Atkins diet

[Rock_fght]

Is this good for muscle growth or will it make you lose muscle?

 

[nikegurl]

this is definitely a good question/topic to do a search on. there have been many discussions on Atkins.

overall i think most board members will agree that Atkins is not a good approach for any type of athlete - but read up! here are some links to get you started:

It's a great short term diet (2-4 weeks) beyond that I think it is very unhealthy.

Wont you lose too much muscle during those 2-4 weeks? I would think so.

Carb cycling is pretty good

when on any type of ketogenic diet you need to modify the training routine to a low volume program or something like a whole body routine down 3x a week, etc.

I was thinking of using it as a cutting diet.

Good advice. I must say that I think of ketogenic diets as a last resort though. I see no reason to put yourself on that type of diet if you can cut the fat through a balanced diet.

Agreed.

If you do keto - do low volume, heavy, full body workouts and keep cardio to a minimum... but if you can get away with it, a balanced diet is 100 x better.

That's the problem with most or all diets.
