i'm currently on a keto diet, but now i decided to bulk again and was now interested if i could build muscles but still continue to burn body fat, or should i go back to a high carbs low fat diet? ------------------    | ||

FUCK NO!!!! Keto will get you nowhere for bulking! still get in high protein, but you should be eating at least 400-600 grams of carbs a day for a good bulking diet. ------------------  | ||

I disagree. Get a hold of me on my icq 45241274 I would like to discuss the use of ketogenic diets while bulking. Asia the Invincible. | ||

There's really a couple ways of going about this. 1st of all, YES, it is possible to bulk on a Keto Diet. Check out Dr. DiPasquale's Anabolic Diet, it's designed to put on size with little fat. It's a CKD like you've prob been doing. It works well for some but many have trouble eating enough calories from Beef and other Keto foods. Another way of doing it is doing a Zone-type diet. Dr. Eric Serrano, an DR. and expert on nutrition who talks at seminars with Charles Poliquin puts many bodybuilders on a 40%prot, 30%fat and 30% carbs when bulking, I'd set protein to at least 1.5g per lb body-weight and more towards 2g. Poliquin recommends a bulking diet for the carb-intolerant 50g carbs from greens a day, Post-workout .5-2g per lb. LBM. And this is a 4 day low carb, 1 day high carb plan. Every 5th day eat a big carb meal or a whole day of carbs. I'd stick with the Zone-type approach. In terms of High-Carb low fat, unless u just wanna get fat I wouldnt do it. Unless you're one of the few who tolerates carbs really well (which is doubtful, since you've been on a keto diet to lose fat, dont worry, must of us dont, myself included) Then you'd be shooting yourself in the food overdoing the carbs. A low fat diet is also proven to lower testosterone levels (especially below 20%fat) and higher levels show higher T-levels. Choice is yours, if u want to go the Keto way, check out Testosterone's website. Search "Eat Like A Man", a 2 part article on the Anabolic Diet. | ||

I've read the article in t-mag, and have tried bulking on a CKD. I agree with the author, it's very difficult to pull that off. I don't feel it's impossible, just a major PITA. Let's face it, how much meat and eggs can you possibly eat without some carbs? You'll want to vomit if your trying to force down those extra calories from fat and protein only. | ||

i don't worry about the extra calorine intake  just eat a little bit more cheese or add a spoon of oil... can i take a protein drink or should i get all the protein i need out of meat & eggs & stuff? my current drink got 3g of carbs/100g, is that a problem? ------------------ |
