Good lifting bro!!Im curious about something though.Do you test yourself to see if you are in Ketosis?

The reason why im asking is because your protein intake is really high and from a few people who have studied the keto diet protein should be about 1gram(or a tad more) a pound of bodyweight.The reason why they say protein should be low is that the body might possibly transform(called glucogenesis) the extra protein into carbs and be used as fuel.

Are you taking any glucose disposal supplements like ALA?This will help with your insulin rising in case glucogenesis takes place.

By the way they sell ketostrips(about 8$a box) in pharmacies and all you have to do is urinate on them in the morning when you get up to see if you are in ketosis or not..

well i dont know if im in ketosis or not but my urine get more shiny, id like to believe its the excess ketones getting pissed out, i honestly dont care either way, POINT: i lose fat on keto diet and its easy for me to stick with, my brain is getting some fuel from the excess protein or fat, and the body must use the glucogenesis, the body cant utilize mass amounts of protein and whatever it doing use for biological processes and synthesis is broken down through glucogenesis that is my understanding on the subject

Bro..i dont know how you do it!!I would starve myself with a diet like that.Im sure if you can stick with it you will have amazing results.But for me,at 197lbs(depleted) i have trouble eating anything less than 2500cals a day(6 meals).I litteraly walk back and forth all evening from the kitchen just thinking about my next meal.

You must feel some hunger in there right?Or do you get use to it once you are in ketosis?For me ketosis helps a bit with the hunger,but not much.

umm i had to sneak a spoonfull of peanut butter last night i was hungry but because i keep my steak meals till night and have 2 of em so after that meat im really digesting and i dont need nymore food, steaks even with trimmed fat are hard to get down. How do u flavor your steaks ricky i dont have a ****ing barbeque so im stuck with pan grilled or baked.

Good job thus far! You should NOT be doing 181BPM cardio on a keto diet!!! This is very counterproductive. 120BPM MAX. Also keto sticks are pretty much useless if you're training daily. You will be burning ketones for fuel therefore less spill in urine don't waste your time. You also need to up your fats, also consider adding some egg whites to your whole eggs.

Going to read your whole thread now, but again good job.. just a few changes to maximize fat loss efficiency.

yea man the 181 was doing cardio at the previous level where i only went up to 130bpm. I had a asthma issue and i couldnt get a full intake or expelling of air this had to play a role in the heartrate. I am extremely unconditioned now and i am going to get my heart rate back to normal.
Do egg whites have fat or was that on top of adding fat?

I dont train daily i train 3x a week

Well bro we dont really have many options on a keto diet.Ill flavor my steaks either with montreal steak spice(from clubhouse),Franks hotsauce,or just plain low calorie Ketchup(5cals a Table spoon).I also use salsa sometimes for a change.

yea ricky all i want to do is smother my steak in BBQ sauce lol
