Why not, I want to give it a crack any reason not to?Why keto?
Body recomp I want to wrap my head around everything and make a meal planWhat do you want to achieve.
What do you need help with.
178cm 87kgs training program is pretty similar to the ptc one 27-2800 cals could be maintenancewhat are your stats, training program and current diet like?
The biggest thing with keto is wrapping your head around the macro split, especially during induction.
fat needs to be 60-70% of your total calories, and during induction even higher.
protein will be lower than normal, and carbs initially in induction only trace amounts.
i used a lot of MCT/ coconut oil on keto as it rapidly converts to ketones and will speed the process. The best for this is a product called brain octain by bulletproof. It is a ultra refined version of coconut oil, and without getting too technical is 100% caprilic acid, that fuels ketosis extremely well, and enhances the brains usage of ketones. Regular coconut oil was also a staple, and contains Lauric acid, and both are great for gut health.
keto is good in that is supressed hunger, but you never truly feel satisfied after eating. Food selection is very limited, and you get sick of meat, eggs and avocado very quickly.
personally, keto was great for my general gut health, but subsequently my reflux got worse due to a existing challenge I had.
work towards to a 70/25/5 split for calories F/P/C and be super strict during induction, use periods of intermittent fasting to further speed induction, with cardio.
for me it is a effective, not not sustainable diet.
How long would you go keto for? I don't think it's something you want to be doing for too long, maybe just until you reach your BW and BF target.
Just eat meat
If you're lethargic, eat a fattier cut of meat
I Would never have the discipline to eat only meat..... Not enough variety
Also if eating leaner cuts the higher protein can convert to glucose through glucogenisis.
I've come to the conclusion that ketosis is a side effect of dieting and not something to actually be sought after
So gluconeogenesis or not, fat ratios, whatever. Doesn't matter. Ketosis or not won't make a difference
True, however there's another mechanism at play here Dave, and that is the stimulation of the hormone cholecystokinin (cck) by the relatively high intake of protein. I say relatively since there's virtually no carbohydrates to speak of, possibly serving to magnify that stimulatory effect of the ingested proteins in the absence of carbs.the appetite suppression, probably a product of the saitey of fat, rather that actual ketone mechanism, so won't argue there.
