He begins to lift weights and finds online advice suggesting he needs to eat big to be big, and that he needs massive …
If I had any Faithful Readers, they would know I've been doing some form of ketogenic dieting for the better part of 4 years. I started with a cyclical ketogenic diet, which entailed ultra-low carb dieting during the week (less than 30 grams of net carbs per day), followed by a carbohydrate load of some …
