Hello Guys,
I needed your advice please.. I been on a cyclical keto type diet since last July.. I took a hiatus off the diet in November and back on track... I went back to maintenance level calories for a while..
So generally, I consume mostly protein and fats during the week with a controlled carb period during the weekend.. I do have some carbs post workout which I think is extremely important especially with doing HIIT as often as I do.. I do boxing cardio during a lunch time period too
Im training intensely, doint HIIT cardio as well and my strength is only reduced by 20%, still maintaining poundages on all compound exercises, and I swear to God Im gaining muscle too. I am down to about 10% b.f. and I will like to continue on this coure for another few months till I get down to single digit body fat... Im not competing just yet.. its for my own sake I am getting this cut up to see what I got to show.. I already got great delt separation but am continuing till my abs need cleaning with a q-tip. lol ( I was up to 225 lbs in 2007March and a bit pudgy, hence the time to diet down...
I got tonnes of energy.. I feel my body responds best to this than the low carb which really does a number on me.. I could never do low carb without cravings and the low energy feeling.
But I been warned that I am setting myself for very dangerous levels of keto in my body and Im poisoning my system? :blink:
Anyone did this cyclical keot for extended periods?
I do take breaks from my dieting protocol but I figure I need to keep on course and I dont see this as being harmful or negative. I know any dieyt down too long is bad but I keep my body guessing.. Sometimes, I may even take a mid week carb spike!
I consume a gallon of water a day and I wont even say its a VERY STRICT keto since I do have a bit mroe carbs post workout. If I dont ever consume those carbs, I flatten out like a pancake...
I am keeping track and listening to my bod...
Any advice and reassurance will be most appreciated!
