You gonna love the feeling bro - Ive been on a keto diet for a few weeks and have never ever felt so energised in my life!

I swear I could live on a keto diet - I have no craving whatsoever and I have to actually remember to eat my meals cos im always full.

enjoy

then u are not taking in enough fiber if u are having slow bowel movement,also who is doing your keto diet for u as u might be doing something wrong like too few calories shutting down metabolic rate.how much cardio are u doing? thirst is because the protein and fats act like a diuretic and u will piss out most your water...up your salt intake to hold water...

Thanks for the tips

Those symptoms were experienced when I started, and have adjusted calories and up'd the fibre as I started the diet with very hard cardio 2 weeks ago but have since changed to a moderate intensity cardio.

also changed fat sources which is when I started seeing a difference.

I will definitely get you to customise my diet

Bro u need alot of help.any cardio that gets your heart rate too high is the devil on keto,it will burn into your muscle so quickly and the weight loss u will be seeing is will be mostly muscle,if u have only been doing keto for a couple weeks and have had to adjust things then there is something very wrong,the diets i do for keto is what u get given is the diet for the duration,the things that change are your burners and cardio,i base all cutting diets on lean body mass so if u are not doing that u are in for a world of trouble.i suggest u email me asap and i'll take the guess work out of it for u...

Barbell i would think that the principal of keto is low to zero carb with moderate polyunsaturated fats.so if it is low to zero then would be fine.Im sure DJ will rectify my statement if its wrong

fair enough....Ive read up quite a bit on the diet itself but some finer details need ironing out. Hows it working for you?

I also read that caffiene should be eliminated but on other articles I read it said it would be useful to introduce an ECA stack...comments?

Barbell so far so good.m diet was done by DJ and he said no caffeine ,so no caffine it is.I also read some articles saying eca stack is good.but looking at keto ,why do u need a fat burner when the diet itself is major fat burner.

anyways im on day 2 and just started feeling the effects of glycogen depletion so just waiting to overcome that and i should be in ketosis
