Anyone have any experience running this protocol while eating a strict keto diet with an 18:6 IF? How are you doing meal timing, overall energy levels, fasted lifting? What’s your protein intake look like and have you run into issues with gluconeogenesis due to protein increase and/or supplementation?

its a great program but it is setup for mass gain which keto is not condusive too. I would setup more like this

16:8 on lifting days
18:6 on non lifting days

Lifting days-
Protein-1.5*BW
Carbs- 100g in the peri-workout window
Fat- Rest of calories
Calories- if looking to lose fat- set at maintenance, if looking to gain- set at +500

Non-Lifting Days
Protein- 1*BW
Carbs- Trace from veggies only
Fat- rest of calories
Calories- If looking to lose fat- set at -500, if looking to gain- set at maintenance or +200

Thanks for the help and this thread is an amazing resource. I’ve used it to clarify several points in the book where you can tell JP is in no way a scholar.

I feel so great <20g carbs my mental clarity and energy has increased so profoundly I don’t think I want to increase the carb intake. I know I will sacrifice some strength in this regard, but intend to supplement with creatine. I always hear the threat of gluconeogensis, but most of the time people disregard it. The whole keto thing is tough because there are not any real authoritative sources outside of Dom D’Agostino the majority have zero qualifications and even some Chiropractors trying to pass themselves off as real “Drs” which most people associate with physicians. Gives the whole WOE a bad name honestly.
