FT Questions....

[Tintin]

Thank you for your answer Mr Stevenson, very appreciated !

Just about the last point, keto diet.

So, please do make use of the search function here.

I am a fan of low carb diets (or low carb non-training days), but I think the virtues of a keto diet *from a bodybuilding* perspective are a bit overrated, except for the effect they have in blunting hunger.

I'm not a fan of training a muscle group more than twice without a carb-up of some sort to replace lost glycogen and aid in recovery. This is not going to work with the generic approach you have there.

I'd suggest picking up and reading Lyle McDonald's The Ketogenic Diet. Still the best guide out there as far as CKD's, TKD's, etc.

-S

Following this I've read Lyle McDonald's book "The Ketogenic Diet", Dan Duchaine's book "The Anabolic Diet" and Underground BodyOpus's book.

I have some difficulties to understand everything ( first because it's against preconceived ideas of classical bodybuilding, second because my english is poor.
) BUT I think have understood that the CKD may be very interesting to cut fat (and may be used to gain mass, Dan Duchaine say so but Lyle McDo seems not convinced)

My actual goal is to remove my excess bodyfat on my belly, vestige of a shameful past, so I would like to give it a shot.

So, I don't ask you to establish my diet, but would much appreciated as always if you can give me your green light with this :

Cyclical Keto Diet

2000 kcal
Prot 35%
Fat 60%
Carbs 5% (from veggies)

Saturday & Sunday: Carb load
2000kcal
Prot 20%
Fat : 35%
Carbs : 45%

EDIT : what do you recommand between carb load saturday & sunday OR start loading on friday after last workout till saturday night ??

By the way, I would to open a diet & training journal on a french forum, do you mind if I do so ? I would like to give the people the desire to look into FT training , of course I won't share my pdf and / or explain all the contents of it !!
