I'm Changing my high protein low carb diet to the complete opposite after reading the following postd by Markus R. One of Mentzers Clients. After doing this High carb diet i feel more full satisfied and vascular.
"Mike trained me prior to a contest in 1997 where I competed as a Heavyweight. I was about 8 weeks out and doing low carbs and high protein - I did not tell Mike about that because I did not wanna piss him off since I knew his stand on it - lol - another 2-3 weeks past and my bodyfat did not really change a whole lot - my progress kinda slowed down and I felt flat and had a soft appearance to my skin. So I got nervous and told Mike that I was doing all this protein, he looked at me and ask me why ? - I always remember him telling me that carbohydrates are like dry logs, when thrown into a fire the fire burns hotter - add protein and its like adding wet logs to it...the fire goes out - as in the fat burning slows down.
So I decide to just let him guide me on the diet for the last 4 weeks before my big appearance...now here comes the crazy thing...
Mike tells me to drop my protein to no more then 80-100 grams a day total! - I thought he was nuts..but I decided to try it. He had me eat mostly carbs at this point. maybe around 400-500 grams per day! (on a diet!) - the fats stayed very low of course but I was finally be able to enjoy brown rice, pasta and yams again (love yams!) - the results of this "diet switch" were veins running down my legs and abs that looked like out of a anatomy chart - my bodyfat dropped so low I could not regnonize myself - my muscles got even stronger and fuller then in the offseason before the diet.
This was the best I have ever looked in my life and I WILL NEVER got back to low carb dieting again before a contest. I wish I would've listen to Mike the years prior to that - I F***ed up so many shows its not even funny." - Markus R.
