From what I read so far it sounds like

Keto M-F
High carb no fat Sat-Sun?


Is that right?

I've been doing that too. Mon-Fri is pretty good, then the train goes off the rails.

I already know it's going to be completely off the track Saturday night at 8pm.

Football season is tough. I don't fall off completely though. I'm usually holding for dear life. Thank god for these upper body #gainz.


Those miller lites (3.2 carbs per 12 oz) start flowing and it'll put me over my carb limit on Saturdays for sure.

You guys got to have that drive on the weekends too

How many regulars in this thread fall off the train on the weekends???

For a while I was doing 6 days keto (<50g net) and then a single cheat day then repeat. Then I spent 4 days in a Cancun all-inclusive and eat like shite then a few weeks later traveled to Philadelphia for a business conference and ate like shite.

So I've been trying to maintain pretty strict keto until Thanksgiving to right the ship. Still crush halo top regularly though.

I don't cheat with beer though. I'll drink whiskey all day long. I'm just a sucker for bread and desserts.

I guess I'm different because I take it to the top level by competing
I have to diet, super strict, 24/7 for 7 months
Taking a weekend off or taking off on a business trip is not an option for me...
I can't even think about eating 99% of what you guys eat on a keto diet

But you guys are doing it, getting results, and I'm proud of y'all
One day, I'll retire for competing and join you guys.
I enjoy seeing you guy's food pics

Keep it up

yeah.. most of us are/were fat fricks who just want to be reasonably healthy. I like lifting weights and I like losing weight but there's no way I would want to do it for a competition.

That's how I got started
I was the fat kid, couldn't get girls, etc...
Got real sick in the summer of 2007, lost about 55 pounds in 2 months (went from 195 to 140)
My cousin got me into weight lifting
I started putting on muscle, getting into shape, and started getting dates.
I let it get to my head and wanted more... got into bodybuilding/powerlifting... loved the results, loved the training, loved pushing myself to limits I never knew existed, and loved the hot women I was pulling...
Now I just do it because I want to be the best.. because I know I can do better and I want to push myself passed my limits

How is it working??

Tough to really say since I haven't followed it the way I should. I plan to starting Monday thru the rest of the year 100% so I'll know more in a few weeks. I refuse to just wait till New Years and use the "holidays" excuse

Close. Gregory combined parts of the anabolic diet with IF. You still eat within the 8 hr window everyday. Low carb during the week - typically a protein and a veggie. But not keto, though, as you have a mini "carb spike" at the end of each weeknight with a fruit - usually banana, and peanut butter. Saturday Sunday (or Friday Saturday) you usually do a "cheat meal" both nights. Not necessarily low fat, high carb. Just whatever you're craving without going too far overboard

ETA: he's also a big fan of lunges as a primary form of conditioning. 400m 4-5 days a week. I'm still working my way up to that
