First off... Did you enjoy your mango??

To answer your question bluntly, yes it is possible to gain muscle on keto maybe a kilo or two. A better explanation of why you feel you gained muscle is that when you lean out you actually look bigger with your muscles more defined, which gives the impression that you are getting bigger. Earlier in the year I neglected my diet and training and gained some kilos. Then when I went on keto everybody was convinced that I was on gear.

When you reach ketosis you will be full of energy. If you do a cheat meal before you reach ketosis then you are back at step 1 and everything has been for nothing. Your choice.

Is it really worth it? How are you gonna feel about it tomorrow morning? Before you kill your diet with a carb binge, take 800mcg Chromium and drink 1L of water. Then ask yourself if reaching your goal is worth feeling bad for just one more day.

Hay guys

I am a bit confused at the moment , I am getting more vascular and leaner visibly but my weight is stil at 105kg

I did some cm measurements this morning and just for some interest sake my arms are 45cm and my caves are also 45cm but both my arms and caves are starting to get quite vascular with veins so this means that I am losing my fat from my arms and legs first and then slowly moving inward's to my body

Your extremities always lean out first. After that though we are all different like for me my abs lean out before my lower back and pecs whereas most peoples abs go last.

Go big or go home...

Btw ,Not my current cardio methods though

Ey bud

It is recommended that as you weigh yourself you need to do a bf% measurements as well. A scale doesn't differentiate whether the 105kg is bf, muscle, or water. As you're leaning out check your bf and this must be done by a professional. A scale may be disheartening at times after your worked so hard to loose.

Just remember that if you were say, benching 80 kgs for reps before, that you try keep pressing that 80 kgs even though you're doing drops and super sets. Otherwise, you will lose strength, and ultimately muscle mass as well.
