I'm here in Low Carb Universe in Mayorka and I had the pleasure of listening earlier on today to an excellent talk by Louis Villasenor.

Yes. Great to meet you, Louis. Likewise you were. Yeah, I think we met last year in San Diego briefly.

Yeah, briefly. But I really enjoyed getting to hear your talk. Yeah, with Jeff Gerber. Oh, good old Jeff Gerber, yeah.

Shout out to Jeff there.

So, oh, today's talk was fantastic because I'm into low carb and keto to a point and fasting and all this stuff and the science.

But I'm not really so much into exercise and muscle building. However, I found it fascinating today that you completely debunk the myth

that you need carbohydrate to raise insulin to help with anabolic muscle building.

So maybe we could talk a little around that, around some of the key points as to why that's a myth. Well, here's the deal.

Normally in Kedoland, or in the local communities, we have this belief first that protein has to be kept within a certain range

because protein is, you know, turns into glucose or as some people say into chocolate

cake which sadly is not true otherwise well it will be incredible but also among

fitness communities there is a lot of keto hate mainly because a lot of people are doing it

misguided in a way or you know are

chasing fat bombs and so on which it's very much because of again a little bit

of misinformation so when people say that it's not possible to build muscle

and keto well I know that's not possible to build muscle on keto, well, I know that it's not

true mainly because I've done it myself for the last 23 years.

I've been on ketosis for the last 19 years.

I've been strength training for 23.

And yeah, I started training not on on keto but I built basically all my physique

while following a ketogenic diet.

So we have to understand that the main driver for muscle building is of course strength training.
