Do you ever stop being exhausted in the gym on keto?
I tried it for like two weeks once and I was already spent after like 5 sets. And it makes sense, since your body has no glycogen on keto. So how the fuck are you supposed to lift, someone explain this shit
This, keto is for cardio and weight loss. Protien synthesis requires more glycogen than triglycerides can provide.
Benjamin Flores
you're not supposed to try to gain on keto. how did you miss this point?
Grayson Nelson

Shower in the gym
Isaac Johnson
keto is for cutting, not for bulking
Adrian Davis
Carbs are needed for effective workouts, keto is fine for rapid fat loss but so is doing a mid-low carb + cardio routine.
Seriously, just walk more and you'll get the same fucking results without royally fucking your diet.
Jaxon Edwards
>rapid fat loss how? I've been doing keto and I lost 5 lbs in 2 weeks is that good enough?
Julian Wood
No idea what your BF % or body is like so impossible to tell
Cooper Cook
sorry BF% is 19-20, weight is now 190.6 lbs and my body type is around skinnyfat but I'm not sure
Matthew Wood
wait till week 4 of it, you may want to add in some additional cardio. Keep in mind keto is working because it isn't getting most of it's energy from carbs and has to start finding sources elsewhere. Cr1tikal has a really good overview on how keto works.

Daniel Green
was considering doing weight lifting after plateauing for 2 weeks straight from 40 pounds lost in 2 month (no cheat days, no carb refeeds)I was gonna try bulletproof coffee to see if its really just the lack of fats, and the extra protein killing me.
would spending money in the gym be pointless until I go down to the weight I want to start lifting?
Aiden Wilson
yea I guess I have to now, I already run and walk everyday but it's time to do more, I'm trying to get to 170. Some days though it's extremely hard not to eat carbs since they're in everything
Wyatt Sullivan
I plateud for two weeks. I was counting my exercise in my fitness pal and screwed me up. Now I don't count it and I'm losing weight much faster. Time to hit the exercise bike. Maybe I'll try playing fallout 4 this time.
Cooper Thomas
>I was counting my exercise in my fitness pal and screwed me up.
Wait people actually use my fitness pal? I've found it to be the most useless site
Jason Howard
Thing is I never once did exercise when I lost these 40 pounds. I usually ate once at day at 700-900 calories for weekdays, and 1200-1400 for weekends. I recently cut out crap I thought would be good for me like the 1 packet of vanilla creme, and yogurt blue cheese, and usually get down to 10-15 net grams of carbs a day. out of those 10-15g, half of that comes from the fiber power I put in my water.
John Harris
Yeah I got a 795 day streak.
I did the low calorie no exercise thing before. It works. I lost a lot of weight. Lost a lot of muscle also. I was weak as hell with too high of body fat. Now I'm lifting and doing cardio. Working well. Lost 14 pounds since April 30th and my body is more muscular.

Xavier Wilson
It fails pretty badly in both of those categories too unless you think "cardio" is walking on a treadmill at 60% VO2max and "weight loss" is eating any junk you want at a caloric deficit.
Camden Parker
Keto sucks for lifting. My sets are a few low rep/high weight and finish exercise off with low weight/high rep for form work.
Yes ,try doing any serious biking of running on keto .
It's close to fucking granny tier once you get past the first 40 min .
Cameron Allen
Stop doing keto , it's a meme even for fat loss if you do exercice .
Fats burn in the flame of the carbohydrate .
Nicholas Turner
Nah, I like eating fatty food.
Oliver Adams
But it's literally useless , a small serving of meat and an agg + a slice of cheese will give you everything you could possibly need from fat , that'll hardly be more than 600 Kcals of fat , so around 70g , there is no point to eat more fat at this point , you could fill the rest with carbs to perform better in any physical discipline .
Chase Hall
Make sure you're running keto correctly. Fat should be 70% of your calories. If your eating too much protein that will kick you out of keto. Shouldn't exceed .8g per lb of lbm.
Might seem difficult but once you're fully into keto the hunger cravings and energy loss will go away.
I'm running the sheiko cms/ms template right now on keto. I'm down from 225 to 193. Have lost minimal strength. Definitely increased working capacity though. Still not doing any form of cardio.
Caleb Cook
look into Targeted Keto diet
Cameron Myers
Caffeine you retard.
Benjamin Peterson
I agree, but I'm running zone 2/granny tier speeds, so it suits me. Ain't looking to bust a nut, just pump some blood.
Gavin Taylor
But you could go faster and farther during the same amount of time with carbs , you'd burn more total calories , as much or more fat , and you'd make way better heart gain .
Ethan Davis
That video is so cringe
Carter Wood
You don't know this anons work capacity. As he has stated he's not doing some crazy routine. Keto is fine for cardio.
Jaxson Ortiz
>just pump some blood
Not very helpful there either
Isaiah Ross
that video is so /r/cringeanarchy, and not at all /r/mildyinteresting or /r/good
Tyler Adams
>don't eat keto because it's bad for the environment
lmao I'm not going to ruin my health because some indian won't use a condom
Dylan Fisher
>you could fill the rest with carbs to perform better in any physical discipline .
this will give you diabetes
Michael Morales
>carbs cause diabetes
Noah Morgan
OP its very very likely that you weren't truly in ketosis. If you are eating too much protein you will pop out.
Joseph Hughes
one thing that i found helped is to take a good chunk of your carb limit for the day before the gym, so you have access to all 3 macros when you're hittin the weights
Anthony Edwards
You're going to have to explain this to me user. The only difference i see is subject (2) and subject (3).
Zachary Reyes
>literally mom science.
Sebastian Gutierrez
I have a hire body fat % than you. I still have been drinking a tad on the weekends just gin and diet tonics. But I'm cutting that out completely, and I'm currently down 27 lbs. Haven't even started cardio yet.
Thomas Walker
This, I can still hit a lma2pl8 bench for 10x3 then a lmao2pl8 incline 10x3 on keto for about a month. Haven't lost much strength at all have lost about 30 lbs tho.
Christian Evans
Do you guys recommend Keto if I'm trying to lose weight through lifting and dieting?
Brayden Young
>If your eating too much protein that will kick you out of keto. Shouldn't exceed .8g per lb of lbm.
for most people the "eating too much protein will kick you out of keto line" is something that you have to TRY to get to. It's a fuckload of protein to knock you out of it, i've found.
also what are some good staple foods if i can't afford steak for every meal. Does fatty ground beef work the same? i've been scraping by with bacon, dark meat chicken, and snacking on pepperoni and nuts
Connor Stewart
>"weight loss" is eating any junk you want at a caloric deficit.
Works for me. Only way I can still have cake and pizza 6 times a week.
Benjamin Davis
The postprandial/alimentary lipemia after every meal on your meme diet is not conducive to blood pumping.
Mason Harris
Keto is the literal "starvation mode". It's how your ancestors stayed alive when they continually came back empty handed from the hunt, it's how people today survive being lost at sea for weeks/months, and it's helpful for people with certain kinds of epilepsy and 'beetus.
Keto as a choice of diet is a meme. You'll probably gain back most of what you lose, which is a common and easily Google-able side effect, and you will lose muscle mass. Stop looking for shortcuts. Cut your calories by/or burn 500 a day until you reach your goal, or 1000 a day if you're above 20% bodyfat until you get to 20% and then do 500 until you reach your goal. If you're sensitive to carbs, run your macros, cut the carbs almost in half, up the fat to equal everything out and go from there.
Jayden White
This. I still eat like shit, but just eat less shit
Your ancestors didn't crutch on a diet of Panera Bread and Greek yogurt. Carbs are probably the least readily available macronutrient. If anything keto is the default metabolic state because carbs in high enough quantities to break keto are hard to achieve from hunting/gathering.
