I'd be interested in seeing a studying like this also. Subjects have identical caloric intake, although half receive 75% calories from carbs, the other half 75% calories from fat sources. The results...

But as far as leptin levels go... could you not restore the levels by simply consuming more non-carb calories (since leptin levels appear to decrease due to low calories... not necessarily low...

Like thick green tea, haha. The cold pressed coconut oil I eat has zero taste... I always just pop 3-4 tablespoons in the microwave and just drink it down. Smoothest 500 cals you can eat :) Doesn't...

I'm currently cutting before my next grappling competition too. Week 5 right now, down 12lbs. I went the first week or so without any carbs, and I'll let ya know that you'll really start to feel it...

Check out how many carbs are actually in some fruit. You can eat a half cup of blueberries and only consume 7-8g of carbs. As far as meals/snacks... my staples are a few cuts of red meat for...

Sounds like you're just not consuming enough calories. Especially during the first week or two it can be really beneficial to eat maintenance calories just until you get used to the lack of...

It's been a while since I've used any stimulants... but isn't 75mg/day of ephedrine on the high side? Not to mention the 600mg of caffeine would make my chest feel like it would explode if I had to...

I generally understand the benefits of MCT's, especially while on keto. But what exactly does the bolded statement mean? When I read flushed I assume excreted... but that doesn't sound too healthy.

No carbs coupled with below maintenance calories (i.e. cutting) will definitely slow the healing process since you're in a catabolic state. If you're eating maintenance or above (i.e....

What are your dimensions/gender? The %'s look fine, but your overall calories are quite low (unless you're like 125lbs).

^ Agreed

Coke Zero is my candy

If you have the energy to continue lifting/athletics, then it is perfectly ok. Carb ups are only for i) replenishing glycogen stores to aid high intensity exercise; and ii) creating a highly anabolic...

I guess there is a difference between hard cardio and light "cardio". I'm not a bodybuilder, but my hard cardio (i.e. interval training at 85%+) requires me to ingest some sugar before my workout to...

Your math is right. Personally... I'd be hard pressed to eat 350g of protein though. If you read the literature, there's not real "right" amount protein, but lots of protein doesn't seem to cause any...

If there is a time for sugar it is exactly when you consumed it. Your muscles will gladly use the available glucose AND the exercise actually inhibits the insulin response therefore keeping the...

If you have enough energy for the gym, the carb ups are definitely not necessary. I do not want to be putting on any weight and have avoided the "carb up" like the plague. I did have switch from SKD...

From my understanding and experience (day 32 woo!)... CKD is most beneficial if you're looking to gain lean muscle mass, but you HAVE to be strict on your carb up day(s). TKD is more for weight...

I am now on my 12th day of keto/ckd. I train muay thai primarily and after reading a lot of Lyle McDonald and other low-carb literature I am committed to trying out this keto diet.

The first few...

Back on topic...

Sugar alcohols having differing GI indexes. For example, malitol (often found in no sugar added chocolate) is nearly the same as sucrose (55 I think when sucrose is 60) and only...

It's probably a ligament/tendon strain. So the only thing to really do is not to aggravate it (no running), ice it, and take ibuprofen a couple times a day. Just have to let it heal.
