The ketogenic diet explained for beginners

[semper03]

Any way of knowing how long it takes to drop just a couple % BF once the body is definitely in ketosis or does it vary person to person. I'm 6' @ 200 lbs and powerlift 3 days a week and do accessories on the other days with sprint interval training.

It's going to vary from person to person as how strict the run their diet. I dropped from 14 to 10 in two months.

One big thing I caution all people using a keto diet is when you add carbs back in near stage 3 and 4 do it very very gradually. Don't just jump into a big ass bowl of pasta and pizza or you'll have a carb rebound. This happened to me the first time I used this diet and had to start from day one again. Going through hell for the second time wasn't much fun.

Can one " jump start" entering ketosis by using igf and gw 501516?

I'm actually not a SARM guy so I couldn't tell you how they would affect your ketosis. I just started an ostarine only cycle just to see how well this stuff works stand alone but once again I'm not in Ketosis.

Unlikely, if anything you'll put your body out of whack with this formula. I've tested insulin for a ketogenic jump, but it's not something I'd recommend (dangerous).

First couple days I've used igf now with only bcaas. Felt funny the first 2 days but now I feel like I don't need any carbs all day. I still eat a ton of green veggies but I don't count those

IGF-1 can play with your blood sugar levels, which can be very helpful and, at the same time, dangerous on a low-carb diet (even deadly if done wrong or poor quality is use); overall, I wouldn't suggest to most dieters without using a glucose meter very frequently to measure blood sugar levels.

Ok thx for the reply wolf, I'd have to say my energy seems through the roof for not having any carbs in my system compared to usual. I think ill go pickup a glucose meter today

I'm on day 3 and I feel like I have more energy than yesterday. I miscounted carbs yesterday though and ended up w/ 38 but, I still feel like my body is transitioning to burning fat for energy. i feel like I'm looking a little flat though but less bloated. Thanks man.

Semper, I should be counting carbs, proteins, and fats right buddy? Not stressing about calorie intake ?

You still need to watch your cals too. I keep mine around 2750 ok ketosis. Every meal you have should be nothing but tuna, cheese, chicken,
Beef, You'll know you're in ketosis when you start pissing non stop. Take progress pics or you won't see Any changes.
