For the next two days I will be double my protein and try to keep my fat and carbs real low. By doing this I will burn off my carbs faster. Then if I burn protein for fuel the double will keep from burning muscle. So by the third day I will be back to burning fat.

I’ve been doing keto for  weeks 7 weeks now and have went from 360 to 328(32pounds). Keto for myself  has been easy compared to other eating diets. I look at people at work doing all these different way of starving  them selves and compare keto to them, and keto wins.  Maybe its because I love eggs, meat and greans. I can live without bread, pasta,candy and high carb drinks. I had tried to do a low fat, low carb diet, and lost a lot of good mass. Now that I understand that your body can only burn fat or carbs for energy, keto is for me. I’m still doing a refeed on saturdays, but not to the degree that it takes all the way to tuesday to get back to burning fat. I used to eat everything i could think of just because, in my mind  I thought i could. Now I know that the refeed is just another name for keeping the body confused. Now I limit the carbs I eat just to fill up my my body for leg day(monday) and back/bicep day on tuesday.

what has been everyones keto  try? and could they keep it up for atleast 6 months?

This Tuesday us our mid weigh in. At first I wasn’t going to join, but I had already set a goal to lose 60 pounds in two months and when I went to work and saw that the weigh INS and end date was the same as my goal dates I entered. I know I have an advantage being on bodybuilding.com, but I always say that " the one with the best support and info will always win". I’m halfway in the comp and on track to lose 60 pounds in 2 months and win $300.
