Keto and Gear was created by Samurai_X
Afternoon guys, Hope you are all well? I have been researching a Keto diet (Dave Palumbo) for a couple of weeks now and I have a question:

1.) I'm wondering how a steroid cycle (NPP + TestEn) fits in with plans to try a Keto diet? Do they go well together?

I’ll post my diet in a different thread once I have done all the research

Thanks guys

look if u are trying to gain muscle its not the easiest thing in the world even with gear, it will make u stronger but major muscle gains not really... my suggestion is still have some carbs in your diet and cut back on the fat a little and you will grow and get rid of body fat...carbs are needed to get maximum muscle contraction.

i have run a keto diet with 700mg equi and 960mg of super test and in 12 weeks i got leaner and stronger but only gained about 2 lean body mass... throw some carbs in and its a different story.

Dj, is it possible to get enough carbs from vegetables? Or does one have to look at things like sweet potato, rice etc. If I eat say +/- 700g of green beans as per the "Zone" diet would that suffice?

u could,but u would better benefit from complex carbs in my opinion cos eat 700g of green beans per carb meal is gonna suck the big one.

:lol: It does suck the big one :sick: Does some strange things to the bowels too :whistle:

I still have a good few weeks to go before my next cycle so I'm going to stick to the "Zone" until then and then I'll be back to sending you annoying mails multiple times a day :P

How about say 50g carbs from potato vs 50g carbs from veg? Like butternut,mealies etc? Anything wrong with that?

Lets go!
