i'm into fitness/muscles, all that sort of thing and i've been more or less following a starch based diet for the past 7 years (strangely enough, mostly just because that's what i wanted to eat, not based on any medical opinion) and also havent had any animal products in that time (and about 7 years prior to that of not consuming meat, eggs, fish, or straight dairy products... would eat cheese or things with animal products in them such as say, a curry with cream in it)
anyway, i'm 23 now, and been in and out of weight lifting for a few years now, i have experimented with following a high protein diet, but it's just really not pleasant, not that cheap, and the only way to follow it is using isolated protein from peas, rice, or soy... never really managed to follow that for more than a month at a time
anyway, i have seen some good strength gains following a starch based... more or less low fat diet (i used to eat some overt fats, not too much, but i have cut them out almost totally since reading about the health effects of using them) and i want to know... are there any objective studies comparing some variable like... strength gain or endurance on a high carb diet vs a high protein diet over time?
with the protein dogma so saturating information on the subject, it would seem there would have to be some science on it?
i would so like to have a graph, or a study i could read, and refer to showing the effects of a protein/carb rich diet on muscle development over time... does anything like this exist at all? broscience isnt worth a whole lot i think lol
what do you guys think?
