I look better, improved CBC and lipids taking in copious dietary fats and low to as low as I can carbs. Carbs, especially high glycemic wreck my cholesterol faster than anything.

3.3.

The ketogenic group appears to have slightly lower red blood cell (RBC) counts, significantly lower hemoglobin, and hematocrit, as well as significantly smaller mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) indices.

Even in the off season, my carbs never go higher than 250 grams a day. I found no benefit from running higher carbs.

I just push the protein up to 400 grams a day.
