Diet

What's the best diet for bodybuilding. I imagine low carb, but what about the cycling ketogenic diet? Basically it's no carb from sun morning to Fri night, then you "carb up" from Fri night to sat night. During the period you are allowed to eat what you want. EG pizza and beer is OK.

To me this sounds like a good diet cos you have Fri sat night to enjoy as you like but almost six days of low carb.

Do you thing this would be ok to do to cut?

Best diet for bodybuilding is balanced diet with healthy proportion of carbs, protein, and fat - it's ok to limit carb intake to some reasonable levels, but no carbs diets are bs and they are not very good for your health and they are not sustainable on the long run
When I was on low carb diet I felt like shit, lethargic and energy drained - so never more for me, thank you

There is no best diet for anything. Even if there was one, you wouldn't have to follow it super strictly to gain most of the benefits it can offer. Very often diets turn into cults defended by their creators and followers who never stop juggling with biased studies.

In general, the most important part of any diet is to limit the technological food that's everywhere these days in the form of fast carbs and bad fats. That move alone will give you most of the profit that healthy eating can offer.

I personally don't like high carb diets based around rice, pasta and oatmeal. I found them unnatural. However, I also don't sympathize with the zero carb maniacs.

Thing is a "balanced diet" is just as difficult to maintain as a low carb diet in my opinion. I would say more so actually. It's the allure of junk that gets in the way.

As a natty, I think diet is way more important than training. That said, I was in my best shape when I was snorting cocaine and not eating. The trick is to keep your calories low and I find the best way to do that is by limiting carbs.

I eat meat , fish, fruits and veg and have refeeds every month then eat what ever I want,balance it out . Also btw cavemen were all super healthy because they did not have the technically foods . To me caveman hade best diet because they were working with nature.

It's good to know that you also should avoid oil/fats with too much omega 6 fatty acids who are linked to inflammatory processes in our body - we are talking about sunflower and soybean oil which are typically loaded in commercial pastries, cakes, sweets etc

Use olive oil instead, It's much more healthier and also taste great!
I ate canned tuna only about 2x a week, these ones are in soybean oil, but they are much cheaper than tuna in brine
I drain the oil ofc
I guess not much harm there, but - if you eat tuna like that every day, that's another, sad story

slightly under your daily calorie needs....about 100g protein.
That's it

It shouldn't be complicated. If it is in a wraper, box, paper, container...it's probably not good for you.
