Not on traditional Keto, but modified CKD/ low carb. I love it personally. Hard to break the standard beliefs surrounding carbs, but as stated below once your body adjusts to fat burning its a night and day difference in overall health and feeling.
When you make a break from the word keto and truly understand what it means to be fat adapted, the vlckd rules on macros go out the window. You can go high protein in line with training and fuel HIT/HIIT with the relevant amount of carbs all whilst staying fully fat adapted. It shows exactly how ridiculous ckd is in particular. It's a revelation and nothing else gives that level of energy and mental clarity.
Love keto. I like palumbos take on it with a little lower fat than the traditional keto but more protein. Like said below th first 2-3 days can be rough until you are accustom to it, then you will feel great. Those first days I don’t worry about quantity. I just worry about getting through it. A lb of bacon every day helps lol. Water drops quick first. After the initial 8-10 lbs of water drop I usually drop a lb every two days. 25lbs in a month is usually what I shoot for off cycle. The last time I was on cycle I got into ketosis within 36 hours with no cardio which I thought was absolutely insane. Minimal strength and muscle loss on cycle. Off cycle is different. Really have to watch calories or strength and muscle will deplete very quickly. Also expect a huge bounce back when you reintroduce carbs. I’m not a fan of cycling. I go 100% strict keto when I do it otherwise I feel like shit for a few days after a high carb day. My body doesn’t get used to it when I bounce all over the place, it’s just planned miserableness instead of when I stick to it and my body stays in that feel good mode when I’m burning ketones.
I like IF more than keto.
I also have concerns about free radicals produced from breaking down lipids as a primary fuel source but I need to do more research before I can speak with authority on it.
ClassyChassisI have experience with CKD off and on going back over 30 years. You definitely want to run a Cyclical Ketogenic Diet. You need the refeed to replenish muscle and liver glycogen periodically. If liver glycogen stores stay low for too long the conversion of T4 to T3 slows to a crawl and leptin expression suffers.
The negative is that it takes a few days for your body to adjust to burning ketones for fuel, and a few weeks for your brain. So in the beginning you will feel tired, possibly sick, trouble concentrating, etc. However once you adapt you'll have amazing energy, never hungry, need less sleep.
So in the beginning you'll probably dream about pancakes if you're able to go to sleep at all. You'll suffer . It's the price of admission. I once ate 5 lbs steak a day along w sunflower seeds 5 days a week and then ate carbs on the weekend. This went on for 6 months and after a few months I didn't even want to eat carbs on the weekend bc it made me feel tired and sleepy.
Intermittent fasting might be something to look into also. My first Hardcore dieting experience was Cybergenics which was a combination of a CKD and IF as well as calorie cycling. Very effective.
