Does low-carb and low insulin equal low muscle mass?  It’s true that insulin is anabolic.   What is anabolic? Anabolic is a condition where your body is building up muscle proteins.   The reason bodybuilders do carbo-loading is not to build muscle. It’s to build glycogen. The problem is that when you start spiking insulin, you’re going to create insulin resistance. Insulin resistance means that your insulin is not working like it should. One of the purposes of insulin is to absorb amino acids because it’s anabolic. But, if you have insulin resistance, you’re not going to absorb the amino acids that well.   When you do low-carb or keto you and intermittent fasting:  • Improve insulin resistance  • Improve insulin sensitivity  • Start to absorb amino acids and proteins   Also, when you do keto and intermittent fasting, you trigger something called protein sparing. In other words, your muscles are now protected against the loss of protein.   I highly recommend that you decrease your carbs and do intermittent fasting if you want to improve your muscle mass.   A few more things you can do to help build muscle mass:   • Add exercise (weights and higher-volume to the point where your muscles are sore)  • Keep your carbs at 50-60 grams per day (don’t do high-carb)  • Higher dietary protein (8-9 oz. of protein per meal—whole eggs, meat, and fish)  • A good complete amino acid supplement     Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, 56 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
