    Ketogenic Diet = Best Diet for Dropping Fat ASAP?

    Okay guys, a few friends of mine signed me up to a local contest. Not really a bodybuilding show---but a best body contest at a local bar/club. I definitely need to drop about 15 lbs. of flab! I want to do this as soon as physically possible---I am thinking a TKD?

    Please HELP!

    I am thinking maybe push/pull/legs routine with a good amount of volume?

    Well , depending on the lap of time you have on your hands.

    1.Reduce your calorie intake and fat intake (duh!)
    2. Do some cardio ---> aim for a hearth rate of 150-160 ---> This is what has worked the best for me . As you can see in my galeries , I have lost a lot of fat .
    3. If youre really in a hurry , maybe try some fat burners . I havnt used any to date , but I know some that some people have good results with that.

    Hope this can help you .
    When a goal is reached comes satisfaction . You're accomplished as a person when you surpass those goals .

    IMO, I wouldn't waste my time with a TKD. CKD's are much easier to stick to and the carb loads kick ass

    Jodi, thanks for chiming in. But in terms of rapid fat-loss, do you really think that a CKD is my best option? And with a TKD I think you manage to keep your workouts a bit more intense, don't you? Simply because you're taking in some simple sugars preworkout, etc.

    And in terms of my training I am not huge on cardio as most of you know, so I am thinking maybe more volume, and shy of failure? I was thinking a basic push/pull/legs split.

    Or I might even do a chest/shoulders/triceps on one day and back/legs on the other day. I am just trying to figure out the best way to layout my training. Because I am looking for more calories burned. And I think doing more bodyparts more often will burn the most calories.

    have you tried AM & PM training sessions ? it's a great way to increase the RMR, insulin sensitivity and GH output...
    I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

    I think TDK or CKD would both work if you stick with it
