Question about ketosis...

[GUARDIAN]

Guardian,

I am sick of my keto diet!! I have just over 3 weeks left on cycle.

Keto has worked well for me - im estimating my BF is down from 15% to about 11. Now I wanna maximise gains for the next month without adding fat.

Im thinking a low carbs (<150g, all low GI), moderate fat and high protein, with an ECA. Did you say this way the method you prefer?

well i try to stay under 100g if at all possible. i dont use ECA anymore though.

my current diet is nothing close to keto but i am doing a helluva lot more cardio to pull it off. i am now averaging

Cals Protein Carbs Fat
4730 436 349 171

Far from keto....lol.

The hardes thing about the keto diet for me is: I dont want to eat............

ill eat a 1/4 of a chicken/or a ny strip steak, with some spinach, maybe a piece of cheese( a slice or two of provolone). And some low carb beer. Dinner. I would lose weight faster if i cut out the 3.2 grams of carbs in each beer.

Lunch is usually a can of tuna with a little mayo..

Breakfast 2 eggs.

Im in deep ketosis........i test myself with theses strips twice a day. Morning and night..Im deeper in at night.

I have been dieting with keto for a few weeks now. I am finding it is the best way for me to lean out. I am female and 150pds I eat max 20g carbs/day. You are a lot bigger then me so I am sure you can handle more but keep the carbs to as low as you can and try to have the fat match the protein values.
I find that I still get hungry, after about 1.5 hrs of eating I want to eat again, but I eat every 3hrs. I have always had that sort of metabolism.
Good luck on the keto.

Peanut Butter Bro! Its Almost Essential. Its Easy To Eat, Tastes Good, Has 1000 Cals Ina Small Jar, Full Of Efa Fats And Full Of Protein. Only Get The Natural Stuff.

How Much Fat You Eating? Its Gotta Be Real High For A Decent Keto, Along With High Protein
