Ketosis

Just a quick one please...

If it takes two weeks for your body to be in a state of ketosis, would you wait two weeks before doing your carb up day? Or from the first week?

Thanks

Will wait the full two weeks to be honest mate as off the cuff it will usually take your body around 4-5 days to reach a state of ketosis. therefore, if you have a carb-up day in the first week, you will be basically re-intorducing carbs at at time when your body is just becoming primed at utilising fats as its main source of energy.

How are you restructuring your refeed by the way? Are you going for a full-carb up day or are u limiting your refeed to a meal(s)

Two weeks before your first carb up.

250 - 300g carb up... Thanks guys.

The carb up meal should not be planned relative to when ketosis is achieved, it must be planned when your body's metabolism has fully adapted to produce suffice ketones and using fat for fuel. If you carb up on your first week you will see the result won't be good (even counter-productive). Ketosis can actually be achieve in 2-3 days if you do things like: stop eating 6hours before sleeping, fasted cardio and intense lifting. But I'll say it again, that doen't mean you should carb up then.

I'm constantly hungry on this diet. Is it because I'm not getting carbs in? Craving something.

I was also hungry in the beginning but it never lasted long. Now im never hungry, i have to remind myself to eat.

Ok cool. Hope that happens soon. How your progress going Greg?

Good thanks for asking. I got 3kg to loose and im loosing 1.5kg a week so in 2 weeks im at goal weight. :woohoo: :woohoo:

How many Kg do you want to loose?

Nice one, almost there! I'm looking to loose 8 kgs. December I want try a prop and tren ace cycle. I might drop the tren for something else as the guys advise to be carefull with it, butt I would like to try it.

8 Kg is not allot so it will take quick good luck bud. All the best for the cycle in december but i would not go with tren unless you want to compete, the sides are to hectic. Maybe try a NPP and prop cycle, i am going to do that for my next cycle.

Thanks man. Yeah I've read quite a bit about tren ace. NNP is definitely an option. Will see closer to the time. Cheers
