It may be possible to put on a few pounds of muscle mass while on a CKD/TKD...but it is very unlikely. The purpose of these diets is to maintain muscle mass (not increase it) while stripping away body-fat.

This is true. This time around on the CKD, I have lost 15.3 lbs of fat and gained 1.3 lbs. lean mass ... All in all a success, and I am not done yet. I am running a CKD until the end of August.
Since last year at this time (following a bulk-and-cut), I have added 17.3 lbs. lean mass, and lost 5 lbs. of fat. So, I have become bigger and leaner .... again, when the final results are in at the end of August I wil have a clearer picture.
But what Zeus said is on the mark. Any ketogenic diet is a way for you to maintain muscle mass while stripping away fat.
To build, you will need to take in a slight excess of calories. Your body will need the raw materials to build muscle, right? It can't build anything if you are eating at or just below maintenance. |
