No. A calorie surplus makes you fat, not carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates provide energy for training and are essential.

Better 80% optimal nutrition every day than 100% one week and 50% the next. Consistency is the key to long-term results.
What works for your training partner will not necessarily work for you. Genetics, microbiota, hormones — everything is individual.
Do not rely on the scale alone. Measure body circumferences, track strength indicators, and take progress photos every 4 weeks.
