I live in Korea, eat white rice all day and am ripped to the bone.

Key = Train hard

Carbohydrates are absolutely necessary for hard training. Don't be lazy.

ì?­ì?? ì?¬ë??ì?? ë°¥ì?? 먹ì?´ì?¼ì§?! Don't forget this saying.

 Also a problem with replacing your main energy intake of carbs with protein is that you're putting your liver under undo stress as the protein is converted to glucose. Protein doesn't like being made into glucose. ì??ì??ì?´ì???

Hope this helps.
