    Absolutely! And I wasn't suggesting cutting carbs to get ripped...this diet worked well for me as I lost most of my BF on the CKD - each person reacts differently to to carbs, prot, fats, etc. My ckd consisted of almost 60% fat including bacon and butter! The point is my body reacts better with fat as an energy source than carbs, to a point. Now I'm slowly introducing the carbs again but very careful what and when I eat them.

    Gettin ripped/cut/lean is all about ONE thing. Manipulating your body to use stored bodyfat as an energy source. This can be done very effeciently with a moderate or even high amount of carbohydrates in your diet.

    fireguy do you think you can expand a bit more on this?

    how would one go about manipulating your body to use stored fats on a high carb diet?

    I did a 14 week precontest diet this year that was scheduled as such;

    430am- Cardio 45 minutes

    600am-8 eggs whites (two yokes) crab meat
    1 cup oatmeal

    815am-7oz 93% ground beef, Veggies, 250 Gram Sweet Potatoe

    1030am-7oz Chicken Breast, 2 pieces Daves Killer Bread.

    1245-7oz Turkey Breast, Veggies, 250 Gram Sweet Potatoe

    3pm-7oz Turkey Breast, Veggies, 250 Gram Sweet Potatoe

    4pm-Train (1 bodypart) Cardio 45-60 minutes

    530pm-8 Egg Whites (two yokes) crab meat
    1-cup oatmeal

    8pm-Casein Shake in Water.

    Daily Totals came out to right around 350 grams protein and 350 grams carbs with minimal fats. I used MCT oil in the egg meals which added a bit of calories which were in the 3300 a day range. My contest weight was 195lbs.
    I used this up until 7 days out and did a mild carb drop (200 grams) for a couple days to help shed some water. This got me down to around 6% BF.

    FG - were you cycling while on this diet? I’m presuming you were pre-contest…I’d be interested to know what you were pinning and @ what dose p/w? Cheers

    Amen bro! And agreed, however, I have achieved this by using fat as an energy source, not carbs. In the very least ppl have a choice when it comes to choosing what diet works for them and I see no harm in changing your diet every 6-8 weeks (as I did) with great results! Carbs, IMO, are not the be all of end all, yet it seems to be the general consensus among the bodybuilding community. After years of training and experimenting with different diets I found that changing my diet on a regular basis had a positive affect on weight/fat loss. In short I’m not disagreeing with you bro but merely suggesting there are other options for those whereby carbs just don’t agree with them.
