Luis is the founder of Ketogains, a website that helps people achieve an optimal body recomposition through a ketogenic diet and fine-tune their diet to reach their health goals. 

He has been powerlifting and strength training on a keto diet for years, so he's living proof you don't need to load up on carbs to grow.
