Thread: Keto to get diced. Any input?

also i posted this for another guy doing keto. If you want to add in a carbs a bit before and after your workout you can still stay in ketosis but have a bit more energy for ketosis.

for every 2 work sets (assuming a set length of 30-45 seconds) or so, you’ll need 5 grams of carbohydrates to replenish the glycogen used.
So if you did a workout containing 24 work sets, you’d only need about 60 extra grams (24 sets * 5 grams/2 sets = 60 grams) of carbohydrate to replace the glycogen used. So if you were starting at the bare minimum of 50 grams per day and were doing roughly 24 sets/workout, you’d need to consume an additional 60 grams (total 110 grams/day) to cover it.

Today is day 4 of the keto business. Felt ok most of the day, a little tired and a bit of a headache came on around noon or so. Took a couple advil and some magnesium and potassium and it went away before I hit the gym. I am pissing like crazy and trying to consume 2 gal+ water a day. Day 2 into day 3 I dropped 4.2lbs over night....crazy right? Today I woke up at 204.2 same as yesterday. Going to try and run this out for at least 2 weeks and see where im at and how I feel. Current macros are a little flexible but are around 120-150g protein, 200-230g fats, and 30g carbs (net). I may adjust things next week depending where I am on Sunday.

No problem. Adding in plenty of salt as in like 2 or 3 grams a day probably is the biggest thing that helps most people. don't worry you won't bloat from it. The ketosis will keep you pretty dry and you will piss out any extra salt your body doesn't want. Drinking too much water can occasionally be a problem as it aids in pissing away the salt. But try the salt for a bit. Ask me any keto questions. Have a ok background in it and used it to loose around 60 lbs.

Doing a cut now to finally due my first bulk at a proper bulk bf%.
