I've been doing the keto diet for 1 week now and have been in ketosis since 3 days ago, I wanted to carb up this upcoming wednesday but i might wait till the weekend to do it right. concentration is good, energy is okay. haven't missed a workout yet. any input is helpful

Zero idea. Stevesmi might know
how do you know you are in keto? the truth is you aren't really in keto
if you are doing a keto diet correctly though you are spiking your glucagon and lowering your insulin so that is good.
also are you really doing a keto diet? sounds to me you are simply doing a no carb diet and then carbing up to 'fire up your metabolism' this is the similar strategy of IIFYM or cheat meal eating. it is a classic way to spin your wheels forever

If I was doing keto I wouldnt do a carb up day. To me that defeats the purpose.
