Pyroclasm's Keto Diet

Thats an excellent idea, just start what you planned and adjust when needed.

On Keto you are making use of a different energy system: Fats
Your between set recovery will definitely be affected, especially in the first month as your body is making its transition from one energy source to another.

Pyro are you planning to compete ?

Yes that´s true bud but isn´t the whole idea of weight training to deplete glycogen stores so as to get into ketosis faster and to stay in a state of ketosis?

What I was alluding to is that FST-7 was designed for use with a different energy system.
So to put it so that an engineer would understand.

You are trying to compete at F1 in a diesel car...

Brilliant

hahahaha good one TB! :lol:

An update on my diet.

Start: 86.3Kg
Week 1: 84.4Kg
Week 2: 83.3Kg

Didn´t lose as much as thought the first week but I guess I can attribute that to the fact that I went on a shall I say ´diuretic spree´ where I used some dieting tricks to lose water.

For interest sake, whats your estimate BF currently ?

About 16% brother

Already on Keto so soon after PCT ? Nee fok tjom, kannie gesond wees nie.

Hoe so my chom?

Klink net of jy gewig optel dan afskud, optel, afskud, cycles doen, committed, en dan eet/drink jy weer n klomp poefie.

Ek glo aan consistency met oefen/cycle/diet...... wel teminste vir n periode van n paar jaar.

Ek mag dalk die pot mis sit met my opinie, maar dis my afleiding ??

Waardeer jou opinie chomma! Ek het nou vir so amper 3 maande (1 maand PCT en dan nog so net onder 2 maande na PCT) op min of meer dieselfde gewig gebly dalk so 2kg vet opgetel. My doel is om die gewig vir eens en vir altyd af te skud en dan gaan ek dit probeer maintain vir die res van my lewe.

Ok thx, sal die virtual prent bietjie verander

No worries bud after a dessert binge session I will have the same stats as you. Haha :silly:

Week 3

Finally got hold of a caliper. It was about R100 so not the best, but it's something. I carry most of my fat around my mid-section so I chose the Jackson/Pollack 4 site measurement system for calculation purposes..

Measurements: (mm)
Chest- 11
Abs- 21
Thigh- 11
Supraillac- 16
Tricep- 9

Age: 24
Weight: 84kg
Height: 186

Therefore 13.11% bodyfat.
Fat: 11kg
Lean body mass: 73kg

Going to do my first carb up meal tomorrow three weeks in. Is it okay if I do this: (want to spoil myself a little bit)
Breakfast: Beef Tartare (3 egg yellows, onions, spices) with three white bread rolls and lite margarine.
Early lunch: Milk Rice with Strawberries (it's a pudding)
Lunch: Protein
Pre-workout: 500ml Milk with Whey
Post-workout: Protein
Dinner: Protein

And a snickers somewhere..

And a donut...

Hey broseph. Just out of interest, has your fat loss halted? If it hasn't then I'd keep going since leptin wouldn't have dropped too low.

If it has however, gooi those carbs. Just try not to over indulge.

Pretty sure thats the first time a user on this forum has used the word broseph. I like it! I think the fat loss has slowed down a little bit yeah broheim. Any opinions on my planned carb up?
