I take it your cutting. Clen will work great and keep your EFA's high.

Remano, you will be able to take any supplements that have a zero total carbohydrate content. This means staying away from all your dextrose based pre-workout and intra-workout drinks as well as any energy drinks that have a high glucose content. I personally take Muscle Marinade as a pre-workout drink which provides an effective carb free energy boost at gym. I also take whey protein, flaxseed oil, multivitamins and glutamine. Another good addition to a keto-diet will be psylium husk which is a high fibre supplement taken to help the body's digestion/bowel movements while it is in a carb defficient state.

There's a few debates out on glutamine on keto due to the high rate of glucose conversion. The jury isn't out yet but I've left it out just in case.

Didn't know that, I'll be really interested to find out.

Avoid stimulants on keto, it spikes insulin levels, check out this thread:

glutamine can convert to glucose very easily,you can take 10g of bcaa's during a work out and a pre work out drink such as jack3d or muscle marinade,that and some creatine and thats all good to go...
