Cravings

[Built]

Yea, that sounds fine. It may be the reason why I went hyperactive last week with the PB and gum, so I definately need to use the carbup time. I was curious about keto, so I tried it for a couple weeks, now, it all makes sense.

Could be quite convenient if I plan my carbup for Wednesdays, my pastry class, we make bread often.

Thanks for your help.

Bingo. Fit it into your lifestyle. Plan to remain active through your carbup - you'll feel better and you'll reglycogenate better.

I wouldnt rec keto. Personally, I dont enjoy the way I feel on it or look with higher fats.

It's funny, some folks love keto, some hate it. Musclegirl already said she likes keto. I do too - I always feel best - and healthiest - on a very high fat diet. Go figure.

Invest into a supplement that offer benefits of shuttling carbs into your body more effiently, something like Need2Slin

I'd hardly recommend telling someone to take a supplement so she can routinely eat a diet that doesn't agree with her. Think about it - that's like as if the American Diabetic Association told type II diabetics to eat a high carb diet, and then take metformin and exercise so they can handle the carbs.

Oh wait, they do. Gotta love Big Pharma.
Fuckers.

That being said, this supplement might be a useful suggestion for the carbups.

I really have no interest in taking anything other than plain protein powder. I was even hesitant to get the powder! lol

There's no need for it. You can use creatine if you like - that'll help you reglycogenate, too, plus it'll load in a bit of creatine. I load 25g creatine during carbups.

It's optional though. The biggest effect will be from diet, and from movement through the carbup (movement translocates GLUT-4 transporters and assists with glucose disposal).

to limit the calorie impact not much. You won't need it much while you're still juicy.
See above.


Then do that.


Limited info about keto? Really?

Read Lyle.

Listen, you need to run a deficit. Do that. Do keto. Eat about 100g each protein and fat daily, keep carbs <50g and be done with it. Keep your calories around 1600 for a bit, see how you feel. If you find after a few weeks you're getting massive carb cravings, have a 5-hour carb refeed, heavy on the white starches, then go back to ketp the next day.

That help?

Just to clarify, that last post you have quoted was NOT made by me.**Fixed** - sorry for the misquote

My understanding is that being in keto for days on end you need a refeed day to replenish glycogen and raise leptin levels, to keep the progress moving along in the right direction. Then most of the calories you're eating are being stored as glycogen in the muscles and NOT being stored as fat, (within reason). IF that is the case it really wouldn't matter if you ate above baseline.

I know when I do a refeed I can hit 8,000-10,000calories in a day and still keep dropping weight, and they are nowhere near all clean calories. I went from 12% BF down to 6% doing this every 14 days.

Depends how lean you are. I was in keto for eight months straight when I did Atkins. I did just fine.

Carbups are very individual. They depend on so many different factors - age, insulin sensitivity, activity level, conditioning??? even Lyle only gives broadly-based guidelines.

Okay, there has to be some science that explains why peanut butter is so appealing.
I can stare donuts right in the face, pass by bagels, my son's cereals, snack foods and all of the other little goodies that non-dieting spouses and ten year olds enjoy...but peanut butter is the one food that causes problems regularly. All I can come up with at this point is that my cravings are due to the combination of both carbs and fat during this RFL.

Sorry for the hi-jack....

Peanut butter...the only food I cannot have in my home. I will eat 1/2 the jar if there is one around..

Haha, I guess you learned the same way that I did. I should get a new jar, but I am thinking it may be for the best if I didn't.

Yes, I did. It's really best for me not to have any peanut butter in the house..

a supplement, such as need2slin, would also help during the refeeds.

i have several clients who run keto, yet still use gda's for refeeds.

SBT, I am very interested in how best to use GDAs during refeeds. Do you have any experience with metformin in this application?

Nice plug for his product. Insulin works 1000 times better than that OTC garbage. I still miss you at AF.

Are you still a Needto sponsored athlete?

Did you ever check out AnabolicPump by USP LABS
