Also have a few general questions.
Is it cool to continue taking creatine (pre workout) and EAAs (during workout) while on this diet? And possibly BCAAs throughout the day?
Also, what fibre supplement do you guys use? I haven't heard great things about Metamucil.

It should be fine to use creatine. For fiber i use Psyllium Husk Caps 2x day. I found this excerpt from another site about the supplements that can be used on this diet (i only use a few of these as the list is extensive):
Here is a list of info/supps/oils/etc. that is recommended for a keto diet:
Esssential Polyunsaturates:
-Omega-3 Fish Oil (DHA and EPA) 1000mg (3-6x)/day
-Eveninig Primerose Oil (Omega-6) 1300mg (2x/day)
Monosaturated Fats:
- Macadamia Nut Oil
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Avocado oil
- Almond Butter
- natural peanut butter (real peanut butter should only contain peanuts and salt)
Berry Green/Juice Plus: All natural supplement supplying 20 organic berries and greens in a pur vegecap. Berry Green also supplies the body with live active cultures (probiotics)
Psyllium or sugar-free Metamucil: (fiber supplement) 1 tsp 2x/day, morning and night mix with 4-6oz of water (Work to 3tsp/day)
Pure Creatine (no carbs) (2x/day, morning and post workout shake)
Leucine - (5g 2x/day, Pre- and Post Workout Shakes)
Whey Isolate (with 0gfat and 0g carbs)
Multivitamin (every day) with breakfast
Sea Salt
NAC - (liver support/antioxidant) - (600mg 2x/day)
Glutamine - 1 serving with breakfast and one with meal 4
Cinnulin PF - (1 serving with creatine in the post workout shake, may be helpful with the uptake of creatine even with zero carbs)
Vitamin C - (500mg 2x day) - (Pre-workout and before bed)
Vitamin E - (400IU 2x day) - (with meal#2 and meal#4)
Coral Calcium - (1500mg per day) - (with meal#2 and before bed)
You guys are great...thanks for the replies.
I just started this diet myself and had 2 questions that I'm trying to figure out:
- can you drink rockstar burner? (it's like a no-sugar rockstar drink)
-can you use scivation extend bcaa's? If so how much?
Thanks guys
Hey there, I am not too sure about the BCAA's im pretty sure it would be fine on this diet and wouldnt hurt anything. I am not too sure what the Rockstar Burners are like for calories and such but as long as it has no carbs and doesnt add to your calorie intake it should be fine.
I have taken the sugar-free AMPs here and there cause they are only 15 cals and 0 carbs
ya pretty much the same with the rockstar burner. I just get confused because some of the chemical sweetners you can't have or else it will knock you out of ketosis.. Not sure exactly what chemicals are fine and which aren't
Yeah I am no expert on what or what will not "knock you out" of ketosis by any means but I just know that so far this is working and Im going to keep at it until I stop seeing results... hopefully thats when I hit under 10% BF lol we can all dream cant we?
I think Dave Palumbo advises people to go easy on the caffine while on this diet. Not sure if it has to do with cortisol or because it might raise blood sugar, something like that.
