Anyone else here doing keto? I’ve been in deep ketosis for 2 weeks now- the lbs are coming off but I’ve also been doing intense cardio 6 days and strength training 3-4 days. I’ve done this routine quite a abut - but I’m feeling a lot of muscle fatigue lately- i could barely lift yesterday. Any thoughts? I’ve upped my water and salt intake. Thanks for any input!

@mg07030 I have been doing keto for over a year.
You will feel fatigue in the beginning. Your body is switching from using glucose as it's primary fuel source to using fat for fuel, your muscles are being depleted of glycogen and will have to learn how to adapt. I would say it took me about 6-8 weeks before I was able to lift the same was I was before, I felt like I'd lost a lot of strength during those weeks, but it came back and I felt even stronger when I got there. My advice, maybe pull back a bit during this time, but you will get there.
Another thing to think about is your protein intake...I went full 80% in the beginning as that's what's suggested to help with the fat adaptation stage and if you're eating too much protein (which sounds counter-intuitive I know), you might be slowing this process down. Once you're fully fat adapted, you can mess with the protein numbers and see what's optimal for you.
Also watch your potassium and magnesium intake too.
Hope that helps...1 -
Daily Post: Thursday, Sept. 13th
Track: Yes
Calories: Yes/Under
Exercise: 20 min. stairs, 65 min. HIIT on the lateral trainer, 60 min strength training class
Goal: Promising myself I will not get down if the scale says I've gained!!! Weigh in is tomorrow... I can't take the suspense in knowing the number---always worry that I'll be disappointed if I'm up, even though I've been on task with everything. I've just started up weight training 2 hours a week and so I know that I'll be retaining water in a big way. I'm learning not to let the scale derail me.
HAPPY THURSDAY!!

@SLIMn2016 You know, I've found the best remedy (and this will sound crazy) for water retention is more water. The more I drink, the less I seem to retain...although there is sometimes where you just can't help it...it is what it is...either way, you're doing great and lifting weights is way better, even if you retain a little extra water, the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn (because muscle eats fat for breakfast). 3 -

Thanks Ashley! It may be too much protein! I’ve been doing a lot of seafood. Doing good on my electrolytes.
Been on low carb or keto about 6 months - but I was having little cheats here and there of wine of too much dairy. The last 2/3 weeks it’s been super keto down to the wire no cheats- so maybe this is true keto! Looking forward to feeling stronger.

Thursday:
Tracked: No
Calories: Probably too many to count
Exercise: No
Day: Drove 6 hours to TN to evacuate NC. I did manage to pack my scale and weights but I’m just too exhausted from the day to worry about what I’m eating and tracking. Will be back at it tomorrow.3 -

@mg07030 I don't feel nearly as good if I cheat or eat too much protein, and having said that, I can do as much as 30% protein before it's too much for me, but everyone's a bit different.
You might just be getting fat adapted now if you weren't super strict in the beginning, in which case, how you're feeling now makes sense. Hang in there, it gets so much better! I have more strength and energy now than I have EVER had, it's so worth it!1 -

Not as great as I had hoped, but I did have a stress eating problem yesterday. However, today is another day and my friend and I are going to do a workout after school. Looking forward to it!1 -
Daily Post for Thursday:
Track: yes
Calories: no..... I had a snack. lol I could say I was in it for the fiber, but that's really only a fraction of the truth.
Exercise: stairs, playing with a toddler...
Didn't do too bad overall, till I had the snack at 8pm. My daughter and I sometimes snack on cereal before bedtime. Mostly to get some extra calories in her, and some fiber. Oh well. I'm not too worried about it, since it wasn't too much. Still riding the high from my weigh in!

Comments: Monday started another phase of my training cycle for my competition, wish me luck. Today I was informed that I've lost 8 lbs since Aug 8, which puts me .5 lbs away from my goal weight for competition...you'd think I'd realize how close I was...but nope, I was shocked and I'm 8 weeks ahead of schedule...so there's that.3 -
