So I've been starting my keto diet and cut the last 2 days. I haven't picked up ketostix yet to see if I'm in Keto. How long does it take to get into Keto anyway?
My real question is about bananas. A banana has a whopping 39 grams of carbs which I never knew until I googled it tonight. Is a banana ok to have post workout with whey protein. I know the 30 protein 30 carb theology but is 39 too much? The last 2 days I've stayed around 30-50 daily carbs without the banana. So I'm thinkin if I work in a banana I might go over my 50 carbs daily. Damnit. Any advice/insight/help?
Thanks in advance.

Banana's contain fructose. More than likely it will kick you out of ketosis due to the metabolic pathway of fructose. Stick with Dextrose for your post workout carb. Save bananas and fruits in general for carb up days.

fructose goes directly to the liver. You want to take Dextrose. Its like 5 bucks a tub....very affordable. Dextrose has a very fast effect on raising insulin levels.
