    I eat red meat but not sure if it grain or grass fed - something I should look into.

    Would CLA be a good addition to my keto diet? I don't eat any dairy products.

    When I was doing it id have a higher carb day on Thursday and Sunday but can't recall how many carbs I was having on my high carb days. and was only having carbs post workout on my low carb days. Might be something to touch on again when I need to mix it up a little

    Ketosis and sleep.

    Yes I've tried carb cycling before and didn't really enjoy it. Where as with this keto diet I have so much energy and as long as I have coconut oil pre workout I have no struggles getting through my workout. However I am going to need to spike my insulin post work out if I want to build muscle...

    Ketosis and sleep.

    Haha yes my dreams have been getting pretty crazy!! Other night I'm just waking up regularly and waking at 2:30am each morning regardless of the time I go to bed. It's not bothering me but I do worry about the effects in cortisol.

    Ketosis and sleep.

    Oh okay cool 20lbs - pretty good effort. Good guidelines there. I'm in my 4th week of getting leaner and will need to build some more muscle soon. What changes do you suggest there? Carbs post workout and otherwise keep eating keto?

    Thanks - I had a dessert last week would that be enough for a carb up or not really??

    Ketosis and sleep.

    I've actually found a keto diet really easy. Only thing that worries me is the small amount of sleep I'm getting.

    Ketosis and sleep.

    True! They do say a pound a week - I always get confused with a kg a week.

    Ketosis and sleep.

    Okay thanks - I don't think I've carbed up properly over the last 3 weeks and weight loss has slowed to less than a kg In the past 7 days - maybe a good carb up will get my system burning again!

    Ketosis and sleep.

    I have been doing proper keto diet for 3 weeks now with less than 25g of carbs per day. Since starting that I've come down from 59kgs to just under 56 and must say I feel less bulky and the layer of fat that was covering my abs is pretty thin now. But what I have noticed is that my sleep...

    Muscle gain for women.

    I'm 56.5 kgs so 124lbs. Another trainer put me at 1350cals saying that that would put me in a deficit of 500 so I just went with that. 125lbs x 15 = 1876cal - 500 = 1376 Is this not a good formula to be using?

    Muscle gain for women.

    Thanks spaniard that's really good. Yeah I'd like to stay lean and gain a bit of muscle at the same time. When adding additional calories do they need to come from carbs? Or does it not matter?
