You can have it a little early.

I need some opinions. i started my keto diet last thurdays which was 11 days ago as of sunday (which it is now). I always do my cheat meals on sunday because i go with my cousion and thats his day, it is also my only day off from the gym. You guys think i should do it a couple of days early or wait 18 days and do it next sunday? I was planning on waiting to next sunday but im starting to wonder if i should just start tomorrow. Thoughts? Hopefully when i wake up tomorrow i sign on there will be some replys to help me my decision.

Yea they usually say to wait 10-14 days. So go for it. Just don't go too crazy lol.

I think im gonna go to chillis and get the chicken fajitas w/ rice and black beans. I might also do the dessert. You guys think thats to much??

[Alex The Great]

Nah that's fine for a cheat meal. It's a good starting point. It's not too big of a cheat. This way you can see how it affects you in the week to come and if your still loosing weight increase the size of the cheat meal if you want.

I would have to disagree with you man... You need to be in 14 day no matter what. Some people take more time then other to completely switch into a keto state. My advice wait the 14 days out THIS is part of the DIET and you NEED to follow it.

Having a cheat meal on day 11 compared to day 14 is going to have that much of an effect on him. 14 days is just the norm for the rotation. So you start a diet on say sunday and 2 sundays later you get to have your cheat meal. It usually only takes most people 3-4 days to get into ketosis. After 11 days he should already be in ketosis and this meal is gona restock his glycogen suppy. Training is also a factor. Some people need to wait 14 days because they do not burn up all their glycogen stores while others can do it in 10 days because of their training intensity.

Im pretty sure 14 day is just a recomendation. I know plenty of people who only waited the week and they felt fine and made progress. I know im in ketosis by the 4th day or so. This time around i set a PR on the deadlift my 5th day on the diet. 495x1

I agree with Frizzy. If you read up on ketogenic diets and the adjustments that take place in the body, you would know that the body is adapting full on for weeks in. As minimal as this issue is in the long run, at least offer some factual reasoning behind your advice. Alex, you seem like a nice guy, but I thought this was Frosty's area of expertise. You're jumpin to answer ?'s which is awesome, but maybe you should make sure you are comfortable/knowledgable in this area before you give tips. It's not knowing yourself, or your own diet, it's application of physiological knowledge that means something. And that varies from person to person, and is based on more than personal experience. No disrespect meant by the way.

Hey guys, will someone help me to learn how to mix the true protein right? I don't have a clue, need it zero carb of course..

[Myth]

Last week I did 10 hours with 1,000g carbs and this week I'm doing about 14-15 hours with about 1500-1800g carbs. I feel much better eating over a long duration and the antigas is great because you don't feel bloated and puffy like the pillsbury doughboy.

why dont you gauge it solely by hours and not worry about counting carbs?

[IAMLEGEND]

Only day 3 on the diet and already massive headaches and shittly feeling, normal?

Yea give it a couple of days. Day 3 is usally the worst for me when i start the diet but by day 5 i feel great. It take some people longer then other to adjust but just stick to the diet. Once your in a ketogenic state you'll know because you will feel great.

[Isvind]

Day four was when my headaches stopped. Haven't had a problem since and actually feel BETTER than I did when I was taking in carbs.

[IAMLEGEND]

thanks guys, i feel horrible at this moment but i will def fight through it.

[Alex The Great]

Maybe ill give that a try on my next refeed. Usually I just set a carb mark of how many carbs I want to eat and try to come close to that. Next week maybe ill set an amount of hours and eat however many carbs I can.
