Keto

[BloodRayne]

I have been interested in trying a Keto diet to help shred after a 5 month intense lifting period. I am 5' 5 1/2" , 150 lbs. and 18% bf. My goal is 9.5% bf and I am having a hard timegeting down past 16% with watching what I eat (40/40/20).

My main question is, Is there a specific ratio within a Keto diet that I would need to stick to in order to lose fat? I am limiting (for the past 3 days so far) my carbs to under 30 g day, but I feel that the fat intake percentage is too high (I'm sure it's from years of brainwashing, low fat dieting). Any information would be appreciated!

If you go into the general nutrition section you will find tons of info on keto.
The general rule for ratio is 50%protein/45%fat/5%carbs.
Some go with a higher fat, but I prefer to keep it around here.

But do check out the site. There is alot more info that you should be aware of when you are working out.
