Keto Diet:
Right I know I am late to the party with this and Atkins, etc have been around for years but I'm 4 weeks in on a deep Keto diet. Watching too much shit on YouTube and a desire to experiment with my body I thought I would give it a go! I'm also 8 weeks in on m y Test/Deca cycle.
I've watched everything from Dave Palumbo approach to some hippy who live on a tropical mountain somewhere! So i decided with the full fat approach, Carbs 5% (40g), Protein 25% and Fats 70% of macros based on 2,500 kcal. Most fats are good fats and not make up from junk shit, and no Carbs are from a direct source. I've not eaten bread, rice, pasta, fruit, any sugar or processed shit for a month! I even have a 'Bulletproof Coffee' every morning!
First two weeks and it was very hard, pissing all the time (4/5 times at night), always thirsty, brain fog, anxious, and not good company. Now well on way, Carb cravings have nearly gone, I'm losing BF which is the whole point of the diet and I feel good, it gets hard in gym after 1 hour and pumps are well down but strength all ok. last week started taking 2 teaspoons of table salt a day which has stopped the brain fog, Keto causes huge water dump from the body and Sodium loss during first few weeks.
I am defo looking leaner, dropped 2% in BF but kept weight same (thanks to the AAS), my bottom Abs are trying to break out and I think another few months and I'll see something on my stomach which hasn't been there since I was 18!
After 3 months I'm gonna introduce a Carb day, just one day and I'll drop in 400g of cleanish Carbs, this is something that Palumbo recommends from day one, but I want to get BF to 10% before I start Carb re-feed.
Anyone else had any experience of this madness!!
Cheers.
