Dieting Dieting Dieting

OK hope you could answer a couple of questions I have got about diets.

1. Keto diets, Can you do them year round? Is it best to use them while on a cutting cycle or can it be used when off cycle? Can one bulk/gain weight on Keto diets?

2. Carb Cycling diets (High, mod, low), questions same as above.

3. When starting PCT is it just best to keep at TDEE or increase calories by 10% ? Can one (switch over to) do Keto diets or Carb cycling diets when in PCT or is this just a bad idea?

1. I could never use a keto diet effectively, all the protein you must eat is just too expensive. It's also too strict for me to follow...

2. Carb cycling only works for me for about a month, whereafter I start losing muscle. It's a great way to kick-start a cutting cycle, but after a month I need to bring the daily carbs back if I want to keep my muscles.

keto diet can be easily used for bulking - its all about a surplus of calories and you can add a day or two to carboload.

Something i have been wanting to ask, has anyone used the Anabolic diet buy Mauro G. Di Pasquale called the anabolic solution?

As for the keto diet, i prob wouldnt do it strictly for more than three months, you plateau towards the end and you slowly have to introduce certain carbs to get to maintenance weight. I think you can do the diet during a cutting cycle as well as when off cycle just be sure that during a cutting cycle cardio is kept to a mimimum and low intensity and protein is kept high (as well as total cals). To Bulk, its possible if calories kept high but also depends on how much body fat you have available as an energy source

Carb cycling I assume can be done all year round as your metabolism never adjusts and becomes costant with a set diet. Its probably best for cutting IMO.

I have read on other forums about the Pasquale diet. Good results.

Yeah, I got curious about this when Marius said he's been following the Pulambo diet for over a year. That would mean he was in ketosis for the bulking season right? Damn.
I always thought lots of carb was essential to recognise maximum bulk because your body likes to use carbs for fuel, but if marius put on hiss off season weight in ketosis then ja, I'm keen.
I thought about trying it in PCT but I'm worried about ketosis at this time because it's such a tricky time to maintain mass and I already got a little sick for a few days in PCT. I don't have much experience in keto diets though, so maybe my worries are pointless?
