Flackers...meh, not sold on them yet.

the 10% anti-ketogenic is due to the fact that the glycerol portion of triglycerides, explained in A Primer on Dietary Fats, can be converted to glucose in the liver).

Just Need to hit 5 more lbs by end of lent to make goal. 4.5 weeks left till easter...it's possible I could get down to 180 by then or close to it.

Congrats man!

Does it feel like it is getting easier to stay on your diet?

Absolutely. I haven't cheated in a single meal yet. Only had maybe 3 beers in 2 weeks. Feels great. The food part is locked in.

So basically too much protein can turn into glucose and knock you out of ketosis right?

Should your macro ratios change if you are highly active (working out) compared to being more sedentary?

---

Gluconeogenesis seems to be demand driven.

You can go in and out of ketosis frequently in the day. Don't sweat it.

If you feel like diving in some more, check out this ketogains thread and this thread

You'd want a higher protein target if working out, yeah. See the below quoted portion.

I personally target 0.9g/lb lbm

Cliff notes, don't exceed over 1.2g protein per lean pound and you'll have no issues.

Note, this is lean pounds. So if you weigh 200lbs and are 20% BF, you'd use 160lbs of lean body mass to calculate your protein macro target.

from the Ketogains FAQ:

So, to not spin the wheels endlessly around this topic, the suggested protein intake depends from person to person and should be set according to lean body mass and activity / exercise levels:

Sedentary people: 0.69 to 0.8g per lean pound

Mildly active or doing endurance / strength training: 0.8 to 1.0g per lean pound

Heavy strength training / bodybuilders / PSMF: 1.0 up to 1.2g per lean pound

I gotta get my wife to translate this thread now.

I'm in over my head. It's a jungle in here.

nah man, it's really not that complicated, I'm just posting this technical shite for those who are interested. Use the ketogains macro calculator to set your diet targets, eat the food (including water/electrolytes), push some weight, do cardio if you choose to, and reap the #gainz.

How often should you reset macros when you are losing weight? Every 10 lbs or so?

trial and error.

The calculator should be used as a starting point and not as an unmovable truth; even if the calculator tells you you should be eating 3,000 kcals to lose fat, review and experiment. If you are meeting your goals within a 2 week period, stick to the protocol. If on the contrary, you are either not losing or gaining, either adjust calories, macronutrients or training.

Thanks for the knowledge man.

I eat about .8g right now and since I just started to work out again I was curious about the increase. Now I know I should at least bump it up to 1g.
