genic diet,

what

the heck is it? The ketogenic diet is an extremely low-carb, high-fat diet. It involves drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat. Now, this carb reduction puts your body into a cold metabolic state. When this happens, your body becomes incredibly efficient at burning fat for energy. It also helps transform fat into ketones in the liver, which can supply energy for the brain. Ketogenic diets can cause a massive reduction in blood sugar and insulin levels. This, along with increasing ketones in the body can have numerous health benefits, but ketosis also has side effects and we're about to find out exactly

what

they are because for the next six weeks we'll be doing the standard ketogenic diet, which which means that 75% of our daily calories will be fat. 20% protein and only 5% will be carbohydrates, which will be approximately 20 grams per day, those 20 grams are basically equivalent to a medium chocolate chip cookie, so we will have to be very careful not to overdo it in keeping our body in ketosis. is the goal

we go wish us luck on the first day of keto and I'm super excited so I'm heading to the store now to make sure I have all the right foods available to me when I need them.

I think that's definitely rule number one. when every time you try a new eating habit or a diet or something like that, you make sure you're prepared, preparation is definitely key, so I'll go to the store and load up. I have to be honest, I had no idea what to expect. But I'm having a great time, why is it taking us so long to do this? I always liked you a little, but now I'm really sorry. Do you want another drink? Last night was incredible. It's time for round two. Day 12 of my trip with Kido and I finally feel like I'm starting to get a little used to it.

The first two weeks were pretty tough and my biggest problem was probably making sure I stayed under the designated amount of carbs. which for me is around 20 to 30 grams per day and the things I did, like eating nuts, for example, have low amounts of carbohydrates, but when you eat them all day long trying to incorporate those fats you don't realize that . They add up very quickly, so for me up to this point in the journey what's really been key is that you're using a calorie tracker. I have my Fitness Pal on my phone and it has been a huge help because I can scan on the go and make sure.

I'm trying to reach that number. I'm still trying my best to achieve it. I'm still trying to get used to which foods are actually useful in a pinch. Meats are always very good of course, fats like butters, but a bit of a side effect of that is that I feel very greasy, it's just that I feel it coming out of my pores almost all the time I cook with it, like with him all the time, he greases our kitchen counters. "He's getting our tablecloth. I've become a greasy guy currently working the 15th and it's something I have to adapt to, I'm sure you know it's a funny story.

Actually, I accidentally basically was the dakedo before it was Kido when I was 19 and competed." in the bodybuilding competition and if you guys are familiar with the body, but you generally eliminate a large majority of carbohydrates, you still eat some oatmeal or sweet potatoes, things like that, but I pretty much eliminated everything. Wow, they say low carb. I'm going to know the card so you know basically the more the better in that case or the less the better and I have to say it worked great. I was super devastated and did really well in the competition, it was definitely The good thing about this is that I've already experimented with something like this and I knew what it was going to be like and how it felt, although it's been a long time since then, so I'm definitely getting used to it. adapting to that, but I feel like I was prepared for this and knew how my body reacted.

I already knew I was going to get some benefits from a diet like keto. However, I have a lot left, so we'll see. So now we have the results and I'm sorry to say it's good, it's for you, yes it is. You know that men have a hard time accepting this kind of thing and you know that you are 30 years old. Things are starting to get worse. See, you know me, it's over, it's all work, well, hey, I'll tell you one, give it one more chance, well, my goodness, honey, it's Aikido, you know, it's the 30th and I can say that I'm definitely getting thinner.

In fact, I have improved. Some comments from people who know me say that it seems like you've lost some weight and I've definitely lost about five pounds of weight so far and my eating schedule and habits have completely changed over the course of this. I did intermittent fasting as a test last month and that carries over to this too because fat of course has twice as many calories as protein and carbs so my meals are half the size , but I'm consuming the same amount of calories. So with the hard morning workouts, I really find that I only eat one giant meal after my workout and that has further evolved into the ohm ad, which for those of you who don't know Omadd's means a meal a day so I'm eating one big meal after my workout and surprisingly I stay full for the rest of the day so I just load everything up in the morning, eat, exercise and then for the most part I'm well and I'm losing weight so this is very different to me, a little strange than what I'm used to but I must say I'm enjoying it.

Living without carbs is not that easy and when you shop at the store, I start to see and notice that almost everything contains carbs. I'm not just talking about healthy sources of carbohydrates. I'm talking about sugars, you'd think, well, I'm on keto. I need some protein. I just need some fats. I'll just grab something easy like prepackaged jerky and you look at the back and it has over 10 grams of sugars in each serving and you wonder what else has sugars in it that I don't know about, so I think it's really a good way to focus on certain things, whether it's processed foods or pre-packaged foods, and eliminating all of that, you know, after consuming carbs, sometimes you can feel that little crash and almost feel a little bit of authority, you can even bloat afterwards, so once Cut that out and get used to it, you feel better and better.

We have reached day 40 of the keto experiments and I think so far it has been a success, feel good, get into a good habit and get used to having certain foods that make me feel good and I adjusted my protein intake a little higher than a diet Normal keto is usually about 70 or 75 percent fat and the rest protein with a little bit of carbs, but I increased my protein intake by about the same percentage content as my fats make me feel better. I am more satiated during the day and feel like I have a little more energy in the gym and maintain the physique I have developed and want to see.

I look in the mirror and then I say, "Okay, I'm happy with that because the hard thing about the ketogenic diet is that if you follow it for a long period of time, it's definitely a calorie restriction diet, you'll lose a lot of weight and some of that it can be muscle, so if you're worried about that, I would recommend at least increasing the protein a little more has worked for me. I've definitely been drinking more water to stay on that good schedule and feel great. Final verdict for day 45. , many of you suggested doing keto for six weeks to give you a little more time to feel all the benefits, so that's exactly what we've done and I must say it's been quite a journey, it's been very different for something so simple like cutting out carbs changes a lot of ways of thinking about things I know I've been able to experiment with a lot of new recipes that have been really enjoyable Keto pizza it's been very enlightening but as far as flex or not flex. , this is really hard because there are some things that I really enjoy and there are some things that I don't enjoy enough, so I'm going to have to go without flex because although I would like to stay low carb and like Brandon said, try to keep the sugar as low as possible. absolutely low possible, which I thank Keto for helping me achieve.

I love carbs, I love blackberries, I love apricots and it's been very difficult trying to keep it below that. 20 to 30 grams a day, so I'll still be low carb. I'll try to stay sugar-free, but keto at its most intense. I won't continue here too, but thanks keto, it's been fun, but we have a part. The final verdict for me personally eliminate any type of sugar, it's definitely hard to get used to, but I feel like it definitely has the benefits. You can adjust it slightly to what you obviously feel like, it suits your personal schedule and eating habits, but.

I like meat, I like fat and it's something easy to fit into my schedule and I feel like it suits my body very well, I look good, I feel good and I feel like it was a success so I'm revising my initial review of ketogenic diets originally. I did a pushup and for good reason because I felt like it worked pretty well within my schedule, it made me feel good and it made me look better, but as I progressed I realized that it's actually not that sustainable to be low carb all the time. time because there are many healthy sources of carbohydrates and now I am adapting to a low carbohydrate diet, but maintaining healthy sources, of course, keeping all my vegetables, but also introducing some complex carbohydrates like potatoes or sweet potatoes, oats, things of that nature .

I'm probably stuck with around 80 grams or something, maybe even up to 100 depending on the day and I definitely feel a lot better introducing it into my regular eating plan and into my workouts, I feel better, I feel stronger, so I think I'm still standing. for the original flags, but I wanted to review a little and just say that it might be difficult to sustain something like that for longer periods of time and that it might be important to adjust it according to how you feel, how you react to it and by definition I'll stick with carbs, but I present those healthy sources well which concludes the episode.

I hope you enjoyed it. What other recommendations do you have? Let us know in the stream bar above. We are willing to try almost anything. We're almost this close. Yeah. As soon as you start going down we'll try, yeah, that's young, we'll get desperate, hopefully, that won't be for a while, yeah, stable.
