Ketogenic Diet

[Tweakle]

It's like using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut, getting to 10% shouldn't require extreme measures (like a fullblown keto diet) unless you're impatient ... and impatience in dieting almost always means losing more muscle than you should.

I don't disagree the 'atkins' approach is fine for the regular overweight person who's unconcerned with performance, but strength will take a hit when there's nothing in the tank. My strength was in the toilet when I tried 5 day delepetes, and I could not focus in the gym enough to 'bring it'.. on a generous serving of tren & 60mg ephi preworkout too

imo doing it (slightly) slower with a half day carb cut off ala DC (and carbs after training) plus cardio should be really all he needs to get to a respectable bf%, and maintain strength.. but then that might not matter at all to him in which case I'll shut up

I def. see what you are saying but at the moment I am trying to just get a bit more ripped. I dont think I would stay on this diet very long ( a month or so) just to get rid of some extra unwnated bf. After that once the summer is ending I plan on hitting it strong and focusing on strength (5x5). Also Im not a volleyball player but an ultimate frisbee player but thanks for looking out anyways buddy!!!
