Let me get this straight, when you come off a keto diet you can experience lethargy from adding carbs back in? how slowly are u suspossed to add them back in?

Start with about 30g per meal.

Most people are lethargic on a low carb diet to begin with. You could fight this by using a ton of carbs right away but then your diet would have been for nothing

This thread is interesting. I'm currently on a carb cycle and making very very slow progress and hesitant to drop my calories much lower.

Since I just cooked all my rice etc. for the week I think I'll switch over to this starting next week.

I'm 6'1" 183 but I think I'll directly follow the 200 lbs diet to start with. Bit nervous doing a complete keto diet like this and losing muscle. Also seems weird not having carbs pwo! ha

A cheat meal sounds good too...haven't had one in months.

id be nervous doing a basic keto ckd style diet and losing muscle also but with the strategic efa's in Palumbo's diet and the type of cardio performed you should not worry

is Optimum Nutrition Whey okay to use on this diet? I have two giant tubs of it and was hoping it was okay to use.

Problem is it has 1.5g of Fat and 3 g of carbs of which 1.5 gram is sugar.

My understanding is sugar will throw you out of ketosis?

Please let me know.

people have asked dave this and he said if you must use it it can still work (seeing as youd only use 4 scoops/day) with the 2 shake meals, but ideally you want a quality wpi

Use egg whites instead imo. A 500ml carton gives you ~55g of protein with no carbs. I used whey but next time will definetely use egg whites.

which whey protein would you recommend? Isopure?

I want to stick to the protein shakes coz its easier and quick for me while at work.

I think you will be fine. I've been in Ketosis with my first two meals having carbs in them. Not full Ketosis but mild. Following nay deit properly may produce ketones.

Ya you will be fine with IosPure,just look at any Protein Powder Isolate for 0.5 carbs per shake.
