Losing Fat and Gaining Muscle on a Low Carb Diet

Low Carb Diet

There are many different versions of low carb dieting. From the famous atkins, to advocare, to the no

sugar or grains, to some grains, to 20 carbs a day. 

Luckily you can lose weight and gain muscle on most of these, you just have to rearrange where you're getting most of your nutrition each day. 

Losing Fat and Gaining Muscle

If you're on a low carb diet, then you know that fat doesn't cause you to get fat; carbs do. The amount of protein you should be eating on a low carb diet is normally .8 to 1.6 grams per pound of bodyweight. To focus on losing weight while gaining muscle, you'll want to stay on the upper end of this. You should eat 1.3-1.6 grams per pound of bodyweight.

The reason for this is because protein is what your body uses to build muscle. Protein is also very filling. So by eating more protein, your body will have what it needs to gain that muscle, but you also won't be as hungry, when it comes to other food.

Not your mistakes, learn from other people's mistakes. Not your own
