Just looking for people who have tried it. What's your opinion? Did it work like you wanted it to? Did your energy levels stay up from the low carbs?
Ketosis diet thoughts
- Thread starter themondtster
- Start date
Opinion; great, but if you're on it for the right reasons, i.e. it's not for bulking
I've done keto 3 separate times (right now being the 3rd) and yes it worked like I wanted it to all 3 times
No problem with energy
VERY IMPORTANT: keto foods are more filling, you MUST adjust your portion size accordingly. If not you could easily find yourself over eating >>> your body not digesting food >>> holding fat

Thats what I was wondering also. Diet wise I looked at some the sample diets that the doctor's suggest for their epileptic patients to promote Ketosis. They are heavy in saturated and trans fats. That would be my only worry. Im assuming from a bodybuilding/aesthetics point it would more unsaturated fats like nuts and fruits and oils.
Also the doctor's samples were all around 70-60 fats 30-40 proteins. With a small percentage carbs from mainly vegetables.
My target % is 65/5/30 Fat/Carbs/Protein
I eat a lot of eggs, 2 avocados every day, sliced pepperoni as a snack, Kobe beef (higher fat content)
I recommend keeping track of what you eat every day, I have an excel spreadsheet and I fill in the blanks every day

Sounds like a great idea. I need to cut down on carbs.

As in is it better to wait till you are low BF to the last few %s or good to do whenever?
I guess it did kind of come off wrong.

About to give a try. Downloaded an ebook with recipes to keep it interesting. But mainly have meats, fish, nuts, avocados, oils, etc. already on hand.
I had trouble finding literature on what happens and how long when you break ketosis until you're back into. Also need to a testing kit I guess.
I did the keto diet last summer while trying to get in shape for a cruise. I did the diet for 2 months and in that time lost about 30 pounds. My body fat went from 13% to 6.5%. I was also able to maintain most of my muscle mass throughout the whole diet. During the diet my workouts consisted of heavy weight and low rep exercises so that I would fully utilize all my muscle in order to not lose any. Overall, the diet is very restrict but you get the same results in a month or two as you would get from 6 months + of "low calorie high cardio" diets...which I hate.

Sorry I forgot to mention the energy, the first 4-7 days you will feel very tired and sluggish as your body has very little energy and it is trying to switch from carbohydrate metabolism to fat metabolism. However, as soon as your body adjusts and starts utilizing fat for its metabolic purposes you will feel very energized. Your body will literally feed on its fat reserves all day. So whenever you're not eating/digesting food, your body eats it's own fat.

13 to 6.5 in 2 months ? Sorry but I don't believe that one bit.. I have done keto before and I think it's cool to try depending on your goals. Myfitnesspal is a good app to start off with beginning Keto for sure so you can draw a baseline of your total cals and macros..
First week - 10 days are an adjustment phase obviously in the absence of carbs and you will drop a shit load of water weight during that period so don't let it confuse you, obviously losing "weight" means nothing..
There are also a few variations to the Keto diet. At some point you will not be able to lift with the same energy and intensity I dont give a shit what anyone says, but if you lift like a bitch and do moderate LISS you will probably be fine.. What are your goals because I lift very hard and I would certainly go back and change some shit when I did start Keto because although I lost some weight I definitely lost some LBM.
CKD; done and done.
Keto Sunday through Thursday; carb up on Friday & Saturday......worked great for me.
