I tend to lose muscle in ketosis as well unless I take in a ton of fats and even then my joints start to hurt so bad I lose strength which eventually causes muscle loss. so for the next 3 days im gonna carb up, 600-800g of carbs for 3 days and 2 gallons of water also to help store glycogen back in the muscles. do you think this will be enough to help regain lost muscle? Yes!thanks

thanks for the reply ronnie. do you still follow the keto diet when needed? NEVER! in the past ive always gone medium carbs and low fats to cut up but afte researching the keto diet and weighing up the pros and cons i went with this but i definetely regret it. thankfully i carbed up and gained the weight back but do you think that it is possible to stop muscle loss during ketosis or is that down to metabolism? I think if you can keep weight loss to 1 lb per week you have a much better chance of holding onto most of your muscle when in ketosis (especially if you have a faster metabolism). was watching a branch warren vid and he also said that he doesnt really like the zero carbs approach as he gets way too flat, also i was watching a dorian yates seminar where he said that the lowest he ever went on carbs was 200g a day but then he would carb up for 3 days taking in around 100-1500g of carbs! abit much but i think he must have been taking insulin. I agree with Branch and yes Yates took slin.
for my next cycle i was thinking of adding primo t3 and clen to test and tren. i finished 1.2g of test and 450mg of tren for my previous cycle but do you think it would be wise to perhaps reduce the test to around 900mg and increase the tren to 750mg ? i think it will help keep water retention low and help with more quality gains, what do you think? I think by decreasing test and inceasing tren you will have less water retention-hence stay leaner looking. Plus tren is stronger than test so more quality gains! You can try 750 mgs of tren but I would reduce test to 750 mgs as well to relieve even more water. with this cycle i would reduce the carbs to 300g a day, protein would be 500g and fats 50g (i weigh 240 pounds, probably more cos i carbed up) would this be good for lean gains and keeping bf low? I would decrease carbs to 200- 5 days per week if you begin to gain too much body fat and carb up some twice a week while simultaneously reducing protein to keep calories in check. thanks alot ronnie.
