I did a zero carb diet for 3 months, and then a LOW (20grams or less / week) for a nother 5 mo.. I did this and went from 275 to 180.. now dont get me wrong i lost a ton of muscle, but a TON of fat.. Im now (after 6mo. of traditional mod carb low fat hi protien diet, and tons of lifting and mod. cardio (15mi/week running) 190 and 14% b.f. - and while i did the zero/low carb stuff i didnt do a thing, I just sat on my butt!
BTW- this is my first post on elitefitness, but ive got to say there are some smart people that post some stuff on here!
