keto diet.........

massmaker56 · Dec 17, 2007

anyone ever heard of a keto diet. Im thinking about trying it. Apparentlly you drop your carbs to around 20g. a day. Intake for protein is 2g. for every 1lb. of body mass not body wieght. and the rest fo the diet is fat. Its more complicated then that. But suppose to shred fat. anyone tried this

i am doing something similar right now. high protein, high fats, very low carbs. amazing thing to me was how my energy did not drop. also i lost 6 lbs in the first week, but it is leveling off now.

So are you eating a lot of saturated fats? thats what confuses me im not real sure what kind of fats to be concuming.

Hey bro in my opinion its should be a mixture of good and saturated fats, you should read some of Dave Palumbo's articles to get a good idea on how to go about a keto diet

ive been reading about the Dave Palumbo diet. Some people on the other boards seem to think that if you are natural, which i am that this diet will not work and will leave you flat looking. They sasy you need the carbs to look full.

i was told to rty moderate carbs and high protein with cardio daily to get shredded

All I can say to you is try for yourself, as it is not for everyone... It really comes down to your genetics and how macronutrient sources effects you! I know a keto type diet is for me!

Increasing the fats will help you stay full, once you have switched over to using fats for energy. Being left flat is only a temporary issue...

I do believe though that you should not count vegetables as carbs per say, some people may disagree. I even think some fruits such as berries are something to be had almost daily...(I try to get most of my vitamins through the foods that I eat)

Usually I can stay in ketosis at around 50 grams of carbs, and I dont really carp up but once every week or two, because I feel less lethargic...

i do fairly well using fats for energy. Im going to try it but i think im only going to use 20-30g. carbs with no starches. See how my body reacts and adjust from there.
