Keto question

Oker-How can this be based on a lean BULK if you are still in a calorie deficit? And if the only thing that constitutes being in ketosis is the lack of carbs, then would this not fit the bill of a ketogenic diet?

You're right bro in essence, DP is suggesting dropping carbs in order to reach ketosis… agreed. The cal deficit is beside the point because ultimately DP’s diet is still a lean bulk and furthermore it advocates building muscle while on that diet, hence the word “bulk”. ckd does not advocate the same thing but suggests maintaining LBM - I think it’s quite clear. It's not the same diet as it achieves something entirely different in terms of your objectives as a BB. Do some research on both diets and then come back and tell me if they're the same.
