keto diet...

[951thompson]

Hey, I’ve just jumped from a calorie deficit diet onto carb cycling diet. i used my final deficit day as my last moderate carb day and now on day 3 of 50g starchy carbs (low carb). Tomorrow is going to be my high carb day.

I currently don’t feel too good (ketosis setting in, checked it with ketostix) I’ve just done some quick research and it turns /out ketosis isn’t the terrible monster I thought it was. and when you are in ketosis you dont fel bad, its just getting there thats the B**CH
"
So I’m planning on giving the keto diet a try! Can always go onto carb cycling if and when needed.

Would a diet of 320g protein 45g fat be applicable for keto? thats a 80/20 split but only running on 1685 cals.

Or should I up the fat to 90g and have calories at 2090. (Same range as my carb deficit diet). roughly 60p/40f split.

No to much protein will knock you out of ketotis, you have to eat at a split of 60% fat 35 protein 5 carb

You see when you body doesn't have any carbs it will use your protein for energy, this is why it knocks you out of ketotis. You need a split of 60 fat 35 protein 5 carb
