Ketosis and Stronglifts 5x5

Yeah, sure

I don't have discord unfortunately
How about Steam, pidgin, telegram?

Thanks for the input

>too much protein will knock you out of ketosis.
Yeah, that was my concern also. At 10% surplus I get around 2000kcal.
Ketogains calculates 163g of protein.

I want to stay on Keto not because I want to punish myself or get extra gains, but because it's the best thing that happened to my life in quite a while. It's delicious and I feel great.

You can add me on steam steamcommunity.com/id/Shoshomiga

I've been eating over 200g of protein for a few days and I feel fine

If you mainly like the food why would you worry about staying in strict ketosis mode?

If you want to stay on Keto, then stay on keto man. Just be sure to supplement with an electrolyte product (I really like the raspberry Ultima replenish) and possibly a cal-mag-zinc supplement as well. Multivitamins are also good, and using MCT like coconut oil can give you energy all day between meals. Remember to hydrate excessively, especially if you drink coffee the body uses a lot more water in a keto metabolic state.

All the people who say keto is a meme diet have probably never suffered from inefficient insulin processing like you and others have. Living a life based on carbohydrate highs and lows is a miserable existence.

Look around you in society and observe what all the normies and idiots are eating in excess: carbs and sugar. So, don't do that. See where it gets you.

Remember when the fucking USDA told an entire generation of kids they needed 8-10 servings of bread a day? But should only eat sugar and sweets sparingly?

Your body processes that bread into glucose, so there's really not much difference except dietary fiber which you can get (much more healthily) from vegetables.

All the mindless foods like French fries, potato chips, etc are like a drug to your little rat hindbrain. Your tolerance to that drug increases with excessive use. This is how people develop diabetes.

Carbohydrate overload is the leading cause of obesity and heart disease in the developed world. Ignore the naysayers. If it's working for you and makes your life better, you don't really have a reason to stop.

If you find yourself lacking in energy, consider using Phenylalanine (sometimes in conjunction with Tyrosine) before your workouts to help keep your CNS on point.

Keto is difficult (at first), socially maladjusted (society is cancer), and requires a lot of research and self-regulation. That's why it's not for everyone.

As for me, I'll keep calm and Keto on since it helps, it works, and it is fucking delicious.

Hey mate

Thanks for your input.
Exactly, those are the conclusions I've drawn over the past weeks also.

What do you do in social situations? Like a dinner with family or friends that would knock you out of keto?

I feel terrible in the phase of re-entering keto once I'm knocked out.

If you're tracking your calories right there's no real reason why you can't eat fatty foods AND have carbs. You won't be in ketosis but if its the taste that you like then you're really just missing out by not having carbs.

Just ask the waiter if you can sub something in place of carbs. Plenty of places wouldn't mind subbing a salad or vegetables in place of potatoes, rice, chips, etc, just avoid crutons and try to get olive oil instead of a dressing.

If anybody gives you shit for it, just say you've eaten a lot today and only want a light dinner.

I haven't been able to reconcile alcohol with keto quite yet so I just avoid it. It has lots of calories and really kicks in carb cravings, not to mention the dehydration.

It's ridiculous how many people will just blindly defend a carb based diet to you, even though they themselves are 50+ lbs overweight. It's almost like their gut is controlling their brain, instinctively justifying its consumption habits. Very very strange.

Carbohydrates are insidious, pointless and they're everywhere.

Now ask yourself: why?

...

ketosis emulates a state of starvation.
you will not be able to build muscle easily, specially if you don't have god tier genetics.

just eat fucking normally please.

Source?

Or are you just talking out of your ass?

Do you even know why keto became a thing?
Keto is literally intended for emulating a fast which is literally only useful for people with specific health issues like epilepsy or very sedentary lifes.

Keto causes adrenal fatigue, thyroid issues, can destroy your gains and makes it very difficult on your food choices.

What's stupid is that it isn't even better than non keto for losing fat and gaining muscle.
In fact a good ammount of carbs and proteins and low fats will be far better for it.
Carbs help protecting muscles from protein breakdown in caloric defficits, giving you a higher muscle protein synthesis balance at the end of the day.

It takes a lot of protein to knock you out of keto. Don't worry about it. Still get 0.8 to 1g of protein.

Keto works.

BUT MUH CARBS ARE WHAT BUILDS MUSCLES

no you fucktards. Protein synthesis will still happen in keto.

Normies and fatfucks who do keto don't eat enough protein cuz they're afraid of being out of keto.

If you lift, get a lot of protein.

Do targeted keto OP

Once your are in ketosis, which you seem to already be, you have 50-70g carbs around your workout when you want to use them, and keto the rest of the time. It's not ideal for hypertrophy, but you can surely get stronger and lose fat this way.

Personally I like a beer or a sweet potato after my workouts, and maybe some maple syrup in my coffee pre-workout.

There's no way you're not based Canadian poster.
