Hey guys, hope ur all doing well, i started a thread a couple of days ago about the ketogenic diet but on a different forum since i was asking about different details but i really need some help and if any keto experts would care to chime in i would be extremely grateful.
My stats
6'1
202 lbs
Not very accurate on body fat especially since ive been dieting from 222 lbs but i would say 14-16% to be safe and just to give u an idea.
My goal is to get to 10% body fat.
Now i wanted to start the keto diet as i am seeing it being brought up much more and zyzz back in the day did use this diet(incoming hate), now i know zyzz is hated on most of the time but lets just talk about the ketogenic diet, one important thing u should know is that my body holds a good amount of water, like i cant take creatine or my face will blow up(past experience), so i wanted some experienced users or possibly experts on this matter to tell me what they think about the ketogenic diet and mainly issues like strength loss as i have been experiencing this a bit but mostly endurance loss is my biggest issue while cutting( my deficit has been between 500-750 max during this cut), how well can i train without carbs as i do lift heavy especially on compounds, since im a bodybuilder ive also been told i cant follow the traditional 75% fat as protein would be too low and i am looking to increase my deficit to around 1000 below maintenance later on(forget muscle loss as i will lets just say be using a bit of aid later on) so that being said how will i fix my protein and fat ratio?
Thanks in advance to all. If needed i can link the diet i have been told by a fellow coach to do which is around 50% protein 45% carbs 5% fat.
