As i have posted in the past i am a weight lifter and a health nut.
I have been in ketosis for about 3 weeks. I had a high carb diet for about 2 years but decided to go for a low carb with less protein. I just wanted to see what the results would be.
I am no doctor, believe me (had to take Bio 101 2 X). But i did the normal amount of research that i always do on any unknown subject. It appears there is no known minimum carb requirements on a daily diet.
Results:
1. Energy is increased as i can do more reps with lower weights.
2. Ultimate strength is decreased , but i can do more reps with a total weight lifted greater.
3. Much greater endurance.
4. I lost 3" in my waist. I am now at 27"(have to buy boys jeans size 16). Chest still 37".
5. Weight went down 7 lbs.
My mind appears clearer, i can concentrate with greater clarity.
Daily protein 40 grams,fat is around 60 to 70% of caloric intake, carbs around 20 gram.
I realize i up can not keep this diet up for an extended period of time, but i will decrease carbs in the future.
