It really stokes your body into becoming a fat burning machine. I can't imagine cutting up as a 250 lb guy (I am one) while eating 5000 calories a day unless I am relying heavily on multiple drugs (Healthier than managing for fat intake?). As far as health goes, which is better? You have to decide. Its not for everyone. Its not all the time. If you're a top pro trying to win the Olympia and using massive gear probably not. If you're a guy that wants to look their best while trying to utilize dietary tricks as well as other non-drug hacks to maximize your gear and minimize the amount of gear needed, consider it.
If you've never tried it, when done right you get steroid-like results in terms on the change you will see in your body. I lost 30 lbs in 30 days one time and was never more ripped. And no, you wont look skinny fat because there wont be any fat left. Keto is another tool in your toolbox and many experts, even guys like Thibaudeux agree that it is effective. Anyone can take gear, eat 5000 calories a day and get "big". I have always found, as a minimalist AAS user, I have to use other hacks such as dietary tricks to get the look I want.
