what's the least carb intake; for a muscle to still be building?

[abbot138]

Both diets are good...keto and carb use, just depends on the individual. I find it with myself it's easier going keto....crab cycling drives me nuts and leaves me feeling hungry quite often....but both work for me...I normally do keto but this go around I'm doing carb cycling of low to no carbs and eveyr 3rd day carbing up....been working for the past 16 weeks, dropped down to 5% from 11% and have only lost a little over 1 pound of muscle.

Yeah, thats what I normally do as well once I get around 10%. And yeah on the no carb days I feel pretty much worthless. But hoenstly after reading this thread I am considering trying Keto next go around. I didn't realize that your body adjusts to it after a few days and that as you put it it is actaully easier than cycling from a mental aspect.

It is, but it has it's ups and downs like any diet....hell give it a try, you just have to make sure you eat healthy fats. People sometimes think it to be like atkins....keto you eat alot of chicken, fish, red meat sparingly and take a crapload of EFA's... but it's do able. Try it and see which one performs better for you.
