Anyone have experience with a high fat keto diet? For example, 150g pro, 200g fat a day? Was reading some of Dan Duchaine's articles and he seemed to advocate a higher fat intake than most studies I've read. I've always done high protein with moderate fat keto so interested in any feedback to this approach.

Get the book bodyopus and follow it..I've done it and got shredded every time.. the carb up is extensive but works..Also look at Mauro Dipasquale Anabolic Diet, as it may seem easier to follow.

Hey Folks, long time lurker here and need some help....Been doing keto for about 11 weeks and saw fat loss come to a halt, so I started pro/veg 2 weeks ago, I look like crap but feel fine. Trouble is fat loss came to a halt again, although I'm coming off a 2 week clen run, so thats prolly a factor.
I'm wondering if I should cycle the pro/veg days while I run clen and do pro/fat during the 2 weeks off clen.
My cardio is already at 2 hrs a day/liss and unfortunatley I think I've run out of options but not where I want to be bodyfat wise. I can't run yohimbe due to nasty sides either. Also I'm 45yo so I'm sure that works against me too.
Any help would be greatly appriciated, thanks in advance

I am glad this thread is still here..The threads on MD with Dave back in the day used the be awesome and of course Joe/Myth and few others were always just pure education.

So my question for the the now slow thread:

When on a keto what is the best accepted lifting practices.
Not looking for someone to build me a workout just looking for what worked for others.

Ex. Obviously the 10x10 method would not be smart

Thanks ahead..

I would do all together most meals a Protien, fat and veggie, no reason to split them up. You need a steady stream of fats and veggies never hurt. 2 hrs a day is too much. Listen to some of Layne Nortons stuff he talks about excatly what your going through. Good Luck

I believe the most excepted method is HIT style low reps low sets high intensity. Everyone is different. I myself have done both HIT and volume with good success.

Thanks Rich,
So do you think I should stay at the set amount of fat or try and tweak it and drop it a little on non training days?

I would keep it set all the same till your body gets used to it then adjust from there keep track of #s weight and mirror. Nothing happens right away especially as we get older. Good fats are a good thing. Consistency is key to keep track.

I apologize if this has been covered before but I have a few questions I hope someone wouldn't mind answering a few questions. Ive done keto diets before for bodybuilding and always had great results, and more than that, I always felt really good. I want to shift my offseason diet to a higher calorie version of my contest diet..So these are my questions

Right now my bw is 196 dry...I can post up some recent pics if need be.

I train very late at night and my PWO meal is my last meal of the day...Can I use a moderate protein (240g) higher fat (100g or more) diet during the day and include carbs only PWO without stalling muscle gains?


Or...would it be more effective to keep carbs in my pre and post meals but eliminating them the in my other 5 meals?...I eat 7 meals a day


Or...Can I do a high cal keto diet during the week (240g Pro and 100g or more fat) and have a reefed meal or reefed day every 7-10 days?

Thanks,

Corey

I've found my sweet spot to be 50% fat/35% protein/15% carbs

Is this a maintain diet cut or bulk? Im trying to find my sweet spot as well. I can easily get ripped on Keto but then I normally transfer over to a carb cycle to maintain or keep cutting. For bulking I want to stay as lean as possible but with good growth.

I wish I could experience this phenomenon people call "continuous sleep!" LOL

But I would rather be hydrated and wake up 2-3 times to piss (and fall right back asleep), than be DEhydrated and sleep continuously

I know my dad had issues with pissing often through out the night. The doctor told him to stop drinking caffeine and he said it fixed it.
