Hello fellow Carb nite users! I've been on this for about a month now and I've seen my belly droop down as it deflates. I'm 5,11 259 lbs I lift heavy at the gym Deadlifts squats ect. And I'm a Scottish Heavy Games Athlete. So I have some questions:sorry if these have been answered please be understanding.1. I've lost weight at the beginning about 10 lbs. but I've also gained weight too. I've hit deadlift PR while on carb Nite. Is it possible to gain muscle mass while on this diet?2. Eggs, people say avoid eating eggs. Is this by them selves or can I eat them with a fat source like Coconut oil?3. I also hear that plant based fats can be stored as fat more easily. I eat an avocado a day, four tea spoons of almond butter and put coconut oil in my Isopure shakes.4. I take on average 2 (one in the morning the other before bed) servings of Isopure a day 3 if I throw or work out. I also take Creatine as well. Is this ok or should I change this?5. I notice a sweet taste in my mouth now and then, it gets really intense when I have not eaten in a while or when I'm using a lot of energy like at the gym or work or throwing. Is this normal?Average daily dietMorning: 4 whole Eggs, one and a half tables spoons of coconut oil and Isopure with creatine.Snack: Almond butter and half an avocado Or pork rinds.Lunch: Bison burger or pork or Chicken legs and thighs or some sorta sausage and the other half of the avocado.Snack: Almond butter or pork rinds or sardines in olive oil.Dinner: two chicken legs and two chicken thighs or salmon or white fish.Snack: Isopure before bed.That's it for now if I remember any more ill let ya guys know! Thanks a head of time!
I'm curious about gaining muscle on this diet as well. I want to primarily lose bf, but I love muscle. I was reading a post earlier about supplementing with whey isolates, creatine, leucine on CNS for muscle gain. Breakfast items/recipes in the CNS book include eggs!
Apologize, I should have read your post more thoroughly- you do use isopure and creatine. I'd say that is certainly beneficial!

Is it possible to gain muscle mass while on this diet?That's not the goal of CNS, however if you are a complete new trainee, you can gain on most diet plans in general just because the stimulus is new. The goal is fat loss though - you would def recomp too2. Eggs, people say avoid eating eggs. Is this by them selves or can I eat them with a fat source like Coconut oil?You just have to watch out - too many eggs could potentially create a spike due to the Leucine content. 3. I also hear that plant based fats can be stored as fat more easily. I eat an avocado a day, four tea spoons of almond butter and put coconut oil in my Isopure shakes.Plants fats are not OPTIMAL - I think almonds are ok in moderation. Coconut oil is ok - not in your post workout shake though4. I take on average 2 (one in the morning the other before bed) servings of Isopure a day 3 if I throw or work out. I also take Creatine as well. Is this ok or should I change this? Creatine is def. okay - search the forums for more info5. I notice a sweet taste in my mouth now and then, it gets really intense when I have not eaten in a while or when I'm using a lot of energy like at the gym or work or throwing. Is this normal?possibly the withdrawals of not eating carbohydrates - not a big deal though - but if you're hungry you need to eat (ulc meal)Average daily dietMorning: 4 whole Eggs, one and a half tables spoons of coconut oil and Isopure with creatine.PROTEIN POWDER is not optimal - save this for only Post-trainingSnack: Almond butter and half an avocado Or pork rinds.Lunch: Bison burger or pork or Chicken legs and thighs or some sorta sausage and the other half of the avocado.Snack: Almond butter or pork rinds or sardines in olive oil.Dinner: two chicken legs and two chicken thighs or salmon or white fish.Snack: Isopure before bed. (this will spike insulin - replace with Protein/fat )That's it for now if I remember any more ill let ya guys know! Thanks a head of time!

CNS is more of fat loss goal oriented - to want to gain muscle on CNS is counter-intuitive. This is why CBL exists!If you are a completely new trainee and never worked out before... i'm sure you will make gains because you have no previous stimulus - once you introduce some mechanical tension the body will use macros differently. And this also means you need to eat MORE so you don't accrue a large calorie deficit. This is where a lot of ppl go wrong and don't eat enough. Its tricky.Cheers
So where else am I suppose to get the other fats from if not Avocados almonds and Coconut Oil? Someone told me dark meat chicken isn't a great choice health wise. Because I could just eat bacon and pork rinse all day.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

I also mentioned I'm a Strength athlete so the weight room isn't new. Just wondering because i'm eating all this fat and protein and lifting heavy I would imagine I would grow a little.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Coconut oil is a good choice. Ideally, the best choices are saturated fats.

No problem Saturated fat, from Animal, is typically the best and easiest IMO. Like BEEF - Not the super lean kind but the sirloin beef, ribeye, ground 80/20, ground pork, .... Also GRASS FED BUTTER like kerry gold and Almond butter is a REALLY GOOD source of fat and very easy/convenient. As far as muscle growth goes, it's really tough to gauge. Usually you are going to at least want to be eating maintanence calories to grow and lose fat, more or less, so it depends on the training stimulus too. Lots of factors here. I would start with getting the nutrition down and see how your training is affected and then tweak your training further to match your goals. You want to be sure diet is working so focus on that first. Look for recomposition

Basicallly, Saturated fat will be the best, followed by monounsaturated fats, mostly obtained through animal products. Poly unsaturated omega-3 is good, but you don't need tons. Either some supplementing or eating fatty fish a couple times a week should be good. Other sources of poly-unsaturated fats are most mostly avoided.
All right ill adjust the diet a bit and see how it goes! Body won't like not having a shake every day but it didn't like loading cards either. But my wallet will like it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

You likely need less protein then you think to maintain your muscle mass.
Ideas getting an average of 250-300 g a daySent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free
