One meal is optimal...more than one delays the return to ketosis and slows fat loss...the idea is not to carb up fully...it is only to get some needed glycogen but mainly to avoid the thyroid from lowering conversion. A whole day of carbs would slow fat loss significantly.

Would you be able to space out the carb intake?

What's an "intelligent" cheat meal ? Could it be 1 meal over a period of 2-3 hour ? ;) I had a busy/active day + cardio...i'm HUNGRY and only thinking about tomorow night

low fat chips
piece of lasagna
pancakes with fruits + maple syrup
home made cookie/cake
raisin bran (as a laxative)
0% milk + 50g prot.

is that correct ?

whats the maximum amount of carb I can eat in a day? I was looking at my cashews and they have 15g of carb per 1/3 cup and I tought it was a lot.

typically between 40-60g daily total. try to keep it under 15-20g in any single meal to avoid exiting ketosis.

In my 4th week of the diet. I feel like i'm dissapearing.
I'm down approx 16-17lbs but I lost size :( I hope it's mostly water

Shoulders are smaller and especially arms, 1" smaller

Can i put that "ReaLemon" on my salad (it's the real/fake lemon in a green squeeze bottle)? It says it has 0 calories per 5mL but I'm skeptical.

If not, anything else that people put? I've been eating mostly lettuce but should I switch it up and go for some spinach, brocolli?

If your not sure why not just buy real lemon and squeeze that on ?

It says its 'concentrated lemon juice'. So let me rephrase my question, is Lemon juice ok?

8g of carbs per 100g of juice . So I guess it depends on how much you want to use.

I'm probably overthinking this but is the salad quoted ok (ie. the cucumber)? Green leaf lettuce is ok as well?

supposed to be a green "leafy" salad. Just watch you dont have a serving the size of your bathtub. i believe he says 2 cups ....just keep it green and within moderation

I was reading the posts made earlier about the cardio protocol on a keto diet (begin with 30 mins ED, and increase by 5 mins every week); and I was just wondering, when do you do this cardio? Immediately following the workout? First thing in the morning? Or in the Evening? Thanks!
03-06-2010, 09:02 PM
ubcpower

ideally first thing in the a.m. in a fasted state. second best would be immediately post workout.

ran this diet for a while. I found post workout went well. And then I'd throw in a few in the evening every now and again.

Ah I see! Thanks for the reply guys! I appreciate it!

Just another question, I have a friend that thinks that keto diets aren't as efficient as assessing one's insulin/carb sensitivity and using a carb amount that bests suits them. What can you say to rebut this?

i can tell you right now there is no ****ing way there is 35 grams of sugar in Palumbo's diet, on someone with no knowledge of ketogenic diets would post such nonsense
08-02-2011, 11:44 PM
Talo

I would also find that very hard to believe .

Also I don't think there is over 50g of carbs.
08-02-2011, 11:47 PM

maybe if 35 were fiber but 35 sugar sound ****ing nutballs to me

I will. I have altered it a little. Adding in green vegetables with each meal.

I solved this problem by replacing 2 shakes + pb for fish/chicken + nuts/pb

only shake was post workout

I will and does get much easier . Switching a shake for food is fine too if you have time to cook :)

Personally I find that by the time I get hungry its time to eat anyways. 6 meals isnt always easy to get in.
