Is GLUTAMINE Bad On Ketogenic Days?

[MonStar1023]

I have read in a few places that glutamine has the potential to kick you out of ketosis while doing a CKD type diet..

I was going to supplement my diet with 5g of creatine along with 5g of glutamine postworkout.. is this bad??

HELP!

I'd use glutamine if I were you-I used to do it when I did a keto diet

So my 5g glutamine and 5g creatine would be okay then postworkout on TRAINING days??

Glutamine will ade in restoring glycogen but I don't think it will knock you out of ketosis. Charles Poliquin is a big supporter of low-no carb diet and glutamine. He has tons of info, do a search on yahoo you'll find something there. Remember you can never have enough glutamine. Aids patients are given 200+ grams a day. That 5 grams will be absorber by your get before your muscles. The stress of dieting and lifting will increase the need for glutamine.

Hoped this helped.
