also eating the same thing all the time might cause you to get an intollerance to that particular food
and i'd be worried about the mercury you get from all that tuna day in day out

also fiber is so important. spinach has about 1 net carb per cup. calliflower about 1.5 nc per cup, broccolli about 2.3 nc per cup.
no potatoes/bread/pasta/beans/corn or anything else caloricly dense and nutrient deficient. and you will get your fiber, proper nutrients and save bundles of money on vitamins. in addition, your body uses nutrients from foods more efficiently than man made crap.
Limit your carbs to 20 grams a day and u will be in ketosis. Do not be afraid of dietary fat while in ketosis. without it ketosis will be impossible. So let go of the carb low fat nonsense that we were taught. Low carbs is the way to go!!!!!!!
And im not convinced that a carb up day is even worth it.
Iv been in ketosis for 2 months now, i have dropped 30 lbs, my muscle mass has increased. Im getting stronger each workout and the amount of weights im lifting has increased considerably.
excuse the spelling.

Yes, Dave Draper talks about it on his website and his book "Brother Iron, Sister Steel". It was a popular way of dieting back in the day of bodybuilding. Chicken, turkey, and other lean meats can be used in place of tuna but its basically a protein sparing modified fast (originally created by Dr Blackburn) or the stillman diet. Anyway, it is very effective for fast fat loss, only problem is long term adherance. Which is why i'm implementing a similar diet now but gradually increasing calories weekly as to turn it into a maintainable diet.
bds has some points about carbs being overrated, and some people can continue making progress w/ no carbs or carb ups. But it is not true that fat is needed in the diet to achieve ketosis. One can readily achieve ketosis just by cutting out carbs, fat does not need to be added. Ketosis can be achieved w/ a very low fat diet, just eat less than 100g carbs (the lower the deeper level of ketosis achieved), and don't overeat protein, presto, ketosis.
I actually find it amusing reading all these posts on this site and many others how people are eating super high fat diets w/ inadequate protein in order to be in deep ketosis, whereas eating protein is much more muscle sparing than ketosis is. Ketosis is irrelevent in the whole scheme of things and doesnt make fat loss any faster, once protein and efa needs are met, it all comes down to calories.

low carb 20 or less net carbs a day. you will notice fiber is counted as carbs on the food lables. do not count fiber as part of your carb allotment. Fiber does not hv an impact on blood sugar levels.
a high carb, high fat diet makes us fat. But a low carb/moderate fat/protein diet will put us in ketosis. i hv found the higher fat to protien ratio. the deeper i go into ketosis.
Drink plenty of water. and a 1 to 1 protein to fat ratio seems to work for me. once my protein intake exceeds my fat intake i slip out of ketosis.
there are a lot of contrary thoughts to this low carb approach. but im an eater so it works for me. i hv lost 30 plus pounds in 2 months. If you cant get past the high dietary fat intake issue. perhaps a more carb/protein, low fat diet is best for you.

try having your carbs around your workout... They will have little negative impact on you then - plus your workouts should be much better! - Good luck
