How much glycerol allowed in keto?

[bigmax]

Hi, I tried to do a cross search to find about this topic but hadn't satisfying results.

I am in ketogenic, and I'l like to use glycerol pre workout, i'm currently a bit depleted of liquids: i went from 212 to 202 when i started my keto, my intention is to stay hydrated at least during the workout but some information sites like this suggest to take around 90 ml of glycerol for a guy of my size... personally I think its too much, and the water quantity to add to it is huge too: 1800ml!

My biggest concern is that glycerol can make me get out of ketosis so I want to stick to a minimum quantity suggested to have hydration benefits for a guy of my size and keep me in keto.

Thanks in advance for your help

It's not a carb...I read a thread on IM that a guy used a good bit of it, and he was still in the state(tested /w strips)

Yes, I don't think it has much if any effect on blood sugar (but not absolutely positive). I should experiment with it with a glucose meter.

Glycerol is a fat. It has no impact on blood sugar. Tread carefully.

Massive G suggested 10ML of Gly per 500ML of water. Mentioned I should start with 5ML of gly per 500ML water just to see how my body reacts.

Hope this helps.

No, it is not.

My bad.

The name glycerol is preferred for the pure chemical, but the commercial product is usually called glycerin. It is widely distributed in nature in the form of its esters, called glycerides. The glycerides are the principal constituents of the class of natural products known as fats and oils.
