Actually, the real reason bodybuilders on low carbs worry is because their lifts don't keep going up or even staying the same, which is why they go on low carb diets for a short period just to get that "ripped" look.

listen we are all arguing about the same thing.. all im saying is your brain needs a small amount of glucose, so do your muscles... EVERYDAY! if you do not provide that glucose one way or another, your body will convert dietary protein, then muscle protein, into the glucose it needs.
im all with you guys, im also a low carber, im 60% fat, 30-35% protein, and 5% carbs..
i eat about 200 calories of carbs a day, about 2000 calories from fat, then 1000 calories from protein.. something like that
i found out when i added the 200-300 calories of carbs a day, it was little so my body still burned fat for energy, but it made a huge difference.. i stopped being foggy brained, weak, my muscles looked fuller, i had more energy, and i was still lean as fuck..
people keep forgetting the body is a machine.. if you get "thrown out of ketosis", but subsequently end up feeding your body only fat/protein the next day, what do u think it'll burn?? the fat! the body burns whatever you feed it.. you dont have to struggle and pee on keto sticks to keep your body burning fat... just feed it a little carb and MAX out the fat, and it'll burn it..
ive researched done keto/low carb for over a year now.. so im not just pulling shit out of my ass..
i was on keto for 3 months, i felt weak, my brain felt foggy, then i started eating some baked sweet potatoes everyday.. around 200-300 calories worth.. i felt 10000 times better.. i had more energy.. i didnt have to refeed or any of that.. and i looked great..
do you think our ancestors had to do carb up days after chasing a wild rabbit in the forest?? nah man.. i try to eat like our ancestors ate.. they valued the marrow/fat/organs of animals..
so i eat a lot of fat, some protein, and some carbs... problem is our ancestors had wild fruits/berries, not the modified bananas/apples full of sugar we have now.. the wild fruits had a LOT less sugar...
