2. A Low-Carb, High-Fat Diet
The low carb based diet involves eating natural, unprocessed foods, with a low carbohydrate content. This type of diet is the best option for people who want to lose weight, optimize their health and lower their risk of diseases. By reducing carbohydrate intake you will be impairing your performance in the gym as well as your body’s ability to build muscle. Adding fats can only lead to increase in testosterone levels, which will have no direct benefit in terms of building muscle.
