- Can you get shredded on a high carbohydrate diet? Hell yes you can and in fact I want to discuss some research that suggests it may be more beneficial than a low carb high fat option.

Paul Revelia Paul CAN I TAKE TYLENOL FOR KETO FLU HEADACHES, WILL IT SLOW DOWN FAT BURNING AND KETOSIS??????????????
@Paul Revelia
he is trying to make something basic which is not basic, we are not a refrigerator and the insulin model of obesity is not correct.
Hey Paul, I have an off-topic question and I understand if you’re too busy to respond. So, I know the general recommendation for number of sets per weeks per muscle group usually ranges 10-20 sets. The question I have is how this pertains to the back, since the back is made up of so many different muscles. Is it 10-20 sets per week for lats, and then 10-20 sets per week for rhomboids, and then 10-20 sets per week for traps, and so on? I know there’s a lot of crossover between all the back muscles on most back exercises so my fear is I’m overdoing some areas while under working others. Anyone in the comments please feel free to answer. I know there’s a lot of examples out there about what constitutes a well rounded back workout but I’ve never heard this particular issue discussed. Thank you in advance.
Your videos singlehandedly broke my 10 year carbophobia. I've haven't looked or felt this good in years and I'm now set to compete in the next 9 months. Thanks Paul.
Glad I could help
I'm currently cutting and mostly having a high carb diet, and it's honestly been the easiest cut I've done! Great video Coach Paul!
Keep it up
Can you please share your diet?
RonnyDFitness yep same carbs are massively underrated
Same here man, honestly I am even more liberal with protein intake or making sure to supplement with whey so that I can have plenty of calories left for carbs.
Are you not hungry a lot of the time though? I feel high protein diet keeps me a lot fuller for longer.
Great video with solid advice. Anyone thinking cutting Carbs needs to consider just cleaning up their eating first. I love how he talks about clean vs dirty carbs. That is the real key right there.
Nailed it! Carbs are training friendly. I've tried to limit them in the past but never again after my latest get lean phase.
Yes they are!
LOVE the advise. Back in January 2020 I started a KETO diet. Wanted to lose 44 lbs. I started I learned about all these recepies and foods to eat. Saw many videos and worked out very hard. Saw videos and a couple of documentaries and like you say, INSULINE and CARBS are SATANIZED. I was very happy with what i ate. KETO this. KETO that. Cheese, steak, bacon. PB. KETO Brownies. I lost about 26 lbs. Then i stopped losing weight. I got stuck on 220 lbs. I was like this for 8 months, Then I went to a nutricionist. I weighted 224 lbs and on a 20% body fat percentage. She put me on carbs. Lots. Whole grain wheat, corn, and fruits. And the results where almost immediate. I've been on this diet (she twicks it every 4 weeks) for 6 weeks and I've lost 5 pounds, but like you say. My muscles are popping and looking very lean. My goal is 13% body fat. I should be able to get there in another 4 weeks. Love my diet by the way. Thanks for the advise and Ill start to follow.
This is such crucial information. I was on a really low carb, low calorie diet for about 4 months and yes, I lost weight but it was not sustainable for me and when i started adding calories, I gained weight. Now, I am eating more calories but also eating carbohydrates (good ones like oats, Ezekiel bread, white and sweet potatoes, pasta and rice) with every meal and the weight is coming off. Not only that, but I have to say, I feel so much better. So carbs are NOT bad, if you eat the correct macros.
So u just slowed down ur thyroid and carbs now sped that up. Could have achieved the same by weekly refeed to keep thyroid working normally and rest of time keto. Nothing in the world beats keto for fatloss
You don't necessarily need keto for general fat loss and it varied from person to person. Fat loss generally calls for more protein and calorie deficit whether it maybe carbs you're cutting or fat. As exactly told by the research paul is referring here. Keto or now, you can shed fat the same rate.
John King any diet in a deficit makes u lose fat keto is not a magic pill
@Maher Justice many yes i also got shredded with high carbs. But keto is better. Why? Cause carbs release insulin and insulin directly stops fat burning. Keto keeps insulin super low so fatburning not inhibited.
@@johnking6727 keto keeps insulin low but your cells are suffering because you aren't giving them the glucose they need for proper functioning. If you want to be a fog-brained amoeba on a sofa then keto is the right diet for you. if you wanna get shit done then high carb
This is a great piece of advice. I know what he's talking about by experience. I tried a very low carb diet for a few weeks, with a caloric deficit to get shreded. I didn't only lose 70 percent of my weightlifting performance, but also my belly fat reduction halted. I deflated around my muscles. I started eating carbs again, and my waist started to trim down again, and I got my total performance at the gmy back. Carbs are a bodybuilder's friends during both bulk and cut.
I really wish I found this channel six months ago. He doesn't overcomplicated things, and he said his reasons of doing things.
Happy you are enjoying it!
Any diet is "ok" to get shredded, as long as you're in a calorie deficit.
P.s. love your videos!
yep!
@@PaulRevelia I remember in the 80's the school of thought was you needed the carbs to fuel the workouts otherwise muscle mass would suffer. If I understood correctly, the Hall et al studies seem to support that school of thought to a degree. Your thoughts ?
@@bart-kay No Bart, noone believes you.
can i really eat bread and BE SHREDDED???
@@weenerdawg3972 Yes the More the better
As a guy in his 40s who has been practicing combat sports for years and thus needed to make weight categories, that current trend of carbs and insulin demonization is really tiring...carbs are good and their importance in sports performance is undeniable. I believe this trend is informed by the current time-restricted fasting trends and people reading studies about obese or metabolically-compromised (diabetes etc.) subjects and wrongly drawing conclusions to a healthier, or even fit, population...there's also misunderstanding about why some athletes (strength, endurance or physique) may want to deplete their carbs temporarily for various reasons, none of them being that carb or insulin are bad. Thanks Paul and ProPhysique for countering this irritating trend with great information and proven results!
Thanks Anthony.
You raise a great point my friend...but Diabetics have every right to demonize carbs and insulin because it's the only (natural) way to fight off or at least live better with that disease. It's simple genetics (mostly inherited from their parents) and some are blessed (like you, i assume) while some have a heavier burden to carry to live well. Different diets for different people, I guess.
@@HufflepuffDaddy diabetes is caused by too much fat in the diet - intramyocellular lipid accumulations - which blocks insulin from working properly --> insulin resistance --> diabetes. Yes, lots of carbohydrates are a problem when you have a lot of fat in your diet, but your body needs carbs, so cut out the fat, then become insulin sensitive. When you are metabolically recovered and insulin sensitive, your insulin response can easily deal with the blood sugar spikes.
I have watched so many diet related youtube videos and now I can only eat air and dust.
Legit, it seems like everything is out to kill us.
Dust has too many carbs tho
don't follow a diet, follow a philosophy!
High protein, high carb and LOW fat for the win.
Exactly, when most ppl think of foods high in “carbs,” they’re really thinking about high fat foods
yeah high carb foods are boring, potato and rice lol.
Paul Revelia the average American sees potatoes and corn as a vegetable 😵
@@jamie5mauser I cannot tell you how many times I have tried to tell my husband that corn is not a vegetable.
@@jamie5mauser if you look it up, corn is a vegetable..while on the cob. After being separated to a kernel in becomes a grain. In case you wanted to know.
Yes exactly! Mashed potatoes and anything deep fried are high in trans fat, it's not the carbs that are bad!
I start to think that a lot of people call carbs the junk foods and blame them for that. Living on fruits, carrots, potatoes, rice and lean meats nose-to-tail is the easiest experience I ever had after years of dieting, lowcarb, keto. 1800kcal in rest days and around 2200 in training days. I don't feel like dieting!
None has ever got fat eatin’ veggies and fruits, stop playin’ wit me. Great vid coach
Dr Eric berg always promotes the keto diet as if it’s the only way to lose weight ( being in Ketosis ) but weightloss can be achieved with higher carb as well...
Exacly
Being a University Medical Doctor, I really appreciate and Love your talks.. Respect
Thanks for the support!
Dude, I think this is one of your best videos. Total gem in terms of quick-hit content. I'm a coach too and I'm sending this to a few clients as we speak!
Thank you Wes!
I know this video is 3 years old but I still wanted to say that I agree 100% with you, Paul. I am so tired of hearing about Keto and Carnivore and all the supposed miracles that result from it. I'm surprised a cure for cancer hasn't been accredited to both of them. I think its pure lunacy and it's created a societal paranoia about carbohydrates that continually gets more pronounced with each passing day. Just like with most fads, both will probably fade away in time but all these doctors and gurus on CZcams spouting off about the wonders of low or zero carb diets are not only irresponsible in my opinion but over the long term, detrimental to one's health. I respect your opinions and enjoy the video content you supply, so keep up the great work, Paul!
I've always came to the conclusion that if your high carb low fat or high fat low carb and in a slight deficit they both work well, its if your in a slight deficit with 2 fuel sources you see less results. Yes I know calories in calories out but in my experience the body seems to do better for fat loss when it only has 1 fuel source to deal with. I personally prefer low carb for the drop in appetite while cutting.
My body prefers carbs over fats and I never thought about it how you said it. It’s true for me very much my body doesn’t like carbs and fats at the same time
I do know one thing about high carbs from personal experience...if I've been spending a few days (or weeks) keeping my calories low to get lean, once I deliberately raise my carbs I look much better almost instantly.
As I've been adding calories back coming out of a deficit I'd rather add in good carbs like solid fruits and veggies/good grains rather than a bunch of fats. "Good fats" are really easy to over eat in my opinion, i.e. nuts, avocado, etc. 1g of protein per pound only accounts for about a third of what I'm guessing my maintenance needs are, carbs seem like the best choice and fuel to make up the difference.
Good stuff
Love that you and coach Greg have the same ideas. I'm eating 1700 calories a day with high protein and carbs. Some days I eat up to 250g carbs and I've lost weight efficiently and helps with cravings. Great work!
Yes his philosophy sounds very familiar to mine!
175protein for u on those days. Uughhhh so low. I am 300-400gr protein guy for the win
I love this man he actually has brought life to my dad world. I hated not being in control of my body and then I listened to this man and it hit me carb are good eating the right one's. Now I'm losing weight like water off a duck's back . Thanks for sharing your knowledge and blessings and more blessings to you and your family
That’s awesome
Good info Paul. There is so much misinformation out there. Keep it simple, eat clean, work hard, results will follow. Thankyou for your insight.
Glad you enjoyed it
It seems that so many totally sedentary people lost some fat with low carb that people thought carbs were the problem. Carbs are awesome fuel for those of us that are active! Tasty too!
Durianrider eats mostly carbohydrate (80-90% of calories) including sugar and he's shredded (he says best to be under 10 grams of fat a day if possible). Also he doesn't eat less than his hunger wants him to eat. Though he does tend to equate muscle mass with the amount of testosterone steroids used (which is true but I wonder about just using weights), and he does eat more protein when he wants to gain size (muscle).
I find it harder to eat less than my hunger wants me to eat also, therefore I think reducing the fat to bare minimum is the best way in this case, because even if I have a doughnut at work, I will retain the Mr Blobby. Whatever you're doing is obviously working better than whatever I'm doing. Though the gram pound protein does seem excessive during the cut (would seem better on a bulk depending on the steroid assistance level).
Another great one Paul!! I love carbs so I was happy to hear this! Lol
They are wonderful
Great video. From my limited experience I agree 100% with all you said.
I can't believe the likes of Jason Fung and even Ken Berry now (for whom I have great respect) saying CICO is totally irrelevant!
I'd love to see them try and compete in a physique event! LOL! Keep up the fantastic work and thanks for the simple and concise truth you convey to us in all your videos.
They are way off
Laws of thermodynamics cannot be broken
Seriously one of the best videos i have seen on the subject
Kudos Paul 👍
I understand the controlled science diet. What about individual various hormonal responses. We all process differently. That’s the x- factor. I tried all diets at all extremes, as well as balanced macros. I’m fuller looking, and hormonally stable with carbs every meal. I actually eat animal protein only at dinner. I eat a potato for breakfast, oatmeal, fruit, veggies, rice, throughout the day. Simple single ingredient carbs. Now my body has time to process food vs meat staying in your gut day in
and day out. More fiber and less strain on your colon. Less hormones from meat also. Less estrogen in my body. I really feel it’s working for me. And the responses i get is outstanding. Please try it out. It’s not the normal 1 gram per pound of body weight philosophy I’ve been doing forever. It’s the keep the hormones happy, gut bacteria happy, glycogen muscle feeding, starch/bacteria feeding, mind feeding, water/muscle filling, stomach digesting resting...diet....Paul what is your take on this? Thx forgot to mention my physique... 215 5’11 muscles popping, abs showing, no supplement taking, and never taken enhancement drugs. And still have a few drinks at night. Also workout 5 days a week. I do split upper and lower, with good muscle connection on each set, with breakdown from drop sets. All fed with whole food shakes or fruit/veggie
Combo. Also been working out since I was in
my teens and now I’m 44 still killing it. But always ate clean, drank my up to galllon of water per day, and past few months started the eat more carbs and less meat diet. And is the best thing I’ve done so far. The worst was the keto. FYI. Thx.
Sounds like a very good approach overall and I certainly agree with most of what you said
I used to eat low carb and recently added carbs back to my diet. My workouts and pumps have been so much better and I've found no difference with fat gain/loss as long as calories are kept the same. I
carbs are gold! I remember when I shed 30kg after graduation from High School in 2003, I only ate some white rice with some meat and vegetables and a bottle of milk everyday and I do many running and cycling. And when I was on keto diet around 2019-2021, I was very unhappy and energy-deprived! Think about many Asians including Chinese, Taiwanese and Japanese who can stay lean very easily! Think about the boxer Naoya Inoue! They have very low body fat percentage yet very light and powerful and QUICK！Lacking carbs is far worse than feeling trendy with keto.
I got really lean for bikini competitions on medium carbs. I only cut carbs on peak week. I like carbs in my diet as they give me energy to perform in the gym. I notice on peak week I cannot lift as heavy when carbs are very low.
yes i tend to increase carbs going into a show for muscle fullness but it all depends on what you need to look your best.
Finally!! Someone who isn't afraid to show the science behind carbs. Are carbs bad? Depends... cereal vs sweat potato... maybe? Is insulin bad? No, not if you wanna get jacked and fill glycogen stores. Insulin resistance... of course is bad and I do think that hormones are entangled with calories therefore not all calories are created equal BUT carbs are not bad and I think low carbs diets can really jack your body long term. Especially given that most people don't track blood ketones so if they are low carb and not in ketosis you're activating the HPA axis and pissing off the brain who will stop that fat loss. Awesome video, awesome channel!
I've wrote everything down these past 2 months and what I've done, but have crushed protein at a deficit... Went from the stay puff marshmallow man, to a average 35 year old mini bodybuilder. Found my 18 year old baseball body underneath years of average. No looking back now! Might up my Carbs, but just tracking protein has gave me nutty results, feel my genes for building certain muscle may be better than I expected! Super Proud!
I love this video. I like your point on how a lot of carbs that we see as carbs (doughnuts, pancakes) and so on also have fat. I appreciate that you don't demonize food groups. I heard binge eating disorder is one of the most common eating disorders in North America - restrictive diets can really mess people up who have this t type of disorder. You are a very trustworthy source. Thank-you for your wisdom.
Yeah most donuts have more fat calories, carbs are certainly demonized but not rightly so.
Good one paul. I also have been following Dr Sam Robbins and although i dont agree and follow half of what he says, this rule of his appeals to me and i follow. Basically he says have food which are either rich in (carbs and protein) or (fat and protein) and avoid food with high carbs and fat. And this has worked for me. This made me notice that nature surprisingly doesn't have much of high carb high fat food. So by default nature also only prefers either one of carbs or fat as energy storage and protein for organisms development.
Your refreshing Bro, i lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks, on a high carb High protein diet. Just suscribed!
Nice work!
3 years later but how you keeping your protein high and your fat low?
You mind posting your macros?
Great breakdown and those studies reveal that people shouldn't be afraid of carbs in when they are in a fat loss or cutting phase. Quality content.
Hell no!
Hi Paul! Very nice explanation and a great point of view on a classic controversial subject!
Greetings from Italy
Thank you Sacha.
Agree except if someone is suffering from “energy toxicity”, e.g. someone who has type 2 diabetes. Think about what we now call a protein sparing modified fast...very high protein, very low on energy. I think Dr. Ted Naiman has the best advice on all of this in his PE diet.
This was about a healthy person.
Paul Revelia , thanks for the clarification. Many in the flexible dieting camp will go after Dr. Jason Fung and others like him and don’t seem to care that their advice is for very metabolically sick people. Kudos to you Paul.
Perfect rationale and I thank you.
You're very welcome!
You make a lot of good points. Yes, it is true that insulin is essential to muscle anabolism, and I give much respect and appreciation to your point about the quality of carbohydrates. There is a lot of good truth in this video. But I'm sure you'll agree that there is not a "one size fits all" dietary approach to getting shredded, considering the large percentage of the population who have developed hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance from decades of poor dietary choices. How much carbohydrate a person can consume and still be able to burn fat depends on a person's insulin sensitivity. If your fasting insulin levels are below 6 microunits per milliliter of blood, then you can get shredded with the high carb approach, and your body likey will respond very well. But if you have fasting insulin levels of 18 microunits or more, you are very insulin resistant and won't be able to burn the fat as easily. An even better measurement is the Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) score. If your score is over 1.5, you are insulin resistant. If it's above 3 you are on the borderline of type 2 diabetes. So, bottom line, your level of insulin sensitivity vs. insulin resistance is relevant as to whether you can burn fat on a high carb diet by simply employing the caloric deficit "move more and eat less" model.
Thanks for the great info. I been doubting my diet carb intake because, I am at least, at a 1000 calorie deficit and only seeing the scale drop by about a pound a week. Thanks to you I'll give it more time before I decide to make any changes.
Glad it was helpful!
Ur thyroid is slowed down cause ur deficit is too great. Easy fix nothing to it. More calories. I diet on 2500cals and get shredded
It's so funny that I've just recently discovered this phenomenon on myself, while I was testing a very high protein diet. Because I ate lower amount of carbs, I slowed down, and even though I wasn't in a caloric deficit, my NEAT decreased, and I couldn't consume the same amount of calories as before the diet, without gaining weight! Very intresting.
Thanks for sharing.
So just refeed and speed up thyroid or take t3 and always have optimal thyroid
Thank you sir.. we really appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us ✊🏽
My pleasure
I am so thankful for this video! Thank you Paul! Your content has been so valuable to me!
You're so welcome!
I actually listened to Hall at NIH talk about this study!! Confirmed my nutrition philosophy as a future RDN!
Do you have a link?
Paul Revelia I’m not sure if I have a recording, but I do have links to his CV and references!
Very well explained sir...
It was a big myth and u cleared it. U helped a lot.
Wow I am so glad the truth is getting out there. I am so sick of the low carb myth. I've been eating a very high carb diet (80%+) for four years. I've lost 50lbs, without calorie counting (I haven't time for that). And my weight stays down. But whenever I up my fat, my weight follows. Everytime. Starch based diet for me works great!
Your videos are my favorite right now! Learn so much every time 🙌🏽
Awesome! Thank you!
When i eat low carbs muscles don't look good, they're there but not a good size. When I add more carbs, eating more white rice ,(am Asian eating rice from birth) and Sweet potatoes, I noticed my muscles increased volume significantly, specially the white rice.
I eat all types of food I like but the healthy nutritious foods. Exercise a lot and keeping active.
Thank you Paul for the video that relieved my guilt eating carbs 💕
Paul you are amazing teacher and I appreciate it your knowledge
A very informative and mind-opening video again. Thanks Paul!
Glad it was helpful!
I'm asian and been on high carb diet since I learned how to chew. Yet I'm ripped, jacked and strong.
I am 5'8 ht 209lbs with 7% body fat.
Wow that’s amazing… have you done this all naturally without any roids, hrt etc
Your videos = gems, always. Damn, and free too. Bless you Paul!!!
I am glad you enjoy them.
I think the culprit is when you combine high fats and high carbs that are highly processed and they usually go hand and hand just like donuts.
Very informative and articulate 👍 keep up the great work!
Much appreciated!
Man I can’t wait to join the team I have my ca tomorrow with Jorge ... I just want to get started 💪🏾
Perfect! He's awesome.
👍🏾
high carb diet on a deficit is so much easier for me. it basically doesnt feel like i'm dieting. feel like people who get fat on high carbs just dont track their calories and based their diet "intuitively"
Makes total sense. Caloric deficit the key.
as long as you keep your calories and protein at the right level, you will reach your goals.
you should make a video on muscle sparing genetics. its a major factor in how big a deficit someone should be in.
I don't know of any informatoin on the genetics of muscle sparing.
A simple heartfelt thank you for the knowledge you share with us all.
Thank you Kamal!
Same thing that the silver era said, Mike Mentzer too. 60% carbs, 20% protein 20% fat. Only time when protein should be high is when all you eat is only protein and fat, but even then it’s only for 72 hours that you should eat like that. Vince Jeronda- not sure of the spelling, said that the low carb method is only for a few weeks at most not for ever. Golden era also ate carbs, but only on the weekends.
It’s awesome information. I watched your video noticing refeed day but I ever heard you mention calorie intake on refeed day. Same calories training day or less than. All the best. 💪
Any time
I eat for performance and life! Excellent video! Thanks
You can diet on anything as long as you burn more than you eat/drink. You can eat 1800 calories of bread a day, burn 2000 and boom, you are on a bread only diet. Now somethings are healthier than others but when it comes specifically to losing weight, it does not matter. Thanks again for a great video.
Absolutely Superb Honesty/Practical Efficiency! God Bless and Thorough Thanks!
Thank you.

Awesome! Hope you enjoyed it.

Thanks so much!
Yes, soooooo sick of the carb phobia by the general population. Most people know nothing about nutrition.
I tried both low-carb and high carb for cutting, but I noticed that on high carb my muscles look much fuller at a low bodyweight compared to low carb.
Thanks for sharing!
Paul Revelia No problem!!
Here's a monstrous tip: stop over-eating. You'll lose weight. Run a mile a day. You'll lose it faster.
Well shoot. This is the video that made me subscribe. 👍
Awesome
So much things said Mike Mentzer about importance of carbohydrates.
Can you summarize?
@@PaulRevelia Markus Reinhardt
"My Diet mainly consists of Carbohydrates these days, making them almost 60% of
my overall caloric intake.
I used to experiement with low carb dieting but felt that it left me feeling
sluggish and looking flat (I did loose fat, but also too much muscle).
Mike used to tell me, "you can eat a pound of pure sugar everyday, as long as you
keep your calories below maintainance, you WILL loose fat!" - I did not try that -grin
However, Mike was right (as always). The last show that I did (MM2002) involved a diet
that mainly consisted of carbs (white rice, potatos, oats,fruit and some Veggies), the
protein content (chicken, GEN'S HumanPro, Eggwhites) was rather low in compare
to my "old-time" diets (250-300gr Protein!) - my protein intake roughly made it to
120gr-150gr!!! (no muscle tissue was lost at all!)
Of course, being a HIT trainer (Training brief and Intense) is part of the reason
too. Any other program (Volume, high sets) would've probably destroyed my lean
muscle tissue and left me with less size and therefore less active tissue to
burn fat in order to achieve the ultra-ripped condition that I ended up being in.
So after years (15!) of changing from what I originally believed was right (60/30/10)
to eating only fat and proteins over to eating low carbs and whatever else
the Fitness industry came up within that period of time, I ended up going
back to the "old school" approach - EATING BALANCED!
C,mon guys - THINK! - Muscles need carbohydrates to operate.
Mike always used to say, " Fat burns in the flame of Carbohydrates." - He was
saying that by eating them (carbs) someone would actually get a metabolic advantage.
Sort of like throwing dry wood into a fire, the flames will rise - He refered
to proteins like using wet wood instead, the flame would have a difficult time."
I do keto and super high protein all day long and for pre and post workout i take quick insulin and dextrose to optimise carb uptake around training. Works a charm
interesting i have seen Dom does this as he is very keto adapted.
@@PaulRevelia yes but works best with insulin. Natural insulin isnt enough to shuttle large amounts so i inject it. Works very well. Keto all day long and pre and post WO dextrose and eaa's for super compensation uptake
You take exogenous insulin as a non-diabetic?
@@stephaniez.potash2899 yes i do indeed. It is very anabolic meaning muscle building when done in certain way. Been used in sports since start of 90s
Fantastic content!
Thanks 😊
💓💓💓💓💓 great video! So so sick of hearing the anti carb people when I don't have carb intolerance, insulin resistance, or liver issues. Carbs make me feel energized and ready to lift heavy!
lol at insulin, it's a good thing!
Your muscles will look fuller with carbs because your muscles are mostly filled with water/fluid
For every gran of cargs to eat, you retain 3 grams of water/fluid.
Your muscles will gain this fluid and glycogen, making them fuller, but you may have to do other things to compensate for the extra water/fluid you retain. Harder to be shredded on high carbs.
Easier IMO fuller muscles improves the appearance
This is amazing. So I started at 85kgs a few months back and im down to 74 kg. got to this point by doing carbs but recently I switched to 2 days high fat(80-90g a day up from 45g) and high protein with low carbs(mostly from veggies) and 1 day of normal carb day(200g protein/170g carbs/45 fat ~1850-1900cal). Would you recommend that approach or should I just go back to carbs every day or maybe make the carb day a refeed? I have to say when I get to the carbs day I feel extra hungry probably because of the insulin spike from the carbs but its manageable. My goal is to lose ~2 more kgs. Thank you for the great videos! You've really taught me a lot those past few months.
I would say keep eating the way you are. If it’s working why change it. 60% carbs 20% protein 20% fats.
Fat is what makes me fat! Carbs are easier to burn. But keto and consistent fasting made me gain so much weight!
im done being scared of fats and carbs. ive been cooking my veggies and potatos in butter like my grandma did in mexico. guess what? the weight is still coming off and i feel better than ever!
Good to hear!
With respect, I noticed my hunger is much lower when Im doing low carb. When I add alot of carbs back in I'm hungry every few hours. I can do OMAD no problem on keto and I get zero crash
I agree with this
Paul this topic .this vedio was very helpful for me!!? Thank you!!
You're so welcome!
Was just thinking about this today and then this video comes up. Best fitness channel for questions that pop into peoples heads, and in return get a concise and informative answer to. Keep up the good work.
That's my goal glad it's working!
My macros for muscle build is
1721 Calories
196 gm of protein
45 gm of fat
135 gm of carbs
And my current weight is 150 lbs and fat percent is around 15% I think..
Is this macros is good enough for me?
Thank you Paul for this amazing video 🙏
Thank you for the breakdown on carbs💃
You are so welcome!
2:23 i can tell she’s in love with him
LOL
I always saw it like this, if you aren’t competing then you want to look the same with slight variations all year round. Why starve of carbs unless you plan to deplete them life long. Not to mention more carbs, more energy to stay active.
I could never cut on high carbs. It just makes me tired and hungry. Higher fat just makes me feel better all round, better digestion, etc.
There are many reasons such as diet history, hormonal profile, daily routine and also the sources of the carbs but if you find what works for you that's awesome!
@@PaulRevelia agreed. Insulin resistance Should also be considered
It seems to be a very trendy topic however I don’t see it as an issue very rarely
Everthing on point 👊☝️🙋♂️
Thanks!
Just found you on CZcams and absolutely love your videos! They are so informative. In this one you talked about protein intake ... “consume 1g per lb of your GOAL weight”. I have been consuming 1g per lb of my CURRENT weight which is about 20lbs over where I want to be. Could this mean I am consuming too much protein? PLEASE HELP. Thank you 🙏
Yes
You should get some of those foam square sound absorbing panels, I got a couple in my office and it took away the echo sound! (you have some echo)
yes i had them and just removed them I am doing some remodeling.
I think keto and low carb is probably best for type 2 diabetics and people that do not exercise, am i right? I was doing low carb and when i depleted my glicogen i felt weak and lethargic
Hey Paul, love your content, very informative stuff. Would you recommend the same carb intake for an endomorph? I keep reading a lower carb diet is better for endos... Thanks for your help!
I would recommend as many as possible.
Finding that balance is difficult.
I mean, when you're "enhanced", anything works!
Ps.
I do eat a very high carb diet, so I'm not at all bashing that.
