Possible to live/function well/train on low carb lifestyle?

[ritch]

I have a client who did a tranformation. After we finished, I had him eat every two weeks all possible combinations and proportions of nutrients. When I left him to his own devices he always came back to no carbs and a cheat day every 7th day.

Nothing mind blowing here as far as results....

I agree, nothing special in dropping 52lbs in 4 months, changing lifestyle and eating habits 180 degrees and being able to maintain it without effort.

You fight way too hard for praise.

This is also called, "fishing for compliments" ....except you do so aggressively

How long does it take to get into ketosis after a big cheat day (tomorrow...)

IMO, going extremely low carb is the best way to lose fat quickly, as it will almost certainly put you in a caloric deficit and force your body to burn fat.

However, if you're not trying to lose weight, I see no point to staying in Keto for a extended period, and it's not what your body wants as glucose is the brain's and the anaerobic energy system's preferred energy source.

I dont know if i agree. Calorie deficit is easy using carbs. Low carb, and i seem to load up on cream and PB and before i know it, im eating normal calorie amounts

i used to go weeks sometime on zero carbs in the beginning,once i started leaning out i id have some carbs on  1 day on the weekend,usually in the form of dried pineapple,basiclly any dried friuts. diet really works but is mentally and physically brutal on a person,it was hard on me but my goals where clear and nothing was gonna stand in my way

Just have the carbs when you need to function ie at work. Then at night no carbs.

If I have no carbs at all I'm just lazy. Like my body and mind want to go in rest mode. Good for shedding fat but not so much for being productive. If I didn't need to work I would do it all day long and just have some carbs 100g or so before training.

Bodybuilding and high standards are always synonymous.

yea man i had the lethargic issue also, it was hard just to get outta bed never mind going to work all day and then training. my boss asked me if i was sick acouple times cause he said i looked like i was gonna pass out,i added some peanut oil in my diet as well as MCT'S and it helped alot as far as energy goes

For me anything below 60g a day and I'd start showing keto after about 3 days. But you don't want to drop deep in Keto as being Keto is pretty catabolic. So I would monitor the amount of ketones in my urine and adjust carbs as needed
