I am a nature bodybuilder and starting a contest prep for April. We all know as we get older it is harder and harder to lose fat so this time, I was going to try something different. Instead of dieting with macros and dropping calories I am going to try to do the lion diet and get into deep ketosis to force my body to burn fat.

    I'm quite familiar with the carnivore and the lion diet brought to us by Mikala Peterson and I've been Keto for quite a while but any diet can do what you propose and especially one that is higher in protein.

    There are no RCT's (studies) on pretty much anything carnivore but antidotally from the general population that aren't body builders or people that work out much find losing weight pretty easy, a given actually and quite a few also saw increased muscle mass, now that could be simply a diet that was previously pretty low in protein, but nevertheless it is a common theme. I would suggest your consumption of protein be high in the context of a carnivore diet. Good luck. :)

    Jonathan Griffiths is a carnivore bodybuilder from the UK, I believe and has a good podcast I have been listen to, and Robert Sikes is a natural bodybuilder who is also a user of keto diet to stay in shape and cut. If anyone else wants to check them out

    There is no backdoor shortcut into burning stored fat it’s gonna come down to your calories so unless keto causes you to eat fewer calories there’s no sense in doing that plus most people have a very hard time with energy levels doing those diets and if your contest prepping you need energy for your training so I would rethink things before you jump into it
