slin and keto

[alo5603]

when using slin to establish ketosis, would you guys suggest a glucometer or keto stix, or both? Also, how would you schedule eating during this time frame of say 3i.u. of slin every 3 hrs until keto is established? Just protein?

yes...but with this method you must have a good knowledge of slin and your body and your protein in take has to be HIGH.....I heard do more like 2iu every 2hrs and you'll be in keto in a day....I myself am a young buck so keto is no prob for me!!!!

be safe bro, good luck

Be very safe. I would not even want to try slin for ketosis, but I don't take as many chances as I used to when I was younger.

thanks for the warnings guys, much appreciated. I have experience with slin for some years now, so i think ill be okay, i know the signs of hypo well, and know what to do if it happens.
So last question though...... just protein during this time frame? When using slin for bulk, i would of course avoid fats and keep protein high and carbs just enough to stave off of hypo, but in this case, no carb to get into keto, and obviously no fats correct? So just good ol lean meats, fish, etc? Much appreciated again fellas.

If you have no carbs during this day, and have 3IU of Hum-R every 4 hours, you'll reach ketosis by the evening and you won't even realise it. You'll feel no ill effects at all.

sounds good, thats what i got, thanx big a

what about humalog? Would if be better then Humulin R as it is a faster insulin, or does it not matter?

If you stay in ketosis for a week, lets say you use the insulin protocol on Sunday and on the following Sat and Sun you carb load, should you use the insulin again or just go into ketosis naturally?

i am going to use it after every carb load, as it takes me at the very least, 48hrs to get into keto, and thats if i am really pushing glycogen depletion with high rep workouts and intense cardio. So that would only leave me with 3 days of keto, while with the slin combo, i can have 5, much better IMO.

bump again for the idea of humalog versus humulin R...... will it make much of a difference using a faster humalog version of slin, or is humulin R fine and it the grand scheme of things, it wont make a big diff?

Most perfer Humulin R over Humalog, as it is much easier to monitor and less likly to get you in insulin trouble. R can be purchased over the counter Humalog is by script only(Florida)
Yesterday I had no carbs and ran 3ius at 6pm 8pm and 10pm when I woke up the keto stix did not show ketones, so I ran 3 more ius and went to gym.
It is 5pm and I am in stong ketosis.
