What Is the Keto Diet
The Keto diet involves going long spells on extremely low (no higher than 30g each day) to almost zero g daily of carbs and increasing your fats to a escalating level (so much that they may comprise just as much as 65% of your respective daily macronutrients intake.) The idea behind that is to get the body into a state of ketosis. In this state of ketosis the body is supposed being more inclined to work with fat for energy- and research says it lets you do this. Depleting your carbohydrate/glycogen liver stores and after that moving onto fat for fuel means you ought to become shredded.
You then follow this basic platform from say Monday until Sat 12pm (afternoon) (or Sat 7pm, according to whose version you read). Then from this time until 12 midnight Sunday night (so up to 36 hours later) do your massive carb up...
(Some say, and this will be also dictated by the body type, that you could go nuts inside carb up and eat anything you want and after that there are the ones that more wisely- in my view- prescribe still adhering to the clean carbs even within your carb up.)
So calculating your numbers is actually the following.
Calculate your required maintenance degree of daily calories.
(if you are looking to drop quickly use 13- I would not advise this, should you prefer a more level drop in body fat use 15 and if you are likely to actually try and maintain or possibly get yourself some muscle then use 17)
Body weight in pounds x 15= a
Protein during the day 1g per weight in pounds= b
Bx4=c (c= number of calories allotted to your evryday protein allowance).
a-c= d (d= volume of calories to become allotted to fat intake).
D/9= g per day of fat to get consumed.
The end calculation should leave you with an incredibly high number to your fat intake.
Now for anyone thinking about levels of energy... Especially for training as there are no carbs, and there is such a high volume of fat within the diet you feel quite full and also the fat is a very good fuel source for your system. (One adaptation that I are making is to actually have a very nice fish fillet approximately one hour before I train and I think it is gives me enough energy to have through my workout.) (I am aware in the arguments made to not have fats 2-3 hrs otherwise to train. While I won't have fats 2-3 hrs after training as I want quick absorption and the flow of blood then, I see no trouble with slowing everything down before training so my body has access to your slow digesting energy source).
Continuing with general guidelines.
There are a handful of that say to have a very 30g carb intake just after training- just enough to fill liver glycogen levels. And then there are the ones that say having even as much as that will push get you started of ketosis- their state you are hoping to keep. As I did the post-workout shake going back 8+ a lot of my training I have thought we would try the "no post-workout" route! I figure I may too try!
During my carb up period- with regard to those who would want to recognize you may get in shape and sill consume the issues you want (in moderation)- for the first five to six weeks I will be relaxed by what I eat within this period but then the next about six weeks I will only eat clean carbs.
I also love to be sure that the very first workout with the week- such as a Monday morning workout- is really a nice long full hour of training so I start cutting to the liver glycogen already.
I also make sure you have one further really grueling workout on Saturday before my carb up.
And I am eating lots of fish,eggs,olive oil and beef!
