    the problem is that it is a 6 mo. study...look at a 12 mo. study... you will see that low fat will catch up and the low carb will platue. I don't believe in either....

    So what would your approach be???

    I'm debating with myself wether cutting a bit or not. I've always been skinny but since I started training (6-7 years ago) I've pretty much tried to bulk up ever since. So I could use a little cutting. Just not reached the size I wanna be at yet, so I'm paranoid of loosing my hard earned muscles

    Wasn't planning on going the atkins way but maybe something similar just with a little more carbs. Pretty much following the good advice in Rambo's sticky.

    It’s consistent with my experience too. I could have given the results based on empirical evidence. It’s nice to have a scientific basis to make claims though.

    Which 12-month study are your citing? I am not familiar with it.

    I am probably in the best shape of my life right now. Best definition with abs I have ever had. Basicly eating my normal low carb stuff and working out really hard. Muscle came back in a couple weeks, but not the fat so the definition looks pretty good. Thanks for asking.
