Hi @khaleelkazi. Great to hear your diet is working out. I thought it would. I wonder if you are not feeling faint but have enough energy throughout the day. Have a great one.

Hi @khaleelkazi. Great to hear your diet is working out. I thought it would. I wonder if you are not feeling faint but have enough energy throughout the day. Have a great one.
Hey @mineopoly! Thanks! I actually feel much better in the times when I'm not eating! I do an intermittent fasting routine that has me eating for a small 6-7 hour window each day so I spend the majority of my time in a fasted state. I only notice fatigue after I eat my first meal which is likely because of the insulin effects! The only other time I feel noticeable fatigue is towards the end of a really intense lift, sometimes I feel like I'm crawling out of the gym!
Right. That's what I thought. It really interesting to see you cope with this diet and record in detail the results. It is like a lab experiment on yourself:)
increase fat consumption./
Yes @hansdewet. That would do it and satisfy the urging inside. Avocado is great for that.
Increasing fat consumption would definitely give me more energy, but wouldn't help me break through a weight-loss plateau. My fat ratio is already 85%, but your point is definitely good for a lot of new Keto dieters who don't realize that their fat/protein/carb ratio is off point!
Well put @khaleelkhazi.
Hey if you are plateauing look at intermittent fasting! 16 hour cycles, more bursting exercise, shorter workout could trigger the next wave of weight loss, also focus on supporting/ cleaning you liver. You may not have lost all the visceral fat in or around you liver... IF + Keto go hand in hand point being to become fat adapted or metabolically flexible, fasting also triggers an HGH increase of 2000% for men, and autophagy which is anti aging, disease preventing, and awesome!
Mark Sisson is a great ref for athletes on Keto!
Good luck and good job!
