You DON’T Need Carbs to Build Muscle (& Lose Belly Fat)- Thomas DeLauer
In this video, we will look at whether or not you need carbs to build muscle or if you can build muscle effectively on a ketogenic diet. Let's get into it!

Reference

On Keto at age 65 I have lost 40 ibs in the last 10 months and started
working out again and I'm now at 12% body fat.

Once I start eating carbs, it's Damm near impossible for me to stop.

I’ve gained lots of muscle doing IF 18/6, breaking fast with collagen, eggs, chicken broth and pork rind, during 10 months and some times doing 72 hrs and then lifting weights before breaking my fast. And doing Keto Thnx Thomas

We need a video on how to gain muscle with keto. Like how many carbs, how many meals, grams of protein, calories, etc.

Since I’ve started keto, I’ve been able to put on way more muscle mass and still lose 50-70 pounds of fat. When I do have carb weeks or so I don’t find myself having any better performance. In fact, when I’m carb heavy, I seem to get a lot less MMC (Mind Muscle Connection)

I'm going to start implementing carb backloading after my workout at the end of my fast. Good tips! Full keto other than that.

IR/T2 Diabetic. Back to IF/Carnivore/<20g Carb/Diem diet. Down 10 pounds in one month. Shooting for 25# loss in next 30 days to fighting weight of 165#. Upped cardio to couple of miles walk ever other day. Planning to add weights and machines odd days over next month. Had lost 70# prior to a few months before co19 lockdowns. Put on 20# due to inactivity and brews. Need to turn that about, cut brews, back at IF/Carnivore/Low Keto& Exercise @ < 1500 calories per day < 20g Carbs per day. Best

I switched to targeted keto after stumbling upon your video from March of last year "BEST Plan to Build MUSCLE with Intermittent Fasting - Complete Guide". It's too soon to know if I'm reversing my dramatic performance slide, but I already feel much better by just throwing in a few carbs after a fasted workout.

Some claims that the muscle build from carbs comes from the more glycogen and water stored in muscle rather than muscle fiber

Carbs are king. Eat more carbs the better.

[angelpotts]

So true on keto and I’m burning fat and gaining muscle

[ericopaschoalbitencourt]

I utilize carbs like a utilize sugar in a way. I save my sugar (40g~) to before my workout. I save my carbs for night hours after working out. I get fats and protein before workout and carbs and protein after.

Love it. I’m on my first week of being a vegan keto diet. I’ve been vegan for 3 years and got diabetes because of all the carbs I was eating. Now I’m trying to fix it. And love all your videos :) Thanks 🙏

[maherelridi]

For I train cross-fit 6 hrs per week, I usually train fasted and even when I load up on carbs, its mostly resistant starch(oats, beans, oat pasta, baked potato, sweet potato, etc) and I have never trained better and I go on high protein on my rest days

[erichanson]

I really appreciate this video! Thanks Thomas!

[maytem]

I find I can strength train better with carbs and run better in ketosis

[karenanson]

Wait, so I just ate the box of Mac n cheese for nothing?! 🤣🤣🤣

[wingsta]

Love your channel, I cut out sugar easy and I don't drink. I can do 72hr fasts relatively easy now. But cutting out carbs I find so

[marysee]

I appreciate the education. It is helping me reach my goals.
