Otherwise, low-carb is probably best, particularly if you're trying to lose weight.
I do know that you need carbohydrates to burn fat in a healthy way
Do you?
Endurance athletes perform significantly better on keto or paleo diets
Interesting. Source?
By "perform better" I mean you can exercise for much longer without refueling, so you go from sucking down sugar gel every hour to burning your own stored fat, which frees you up to focus on your sport.

I am trying to gain weight and I find it extremely difficult to hit 3000 calories a day. I'm eating a lot of red meat and I feel full constantly. I do seem to have a lot more energy though so that's good.
@Der Seeteufel - SD My brother has been eating up to 5000 calories a day; I think he's gained at least 30 lbs so far. His method involves not actually enjoying food so much as forcing down the most calorie dense items possible, which are fats. Heavy cream or half&half, coconut oil, butter, avocados. If you can find a way to make whole sticks of butter palatable, you're on your way. (He's on the national server as @Sean- CA; if you DM him for some advice I'm sure he'd love to help.)
@Der Seeteufel - SD When I started I weighed 135 lbs and couldn't eat worth a damn, ended up buying Optimum Nutrition mass gainer powder in order to just drink my calories. I imagine everyone here is gonna give you grief about "noooo get it from whole foods" which granted, is preferable, but if you have too much trouble getting that many calories from normal food alone, the shakes are the way to go.
^ blend up that powder with heavy cream and gain weight in no time!
I've been doing paleo/keto-type nutrition for about seven years. I'm not as good with my greens as I should be, but I can eat as much as I want. It keeps me pretty slim, though I run a good amount. My digestive system loves it. If I go too strict, I tend to find I can't consume enough animal fats to keep me going and I get too thin.
Anyone have any probiotic recommendations? Considering trying one for a month or so to see if it helps with my IBS.
Kefir and skyr.

Thank you!
Filmjölk as well
I use MyFitnessPal
Is it free?
Yes
Just started taking creatine along with getting back in the gym. Any personal stories on its efficacy?
i took it for awhile, kind of a hassle for me
didn't notice too much of anything
maybe it helped idk
it was creatine monohydrate in powder form
shitty flavor too 🤢
Creatine works
One of the only scientifically proven supplements other than vitamin D
i see it like this, if it worked well, itd be banned
though i have seen the science of it, it's still not THAT great
Creatine is great, noticable difference in strength if you are supplementing it correctly.
If you aren’t noticing after 6 weeks stop and see if there’s a drop off. If nothing changes up dose to 10g monohydrate
If nothing after 10g then you’re a non responder sadly
Does anyone here find Bcaa's to be effective?
For intraworkout I notice faster recovery from sets if I'm sipping some bcaas
But you can get the same benefit from sipping a protein shake during your workout
Anyone have experience with the Kato Diet in here?
