SuThy, your carb-up sounds about right. Generally you can hit maintenance (I don't, I feel to guilty lol) on the carb-up day. But that means the daily maintenance, not everything following your workout. If you want, paste your current stats and I'll figure out what your carb-up should look like optimally.

ABC01, where is the smell coming from? Mouth and urine? What does it smell like? Any new taste sensations?

I have the metallic taste in my mouth already from 3rd week. I am actuall 7 weeks into keto now. Pee is so sharp that my girlfriend complains about the smell. I have a sweet almost acidic smell sometimes. My breath also smells differently. Done some more reading and it seems it is a effect of body converting protein to glucose or using the fat and froming ketones as waste product. Does this sound correct? Was late at night when i read it.

These little effects is making the diet a bit uncomfortable

Hows the weight drop so far abc?

I lost 2kg within 1st 2 weeks and stayed there. Bodyfat dropped to 8 or 9% (about 2% down). I am happy with what this diet does to my body. I stay nice and lean even after taking a 2 week break from training. I am planning to start cycling again (bicycling) more regularly so i guess i will switch to the TKD soon. This type of eating def suits my body way more than regular carb intake. I am a big advocate of the keto diet now.

I am waiting for a book i ordered from amazon "the art of low carb performance". I wanted to order Lyle Mcdonald's book on keto as well but it is about R1000-00 without shipment
