ok I will try to walk u through this a point at a time.
ok... chew on that and we will continue.
1. no you are NOT limited to that specific food list.......if not, don't do this. it does nothing to help you get into ketosis in particular.
Well, I looked at a lot of recommendations on keto diet from people and found that almost all proteins that don’t have carbs are either meat or fish or eggs. So, I am left with only whey and cheese. Yes, I think, I can use a lot of cheese types, however, I found these two to be quite low in carbs and high in fat and protein. Additionally, a lot of fat sources had carbs in them. I just tried targeting the total carbs per day to be not more than 20-25 gms.
Regarding the glycogen fact, well, I am a Vince Gironda fan so read this stuff in his books. I know it is quite old school but then his methods have helped me a lot and I think a lot of people. Here is what he called a ‘Definition diet’
There has always been considerable mystery and misconception concerning a diet that promotes muscle definition. For the most part, all carbohydrates must be removed from your menu. The only milk products that can be used are butter and cream. Meat, fish, and eggs are the only foods permissible. You must, however, eat a high-carbohydrate meal every four or five days (i.e., pasta, potato, grain, fruit); otherwise your muscles will smooth out and your strength will decrease. When dieting to lose fat, the use of lipotropic or fat-burning agents are helpful. They don't perform miracles, but they do speed up results. The main lipotropics are the B vitamins choline and inositol, which aid in the production oflecithin, enabling the liver and gall bladder to metabolize fats more readily and efficiently. I recommend that 250- 1000 mg be taken with meals. Other lipotropics that should be taken are the amino acid methionine, betaine hydrochloric acid, liver and yeast tablets, B complex, kelp, alfalfa, Vitamin C, tri-germ, wheat germ, and fish oils.
The above diet works so well for defming muscles because fats are used as a source of fuel for the body. Since it is difficult for the body to convert fat into energy, this results in a loss of your existing body fat. Finally, I recommend that you take a layoff of 3-5 days from all supplements every third week, while abstaining from them one day each week. Also, remember to have a high-carbohydrate meal with no protein every third or fourth day to replenish glycogen to your muscles.
I think even he was advising ketosis to burn fat!! But I know that a carb meal after every 3 or 4 days will interfere with the ketosis per se. So, your advice is to first get adapted to this diet in a month or two and only then think of using any carb-ups?
2. there is a difference between heavy crème and whipped crème. ones full of sugar.. the other is not.
Are you referring to heavy cream such as Tuscan Heavy Cream? Somehow, I am not able to find heavy cream nutrition contents online. The nutrition contents that I posted for whipped cream are I guess wrong. 100 gm whipped cream has 12 gm carbs, so can’t use it. Please let me know the nutrition contents and/or any links to heavy cream.
3. if you would like know how to get into keto in under 72 hrs then ...... u don't want the ole 1 step forward two steps back to happen.
Yeah, that’s right. So, is it necessary to keep the calorie intake less than the maintenance? Or will the diet allow fat burn even on maintenance?
4. save your money on the l-glutamine. it does absolutely nothing for you but give you terrible gas. just having a protein shake after a work out will do far more for you than l-glutamine ever would.
Sure!
5. L-carn is great.. take a full serving with every meal. the pl-carn .....upcoming carb ups.
I read some reviews on L-Carn and they are mixed (there’s skepticism around its abilities to burn fat).
Cinnamon – Does this help preserve muscle during carb-ups? I can eat Cinnamon as a spice per se or do I need to buy cinnamon extract tablets and then eat how many? Two tablets three times a day? The idea is if I will be low on carbs, my blood sugar will be low. Cinnamon will act as an insulin mimic to balance that?
6. GDA will be used primarily to push any circulating glucose out of the ...... and its cheap!
I am sorry but I couldn’t follow you here much. Why do I need to deplete the muscles of the glucose? Arent they already depleted of it due to the keto diet?
7. I mentioned a product called heart help by I force.. its not a must have but its definitely a good supplement to use when your going to be guzzling butter!
Ok, so Heart help by iforce is to control the cholesterol levels due to butter/cream. That’s fine.
8. forsk95 and a fat burner can totally be optional. forsk is cheap ...... economical purchase.
Ok, so dexaprine is in but I should take it only on carb ups?
9. I personally believe there is not much to worry about heart wise.. I don't think this diet will cause issues (I only mention heart help as a means to optimize your ldl/hdl) EC or clen would be fine but just like the dexaprine its not needed but can be of use.
P.S.
1. Sorry for the late reply. I was engrossed with a lot of things off late
2. I tried shooting you a PM but it says I cant unless you delete some of your messages as your quota has already reached
3. A very happy new year
4. I was on a 'stupid' cycle of test e for 6 weeks - 250,250,500,500,500,250. I didn't use the HCG during the cycle but I am using right now as week 7 and week 8 , 2000 i.u. each , week 9-12 will be clomid 50/50/25/25 and exemestane 12.5/12.5/12.5/12.5
Right now, I am in week 8 but my face still looks bloated with water retention. My weight is also high due to water. I am thinking to start keto for fat loss only after the complete PCT of 4 weeks or after 1-2 weeks of a 2 week PCT (If i decide to run a shorter clomid and exemestane PCT). Will that be fine?
