You are right: meatier hands don´t have the veins visible problem. I wish i had an extra layer of fat LoL.
Regarding your corcern first let me tell you, that I aware of the importance of protein intake (God preserve me from catabolic state ! ) It was so hard for me to won muscle on the butt and thight area, that every little muscle earn, I take it as a victory ( I feel like general Patton ).
So protein intake is under control, but when I eat less carbs always happens the same thing : very fast I lose 2 kilos in a week.
So I´ve returned to increase carbs intake again ( Is like my body always is trying to go back to my prior weight). Damn you, fast metabolism !
anyway when I wrote about heathy is has to do with this : http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/alkaline-foods-and-acid-foods-80-20-ratio.htm

Honestly, I cannot say that I know much about the importance of alkaline/acidic food balance. I have never had any of those acidosis symptoms, even when I have had days wherein it was difficult to have access to more alkaline foods than acidic foods. But I WILL say there is a truth to needing many servings of fruits and vegetables each day. No one should not be cutting back on their protein to help the balance; rather, they should be increasing their alkaline food intake to help achieve a balanced diet, while keeping their protein intake the same. And I know what you're thinking-- something along the lines of it being impossible to achieve, because that would just be waaaay too much food. This is true! I do not believe that anyone can meet all of their body's nutritional needs unless they stayed at home all day and focused almost entirely on their diet! I am also pretty sure that the amount of calories that it would take to get the amount of nutrition that your body needs on a daily basis isn't even healthy. This is why I believe in the use of supplements, because otherwise it would be impossible, and unhealthy.

And, as I am sure you know, carbs are necessary for a healthy diet. I know you cut it out because you wanted to cut back on your acidic intake, but two servings of healthy carbs per day is not going to hurt you. And when I say "healthy" I am sure you know I mean whole grain, unprocessed. Muscle primarily builds off of protein, but secondarily from calories. If you are going to cut back on the carbs, calculate approximately how many calories you were cutting out of your diet by cutting those carbs out, and then eat that many more calories in the form of alkaline foods. But do not cut carbs out completely!!

I hope that helps If you want any recommendations for healthy supplements targeted for making your diet a balanced one that meets all of your body's dietary needs, feel free to PM me I have some stuff that I really love!!

Thanks Tina one more time.
