So what sort of diet and exercise plan do you follow? Is it any different from what you'd be eating if you were just lifting weights 3-4 days a week?

Sweet baby Jesus... You're waaaaay more fit than almost any guy I've seen in a gym. I'm sold! Thanks for replying to my thread, man, a guy like you was exactly the evidence I was looking for!

Well, my greatest concern is that I'll lose the little bit of muscle I've already got. I intend to keep going to the gym for now to lift, but, what would happen if I couldn't bench 285 anymore and...

Just bought and read a book called "You are Your Own Gym" by some big, ripped Spec Ops guy (Mark Lauren) who trained soldiers for Iraq. His entire book is dedicated to bodyweight exercises (e.g....

Been studying biochemistry lately. The book claims that there have been studies that show that your body will store more fat if you fast and then eat high carb, low fat, which is what you would be...

Yea, I've left dirty pots and pans around after cooking ground beef and wound up with an inch of re-solidified fat in the pan. If you were hell-bent on figuring out the calories, I guess you could...

F***, yea! I drink my coffee pitch black, filtered through the threadbare panties of an Amazonian goddess fighting in the Apocalypse!!

Hey, my little sister has similar stats, and I got her to consent to a month of PSMF. I'm probably going to refer her to your log here on bb.com, and if you have any tips for her, it would be...

Everytime I cheat or eat too many calories/carbs, I'll spend a day or two doing nothing but eating fat free chicken breast and spinach leaves. I've had great results, especially if I workout on the...

Muscles contract when an action potential from the central nervous system stimulates enough motor neurons. Action potentials are, in part, carried out by changes in charge in cells and molecules. ...

With a very low calorie diet, muscle catabolism is a big issue. Keto spares muscles by using fatty acids as fuel, but PSMF doesn't allow for such a concession. If you're eating <1000 calories and...

.....you can still lift weights....

Been a year since I took biochemistry, but I think citric acid could actually kick you out of ketosis by starting up the glycolytic cycle. But if you're eating low calorie and low carb, it's not...

Nothing too terrible. Some people start to feel depleted, and their workouts begin to suffer. I've frequently skipped carbups in the past b/c carbups make me feel like steamrolled sh**. My...

Pretty sure muscle hypertrophy necessitates excess calories. That's not to say you won't get stronger, though. Strength and muscle hypertrophy tend to go hand in hand, but corrolation should not be...

You said you're testing it out? So this is an experiment? Sounds cool to me. I'd love to try it out if it works for you. I don't know too many people that bulked on pure keto, although there's...

OK, so you're on a plateau. At this point, you've got two options: 1.) drop the cals to try and lose a little more, and 2.) reset your metabolism by spending a month maintaining/bulking.

Good grief! You were trying to maintain/bulk on a 1200 calorie low carb diet?? No wonder you were losing weight! Can you eat eggs, steak, bacon, Jimmy Dean pork sausage, and ground beef? If so,...

So your question is whether or not you will eventually plateau? Most people do; it's just a matter of time. But are you trying to maintain? And trying to find ways to add cals to your day? Not...

In my 5 or so years of dieting, I've learned not to take a good thing for granted. If you're having great results doing what you're doing, don't mess it up. If you come to a point where you plateau...
