You're saying your body uses 60g of carbs during a workout? What if you dont eat carbs haha. Very precise bro science.

Can the excess surplus calories be used(from binging), if i go in a deficit for a few days, or will the excess calories of created fat that cant be used towards gaining muscle in my bulk

Great, thanks. Just done a clean carb up so will see what happens+

yes! Its so hard to explain but it feels amazing. I first noticed it when i tried fasting

Most people on low carb already know that they do look leaner because they have less water/glycogen weight. Also with keto apparently having muscle sparing properties, its just insulin that could affect and inhibit to build muscle effectively on keto vs high carb (if it is as important as people are led to believe).

Hmm. Energy is not a problem once you're keto/fat adpated. I was wondering whether a low carb ketogenic diet would affect my ability to build muscle, presuming training did not change vs high carb diet

Has anyone else noticed that they feel more aware of their surrounding environment, and that their eyes are easily kept wide open with a constant energy. I prefer the energy i have during a fast vs a fed state

Care to explain, genuinely interested

Oh good. Im hoping for muscle memory because i did not retain as much muscle as i would have liked when i started cutting and couldnt weight train through injury. I agree, consistent DOMS on a deficit could be suboptimal, but restarting a lifting program will no doubt produce DOMS. Reduced volume on a deficit? Why? If…

Thanks, that covered a lot. However DOMS is always worse, and lasts longer IMO when a good workout is put in! So presuming this is the case, there is more damage done to the myofibrils in a good hypertrophy session, thus it takes longer to recover and repair

Thank you! Returned back to lifting after an injury, and hoping for muscle memory at least whilst still being in a deficit interesting

Bought potassium and magnesium supplements today and feeling great :)

If you read what i said im not planning on refeeding again. It was a mistake because i wanted to adapt to fat, not go in and out of keto to refeed. At 30g of carbs a day and over 25 days + on low carbs i think id know if i was adapting to fat haha

Yes i lost a lot of water weight to begin with and did not replace my electrolytes Yes i believe i have :) up until the other day, i just felt generally like *kitten* on the diet. Not because I didn't enjoy the foods(i love fat) or that i was craving carbs (i wasnt), it was just the symptoms of the low carb/keto…

Anyone else on around the 12th day of low carbs (30g of carbs) start to feel good again/fat adapted?

Sorry but a few of people were having a go, with 'bro science' etc and questioning what i was proposing (even when i said i didnt say any of it was of scientific truth). Most of what i wrote has came from information from sites and researching several different sites that i cannot remember the original destination. Thus…

fat-burning beast can effectively burn stored fat for energy throughout the day. If you can handle missing meals and are able to go hours without getting ravenous and cranky (or craving carbs), you’re likely fat-adapted. A fat-burning beast is able to effectively oxidize dietary fat for energy. If you’re adapted, your…

The latter points answer my question about this thread :) i was wondering whether overfeeding calories would compensate for not carbing up Regarding your opinion on the fat adaption, i found a few links that may or may not change your opinion. Not saying the link is reliable either, its where i got the idea from and it…

if thats what you believe fron your own research then thats okay? I really don't care what you personally believe :)

i said do your own research so i didnt get called out like i have. I havent claimed what i have said is correct, just for you to research yourself and conclude what you would like.

correct, i have been specifically talking about keto, not low carb because one can be on 'low" carbs yet not be in ketosis or fat adapted. At first i was trying inform the individual from what i know or have experienced from keto, but constantly getting questioned or asked where my information is from wasjust annoying.…

the body uses fat not very well in the presense of carbs. Do you know what you are talking about? You can be fat adapted and have minimal carb intake? What happens when the small amount of carbs are used up quickly? [/quote] I literally can't even[/quote] Sorry, it was worded badly. What i was trying to portray is that…

exactly. Who needs to find evidence when only us who have gave keto a fair chance have benefitted massively. I for one could not of achieved what i have on a iifym style diet that allows anything, namely malteizers, orange juice daily, coke, deep pan pizzas etc like this guy arguing with me

Dude, i understand low carb hasn't worked for you. Get over it and continue with your diet!

[/quote] Ofc he has no research. He's fell for the bro-science stuff with keto diets. It was evident when I was questioning him on the first page about CICO vs low carb and 'fat adaption'. [/quote] the body uses fat not very well in the presense of carbs. Do you know what you are talking about? You can be fat adapted and…

How low carb are you doing and for how long have you consistently kept your 'low' carbing?

I didnt say it was right, or if i was right. I said its -apparently- got a muscle sparing quality. Once again, do your own research, im not saying mines right http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/keto.htm

I said i dont know how one could possibly stay in ketosis during a reefed. I was agreeing with the person i quoted saying that i had no idea how it would be possible. .
