“Go into deficit and then you lose weight. Hit enough protein so make sure you retain and build your muscle because we want to improve your body composition. And that's how you do it. You just keep the carbs high, there's no need to empty the tank. Because if you empty it, fill it up, empty it, fill it up, you're gonna see so many massive fluctuations in your weight.” - Maxime Sigouin

While going keto had been a trend, looking into the scientific aspect reveals its unsustainability. Yes, it is possible to be healthy and even lost more fat while having a high-carb diet.

Key Quotes

“It is not carbohydrates as a whole that makes you fat. It's, first of all, some of the sources in which those carbohydrates come in… The source of the carbohydrate makes a tremendous difference on the impact that it's going to have on your health.” - Maxime Sigouin

“They [people in keto diet] think, oh my god, carbohydrates made me gain four pounds. Carbohydrates are making me fat. It's not fat that you put on. It's glycogen. We're just restocking your tank.” - Maxime Sigouin
