Training Comments.
Workout today went really well for the most part I think. Push presses really hit delts hard and had to clean the weight up for every set of 4 so I think my traps actually got a good workout too. Definitely hit delts hard.. Calf raises hit calves pretty hard too. Good burn and an okay pump conisidering how low my carbs have been lately. Lying ext. really torched my triceps all the way. Good burn and great feeling of total exuastion in the entire triceps complex.

Training Length.
Worked lasted around 45 minutes today.

Water.
Took in a pretty good amount of water today.. need to keep it up and stay hydrated!

I wish I can go to a local bookstore and check one out, but I'll have trouble understanding it because it'll probably be in French.

Years back when I was doing research of personal experiences on low carb diets, some came back with me with a min of 75g of carb. How low is your keto diet?

Anyhow, it's good to read on opposite views of a certain subject. I will ask the resident nutritionist (MD) about it.

I probably didn't do it right when I did my low carb diet. Are using the ketostix to test urine. I think I still have some in the bathroom

Poohbear,
I started out at round 50gm. per day, with periodic carb ups, and I felt great in terms of general well-being, focus, etc. Unfortunately, as a powerlifter, it wasn't quite enough to get me through my workouts. However, I then switched to a TKD in which i ingest 30-50 gms. of carbs pre and post workout for a grand total of about 100-125 gms. on workout days and 30-60 on non-wkt. days, and my workouts have been fantastic.
I generally distrust doctors when it comes to advice on nutrition, because all too often all they know is the crap that is printed in dated textbooks, which most Americans blindly accept as fact, despite the fact that most current research is refuting it. Nevertheless, I highly advocate this diet, but if I said it was THE only diet to follow, I be just as full of shi!! as the FDA. It takes a good bit of tweaking and fine tuning to get right, but when you do it feels great. That's why I never recommend the diet without recommending Faigan's book or Protein Power by Eades. If you half-ass the diet or go into it poorly or misinformed then you are destined to fail. Your'e attitude of an open minded skeptic the right one to have, unfortunately most are rather close minded regardless of what side of the debate they stand. Good Luck!!!
