My favorite way of eating, most of the year I stay on a ketogenic diet, I do go through periods of eating carbohydrates but the majority of the year I'm keto. So why keto? First off there is NOTHING magical about ketogenic diet or ANY diet for that matter, it's all about what is sustainable for you and what you prefer to eat.
Myself I love fatty foods, I function very very well on ketones, my strength goes up in the gym, my training intensity and stamina goes up.....yes I said stamina! Very odd but when im running off fat as fuel I become very efficient at story glycogen and my energy goes through the roof so my stamina in the gym and cardio goes up significantly. I honestly don't too many bodybuilders that thrive in ketosis but I sure as hell do, I know Brad Rowe loves keto and like me stays ketogenic the majority of the year.
Can you build muscle on a ketogenic diet? Well I sure the fuck can, but its always more of a recomp type gaines, I lose bodyfat and gain muscle, I just don't get that blown up doll look like carbs and slin, I still get great fullness from all the sodium in my diet and good pumps but not that over the top blown up look, but honestly that is only two carb up day away any time I want it.
Did I say I love fat? ...LOL I fucking love whole eggs and cheese, fatty cuts of meat like grilled chicken thighs, I love avacados, bacon, 80/20 ground beef, grilled Salmon. I can honestly eat like this for the rest of my life and that fact makes it the most successful diet FOR ME.
DINNER LAST NIGHT
80/20 hamburger with a green bell pepper bun, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, two strips of bacon and half avacado topped with G. Hughes sugar free hickory BBQ sauce.
