I am doing keto after researching the stickies in the nutrition and losing fat sections, and I think it is unbelieveable. But after my 2 hour basketball practices, I like to treat myself to a diet soda, so that would be 40 ounces of diet soda per day, at the most, and I was wondering that even if I was out of ketosis because of the diet soda, would I still be using fat for fuel and burning stored bodyfat?

40 Ounces???? Holy ****e thats alot bro considering most cans are 8 ounces. So what you are asking is for 2-20 Ounce Diet sodas? If that is the case I would say no. Most of them have some sort of sugar substitute in them and most have alot of sodium. The only kind of diet cola I treat my self to [B]occasionally[/B] is diet rite. It is made with splenda and is very low if not zero in sodium. Your choice bro but I say dont do it if it were up to me.

no you won't gain fat from this, don't worry about sodium in your diet (you shouldn't be worrying about blood pressure yet), shouldn't take you out of ketosis either

Sodium shouldn't be your main concern, but I wouldn't say don't worry about it. Excessive sodium can cause bloating and water retention. This is where our lovely friend water weight comes from. If you eat a lot of sodium, I'd reccomend drinking a few extra glasses of water a day, just in case.

Initially water retention is a problem but after only a few days on a high sodium diet a negative feedback mechanism (can't remember details but I will look em' up if neccesary) kicks in and the excess water is lost. This is the reason why sodium loading works. First you load up on the sodium before a contest bloating you up, the water eventually passes and you look normal again, then you eliminate ALL sodium from your diet and you will be very dehydrated but look hard as a rock.
Okay...
my rents are buggin me about eating too many eggs, last week i had about 8 (2 every mornin for 4 days) and i know thats pretty bad but.. since i was on keto is it still AS bad? sorry if im wrong but arent you supposed to only have 3 or 4 eggs a week? just wodnering (sorry, eggs is my example because they are high in cholesterol, but other foods are too)

I don't see anything wrong with it. I eat about 20-30 eggs a week. I have 3 every morning and sometimes more througout the day. Can anyone else comment on this?
I have not seen a single case where cholestrol levels have increased while on a ketogenic diet. In fact the bad drops and the good increases.
The body will not store no where near as much in a glucose/glycogen deprived state.
I eat 3-4 dozen eggs a week. Last cholestrol results for me was 142.
The best I ever seen was a client of mine. Before keto 273 after 4 weeks of keto 178.
Fitnessman for president, that man knows his ****e!
cholestrol ......
I've read that in many cases, a majority of cholestrol found in the body is actually made by the body (as a response to many things) and not from cholestrol ingested. Sure diet can help lower cholestrol a ton, but genetics often plays the major role in many.
Eat all the eggs you want, IMHO.
Omelets foreveryone, I SAY.
I go through about 5 dozen eggs a week and at my last physical, my cholesterol levels were LOW. Eggs have the GOOD cholesterol in them anyway. People are so mislead when it comes to nutrition. Sometimes it blows my mind. The funny thing is that most of the times, the people who are giving there "two cents worth" about dieting are the ones that REALLY need to go on the diet.
yeh, in my own case, people make fun of me for eating 7-8 small meals a day, while they starve themselves all day and have an enormous dinner. But I'm the one who has the last laught when it's time to play basketball and everybody takes off their shirts. But seriously, fitforlife, you're exactly right, and the people dissing keto have most likely not tried it or delved into it fully and just see a part of it and criticize it. It's all good. Keto rocks!
Well I ve been doing the keto diet for my fifth day today and I just can get any reading on those ketostix. I am consumming about 55% fat / 35%protein / and 5% carbs and I still cant get into ketosis. What is the problem??I am 6'3'' 195lbs an about 15% bf. I am consuming a total amount of between 3000-3500 calories/day and my postworkout shake consists of 42g protein and 30 g carbs(gatorade). What am I doing wrong can anyone please help me out because I just can get into ketosis. Should I change the ratios around or do something else?? I just need some advice Can any of you guys please help me out??

keto for bulking.......hmmmmmm......fitnessman does it.
You know you are at over 17 cals/lb. :)
I would suspect you may be taking in more carbs than you think as well as you may be one who has to keep carb levels extreamly low to reach a solid ketosis. I never use the ketostix and don't recommend them. Look out for hidden carbs, read all lables and pay strict attention to portion size.
To ensure ketosis.......
I'd stay away from all juice, most fruits, any sweateners, anything breaded even if it's lightly breaded, and all bar-b-q sauces.
ketosis is your body's responce to being carb depleted. LOL
Hope this helps a little, maybe others can add.
PEACE
Yea I have been trying to watch what I eat all. I have been monitoring my carbs and I eat a total of like 70-80g per day. but 15-20 of those are fiber and 30 of those are gatorade from postworkout shake. giving me a total of about 30 impact carbs per day. Do I need to lower the carbs even more?? Well the only sweetner I use is stevia and the largest portion of my carbs come from a medium head of Iceberg lettuce which I eat about one total per day in my salads. I dont drink any juices but i but i do use apple cider vinegar in my vinagretes(I dont know if that matters). I am unsure as if to carb up this coming weekend because I have not yet entered ketosis I am thinking about waiting till next weekend . What do you guys think? Any other advice or comments even a meal plan would be greatly appreciated.
Hey everybody,
Okay let me say sorry for all of these useless posts! I posted up this same exact reading thing in my own thread, I feel like an ass because I can't read : P, just bare with me though!
I just read all of the article, and I've answered most of my questions, lol. Okay I know what ketosis is, I know how to see if you're on it, let me just post up my stats, maybe someone can help me.
LBM = 129lb. 58.6 kg Total weight = 155 lb.
1825 Cal. Per day
129 g Protein/516 Cal. of Protein
145 g Fat/1309 Cal. of fat
For the weekend Carb. up: 586 Cal. Carbs - 703 Cal. Carbs
Okay for the weekend Carb. up. So I can start loading up the carbs. Friday night until Saturday midnight. So this can be carbs from any food. Now I still need to keep the fat under my kg of body weight right? Which in my case would be 58.6 kg. Okay one thing that confuses me is in the article, it says:
"Sunday through Friday afternoon , you will follow the low carb diet outlined above. Eat fat and protein all day everyday except on workout days because after workouts, you will need to consume strictly just protein—no fat or carbs."
So basically eat fat and protein and make your own diet during the week, okay I got that, after the weight work out, should I not eat any carbs at all? None period?! Or is it just right after the work-out, try and have a protein shake, wait a little, then have some vegetables or what not. Another thing, the article doesn't mention anything about carbs. (unless I'm just retarded) during the Sunday - Friday diet, what would be the max amount of carbs that I should eat?

I'm a little confused, what article did you read and how did you do your calculations you listed ?
Let me try and help......
Durring the week I'd shoot for ratio's of 50% fat, 45% protein and 5% carbs. (cals of course).
Based on 155lbs.......
Target cals per day = 155x10 = 1550 cals.
(using 10 cals per lb as a caloric target calculator)
Target fat grams per day = (1550x.5)/9 = 86 grams of fat (755 cals)
Target protein per day - (1550x.45)/4 = 174 grams of protein (697 cals)
Target carbs per day = (1550x.05)/4 = 19 grams of carbs (76 cals)
These are numbers based stricly on ratio's and being 155lb you can lower the fat and protein slightly and goto say 10% from carbs and still be fine. Which would put you at 38g of carbs. (remeber to drop protein and/or fat slightly to compensate for this)
1. yes eat fat and protein durring the week, with majority of carbs comming from fiberous veggies.
2. You must have a post workout drink real important when on keto) of 30-40 grams of protein and approx 30 grams of high GI carbs (dextrose, maltodextros, or grape juice with your creatine) immediately post workout. The carbs in the postworkout drink should not be counted in your daily totals as they will be used by the body immediately for recovery and glycogem replenishment. The carbs will illicit an increase in insulin which will aid in recovery and glycogen replenishment ti both the muscle and liver stores.
3. Rule of thumb.....keep carbs under 50 grams per day (not including post workout carbs) and most can reach ketosis no problem.
4. The diet needs to be tweaked. If you find yourself not having enough energy, usually an increase in fat intake will do the trick.
I hope this helps.
PEACE

maybe you are one who needs below 20 grams of carbs to reach Ketosis. I know people who have to be almost at a 0 carb intake to reach ketosis, then over time they are able to bump it up to about 20 to 30. You just need to find what works for you.
[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Drumboy354 [/i]
[B]Okay I got those numbers from the article on this forum, from the Nutrition section. When he starts talking about the Sunday through Friday diet requirements you know? He says to do calculations (Multiply body weight by 15 - 500 = Daily calorie intake) etc... Okay about the post work out shake, lol yes I'm a newbie, but I'm guessing post workout is before the work out, yes? So any carbs that's in that shake (i.e. maybe some berries? blue berries or what not? Or is that too much and maybe like an egg or something?) Thanks for your help [/B][/QUOTE]
The only time you do not count your shake in your carb totals is when you take it AFTER a work out.
A question for all the Keto-gurus:
I am currently on a 50/30/20 Carb/Protien/Fat bulking diet, and plan to continue this for about 3 more weeks (until I reach 200 lbs- I'm currently about 192 or 193). I am considering giving a keto diet a try for cutting once I finish the bulking.
I think I have a pretty clear picture of what a typical keto diet will involve, but I have not seen any real discussion regarding how best to start a keto diet. In particular, is there any need to transition? Currently I am getting between 3700 and 4100 cal. a day. Will suddenly starting a 2000 cal a day keto diet cause any sort of "crash"? I don't want to feel like crud for a week and not be able to keep up my weight training.
Any advice on how to get started if I choose this type of diet?

post - a prefix meaning after.
thus......
postworkout = after your workout.
You want high GI simple carbohydrates. ie. dextrose, maltodextros, grapejuice ect. Sure some fruit is fine too, as long as it's higher on the GI chart.
there are different ways to calculate targets for F/P/C's.
I like to use straight % calculations and do the math that way.
(Must be my engineering background - LOL)
Others like to use the rule of thumb method for protein and carbs
and subtract that from total caloric target. Depending on your weight, this method can vary in target cals/grams for carbs and protein. I liek straight % calculations. Ratio's are ratio's and they tend to work for everyone reguardless of your weight. The only rule of thumb when I calc for keto I like to use is "start at 50g of carbs or less" and as long as % calcs don't go over 50 grams for carbs, I leave it alone.
PEACE
Can one of the vets help me out here.
My girlfriend is going to start the diet. She is 130 lbs 22% bf, 5'4" 28 yrs old. Can someone tell me what her protein, carb and fat intake she should be getting.
BTW, she works out with weights and does some light cardio 4 days a week.
Thanks
Matt
Progress update:
I now weigh 159pnds and my lifts haven't decreased. I weighed 178 at the most and I've lost 19pnds in about 5 and 3/4 weeks.
And I owe it all to liposuction! j/k :D
On the other hand, fat in my chest area has been very slow to decrease, although it has a bit. Maybe after I get to a point where iI'm 10-12%BF and my chest hasn't followed suit I'll go to an endo and see if it's psuedo of a case of gyne. :( Doh...

Okay, I will use Chi's suggested plan. Although, I will up the carbs to 10%. So my ratio should be 50/40/10 Fat/Protein/Carbs. Does this sound good?
You don't NEED a whey/dextrost cocktail after a workout, I can attest to that.
I'm curious how you guys can only take in 1500-1800 calories and not feel hungry all the time? Does this feeling change after being on the diet for a while? I just started 3 days ago (yeah I know it was an odd day to start) and I'm taking in about 2000-2500 cal's and I'm starving all the time!!!! I only way 150lbs. right now but I though I would try the diet to try and gain some mass and maybe loose a little fat. I chose to try this because I've heard a lot of people say that they have done just that. Anyhow back to the calorie question. I have read pretty much everything at [url]http://metabolicdiet.com[/url] and I have the book "The Anabolic Diet" by Dr. Mauro Di Pasquale. I believe that he recommends a maintenance calorie intake of body weight x 18 which he says should put on a few pounds of mass and drop some body fat. Which would put me at about 2700 cal's per day. Which seems a lot higher than what I hear people eating that weigh a lot more than me. Am I missing something here?
Check your PM GDI
Almost forgot. I'm kind of leary about taking in post workout carbs until I see if I really need them. But is a Whey/Creatine drink mixed in water ok? I already did my creatine load last week. I wasn't sure about the creatine on this diet though.
I believe that creatine is most effectively transported and absorbed by causing an insulin spike which would require postworkout high GI carbs. I am unsure if it will be obsorbed with the same effectiveness if you neglect the postworkout carbs.

[/B][/QUOTE] you MUST have those carbs in your post-workout shake especially if your using creatine. recently i started (with fantastic results) 10 grams of creatine 1 hour before training with around 1-2 litres of water (NO CARBS PRE-workout) and IMMEDIATELY after training (finish the last set and go straight to my Gym bag) and have another 10 grams of creatine & 2 servings of protein (Optimums 100% whey) with a gatorade drink. i found it increases the speed of the whole recovery process and makes me feel fuller for the rest of the day (i train in the A.M.) . i drink around 2 or 3 litres of water while training as well which is very important when using this much creatine. my body must use it as i rarely have to go pee while working out. 60 to 90 minutes later i have another meal (usually red meat,cheese & vege's) this is working real well for me. i also think red meat should be the core of your menu.Richie
Thanks for the reply. One more question on the post workout carbs. Is it even ok in the first week of the diet? On day two (yesterday) I checked with Ketostix and it showed Trace Keton's. I just don't want to screw everything up by taking in carbs right away. Although I understand that the post workout carbs should go straight to glycogen stores.....I just don't want to mess it up this early on the diet.
how do you find your fat intake for keto? i'm 145 pounds
Okay I have a question. When I bulk up, yes I will gain weight, I have established that, hopefully it's muscle, however, I still have fat to lose. When I gain this extra muscle, will I look fat? Or will the added muscle really decrease my bf %? Sorry for the repetitive question.
[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by weltall [/i]
[B]how do you find your fat intake for keto? i'm 145 pounds [/B][/QUOTE]
I would start with using 45F/45P/10C based on your weight.
145x10 = 1450 cals per day.
1450x.45 = 652 cals from fat
652/9 (cals per gram) = 72.5 grams of fat
1450x.45 = 652 cals from protein
652/4 (cals per gram) = 163 grams of protein
1450x.10 = 145 cals from carbs
145/4 (cals per gram) = 36 grams of carbs

can i drink milk while on keto? if not why?
i don't see why i couldn't 12 carbs per serving
Milk sugar absorbs to slow creating a sustained insulin response, which you dont want.
Save it for the carb up day.

Yes, your BF% will decrease if all gain is muscle. It's basic math really. The tough part in doing that is keeping the gains lean.

No, those carbs are used right away. Though some people still like to count the cals. LOL
and i guess that goes with protein too?
Sorry, I know this was probably covered already, but I can't find it. While cutting with keto, how often and for how long do you carb load? I believe I read a 36 hour carb up, but how often? I assume you eat the same amount of meals but add the carbs in. Thanks.
is it possible to eat excess fat while on keto?

[B]is it possible to eat excess fat while on keto? [/B][/QUOTE]
% wise - YES
Total cal wise - YES
No matter what diet you are on, it is still a matter of calories in and calories used.
Is it necessary to take creatine on non-workout days? If so do you just take it with water rather than a carb drink? Just curious what everyone else does here.
Been on diet for 5 days....lost 5 pounds. Probably all water. I've been hovering right around 2000 cal's per day but I'm having a hard time keeping my total fat intake under 60% of my diet (not counting post workout drink). Should I cut the cheese out? I eat about 1.5-2oz. of cheese twice a day as part of my morning and afternoon snacks. If I can hit 50-60% of my diet as fat I'll be happy but I don't want to keep going over. Any suggestions on what to replace the cheese with? (I love cheese)
how many carbs should i be taking in post workout? and can i drink gatorade for the simpe carbs?
What is the diffrence between atkins and Keto results wise? They both attempt to put your body into ketosis by limiting the amount oif carbs? So isnt ketosis by any name still ketosis?
ATKINS BELIEVES IN A LIFETIME LOW CARB CONCEPT WITH NO CARB LOAD DAYS ON THE WEEKEND. HE IS MAINLY TALKING ABOUT MAKING THIS A LIFETIME CHANGE AND COMMITMENT.
KETO (BODYOPUS STYLE IF YOU WILL) IS USING THE PHILOSOPHY OF CARB UP DAY SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY (PER SE).
