i hate it but the only way that i can get ripped is on ketosis, 0-20 carbs a day...

Ketosis offers a marginal metabolic advantage.. But this is soon decreased when t3 goes down..
I'll bet if you eat your weight times 10 in calories you will get as ripped as you ever want to be.. pretty much regardless of the amount of carbs you eat.

Re: I have to disagree....
Rice has more nutritional value than doughnuts.. But as far as gaining/losing goes, 100 grams of carbs is 100g of carbs, regardless of where it came from..
Your body will break down the starch from rice into glucose. It will break down the sugar from doughnuts into glucose and fructose. When these sugars get into your blood, it's not like your cells say "hmm.. this glucose molecule came from doughnuts.. Let's store it as fat.."
Your cells cannot tell the difference between macronutrients that come from soda and doughnuts versus rice..
So if you eat x grams of carbs/day, it DOES NOT MATTER where they came from- as far as gaining/losing weight goes.

I'd take that bet in a heartbeat.
All I know is I keep my calories about the same and all I have to do to cut down to about 7% bf is lower carbs and up protein and cardio. Cutting now at 100 carbs a day. I will be at 7% bf in 8 weeks. Bank on it. I do it every year.

well i weigh 226lbs w/clothes so im guessing im around 210lbs. so this gives me a total of 2100g of cals to eat. i'll be taking 1g of pro per lbs. so that'll make it 210g. this will give me a total of 840 cals for protein. 250g of carbs is 1000cals. this leaves me with 260cals left. should i add all of them to fat or spread them to fat, carbs and protein?

It really doesn't matter.. Do whatever makes you feel like you have higher energy leves. Some can't function on low carbs, some can't function on high carbs.. Find your happy medium.
You will get "more" out of your AAS (if you are using them) if you eat more carbs though.

This is so highly individual. Like jc21 I start shedding bodyfat at 5000cals a day. Andy13 summed it up in that all that matters is calories in vs. calories out. Use more calories than you consume and your bodyweight will drop. The hard part for those of use with excess muscle is manipulating where that drop in bodyweight comes from. We wnat to loose all fat, but human physiology simply isn't set up to carry around as much muscle as most of us do so the net result is a loss in both adipose and muscle tissue. The goal is to loose predominately more fat than lean body mass and through dietary strategies we can do this. The problem lies in the fact that everyone has a different strategy and different needs to manipulate the body while loosing bodyfat. I myself cannot train with any intensity or retain mass on low carbs(less than 300g day). Some people tear through a workout at 50g a day and loose very little muscle mass. The key is to control blood glucose levels and thus ultimately control insulin and glucogon levles. Those whom have very good insulin sensitivity will be able to consume more carbs than someone with poorer sensitivity to the hormone. That is only one of a million factors, but it highlights the discrepencies among individuals. Anyone who weight trains intensly will have a greater sensitivity to insulin than they would had they been sedentary and generally speaking they are better off in this regard than most of the population. This environment, however, is still reliant on genetic factors and this creates the variancies in peoples approaches to dieting. You could litterally start a war between no carb/low carb proponents and proponents of a more balanced approach including carbs.
