The Ketogenic Sponge

[Rhino99]

Wow.
Ok......

 

[Chillinlow]

It’s a tuff road just cause your limited to so little of what you can eat unless you have time to cook your own meals

 

[Spongy]

Wow.
Ok......

yeah, I eat a lot of the same stuff. I burn upwards of 2000 calories or more during endurance days.

There hasn't been a Ketogenic Spongy update in two weeks.

Word is he went crazy and hijacked a bread truck.

I thought my subscription expired....

Now I'm picturing spongy huddled in a corner snorting pixie sticks.

Well i hope he and the fam are good, 8 needs a diet as well, just no keto for me, hopefully his endurance aspirations didnt hurt him

 

[Spongy]

Alright all. I made it a month and it was a great experience. My weight evened out for the most part and leaned out a bit for sure.

I'm slowly adding carbs back in at this point just to get back to a more traditional diet. I enjoyed keto but I miss the pumps in the gym and things are really starting to ramp up with the endurance training and I honestly felt as though I wasn't able to push myself as hard and I dont think keto was conducive to my goals at this time.

I will likely revisit it after my event in March when I get back to a more conventional training schedule.

I'm honestly looking forward to giving it another go under different circumstances and for a longer period of time!

Feel free to ask any questions, but keep in mind I only went for a month.

That gives me an idea...

Did you see any advantages?

Did you see any advantages?

Oh for sure. I could definitely see it being advantageous when trying to break through a plateau while cutting. It also really simplifies cooking because of the limited options, I basically ate the same thing almost every day.

As weak as I felt in the gym, I honestly felt pretty damn good during my endurance training. My energy levels were pretty on par with how I feel when I am eating 95% clean. I very rarely felt hungry despite the deficit on some days. It was also nice to eat cheese and cuts of meats I normally don't eat.

I’d be curious to see how you feel doing endurance running with yohimbine. As I mentioned, it seems to put me in a similar state.

If you don’t mind, I’d be curious the weight you gain bringing the carbs back..I know slowly but how much weight gain do they cause?

I bet he puts on 8lbs in 2 days.

 

[jennerrator]

I bet he puts on 8lbs in 2 days.

Yea, I figure that to an extent and I'm sure it can be more as it just depends on amount eaten...I am truly happy that I don't even need a big amount of carbs to function...haven't been a big carb eater in years...and have no issues with training or thinking lol...maybe my body is just used to it.

 

[Spongy]

Total weight lost was 12 lbs, I'm sure quite a bit of it was water and glycogen. Eating 100g carbs today, 35g are fiber. I will let you know what happens with the weight.

 

[Maijah]

I eat 100 grams of carbs for breakfast.. I need a serious adjustment in my diet I eat too much if everything, I curious to see how fast you gain weight back as well Spong. How do you feel/look? Leaner? Tighter?

 

[Chillinlow]

How were the joints? Every time I’ve done keto pr even low carb diet my joints start to hurt ache when lifting.
