Official keto thread

So bring us up to speed! What are up to these days?

[Todd Lincoln]

Thank you!

Although I haven't done a keto diet in 4 years, I still believe it can be one of the best ways to diet. I've been doing carbs only PWO, with Pro/Fat all other meals. Works for what I'm doing

Nice to see you back. Learned a lot from you on the old MD thread. You and Joe helped a lot of people get into shape. I guess this is a belated thank you.

Thanks guys. I've been trying to start my personal training business while looking for prime locations to open up my gym. It's extremely tough and competitive tho!

Cool. Are you going to open a private by appointment only studio or a full run of the mill gym? I ran a gym several years ago...I know it's tough so wish you luck in getting started!..Also, just used your discount code on TN so hopefully help get you some free supps at some point.

Appreciate it Todd! I'm gonna open a CF type gym, which is VERY hard to do in SoCal, as it has the highest CF gym density per capita in the world. I want to offer private sessions and obviously classes. We're gonna offer possibly and a few other things to differentiate ourselves.

I also learned a lot form you and the old MD keto thread. What sort of diet are you following these days? And good luck with your gym!

[TonyElTigre]

So why do you think refeeds are more beneficial then a single cheat meal (which a few on here I think believe in, or that Dave suggests) when on a keto diet?

This would be my question actually because I am brand new to starting the keto diet.
I am trying this diet to burn some extra fat and build some muscle too. I am looking to
lose about 10 lbs doing this diet and have really been doing well so far.

Nowadays I do pro/fat 3 meals a day, with a PC meal PWO. simple and effective!

everyone is different. reefed parameters depend on multiple factors including insulin sensitivity, level of leanness, metabolism, level of glycogen depletion, etc.

I seem to remember with the refeeds you would start with one refeed meal on the refeed day and add more meals as you got leaner and of course total overall carbohydrate consumption. Do you still advocate starting with one refeed meal and adding more as leanness increases or do you just start with a set amount of carbohydrate consumption for the entire refeed day and add more overall carbs as body fat% drops?

I started with a prescribed number of meals back in my early days, then progressed to a "refeed window" (as per Skip Hill's recommendation) whereby I prescribed a set number of hours for this window in which one would eat all the carbohydrate-rich foods he could COMFORTABLY handle in that time frame. Note: this window assumes ample hydration levels as well- this is important in terms of both accurately gauging satiety (for example, if I drink one liter of fluids in my 12 hour refeed window, I'm obviously gonna be able to consume more carbs, whereas drinking a gallon of water would force me to take in fewer carbs) as well as facilitating more efficient digestion (stomach being able to empty faster=more carbs able to be consumed). So the refeed is all about balance and moderation, really. It takes years to get it down to a science.

This!!! This diet is a work in progress for you when you decide to go this route. My advice in the begining is to take notes not only on what you eat for the day, but how you feel, how you feel when training, and how you look. I know it sounds complicated at first, but it really is very simple.
