Feeling left out of the sammich threads since I'm doing a keto diet...

[Deleted member 33117]

a keto diet can be obtained while still eating carbs. I'd just take r-ala and it'd say in moderate to high ketosis (ketostix) while eating 30-40g carb meals. As long as you dont overdo the carbs, you should be able to stay in ketosis just fine. Go eat your sandwich aggie

Not a good idea chief. First of all the same effect can be obtained much cheaper by using a little insulin (1000 iu's of humalin-R cost $28 at walmart), however both methods offer the same draw back. You restoring too much muscle glycogen. This will reduce the fat burning effect slightly and will definately reduce the pronounced anabolic effect of the supercomensation of the carb loading phases of the diet. In other words, it makes it more difficult to make gains in lbm while on the diet. You do realize that done properly you gain lbm on such a diet right?

I've never gained weight on a keto diet, but I do drop a lot of fat and water. i keto'd for about 2 weeks not long ago and ended up losing about 35lbs (most of which is water i bet) but I dont eat enough calories on that diet to gain LBM.
