Hi guys,
I eat a carnivore diet, basically only red meat, fish, and about 12 eggs a day. This gives me a low bodyfat percentage and flat stomach year round, even if i eat 5000-6000 calories of meat a day. I am pretty ripped. I have the protein to gain muscle as well, but I want my muscles to have a fuller, more rounded look to them. I believe this is better accomplished with carbs.
To achieve this more pumped up effect, I plan on including milk in my diet (still an animal product), and will incorporate 50 g of dextrose and 50 g of milk sugars into a protein shake post-workout to dump those carbs into my muscles during that short anabolic window. The rest of the time I plan on eating 0 carbs as I normally do.
I have no doubt the added dextrose will give me a fuller look, but eating high doses of simple sugars is obviously a bad long-term health strategy. So my goal is to use the dextrose for 3 months to build some muscle and gain some size, and then after that to only use high quantities of milk post-workout to provide the carbs (milk sugars) during that anabolic window. If I do this, will I lose some of the glycogen storage in my muscles provided by the dextrose, or would I be able to wean off the dextrose seamlessly by replacing it with a healthier carb source (milk)?
When it comes to bodybuilding, I try to combine the best of both worlds... health with muscle gains. I come more from the health side of things and less from the bodybuilding world, so I really dont believe carbs are good for anyone long term and not needed. But lets be honest... they give you that nice full look to your physique and hence why I want to find a way to incorporate them into my diet.
Second question is, if I cut out the dextrose AND milk after 3 months of bulking and go back to my 0 carb carnivore diet, will I automatically lose all that glycogen storage even with no cardio and high calorie diet of protein and fat? As you can see, I am trying to experiment with a way of having my cake and eating it too. Not sure if this will be achievable....
