No not me! But my son is active and keen to body build in the sense of lean, strong and muscular rather than the huge powerlifting sense. He’s reading a lot about increasing carbs massively, bulking and cutting - all very much the traditional views. Til now I’d done a reasonable job advocating moderate rather than high carb and avoiding processed or sugary foods and lifting the demonisation of fats. He’s now tracking macros (and calories).
Is there someone or something out there that anyone could recommend as a good source of learning how moderate/lower carb can work for these particular goals? He’s young, very fit and healthy with no know conditions - just the family history of type 2 and insulin resistance to be aware of in the long term. I just would like to be able to give him an alternative view to consider about the nutritional way forward.
