Ive decided to try doing a cyclical ketogenic diet now that Im not lifting at all due to a recent hernia operation.
My question is, would this be a good idea for me seeing as Im doing no lifting and only light to moderate cardio?
I know I need to adjust my carb-up days according to the amount of exercise Im doing, Im just clueless as to how much adjustment needs to be made.
Im currently on Day 2 of the diet and Ill be the first to admit this is not easy. Because carbs are in absolutely everything!!!
But beyond that, Im also looking for possible encouragement during this time as well as any pointers, opinions, and just general good information regarding CKD's.
Im also tracking my calories and such on Fitday.com (not sure if thats against the rules, so if it is feel free to delete that comment)
Yesterday was a good day. I came in waaay over my protein goal, a little high on calories, but right in the zone of 30g carbs for the day and only a little over on my fats.
After doing the original math, Im looking to stay around:
<30g Carbs/day
~185g Protein/day
~221g Fat/day
So far the hardest part is getting in the appropriate amount of fats regularly cause well...its just a big adjustment.
Im gonna do my best to eat lots of ground meats for the next 10-14days or so.
So if anyone has any pointers for me or basically any info that might be a benefit for me, Please post away. Everything logical will be considered.
Thanks
