>Glycogen is a necessity for resistance training I agree. Its great that you don't have to eat carbs to get it. Your body makes and stores glucose for you if you just eat enough protein and fat. I stopped carb loading years ago, all it did was make me fat.

If you eat too many yes. If you keep your calories in check you can stay lean year around.

Im glad you have such great carb tolerance. But its a mistake to assume everyone reacts the same way to exogenous glucose.https://www.reddit.com/r/ketoscience/comments/8t36dg/varying_carbohydrate_tolerance_in_humans/ …

"If you exercise hard enough/frequently enough, you'll burn all the glucose before it needs to be stored as bodyfat (basing off insulin theory)."

Thanks for cherry picking. Just ignore all other variables in carb tolerance! Ignoring varying salivary amylase levels, microbiome, and genetics. Dont change your diet, its not the carbs, just work HARDER.pic.twitter.com/EpcJ5a4M9y

It's just straight forward lol. Find the amount of carbs you can burn and stay within that limit. That's basically what the whole article lead me to
-
Sigh, well you do you. All I can say at this point is I hope Ive gotten you to reconsider at least a little bit that there is more to glucose intake then just "work it off." This is a dangerous oversimplification and as a fitness authority you should consider that.

Dieting is not my selling point, but an area I'm trying to learn more about as we speak. Do you have any book recommendations?

I recently experimented with carb refeeding...and promptly put on 6 lbs. of fat in under six weeks.
-
What were your overall calories? And whatbwad your previous diet? If it was high fat you probably gained 6lb of water weight.
-
A good friend of mine is a nutritionist skilled w/bodyfat measurements. It's not water weight. I was very low carb. Calories around 2,000/day.
-
Idk man I'm on 3500 calories. 350 carbs and have been bulking for 2.5yrs. I'm under 15% body fat.
-
I track and weigh everything I eat though. It's very calculated. I stay away from breads and grain. My carbs are basically only rice, potatos and oatmeal.

High protein gets converted to glucose by an on demand basis. You don't need glucose/carbs if protein is high enough. cc

I'm not super educated on high protein diets but I've found more bad than good on them. "Higher total protein intake, expressed as percentage of energy, was significantly associated with a greater risk of weight gain when protein replaced carbohydrates"https://www.clinicalnutritionjournal.com/article/S0261-5614(15)00091-6/fulltext …

Here's a comprehensive walk through of all the best data I've found on surplus protein intake including appetite reduction and weight loss:https://www.reddit.com/r/ketoscience/comments/8i6m31/the_effects_protein_on_humans_renalorgan_health/ …

Ya he's a valuable resource and I invite all to check out his content.

You can use leucine to replenish muscle glycogen without affecting liver glycogen or ketosis. No need for carbs. You can use glucose before exercise, Targeted Ketogenic Diet. Last resort, periodic refeeds, Cyclical Ketogenic Diet. No excuse for carbohydrates outside exercise.
