[QUOTE]Originally posted by phil a: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by triple b: [qb] lol ok you can type till your finger are blue your body is either catabolic with less than enough cals to supply the enegy for daily activities or anabolic with more than the amount needed lol cant beat science bud i do t believe i nor ever will you cant build anabolic muscle while being in a catabolic state lol even if you were on steroids you would not be able to do it! lol [/qb][/QUOTE]Growth hormone actually mobilizes fat (adipose tissue) into free fatty acids and then ketones (ketogenesis) which essentially allows the body to use fat as an energy source. At the same time, GH also increases protein synthesis, RNA/DNA synthesis. So you can burn fat while building muscle. Steroids, in essence, basically act to the same effect in the body. Anabolism vs catabolism in muscle is not necessarily just calorically-based, but it is definitely easier to eat a ton of food, workout like crazy, then cut off the excess weight. Not too sure about a no/low-carb diet, as you'll need to have some carbs (stored as glycogen in muscle) to be able to sustain exertion. Good luck OP. Like n8 was suggesting, keep your diet clean, cut back on late-night eating (hard to do sometimes), and keep at the cardio 3-4x/week. If you want to lose weight, another thing to remember is that ~3500cal = 1lb of body weight lost, so, if you are calorically-deficient by 500cal/day, you will lose 1lb by the end of the week. May not be what you're looking to do, but it's a neat trick to remember. [/QB][/QUOTE]
