    I totally load myself full of sugary carbs on my heavy cardio and heavy lift days. It makes a huge difference if I slam 40-60 grams of sugar about an hour before my wprkout and sip a sugary Gatorade during it.

      This this this. This is exactly how to use carbs. And I’m one of the ones shouting “sugar is [generally] the real enemy” (although not keto because keto is also generally not the right answer).

        Keto is how you lose all of your muscle mass. My diet is more or less set for me by my coach/personal trainer. I eat 5 or 6 times per day and I have been losing body fat percentage and gaining lean muscle mass at the same time. It is hella slow though, but seeing incremental progress feels so good.

          Sorry… that’s nonsense. You don’t need carbs to maintain or put on muscle mass.
