Any thoughts on enhanced Muscle gains while on Reta?

[pcf]

If you keep protein up, is it possible to gain muscle on Reta? I’ve heard the slowing of digestion hurts muscle growth…

Of course it's possible.

However. The slow digestion affects nutrient timing (Pre/Post Workout), but the worst effect IMO from the slow gastric emptying is the large volume of food that stays in your stomach for extended periods of time which my increase (stretch) waist size in some. Also, you want true hunger signals in a surplus as that is one of the main factors in when to add more calories.
