Thats my theory.

Give it a break for a couple of weeks. Eat high protein med. carbs and low fat. You should probably go ahead and bump up your cal. intake on this break also. Then go back to atkins.

If you are wanting to get off the diet for a while I would recomend that you start trading some fat for protein and then lower the fat even more and add carbs.

On workout days I can go as many as 20 gr. of carbs for one meal and stay in ketosis.

I'm also interested.:cool:

As long as its not a huge amount and you throw in some flax or something to slow the digestion I wouldn't think it would hurt.

Ditto and throw in some EFAs. They are good fer ya and will slow digestion.:cool:

Ditto. Be careful with the intensity levels. To high of an intensity level eaither post workout or pre breakfast can result in burning more muscle than necessary.:cool:

Both. Do your weight training and then do 30 min of cardio. At your age and size you don't need to go below 1800 cals. a day. That is a clean 1800 cals. Eat oatmeal, brown rice, egg whites, chicken, tuna etc. Get some flax oil or natural penut butter for fat consumption. Dieting can be a...

You can buy a small toaster oven that will cook more stuff than most people realize. Also an electric skillet, microwave, small grill all work well. Everything I eat can be cooked by onw of these. I love to grill.:cool:

I'm no expert but I'd say you'd be better off spending that money by going to cooking school. Seriously, 1600 cals. a day for a body builder aint enough. As far as the quality of the food I'm sure a home cooked meal would be much healthier. You don't have to get fancy with cooking to eat...

The point of the 4 hours low fat was so that you didn't store the fat as fat due to insulin spike. The part about getting back into ketosis was to not do 2 day carb up so that you didn't completely fill your glycogen stores thus depleting them faster when you went to low carbing again. At...

Is this a new diet. If so give it a couple of weeks and see. If not new then yes bump up the cals by about 100-200/meal.

Do a search on cutting gel. There is a post somewhere on here that offers plenty of opinions on the stuff.
