Well, Carl - As a 60-year-old post-menopausal women I don't possess an epenis (nor do I play one on TV), but I believe I haven't been wasting my time trying to build muscle while in ketosis AND consuming a calorie
deficit.
I've been low carbing for a fairly long time. Two months ago I began doing Super Slow weight training. In those two months I have put on 10 pounds of rock hard muscle while continuing to lose body fat and inches. That's right. TEN POUNDS OF MUSCLE. My pecs are so hard they feel like bone; you can bounce a quarter off my biceps.
My recently measured oxygen consumption is 100%. Oh, and I work out a
total of 40 minutes a week - 2 twenty minute sessions. Period.
Here's what I ate yesterday - 1983 calories, composed of: 81% fat; 15% protein; 4% carbs. To be precise, that was 26.1 total carbs, and 11.1 fiber, which means I ate exactly 15 net carbs.
My normal/average calorie intake is between 1300-1500 per day, but I worked out (for only 20 minutes!) on Tuesday morning, and I'm always ravenous the next day.
I have more energy than is good for me, sleep like a teenager, and am told I look about 20 years younger than I am.
Now, let's see how big your epenis really is.
Are you ready to admit that, while NOT running a calorie surplus nor eating carbs, I have in fact NOT been wasting my time "trying to add muscle"?
Come on . . . I just know you can do it . . .
