Hey everyone. Dieting for show in Aug. as some of you may know. I'm still in the early stages(just ending my second week) and I'm having good success in weight loss doing keto all week with a skipload on sunday. I baselined on wed. and dropped another lb today so it seems to be working well in that respect.
Trouble is, now I'm starting to drag ass in the gym after a few sets. I'm more used to keeping a high intensity through my workout(which lasts for just under and hour usually). I've read Lyle McDonalds book on ketogenic dieting and he mentions under the targeted keto section, using up to 50g pre and post workout to fuel workout and recovery. The caveat being dropping out of ketosis for up to a couple hours. Personally I can live with dropping from ketosis for a bit if I can maintain training intensity.
Before I really give it a go however, I'm curious if any of our IM competitors have used this approach and how you liked it? Did it hinder your fat loss at all?
What would be a good carb source to use for this purpose? I know sucrose and fructose are out because they will refill liver glycogen. I was considering using Pure Karbolyn, 50g pre and post.
Thoughts?
