thats few years ago, im not glad with result, maybe not suit for me, maybe u can try. different people get different result.

I personally have great results with keto diet, the diet probably not suited for you, or maybe you've done it wrongly. I just need like 2-3 days to adapt to ketosis, feeling abit sluggish for the first 2-3 days of course, after that i felt great, and i dont really feel hungry on this diet, which is good.

nice man. care to share the results? btw, how will you know when you are in ketosis state?

Lost 8lbs over the course of 8 weeks, I do IF too. When im in keto, my energy will come back after the sluggish transition phase from the carb load, and I actually dont feel hungry, thats when I know im in keto. Or you can use ketostix.

Tried a keto cut once.

Felt awful. Was really depleted by the time I hit 8% BF.

I'll stick to IF and a regular diet, thank you.

cutting can b real fun if you know how to do it. this doesnt sound like fun

lol yeah

I guess it would be good for diabetics though

Nice! Any pics? No homo

Very very fun if you love bacon, cheese and peanut butter. If you dont, its gonna suck.

Lol I've never taken progress pics of myself.

My family has a history of horrible (and I mean, horrible) skin problems through puberty and I am no exception. Pretty shit feeling too, especially when I've got several cousins with pretty good physiques tainted by eczema as well.

Skin diseases=life on hard mode

I tried CKD once about a couple of months back. Lasted 2 weeks (lost a total 4% bf!) and gave up. it shows great progress but the lethargy by end week was horrible.

will probably try TKD instead when i am up for it....

This is my result for 1st week of Keto Diet (1st cycle).

Body Fat Mass: 37kg
Total Body Water: 40.5kg
Fat Free Mass: 55.3kg
PBF: 40.1%

Current Stat taken on 21/5/2012 (after 5 1/2 day on Keto, 1 1/2 day on carb cycle).
Weight: 93.2 kg (+0.9kg)

Hmm, seems like the water % might be causing some inaccuracy/inconsistency in terms of bf and muscle mass. Did you try to account for that? For example by maintaining a consistent water intake regimen before sleep and upon waking followed by discharging before taking measurements.

Yes, I do discharge all my urine and feces before taking my measurement, and I always wear the same 'outfit' while taking my measurement. About the water regimen, cal you clarify on this? I do consume at least 1.5 liter of plain water a day.

I just meant maintaining consistency. For example, a glass of water before sleep, then upon waking, urinate, then followed by another glass of water, then measure. Can be different for you, just the consistency. Because water consumption can affect the bio-impedance reading to a significant degree.

All right man. I'll see what I can do. But, I never drink any fluid from waking up until I measure my weight.

Check out the post by justhamade at 12:40pm, which quotes an excerpt from a book, starting with "2.IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE BIO-ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE (BEI), YOU NEED CONSISTENT HYDRATION."

How about this? http://bodytransformationinsider.com/access/body-fat-scales/

"Body water is at it’s most stable point every day first thing in the morning before eating and drinking anything. This is when you should be taking your body fat readings."

It's up to you. As you can see from both posts, it's about consistency, as hydration levels will lead to significant fluctuations in the bio-impedance testing, thereby affecting your muscle mass and fat reading. Which is why such devices are not useful if you value accuracy. But for the normal everyday person they're good enough for an approximation. And personally, I would follow the advice in the first link, it's from the best-selling book 4hour body.

hi
i am in progress reduce my body fat.
interested on keto diet.
read a lot here and there.
the idea is replace fuel energy with fat instead of carb.
i have some doubt here
1)you all practice this everyday with less carb and healthy fat/calories food??
2)will have energy to lift weight?
3)also maintain 5-6 meal per day only less carb?

thanks for sharing
