Brad, do you know about getting false reads on the strips from ingesting to much protein? Is this true?

your body has not started using fat for fuel yet ketone strips are uselessBrad, do you know about getting false reads on the strips from ingesting to much protein? Is this true?
Do you think the gear would help slow muscle loss? That's what I'm thinking.
Sully are you suggesting everything found in print isn't true and accurate? Your never going to get anywhere with crazy ideas like that!
I guess everybody is different. I do Keto, I get stupid week. The glycogen in muscle goes away, so I look smaller. I can't get a pump bc of it. I hate life.
Well hell, I've done keto for jus over a month prior to a competition. I can honestly I was miserable every last second of it.Some of that happens to everyone. It should only be temporary, though. Once the body starts oxidizing fat for energy instead of carbohydrates, and starts producing its own carbs (ketones) those problems usually go away. Yes, you will look a little flat and strength and energy can drop a little bit. That’s to be expected because you’ve depleted muscle glycogen. But, once your body activated the necessary metabolic pathways that should all correct itself and you should start feeling much better. I think a lot of guys get discouraged and give up after a week or 2 because of how they feel. It can take longer than that to truly get into ketosis.
I'm all in on Dan Duchaines Body Opus diet. For those unfamiliar it a keto diet for 5 days a week and a huge carb over load on the weekends. My thinking is I want to cut way back on this insulin so just pounding it on the weekends will leave me way ahead of the current consumption levels. As most of you know I'm gaining too fast for health porposes. may be this will slow the roll and I'll just feel better.
This is my question. How long does it take to fall into ketosis? All day Monday and taking insulin 5iu with each keto meal and the piss strips still say zero. The strips haven't even started to change color yet.
Anyone have experience with this?
ive been pretty much keto for little over a year now, even when I added back in carbs at 150 a day not too long ago I was still show blood ketone levels in ketosis, I have become very fat adapted so I can get away with a lot more than most people attempting this diet, I have gone higher protein and still in ketosis and have gone medium/low carb and still been in ketosis, even when I have a nasty cheat meal once in a blue moon I go back into ketosis very very quickly. I was able to stay pretty lean all offseason doing this even when I had pushed my calories up to around 4000 cals I was still staying pretty lean.I had no idea you've been down this road. Really good insight! I've been banging around reading up on this but in a few short sentences so much has been said.
How long did you stick with it? Why did you get off? Did it literally get you ripped free of all fat?
Well hell, I've done keto for jus over a month prior to a competition. I can honestly I was miserable every last second of it.
Woke up this morning literally covered in veins. Veins like I just finished a high rep training session. I'm still "HARD" on the keto diet. WTH is going on?
CG I'm really looking forward to hearing about your first hand experience with this diet.
B-Boy thank you for the input! Your knowledge is ALWAYS appreciated.
