even if I am in calorie deficit, I will still get fat?

hmm, got any proof of your claim spazerock.? whats the diff with people with low calories diet and lose a lot of fat? They gain it back fast? ? i think they gain back fast, because the binge after stopping their diet.

Regarding keto. can you relaly lift heavy on low carb or keto diet? if one can break PR, i think he consume sufficient carb like more than 50g before the lifting. i dont think fat and protein can be used for anaerobic workout. got any links that proof otherwise?

this will apply to all cutting phase where users will be in a calorie deficit state. Mind you that BMR and Calorie Maintenance is different. I have a 1619 kcal for BMR and 2509kcal for maintenance. My daily calorie intake is 80% from my maintenance which is 2000kcal; which is far higher than my BMR. So, why people can successfully decrease the fat?

would you mind clarify how long is long term? And would you give me a link about this?

Our body have two sources of energy, from carb (glycgen) and fat (ketones). Human usually uses carb as their energy sources. But once you are on Keto, our body will try to use fat as energy since there is very low carb is being consume (less than 30g). In other word, our body still have energy but from another source which is fat. After the adjustment period (body adjusting from using carb as energy to fat as energy), our body will feel better and not tired/lethargic as per during the adjustment period.

So, by saying that it is hard to lift heavy because of low-carb is not true as fat is the primary energy source, not carb.

That is true. You can increase your atp by using creatine. But then, there is a different between aerobic exercises and Keto diet. Aerobic exercises uses fat as energy. During your body in Ketosis state where your body is out of glycogen, the liver will start to product ketones; a byproduct of fatty acids. Instead of relying to atp for energy, the body uses ketones as source of energy.

Result from it? Starting weight, end weight, body fat percentage, muscle mass if you do have. Care to share?
