[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 999646, member: 211504"] That's debatable. Plus, he specifically mentioned he wanted to gain weight. Remember, this is a 20 year old kid. He may have a lifestyle that requires carbohydrates in his diet. A low-carb diet MAY benefit him, but we don't know enough about his situation just yet. I will say that a low-carb diet has been very helpful at managing my diabetes and it should be a strong consideration for many people. However, it's certainly not a diet most people associate with bulking (intentional weight gain). Prior to my diagnosis this year, I had lost around 35-40 pounds. After my diagnosis, I wanted to gain it all back. Realistically, carbs HAD to be a part of my diet in order to gain that weight back in a reasonable amount of time. Of course, I'm not suggesting that anyone should do what I did. My point is: there isn't a "One size fits all" approach." I can burn through 300g of carbs in a single workout when some people might not eat that many carbs in an entire week. [/QUOTE]
