Hi all
I’m setting this thread up to help me stick to the game plan which is to drop down to a weight between 11-11st 7lbs in a bid to become athletic!

Isn't the whole point of keto to get into ketosis and stay there? If you're only doing 6 days a week, won't that defeat the purpose? I didn't think it was an intermittent thing...7

I wrote a big *kitten* blurb about the strategy and of course it hasn’t posted.
Forget the labels in that case - keto/low carb etc... reality is though once out of ketosis it doesn’t take forever to get back to it after a cheat meal that is big and carby. The chest day I talk about is really more a pizza on a Sunday and then back to it. It won’t be a whole day of devouring carbs.1 -
Haha doesn’t like my swearing... kitten was another word beginning with F.1

Yeah I'm curious as to the reasoning behind this. I mean, you could whoosh off a great deal of water initially but continuously put it back on every weekend then back off and back on etc, you could feel like you're spinning your wheels. Then there's the potential to basically be in keto "flu" permanently during that six weeks.3

That keto flu thing doesn’t happen with me but then as I think I need to stress my re-feed/carb up days are not going to be at all excessive. Maybe 250 grams carbs.

Edit - removed KETO from subject title as causing confusion. Wouldn’t be confusing if my initial post with lots of detail has saved in full.0

Ah okay. So your 1 day a week refeed isn't going to be enough. Have a look at this thread and it may allow you to implement a better strategy.

It's a glitch, I bet you used an emoticon, right? When you start a thread, if you use an emoticon, it doesn't post anything you type after it.2 -
Vintage feline- I’ll read thanks. We’ll see... I have every intention of trying things my way first though if I’m honest with you - no disrespect. I intend to eat a lot of protein and spare protein can regenerate my glycogen via neoglucogenesis. My mistake here was using the KETO label. It’s more a bodybuilder style KETO that is low carb but moderate fat and high protein rather than low carb with high fat and moderate protein. Modified KETO.
We’ll have to see. I will read that article in full later and thank you. Part of my issue is that I have issues of control with things like sugar etc... I’m a binge eater of those types of things. In all honesty I’m likely best just going full on KETO but that’s not the plan for now.6 -
^^^ if I go flat on my face then I’ll come back with a humbling apology.3

Thank you mate. Stupid emojis making my posts sound stupid and uniformed! Haha. I wrote a huge message of how the 7th day was going to be managed, macros, goals regarding Brazilian juijitsu competitions as well as impulse control issues. Thanks for letting me know, ban emojis!

The actual plan btw guys is getting from 80kgs to 73.5kgs for Brazilian juijitsu comps. The strategy being to have a net calorie count of 1600 a day that is comprised under 50 grams carbs a day, a gram of protein per lb of bw (177 grams approx) and the rest fats. On day 7 a responsible refeed involving no more than 250 carbs and about 2500-3000 cals. I know this largely constitutes a KETO approach but it’s more a bodybuilding style KETO approach that allows for neoglucogenisis to occur from excess protein which is kinder on insulin functions. Sorry if all this isn’t on the first post as had been intended.1

Hey, man! I know that this is the age of "did you Google that?" but for us on the other side of the pond, can you translate Stone to Pounds? I lived in Germany for several years after I graduated from University here in that States and used to go to London for business all the freaking time....so I am aware of this. But, most of us are not!2
