Cheers for taking the time to reply, appreciate the advice. Will defo stick at it and see if the strength returns in a month or so.

Also - i was literally thinking of trying 25g of cyclic dextrin (doesnt raise insulin levels apparently) before the workout. That would take me to 50g carbs for the whole day, so I imagine I wouldnt even leave ketosis by trying this?!

Been on keto for few weeks (my second time on keto), and find my strength goes pretty quick, and my lifts are already suffering. Otherwise I feel great and have a constant supply of energy. I didnt lose much mass at all before on SKD, but was a bit bummed out about the strength loss, and felt a bit flat in the muscles.…

I find whipping cream mixed with cocoa powder and a couple grams of sucralose helps (chocolate mousse!!), as does 85% dark chocolate! and add a dash of willpower for good measure!!

whats your maintenance calories meant to be? I would start out just 300 calories below that and see how you go. Bear in mind a lot of the weight you lose in the first week will be water loss. After the first two weeks you will notice a more steady path of weight loss, and sometimes you will even feel bloated for a week,…

Get some whipping cream! I love it and it seems to go a lot further than double. Add two or three tables spoons of cocoa powder, add some sweetener and hey presto, chocolate mousse thats keto friendly. I could never eat double cream fast enough, it would always go off pretty quickly

Hi again, I took your advice, and im 3 weeks in with no refeeds, and noticing great fat loss, reduced appitite, and more level energy throughout the day.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I used Ketostix to test for ketone levels. I felt a massive struggle first 3 days of cutting carbs to 25g, then my energy levels went right up and I felt good most of the week, which indicated I was now using fat for fuel. First few days were tough as I guess my body was still trying to use carbs…
