just a quick question as to why?
I was on ketosis for 4 weeks, and lost a bit of fat in week 1, but weeks 2 3 and 4 were so slow. I think I also lost a lot of muscle during this time. I did do carb spikes on weekend so was kind of a CKD diet.
I just don't understand why i'd lose the fastest fat loss the week after I stopped the diet? I was under the impression you'd fill up your glycogen in your muscles quickly and also get that kind of "full" feeling, but also you would gain water weight quickly?
I know i left ketosis within hours, yet lost more fat during that week than during ketosis. Also, after that first week I stopped ketosis I started to gain a little muscle/fat etc.
Can anyone explain this physiological reasoning? I understand muscles are starved of glycogen and they drink up glucose during carb-up periods. Could my muscles have been taking in glycogen for that entire week, while losing fat still? Does anyone think that this means my carb spikes on the weekend weren't enough to replenish glycogen and I should have spent maybe 4-5 days on carbs instead of 36 hours?
Cant' really find many info online about this. I read most people saying that after they stop ketosis their weight just balloons again. maybe its not so immediate and weight gains take another few weeks to kick in?
