Thread: Keto Update

Hey Dohes,
I read where Lyle says it's really important to ensure the carbs are clean and to keep fats as low as possible on carb-up. I only really did an 18 hour carb-up.
I'm doing 45 mins of cardio on non-training days.
I'm doing chest/back Mondays
Arms/shoulders/abs Tuesdays
Wednesday off - cardio
Thursday morning cardio; Thursday afternoon - quads/hams/calves
Friday - whole body except legs
Sat & Sunday off - 45 mins of cardio
I was tuning the ketostix purple by Tuesday last week, so hope this continues.
Early days yet; however I'm really going to try and nail this.
cheers,
Franco
p.s. Seafood buffet this Friday, which happens to coincide with my carb-up.

If your doing a ckd then no carb-up is required as you are not depleting, you are running on low carb.

If you do strict UDL2.0 with a depletion and ZERO CARBS around workout/post-workout then a carb-up each week is essential!

This is where things can be wrong, replenishing carbs then re-feeding is double dipping.

I'm doing the the strict UD2. The only carbs I have pre & post workout is on my full body workout on Friday. Depleting with zero carbs Sunday to Friday.

Very good :D

Hi guys,
It will be 2 weeks tomorrow that I've been on the keto diet. Have gone down from 102kgs to 99kgs yesterday morning. No loss of strength, plenty of energy and no hunger. Had a 12 hour carb-up from last night through to this morning. I thought I'd be missing the carbs but I suppose once you've got your blood sugar levels stabilised, you don't get cravings.
I'm loving the workouts that are structured around glycogen depletion; especially the full body depletion workout on Fridays.
Anyway, hopefully more progress lies ahead. I wanna post up that pic at sub 10%.

Power to you comrade..... this is something I could never do.

Looking forward to seeing the pics.

Cheers

Only just into the 3rd week Mino. When I get down around 95 I'll see how I look and maybe post some progress pics.
I will be at sub 10% when I hit 90kgs.

and we still waiting on your pic rusha.

you girls get spoilt with our guy pics,

time to see some of our women i think,

Nearing the end of week 3 on the keto diet and very happy with my progress so far.
I've dropped almost 4kgs in this time.
I'm loving the way the workouts tie in with the depletion.
I do the whole body except for legs on a Friday - almost 30 sets;
It' gruelling but you come away shattered and it's the best feeling.
Got these mad pumps in my lats after 2 carb-up meals this afternoon.
98.4ks this morning; this will go up to 100kgs by tomorrow morning.
My wife reckons I'm looking leaner, so that's heartening.
As I said, goal is 90kgs - sub 10%. Pics then.

Good stuff franko look's like your right on track for the 90kg then. 12 weeks was your rough estimate yeah?

Yeah Newguy. 12 weeks is probably the optimum amount of time you'd want to do a keto diet.
The great thing about keto as opposed to other diets is that when done properly, you can shed fat without too much muscle loss.
I think you'll always lose a little bit, but from what I'm seeing in the mirror, I'm not losing muscle mass; just bodyfat & water.
In my opinion, keto is the greatest fat loss weapon there is.

Mino don't hijack Franco's post. Shame on you
