Except it is, I don't get retards like you. It's like you think google and shit doesn't exist. It's probably cause you don't know what that really means & you assume it's meme shit. All that means is that you've been in ketosis so damn long your body enters a state of mitochondrial biogenesis, relax I know big words scare you, all that means is your body creates more mitochondria to accommodate energy demands. You do the same thing every time you work out, but being in ketotsis makes it happen systematically, as opposed to only in muscle tissue.
>>
The reason the ketogenic diet has so many haters is that a lot of people simply don't have what it takes to do it.

It has amazing results and the internet is full of thousands of testimonials, and is literally the most well-studied diet of the last 100 years.
But many people simply don't have the self-restraint and self-control to give up carbs, and they get jealous when they see the amazing results others get.

Keto means you can't eat bread, cake, pasta, cookies, grains, cereal, pretty much all junk food, candy or anything with sugar.
Some people are simply too mentally weak to do this and instead of being honest with themselves they rage against the diet and its proponents and tell themselves it's all about the calories or some shit.
>>
The following is assuming you eat common whole ingredients with decent micronutrient density
Carbohydrates + protein + low fat = good for weight loss, might or might not be optimal for micronutrients can get you by but expect deficiencies especially vitamins B, Vit D, vit A, calcium, omega 3-6 issues etc
Fat + protein + low carbohydrate = still good for weight loss, most optimal for micronutrients
Everything else is plain malnutrition

Wow it's almost like the body is a complex machine that does things wildly differently depending on whether or not certain signals are present at certain times. More like a biochemical equitation rather than basic arithmetic, huh, weird.

Should you do full Keto or can you strategically consume some glucose before a workout for better lifts?

The keto stuff makes sense to me and the evidence seems good but I still don't understand how it works for lifting. You don't get very much emergy from the blood stream during lifts, your muscles use the fuel that is inside them, aka glycogen.

Jeff Nippard told me to consume 3-4g carbs per pound bodyweight for optimal lifts.

What do you do for keto lifting. Do you just rely on super small amounts of glycogen from eating meat?
>>
>>77255730
a reasonable comparison would be 1800 calories with carbs and 1800 calories without carbs

>>77255778
Keto will give me impenetrable abs of steel that will deflect bullets.
>>
>>77255955
Many keto proponents set a carb limit of like 50 grams maximum per day. You could have those right before your workout.

Ideal keto would be zero carb, but you can make that compromise.
Personally I don't see the point since you're usually exercising to cause fat loss, and insulin blocks lipolysis (fat burning).
>>
>>77255955
You'll be sluggish for a bit, bout a week or two, all you have to do is give yourself longer rest periods until you adjust. Your body can get glycogen/glucose from the glyceride back of lipids.
>>
How the fuck do i stop eating carbs? They literally fuel me for pr's and give me the biggest pump i ever had in the gym. Every time i eat carbs and sip on my preworkout coffee i get adrenaline and dopamine pumping through my veins ready to fuck some shit up in the gym. When it try to abstain from carbs and orange juice i lose my pump and get depressed and feel like life is meaningless. Don't get me wrong, i love eggs and red meat and saturated fat in general, but that's only for post workout meals and building muscle, but i can't train and fuck without carbs in my system, not to mention the keto hairloss. God loves carbs.
>>
>>77256079
>God loves carbs.
So maybe shut your SUGAR addicted retarded ass mouth and ONLY eat UNPROCESSED carbs. Ffs, just reading that bullshit, I can feel the pathetic leaking out of you.
>preworkout coffee
Statbucks drinking fat fuck. When you say carbs it's so fucking obvious from your junky faggot tone that you're not talking about fruit & root/vine veggies, you're talking about pasta & chips, and other sugar/salt saturated shit. Thats your pump retard! Water retention!! Don yourself a favor, for just 1 fucking week, 1 week, cut out ALL processes carbs and supplement creatine. I promise by the end of that week you'll either kill yourself like the weak little bitch you sound like, or you'll feel better than you ever have.

>>77256079
>not to mention the keto hairloss
No such thing
t. Have been on it for 2 years previously and been on it for 5 months currently
>>
>>77256101
After the initial adaptation period the brain fog goes away. When I first tried keto I felt like shit for a week and now my body is used to it. Even after stopping keto. Being fat adapted allows me to drop in and out of it without having to go through it again
>>
>>77256101
MCT oil, bypasses liver first past, immediate energy. Put some in your morning coffee. Also, there is a non-natty cheat to accelerating the fat adaptation. Ephedrine! Just go to your pharmacy and ask for "generic bronkaid" cause the pharmacy bitches never know the actual fucking drug name -_-
Aside from all the obvious reasons a stimulant would help with brain fog, ephedrine accelerates your metabolism and kicks lipolysis into high gear. My rough guess is that it could theoretically halve the time it takes to enter the deep ketosis necessary to begin true fat adaptation. But what do I know, my degree is in Kinesology kek
>>
>>77256099
>you're talking about pasta & chips, and other sugar/salt saturated shit
To be honest, my fathers own a sourdough bakery and that's basically my pre-workout carb of choice, 2 slices of sourdough with honey and some butter sometimes. For main meals i eat potatoes and beef or chicken thighs (skin on). For coffee i drink from the local espresso shop and that's it. But i do hold water for some reason.

Why do jeff nippard tell me 3-4 g carb per pound bodyweight for best lifts?
>>
>>77256232
Mkay but every lipid has a glycerol back that can be converted to glycogen/glycerin and after a couple weeks your body adjusts to this so well everything goes back to normal. I guarantee you there is a 0% chance you're going so hard you're burning shit faster than your body can produce it. At most for those first couple weeks you might need an extra minute between sets.
>>
>>77256254
Cause nippard is part of an ingroup of pseudo-intellectuals that only make recommendations that fall within a certain norm and they never go against what academics say is optimal.

What about caffeine? Should I ditch it?

Hell no! So long as you mean literal caffeine and not coffee. Nothing against black coffee mind you, but whats the point in wasting that time & money when you can get caf tabs for like less than a 10th of the price of the shit you have to regularly buy to make coffee. >>77256124
In fact, keep up the coffee and start up this. Caffeine & ephedrine work synergistically to increase the potency & duration of both. Wouldn't advise if you have heart issues or family history of heart defects.
>>
>>77256299
Oh! Also, don't do it during workouts. Lots of idjits back in the day when ephedrine diet pills were everywhere, people had the dumb fucking idea to take all this shit that massively stresses your heart WHILE working out, which yeah it'll increase the burn, but all the risks too. Instead, take it right after a workout. You already have increased passive burn after a workout cause of EPOC, take E+C with a protein shake right after.
>>
>>77254932
>>77254892
I think the whole keto/CICO thing will go on forever and ever because of one really fundamental factor that is literally never established in any of this shit: how many calories are the keto guys eating?

A guy who is eating less than maintenance on keto is clearly just doing a more restrictive version of CICO by another name.
>>
>>77255928
first one is, second one isn't. and im positive you made it through AI now. I accept your concession, no physique posting keto faggot.
>>77255985
Both will produce the same weight change. My point is that people often eat less calorically speaking on keto than they would on a regular diet. They don't understand they just reduced their caloric intake and are losing weight through that and instead blame the carbs.
>>77256340
bingo. It's all calories in, calories out. You could eat 500 calories of ice cream every day and lose weight so long as you track everything else and account for it.

There's plenty of proof that eating more calories on low-carb/keto results in better body composition than less calories with carbs.

The argument will go on forever because most arguments are just lies (cico) against truth (keto). People aren't actually engaged in cooperative truth seeking.

Only 10-15% of your total caloric intake needs to be from fat to optimize hormones. The most extreme studies say 20%.

Keto is not effective. Undoing certain metabolic issues that are a consequence of the modern diet/lifestyle is effective.

For most people keto is not a long-term solution, but like a transient reset of metabolic functions. Fasting does the same thing (also because some of the same processes are involved). For a limited amount of individuals, due to their particular metabolic phenotype, keto is a more adequate long-term approach.

Apropos of nothing, I went back to carnivore, specifically targeting sat fat, and I lot abt 18lbs through Q1 of this year.
I was doing about 1hr of cardio between workout days but dropped that due to performance issues and I finally broke 174 the other day.
Keep in mind, I was stuck at 19.5% bodyfat for YEARS before that doing what was basically PMSF so I could sneak in about 30 beers a week.
Got a blood test back in Jan and it came back around 800ng/dl which really surprised me considering the weight loss, but I only gained strength through all this, so I should theoretically have only lost this 18lbs in pure fat.
