........

Do you do the cyclic version? If so, what does your carb load look like? Also for how long iOS a carb load?

I tried that last year. too much fat gain for me. I didnt work out enough either. Ive been going consistently for about 8 months now. Ive been on and off for the past 4 years.

I eat ~3200 calories per day,

217 grams of protein
132 grams of fat
295 grams of carbs.

I basically eat the same meals everyday mon-friday. I go off course during the weekends b/c I am off work, but I still make sure its High carb/high protein/healthy stuff.

I am basically always bulking, Ive never cut. I started this time last year at around 145 lbs, maybe less. I'm now about 156-158 lean. Goal is 170, aesthetic, somewhat lean. (12% is ok in my book)

Slow process but im in no rush.

Good luck on your goals!

I'm now at 185, 6ft and 19 y/o. According to the fat analyzer I have, I'm roughly 14% body fat. Don't entirely believe that though. Just strength training at the moment, and will cut down to under 9% when the time comes.

I just eat everything. #fuckyeahbulkingseason

[drumad]

lol just a low carb diet?

It's more like a no carb diet with 2/3rds of your calories coming from fat.

[Thizzelle]

so I just read up on the Keto Diet, just a low carb diet. That's what I always do except I don't eat a lot of fat like it says to do. Started more cardio and I'm getting down into single digit body fat

I don't think this is caused by it. I had the flu before I started which was due to heavy drinking and lack of sleep i'm pretty sure. I think this ear infection is just the aftermath of the flu. Anyway, just had some chicken spinach curry with lettuce and sour cream. Ribeye tonight for dinner...this ain't so bad!

[IronFreak]

Yeah, thats the detoxing part i think. I work in IT so all I do critical thinking and problem solving and it makes stuff a lot more difficult. Akin to having a nicotine fit or something. That feeling went away my second round of keto tho.

Yeah, I'm a contract sales estimator........I stare at blueprints and design drawings all day.....I couldn't focus to save my life.

My body went total skitzo on a straight keto diet.......I did the modified version of backloading for awhile. I couldn't focus at all when I was in a full ketogenic state, contrary the the so called clarity and energy you're supposed to have. I know it works, I lost fat, and have many buddies that still do it. Just wasn't for me.

When it affects my job in a bad way I can't screw with it.

Haha i've just been sick as hell lately, finally got into the gym yesterday for the first time in a week! Wake up today with the worst ear infection of my life that subsequently ruptured my eardrum...still going to try and make it though :hitler:

Not sure if its just bad timing or what, but evidently its not uncommon to get sick because you're basically detoxing your body..

[bighitbiker3]

It will be if you stick to it.

Oh wait, this popcorn has carbs.

Started the Cyclic Keto diet this weekend...I can definitely tell this is not going to be easy. Hopefully will be worth it though!
