Article: Gaining Muscle On Ketogenic Diet

Great article thanks for posting. I've been on a bulking diet since august or september of 2013. It's time for me to take some of the fat off thats accumulated. I'm interested in trying a ketogenic diet. My one question is, do you aim for under 50g of carbs the entire time? Or do you have a carb-up day say once a week to restore glycogen in the muscles?
 
2-4 weeks at the onset of a ketogenic to get become "fat adapted." After this period do a carb up once a week.

Personally, I ran a keto diet for 7 weeks and my energy tanked because I wasn't carbing up. The carb up is amazing. Some go for a planned, scientific approach with pushing carbs to 70% of their caloric load and others just go for a straight up binge.

I train 3-4 times a week, full body with periodization and on sunday or saturday I eat like I get paid for it.
 
Great article. One quick question. I have read alot about hormone responses and am getting mixed responses whether testosterone and Igf-1 increase or decrease. Basically what im asking is, is this diet cause anabolism when bulking?
 
I've been on a keto diet for several months now and I just a couple of weeks ago set a PR on both squat and deadlift. I have actually seen some strength gain in other areas as well.

If keto diets worked the pros would use it, but they don't. Keto is whack.

The pros don't use it cuz the pros are taking drugs . Keto diet is not wack for natural athletes it's for people that have discipline and are serious about reaching their specific goals. Lol do what the pros do without performance enhancing drugs and see where that gets you

I don't need the pros to tell me what to do because I've researched human physiology. All that protein gets turned into glucose. Keto also makes the body acidic.
 
I was just sayin the real reason they don't use it is cuz they don't need too not cuz it doesnt work haha And yes amino acids can form into glucose glad if your body really really needs it. Keep researching it's the bet way to learn I'm sure u know

The pros know that they need carbs. The body's first source of fuel is carbs. Carbs are anabolic. Keto is good for short term fat loss but I would hate to be in a keto state for a long time.
