Ketosis Diet

[Encino_Mang]

Anyone ever used this diet with any success?

My buddy just did this for 30 days following a bulk cycle and lost tons of fat. He claims he's kept a lot of muscle but he looks really small to me now. I dont in anyway agree with this form of eating.

I'd look into carb cycling over ketosis.

Just because the body can be forced to adapt to a ketosis diet hardly means its ideal or healthy.

Carbs a crucial for many bodily functions.

I have, where most people fail is not getting enough fats..they get paranoid, It works well for me if done right, but I thrive on more protein and fats and less carbs.

Yeah, I like to run CKD from time to time.

I don't know what it is.....I can fill up on steak but I still crave carbs.....maybe I'm not getting enough fat

did you ever try the anabolic diet ...it was low carb 4 days (sub 50 gms) 2 carb days and a no carb day to get back into the swing of low carbs

great for getting your meat cravings and your bread cravings....

but the interesting thing is the day you came off low carbs and moved to carbs...that first carb meal would trigger a major response ... I would sweat like I just ran 3 miles and all I did was eat some bread

I lost fat on it ....not sure if it did anything for stimulating hormones that was promise for muscle gain..
and have to admit the fact that if you need pizza you could do it on carb day..

funny thing about the diet , after the second day of carbs you were ready for the no carb... however by the second day of low carbs you were ready for some bread and had to wait 3 more days

I ate like this for years, and it worked well, made lean gains while keeping bf at 5% Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale came up with this diet, although there have been a lot of versions. Vince Gironda back in the 60's advocated a diet like this, low carb and then every 4th day a 'reefed' meal, higher in carbs.


And alot of people laughed at him when he said cutting back on carbs will make you lean, they thought fat made you fat...LOL and too much protein well we won't even go there. Stupid ,primitive, stone-age nutritionists.

Im on this diet now, trying to drop a weight class. Ive been on it for 8 days now, and so far so good. I have lost 5lbs since I started and plan to run this diet for 4/5 weeks.

I feel like absolute shit when I don't eat enough carbs. I do a lot of high intensity cardio and I just can't train well w low carbs.

Carb cycling works best for me. By the 3rd day of low to mod carbs I can barely train, but then I get to fill up on carbs and train hard again.
