Keto diet info

[BuffedGuy]

Also, if I want to have lean ground beef instead of chicken for one of the meals, then can how much? 8 oz again? Isn't that a lot?

ok when u substitue a food on the plan you have to match the macros up for that meal. In other words when u asked about dark meat..you can substitute but you should decrease amount of almonds u take in at that meal so protein/fat amounts stay the same. Use caloriecounter.com or other site to help with substitutions and keeping macros in line. One more thing ..the diet you posted above is Dave Palumbos diet ..it is very strict and mostly all fats, or as many as possible come from monounsaturated sources..when u sub dark meat , ground beef etc...for lean pro meals, as long as u adjust other source of fat intake with meal and keeop macros identical ,you will get the same results but the diet is not as healthy as the version with lean proteins/ mono fats or proteins with essential fatty acids(salmon etc..) as far as adjusting for 170 there is a formula i dont know it off hand but changes if memory serves me would be minimal ...gimme a little time and ill see if i can find that info...

Thanks bro, you've been very helpful. Sorry for the newbie questions.

One more question *eek!* -- how many slim jims can you have in a day? I feel weird going on a diet and eating those yummy things.

[BuffedGuy]

Can someone please answer the slim jims question please: how many is too many per day?

sorry i kinda forgot about this thread....as long as you stay within your parameters ie calories/macros just fit them in accordingly..if u wanna use them for add on snacks i wouldnt do more than 2/day...tons of sodium bro *L*

quick question, may be stupid, but for the eggs, does it matter if they are cooked?

Ive tried the raw eggs thing and I can stomach it

much higher avail of protein if eggs are cooked not raw..plus safer from a health standpoint.

I always like using liquid pasteurized egg whites. I just drink them straight from the carton.

what does this diet do to total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol? Has anyone had blood work prior, during and after?

Seems like it would cause a spike but the body works in mysterious ways

[jimmyinkedup]

i cant speak to "this" keto diet but interestingly enough with atkins diet the cholesterol values actually imporved...and that diet doent even emphaszie heatly fats...just fats/protein.go figure.....

[jimmyinkedup]

i think it can be done TO A SMALL EXTENT. Those are the claims made by ckd/body opus/anabolic diet. IMO it is most effective at mass retention while cutting...unless it is your first go round working out dieting etc...i dont think its realistic to expect much in the way of mass gains while dropping large amounts of bodyfat. As far as muscle sparing while cutting...it is amazing at this imo.
