No workout for the first week. Going to 'ease' into the diet, then start workout in the second week, hopefully giving body enough time to adjust to new diet.

Hello BB.com Community,

Although I have done three cycles of the keto diet in the past, this is my first time creating a log. My reason is mostly selfish. I want to use it as a tool to keep...

I have been doing warrior diet/keto for some time. I find it really helps overcome carb overdosing when carbing up. Before I would WAY over do it on my carb up. Now I just limit myself to one carb...

I'm an advocate of eating only one large meals and using coffee/water to supress appetite. I usually try to time my meal to about an hour after I finish working out (will take whey immediately after...

I would consume enough fat to maintain good energy levels. That may be hard to do on only 1500 calories. Also, I personally believe you can cut back a bit on protein. I was able to continue making...

So, I struggled with this at first, but it was pretty much due to me missing something completely obvious. You want ~65% of your CALORIE intake to be from fat not weight (grams). The mistake I was...

Do I smell a troll...? Just for the sake of discussion, I would guess hydration may be a concern as well.

Well, sounds to me like you are essentially doing a TKD style diet whether you like it or not. If nausea is the only side effect you are feeling (which will probably subside anyway) and you're ok...

Try the following:

Remove any lean meats from your diet (skinless chicken, turkey, tuna...)

Don't be afraid of red meat, fatty ground beef has pretty good macros and is cheaper than alot of...

Have you considered just doing a keto diet to cut? After awhile your body will adjust and perform much better in a keto state. Why are you taking in the carbs at breakfast? Perhaps you should...

I usually carb up once a week. In that time I feel extremely bloated and gassy (Mexican food doesn't help!). I can imagine that after six weeks straight the effects may be a bit more drastic....

I think that is part of the curse of attempting any sort of bodybuilding. Don't know if you're ever really completely satisfied. Constantly striving for perfection... Either trying to get bigger...

Just remember that pork rinds' protein efficiency is low, so you shouldn't really count all 9g of protein in pork rinds

"...they have a protein efficiency ratio lower than 40% as dictated by the...

I recommend getting some chicken drummies (non breaded/floured) and sticking them in a crock pot. Pour about 1/2 bottle of Frank's Red Hot and 1/4 stick of butter and let them simmer over night on...

IMO, pork rinds are fine and provide an awesome snack when you have the munchies. Just keep in minds, as with everything, to stay within your macros and calories otherwise, you may hinder results. ...

Haha, for sure. My thought has been "What's the rush?" Even when I get to the point where I am happy with my body, I am still going to have watch what I eat and workout steadily to maintain that...

Is creatine necessary or helpful if using keto on a cutting cycle? For some reason, I was thinking creatine should be more reserved for bulking.

So, it sounds like you are doing a ckd approach? How often do you recommend carbing up with P90x? I was thinking a 24 hour carb up once a week. Any thoughts? Thanks for the input.

Thanks, still not where I want to be yet though....

Little Background:
After getting finished with college (where I played rugby and weight lifted regularly) and starting a desk job in 2009, I quickly began to pack on the pounds. Even though I...
