Keto diet - How do you feel?
Hey all,
Hopefully in the right forum for this topic.
Having read around this great forum, I decided to try out the Keto diet to aid in getting rid of BF.
Been on it 3 days now, and I feel absolutely amazing. So much energy, I feel like an 18 year old kid again!
Went for a jog/run tonight and my pace was well up on previous runs. Got back and knocked out 1000 jumps on the skipping rope and could probably have gone out and done it all over again. I'm 44 btw, and haven't felt this good in years, even when I was training for kickboxing and fights.
One thing I've noticed, not sure if it's in my mind but I took some Coconut oil a couple of days ago and felt like I could have gone and smashed out any workout, so I took some tonight before my run. Felt much more energetic than when I used to do any ECA stack and without the jitters.
Cheers

I have tried the keto long while back I could never make it to ketosis state. I was tired and a mean miserable asshole to everybody, so I gave it up....
lol, I had some of that the weekend, getting mean with the wife. I was also close to buying a bag of Jam Donuts from the Supermarket, but managed to stop myself. Only happened for one afternoon so far, still feeling a lot better overall.
I feel hungry! I don't do well with out carbs. I prefer selective carb intake. I always have carbs for breakfast to get me through my workout. Then again post workout to refuel. When I'm cutting I then limit my carbs for the rest of the day to bare minimum to keep my energy levels up so I don't get grumpy, sleepy or turn into a space cadet.
Cheers. Yea i've heard you feel like crap but I just feel amazing. Maybe i'l crash soon I don't know. I don't intend to stay on it forever, I love my carbs but i'm gonna give it 4 weeks and see where it goes. My only problem is keeping within my macros, the food is so tasty lol
You generally feel like shit the first 7-10 days. If you are taking on plenty of omega 3's and 6's this helps minimize the sides until your body starts burning its own fat. It also is extremely helpful to trick your body into thinking it's ok by having a bunch of trashy carbs for a few hours once a week. People who stay in ketogenic diets for too long without enough carbs eventually crash and start putting the fat back on.
I also feel like shit and just want to sleep and eat donuts. My temper increases after 7pm too.
I feel like shit. If it is working for you great. It's not my cup of tea.
