Am I making a mistake, combining a keto diet and shortcuts to shred from body building.com?

It seems high intense weight training?

Any advice?

I'm not your guy, buddy. <-- South Park
This seems to be a topic of great debate. I feelthat high intensity cardio is to be avoided but weight training on the other hand is different. I feel weight training is extremely anabolic in nature and you won't lose muscle as long as you are training to failure.

Go ahead friend

Generally keto calls for long periods of steady state cardio, to 1. Preserve Muscle and 2. Because energy levels are low.

As for resistance, you want to deplete glycogen stores completely. So train hard...
Then refeed like a beast, to do it all over again!

Hi Pyro

The shortcuts to shred its a resistance training program that incorporates cardio exercises between your sets for 1 minute. Maybe you've seen it on bodybuilding.com. its structured in a way that, in some weeks you do heavy lifting low reps and in some, light weight high reps. The cardio can be anything, battling ropes, kettle bell swings, bench step ups, jogging in place etc for a minute. But i will do the program and i will share my experience with it.

What is the advantage of incorporating this style of training with a keto diet?

According to Jim, the program is designed to help with the the reduction of bf. I have looked at his suggested meal plan and i was just experimenting with the training plan and a keto diet. But did not go far with the training program. I learned that with keto, training should be low intense to preserve muscle loss.
Thats why i was concerned about this style of training. I thought i knew what kind of training should i follow for my goal. i know i should do long low intense cardio, but as for weight training thats when i decided to check bodybuilding.com

and another thing i liked about the program is the alternation of exercises and weight used as you progress in the weeks. If on a keto, maybe i will do exercises suggested but cut out the accelerated cardio and increase rest time to 90 sec

2nd week. Upper body was sore last week but no pain no gain. Looking forward to this week. Burn fat burn burn burn!!!!!!!

The Keto Urine sticks are pretty unreliable as a measure. When you are starting out they overestimate the level of ketones in the blood as it's measuring the ketones in your pee, your body produces the ketones but is not able to use them yet. Once you are adapted the pee ketone level drops, and could indicate you not in ketosis, even if you are, as the ketones stay in your blood and are burned. The only meaningful measure is the blood ketone meters (you can get them at some Dishchems) or a breath ketone meter (haven't seen in SA). The pee sticks are made for diabetics to measure for ketoacidosis where the ketone level is massive 10+ and glucose is high - a dangerous combination. In ketosis your blood ketone level will never go above about 4, will bump between 1.5 and 2.5 normally and your glucose will be low

Stats Update

Weight: 94kg (93.3kg)

Quads are starting to shape as usual. Upper body, chest getting there a bit and abdomen starting to flat out.

Can anybody perhaps assist me with an easy to follow sensible eating plan? I am trying to bulk and cut simultaneously.

Welcome Tazz. A diet means nothing if you don't understand it. A diet means less than nothing if you didn't invest anything in it because you will flake the first time weight loss stops. Go and read the dieting section. Every thread. Ask ten questions, then ask one hundred. Show me how bad you want it and make me believe in you. Post a good diet and ask us to criticize it. Then I will help you.

Hi guys

Which option is better when counting/calculating calories and weighing food.

1. To count everything as raw then put it on myfitness pal?

2. Cook everything then weigh after?

All in all which option is most accurate?

My fitness pal should allow you to specify whether it's a raw measurement or cooke... For example oats are specifically weighed dry.

As long as you specify your option you should be fairly accurate.

I prefer raw/dry Weights purely because I find it easier

Thanks MM. Cause i usually weigh my breasts and steaks raw the when i cook or fry them they would weigh less. Eg 200g raw steak my come to 140-150g after frying or cooking. Somehow that confused me in terms of how many grams im actually eating

How are the other guys doing it?

For me always raw weights.

Hi guys

Hi guys.

With a tight budget, what can i eat or substitute with for my healthy fats if i can't get almonds?

I already use olive oil.

And peanut butter. Black cat also has a range now with no sugar

Why don't you rather use Canola Oil or Sunflower Oil? Butter? Much cheaper than Olive Oil. Even though keto is a relatively cheap diet, the nuts are expensive so are avocados. Stick to the peanut butter for nuts.
