Ketogenic diet side effects?
-
Saturday, August 25, 2007 5:21 PM
( #1 )
Started today, as I have 5 months left until I need to see my abs (turning 40 then)
I did one a couple of years back and remember that I got very irritable in the first week, sometimes aggressive even.
Now all I have so far is an ever increasing headache and the desire to eat an entire cake with beer ...
What else would I need to expect besides the already mentioned?
Thanks,
Frank

the 5.5lb. in 5 days is almost completely water weight. but thats good news for u at this point because normally if u lose 5.5lb. and only 1/2in. on ur waist it would have been almost all muscle.

If thats waterweight, shouldn't the scale show a higher bodyfat %? I know they are not that accurate, but still.
The 'burn' sensation is probably coming next week.
Once that starts the weight comes off quickly. It did a couple of years ago.

Once ketosis sets in, the energy level goes up and it feels like you are burning up the fat.

Last time I did that I could feel the metabolism switch to burning fat. Same happens during ultra distance races, feels like a second wind.
It just feels as if you're burning the fat. At least for me. Maybe if you do regular bulking/cutting cycles you're used to it more.
How much do you lose per week while in ketosis? I ended up with 20 lbs in 1 month (which stayed that way for over 2 years after the ketodiet was over).

Pretty much all of it. At least thats what the calipers said. And I needed new clothes.
Now with 2 kids and a carreer that has crept back up, so now its gotta go.

hmm its hard to believe u lost 20lb. in 1 month with hardly any muscle loss. i mean the 20lb. of fat is hard enough but with almost no muscle loss thats either a mistake or very impressive. how much cardio did u do during that time?

about 2 hrs a day plus commuting 10mls each way by bike.
Plus lots of protein.
The weight I had gained until then was due to heavy corticosteroids (asthma) for several years, which I finally got under control just before the diet.
Before that I used to row on national level and race MTB worldcup, so basically a comeback as an athlete. Training was no news to me.

Back then i just ate all the time
I raced on international level until 2 years ago, quite sucessfully, too.
Cardio was the main focus then.
