To be honest though, I wouldn't stress about such minute details unless you're a professional bodybuilder who needs that 1% edge for an impending competition, or something of that sort.

A very, very, big thankyou, that i mean, sincerely, so do not be discouraged by the question I'm going to accompany with my gratitude, haha ;-) <br /><br />The carbup/refeed. I'm approaching my first one this weekend (4 weeks into keto with less than 5% carbs a day (had one cheat day, a portion of chips with a pub meal) absolutely mentally hard, i'm so excited for the refeed) <br /><br />Is it really as straight forward as you put, high gi for first 24, low gi for the next 24? I heard people suggest liquid carbs after the depletion workout for atleast 12 hours? <br /><br />I'm considering doing mine only for a 36 hour window if i'm honest, sunday i will use as a day to get back into ketosis after the refeed, doing some liss etc.<br /><br />But yeah, the main question, refeed, do i honestly just have to stick to my macros and not really worry about what kind of carbs i'm eating?? <br /><br />I see you replied to a post April 25th, so i'm hoping this gets seen and/or replied too :-) <br /><br />Thanks in advanceOtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09320146969441670052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-510334050249337716.post-45328267162587735452013-06-12T06:07:19.621-07:002013-06-12T06:07:19.621-07:00man this was so informative god bless ppl who do s...man this was so informative god bless ppl who do stuff like this for ppl to consume for free I read every word and am going to try keto today, a question I have however is this; If i ate at 6am, fast until 6pm, perform a high intensity exercise routine for 45 minutes-an hour then refeed with a meal high in fats moderate in protein and <2-4 grams carbohydrates would I be in ketosis?hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-510334050249337716.post-1482510566281439322013-04-29T09:25:29.042-07:002013-04-29T09:25:29.042-07:00Hi!

I did cyclical k...Hi, Sarel from South Africa here. I did cyclical keto a few times in the past with some success but always had a off day over weekends. This was due to me thinking that I would not be able to stay in ketosis and have a few drinks. Much to my surprise I stayed in the first time I tried it and have been in ketosis for 11 weeks now. My aim in the beginning was to lose fat and I've lost 15kg (33lbs). What I wasn't expecting was the deep sense of wellness I started experiencing after about 4 weeks. I would like to ask you opinion about a few of these. I used to suffer from insomnia, it completely disappeared in about 5 weeks. I now sleep about 3 hours a night less and wake up in the morning feeling refreshed. I also stopped snoring, probably due to weight loss. My work productivity also received a significant boost. No more afternoon sluggishness and mood-swings are a thing of the past. Last night I noticed something amazing though. I am have significantly less grey hair than what I used to. Only noticed it because I let my beard grow for about a week. I had a ring of whiskers around my chin that was in the process of going completely white. Well there is not one grey to be seen. I do however have a few negatives. I have a skin rash on my arms that seems to fluctuate from being just visible to being a little itchy. My lymphatic nodes are swollen all over my body but especially in my arms an neck and I have constantly stiff neck muscles ( this is new ). I also have a vague feeling of my kidneys " being there " for lack of a better description. No pain but not normal either.

Are they right? Who knows. <br />Gum:<br />Don't chew gum. <br />Alcohol:<br />Consume at your own risk. It's nice to have every now and again. Don't think too much into it. Alcohol gets digested at 7 calories per ounce though, wheat (gluten), is an opiate so stay away from Alcohol with anything remotely sweet or you'll regret it the day after. Your body supposedly stops digestion of other macros to eliminate the poisonous presence of ethanol, so if you are going to drink, make it the last thing on your list that night...or the only :)<br />Veggie Carbs:<br />If you are truly looking to sink into a ketogenic atmosphere, take a few days to meat/fat/cheese it up. 0-30g is the ABUNDANT RESEARCHED AVG that people should consume for an "x" period of days (usually 13-25 days). Some sooner, some longer, it all depends on genetics and your body's sensitivity to insulin (an how long you're on the internet lol). <br />First timer recommendations:<br />I would suggest FASTING. Wake up- coffee (because we all know we want to) with MCT/clarified butter/cream/or black. Wait 12-16hrs until your first meal, and eat a very hefty plate of meat and fat (stay away from nitrates people, why are you doing this to yourself?) something like:<br />5 homemade jalapenos stuffed with aged cheddar<br />6oz of ground hamburger patties (2-3)<br />2tbsp of feta/blue cheese crumble<br />drizzled with Wildtree Garlic oil (something I made last night). Do this for your first 5 days and then begin eating 3-6-8 small meals a day. Just snack. No biggy. Save it for one meal who cares, just eat. Learn to be full. Learn how to listen to satiety. It's there. It's not hidden in oats or rice (the plaguers of a bad engaging fitness culture), but it is in avocados and poultry, some whey/casein in cheese and animal fats. OH- and a side note to help you learn to enjoy your new journey "Fat is the only macro-nutrient that doesn't create fat spill-over INTO fat cells".<br />Getting through it:<br />Honestly- you just have to. If you want it bad enough, you will find away. Hell I'm married to a gourmet chef and have two little girls who think sugar is God's gift to the earth...imagine when I come home from work to eat "NOTHING THEY'RE EATING"...and surviving. No support group there haha- and how do I do it? Because I know if I can't face those temptations and beat them as little as they are, how can I combat the inner demon that makes me weak and thinks food is the answer? Maybe it used to be and to a lot of us it still is, but control beats temptation every time. Be strong. Do it for yourself so you can attain that sensational you that is just beneath the surface.<br />I am ALWAYS up for meeting new people. Friends are too few and far between for all of us.
