydrogen atoms needs one more oxygen. However, almost every carbon atom in a fat molecule needs two oxygens instead of just one additional one, and each pair of hydrogen atoms still needs one more oxygen. So, just from counting the number of oxygens needed to be added, fats require about half again as much oxygen for the same number of carbon atoms. Because of this, the oxidation of fats takes longer, but it also gives off more energy.
When comparing gram to gram, instead of carbon to carbon, the effect is exaggerated. When you weigh a carbohydrate, more oxygen is included in that weight. When you weigh a fat, you get more carbon atoms per gram and therefore, gram for gram, the fats will give even more energy (over twice as much) than will the carbohydrates. Generally, fats provide about 9 kilocalories per gram and carbohydrates provide about 4 kilocalories per gram. (Using nutritional units, that is 9 Calories/gram for fats and 4 Calories/gram for carbohydrates.)
No, I’m just fasting, I eat normally, your supposed to
Get in a ketosis state by fasting...
