Hi, just wanted to ask if I am eating 50g carbs and working out 3 days per week can I afford to up my carbs a bit after work out and if so by how much, will this knock me out of ketosis. Thanks

    Don't up them after a workout- that's when you want protein. Up them before you work out if you have to, but it's not really necessary. Once you are adapted to the low carbs- 2-4 weeks- then you should have plenty of energy for working out.

    Per Mark Sisson: "Here’s the key: as long as you keep your hard resistance workout at or under an hour (and usually under 35 minutes in the PB model), your body won’t need a lot of glycogen to get through it."
