[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1582925, member: 30007"] Having worked with a PT who is reactive hypoglycaemic and at very low carb as a result, he certainly had no issues with gaining the muscle. The key is the type of exercise that you undertake. It's also worth bearing in mind that when people are put onto "Body Transformation" programmes, the first 3-4 weeks of these are usually done with a keto diet, as what they are trying to do is achieve body fat reduction alongside maintaining or increasing muscle mass. As a result, typically the training programme in a "Body Transformation" model is a lot of resistance training, weight lifting, etc, done in a way that also acts as HIIT, pushing the heart rate up. Although I'm T1, when I did such a programme, I was eating <30g carbs a day, and managed to lose body fat whilst gaining muscle, so it's eminently doable, it just requires the appropriate exercise.
