You need the insulin rush & glycogen for both recovery, muscle building, energy and hormonal functions. I'm about 5 days in on carb nite solution, so I'm going to give the cyclical keto diet a try for a bit to try to get down to just under 220.

I understand that. I just have a hard time rationalizing that eating 500 calories more per day can actually be beneficial in my weight loss. That is why I am wondering if what I am reading is correct.
My other thing is... is my current diet detrimental to my lean muscle mass?
