Cyclic Ketogenic diet: Help Please

[cache49]

Hey all,
Ive recently started a 12 week keto diet in prep for this summer. I have a few issues with what has been put together for me. Ive read quite a bit about this type of diet and how/why it works but I cant wrap my mind around this. The person who built my diet for me used it last year in prep for a contest and said will never go back to conventional dieting.
Anyhow, my daily mainteneance is 2800cal approx. This diet puts me at nearly 3900cal a day with 150gr or fat, 500 plus protien and less tahn 40gr of carbs. This person is very insistant that I can still cut weight easily, while preserving muscle mass even at 1000cal over my daily maintenance. This makes me scratch my head a little? Oppinions anyone?? No keto haters please...cheers

shoot me a pm. The diet you were given is all sorts of wrong.

It's not that wrong, but the calories are much too high. There is a whole keto forum over on another forum. Not sure if it's against rules, but its bodybuilding.com

It's where I learned everything needed for my Keto diet.

Not to bash that site, but there is a lot of mis-information over there, considering many of the people giving advise are high school kids. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of good information there too, but its tough to weed through the bs to find it. Stick around here for a while.

True. But I did find out about a book from the site, which is mainly where I got all my info from (outside of bb.com)

It's called "The Metabolic Diet" by Mauro Di Pasquale, B.Sc., M.D.
