Now we're on the same page, my friend.:D

This thread is been sillent for a month so i hope someone still responds... Am i getting this right, keto/Atkins/carbs down...whatever term is used is NOT good for bulking, but is ok as long as you are willing to stall for a while and RETAIN muscle...set me straight if this is wrong, please!

well atkins which is full keto without carb ups is generally catabolic
a ckd is catabolic but much less so due to teh weekend carbups
