Having a hard time getting past trace ketosis after refeed...

-Steak. You can always add extra olive oil or other fats to get to a 2 to 1 ratio
-Macadamia nutts. They only have 3 grams of protien per 1/4 cup, 23 grams of fat per 1/4 cup. Only 1.8 grams of absorbable carbs. Walnutts are almost as good.
-cheese, you can easily get cheese with 9 grams of fat and 7 grams of protien per serving. A handful of nutts with it can get you there. Or youc an make a salid with it and cover it in olive oil.

What type of intensity?

between light to moderate.

*exclamer* Subjective information..

What type of intensity?

I say about 80-90% MHR (maximum heart rate) for about 10-20 minutes. You should be excercising multiple times throughout the day, evenly spaced and timed with meals if possible.

Why?

Your primary objective is to burn off the glycogen in your liver. After this is accomplished your body will be able to go into ketosis..

..The higher the intensity the more the body prefers glycogen as its source of energy (as opposed to fat) and the quicker you'll deplete these levels and go into ketosis. A shorter excercise duration will allow the body to use a higher percentage of glycogen as opposed to fat as its energy source. This is because when you excercise for a short time the body can't slip into its fat-burning mode that it likes to do when you go for a long duration.

..So,.. if you were to be at rest, your body is burning 65-80% fat and 20-35% glycogen. And if you were to excercise at a running intensity (80-90% MHR) you would be burning about 90% glycogen and 10% fat.

I welcome your comments...
