    Low-Carb on Off Training Days?

    I was going to suggest TKD instead. But I do enjoy the discipline of CKD. Sadism!

    Low carb vs Carbs in the morning

    I use 4C flavor packets because the type I buy contain electrolytes, which I think are more important for staying hydrated than simply drinking gallons of water a day.

    Low carb vs Carbs in the morning

    This study costs money, but it seems that the abstract gets at the cortisol argument: ScienceDirect.com - Physiology & Behavior - Effects of single macronutrients on serum cortisol concentrations in normal weight men

    Conditioning and ketosis

    In his defense, it's not like he's the only person who says that ketones can be used for fuel in place of glucose made from carbs. A different take on this subject would be to look at some of Peter Attia's blog posts on physical performance while in a ketogenic state. You can find that blog...

    Low carbs.

    Nor would I say that bananas are fibrous fruits... Also, what is this "low carb blowout" you speak of?

    Increasing muscle on low carb

    Among other hormones, carbs cause your pancreas to secrete insulin, which is an anabolic hormone. That is, in influences the movement of nutrients to muscles (and elsewhere) to influence muscle growth. This is the reader's digest version of it, as your question is quite the can of worms to open.

    Increasing muscle on low carb

    Ketogenic low carb? CKD and TKD are considerations for that sort of thing. I like CKD, but I'm also not very strict about my rules during those carb up days either...

    Paleo vs Low Carb Paleo and Cravings

    For most people, low energy is indicative of not hitting your macro percentages correctly, not of the diet itself. It sounds like he's having a hard time controlling cheats in the first place, so it seems to follow that the uneven energy levels could be caused by blood sugar spikes. Maybe I'm...

    Apple Cider Vinegar

    Any opinions on ACV in tablet form? I know it's cheap enough in liquid form, but it's also easy to pop the recommended daily 2 on the bottle and be done with it.

    White Button Mushrooms Inhibit Aromatase... Boost Testosterone?

    To be fair, the question was more directed at mushrooms really than it was OTC supps.

    Low-carb plus beer diet

    I don't know what kind of beer you're drinking, but I'm drinking lots of stouts and heavier ales. Most of those are in the neighborhood of 15-20g of carbs per 12oz serving. I'm having 2 or 3 of them, too. I just use some damage control and have them 1 or 2 nights a week, preferably during a...

    Question for IF experts: longer fast periods

    I like to think of it as a good way of building discipline. But it's also a pretty easy way to rid yourself of fat if you do it right.

    Red meat everyday?

    If that's the same thing as sirloin tips (from New England, that's what we call them), then close, but no. Nothing beats a damned ribeye. I love me some porterhouse, but I can skip on the sirloin strip, personally. Just leave me the tenderloin.

    The Official LOW-CARB Recipe Thread:

    You'll get some trace carbs from eggs and cheese, if anything. But the crust should be close to nil. I'd give it close to 3 net carbs, estimating. I'm still waiting for that buckeye recipe....

    low carb-no carb protein bars

    Having a 7 net carb bar is not going to kick out out of ketosis. And it's not like that's the most important factor in doing a low carb/keto diet, anyway.

    no carb noodles

    If those are shirataki noodles, I've read that it's best to fry them for a bit before using them for whatever you're doing, as it will help out texture. They're definitely not a real noodle experience, but they're a nice crutch to have something like pasta when you want it.
