[QUOTE="Barry Jeffreys, post: 121975, member: 24217"] I am sorry if my posting appeared to be negative towards low carbing, which really wasn't my intention. It has so far made a massive change to my life, so why would I be negative. My posting was really to find out what others have found as a result of taking the same route, especially those that spend time in the gym. I will take a look at the site you mention and see what I can find out. On the other point the reason for measuring my fat and muscle levels is because its easy to put weigh on while your'e training hard and eating harder the important thing is what that weigh actually is. I have lost close to a stone in weigh since starting low carbing and my monitor seems to show that nothing has changed the muscle / fat percentage , thats what puzzled me. During my change of diet I have maintained my protein intake so was hoping that my muscle mass wouldn't be affected by my diet. My fear was that in losing weigh I would end up just skin and bones as the body started digesting muscle for energy rather than fat and Carbs. I know that to increase muscle and strength you need protein and my question was do you also need carbs. Since making my posting it seems by increasing my the amount of weigh training during my weight training days I am seeing the return to strength increases so maybe it was my transition to more cardio and less weigh training that was the real problems not the reducing in carbs, will keep experimenting.
