That's not for body fat loss, as I explained above. Doing it with the refeed is to get bigger and stronger without gaining too much useless body fat. If you want to lose the useless body fat that you already have, then you have to cut out the refeed cheat day, or it won't work for body fat loss. It's that simple. I told you that it wouldn't work, the first time you posted that you were going to try AD, unless you didn't cheat at all. 38 days later you didn't lose the body fat. Had you not cheated, then you should have lost a least 15# of body fat by now. So who did you cheat? You cheated yourself.
So do whatever. Go back to counting calories. That won't work either, though it will burn hard earned muscle tissue, and still leave you pudgy looking. GL.
There is a diet called carbnite by DH Kiefer that has been used with great success. By me. And by many others I know personally.
6 day on 1 day off keto diet. the 1 day is a huge carb up, upwards of 500 grams easily. Same as Body Opus by Duchaine.
Zzzz Old stuff, and yes they work. The refeed day kickstarts "leptin" "ghrelin" and other metabolic hormones into high gear, preventing them from completely shutting down. As they would if you did a fat loss keto diet indefinitely, steadily lowering calories. Eventually you would not be hungry while eating 1,000 cals a day, and also maintain your weight. The huge refeeds prevent this.
This Erik C speaks in an obnoxious manner as if he's some expert, and that there is only 1 concrete way to do things lol. I have looked like this on cyclical keto as well as Adonis Principles at 205lbs. There are many ways to skin a cat.
The second pic was directly after finishing my nightly carb binge on Day 7, the 900 carb refeed day. Mind you I'm not saying I was or am impressive, but I was 205, 210 morning after refeed take from that what you will.
You're doing it right, but you WILL have to drop significant calories to see rapid loss, beware when you come off the diet. Slowly add in carbs over WEEKS. 100...150...200..250 50 a week or you will ballon rebound. Called reverse dieting worked very well for me, got to desired leanness and then maintained that while slowly going from 1,500 cals to 3,000 cals over 6 weeks, 2 lb gain.
