New Discovery on Best Diet to Lose Belly Fat vs Best Diet to Build Muscle

Yep. Zero carb carnivore for two to three weeks to burn fat, then about 7 to 10 days of a diet with low to medium carbs with heavy lifting allowed me to burn off 40 pounds of fat over 4 months while putting on about 7 pounds of muscle. I think timing has a lot to do with how quickly your body adapts to change.

I was just poking my stomach fat as this video popped up 🤣

I am an older lady (72), I lost 130 pounds mostly in my 60’s. I’d like to lose 30 more….and it’s mostly belly fat.I stay very low carb, and sometimes carnivore. I also do a lot of 17-20 hour fasting. I do stretch bands, weights on my ankles while walking uphill on my treadmill. Would LOVE to learn how to actually burn actual belly fat!

Love seed. It helped me overcome c. Diff after a hospital stay.

I don't think you can do it all in the same day maybe weekly or monthly because . Entering ketosis typically takes about 2 to 4 days if you drastically reduce your carbohydrate intake to around 20-50 grams per day. However, this can vary depending on factors such as your activity level, age, metabolism, and how strict you are with your carbohydrate restriction. Some people might take up to a week or more to reach ketosis.

You are a hard man to keep up with Tom!!

I think I’ve been bulking on weekends and cutting during the week for 41 years.

Love how you parse this out, keep it coming Thomas!

Is there a study on medium carb, medium fat, high protein? Wouldn’t that be a happy medium

very well done, thank you

I work out from an over night fast. Not the ideally way to maximize growth - then again my workouts are short in duration and I can not stomach anything prior to lifting or exercising. 16 hours would have passed without kcal intake. When I finish my session - the floodgates to food are open. * Mike Mentzer basically said, no carbs no muscle. 60% carbs, 25% protein and 15% fat. Mentzer recommended consuming carbohydrates before a workout to maximize performance. By providing the body with readily available energy, it ensures optimal strength and endurance during exercise. * Why not cycle carbs. On training days keep them high On non training days keep them low. Some I have seen recommend, 3 days low carb, then 1 day high. * I guess the bottom line is, find what works best for YOU,

This is essentially what I call “carb cycling” which I’ve been doing/teaching for years and it works! 🥳

I’ve been low carb for a few years, but have been feeling exhausted after intense exercise (two hours on a bike). Gonna start introducing carbs after exercise to restore glycogen.

Gary Brecka referenced 30/30/30 for burning fat and preserving lean mass. 30g of protein within 30 minutes of waking up, followed by 30 minutes of steady state cardio. I know it’s simplistic, but I am curious what you think of it.

I do like your video Thomas!! Love from Italy 🇮🇹

I like your idea, i will try it. Thank you.

I eat low carb high protein……simples

This video affirms our advantage of being omnivores. Carnivores, keto people, vegetarians and vegans unite within any one person! And the combo results in health.

I was keto/carnivore for 6 years. For the last 3 months I have done the vertical diet and did notice a little bit of a benefit in muscle gain. Having said that my stomach was tore up. I am now trying a lower carb higher protein version of it

There are other health benefits from low carb and the test subject is me … Low carb did: 1. It controls my irritable bowel syndrome and gave me my life back 2. It gives me more energy 3. My triglycerides dropped lower than ever and down below 60 4. My insulin levels are below normal when tested through fasting blood testing and blood sugar dropped as well 5. Im 61 and my prostate returned to normal . Not sure if the low carb was the reason but it happened during this time 6. I believe mental clarity increased and there are some studies to show there is a brain connection with low carb and ketosis and some hints it may help prevent dementia 7. Food cravings decreased
