Im interested in keto diets anymore to be honest i was just curious to hpw insulin really acts on the bodys ability to store and how long it does this after its been spiked with high glycemic foods. I sort of get around 150g of carbs on workout days and keep it to around 100 on rest days so im...

Hey, with all the research iv put in over the last few months theres still a few questions un answerd. Insulin being my main one. Say im in ketosis and eating roughly 25g of carbs aday, if i were to consume 60g of carbs all at once from a energy drink this would kick me out of ketosis because it...

Sorry if you didnt get what i was on about, all i wanted to know was, whats the science behind sweetners spiking insulin when there are no carbs?

Can someone explain why sweetners such as Aspartame kick some people out of ketosis and not others? Im not sure if its the aspartame or peanuts but somethings screwing me up! Id give up if i cant drink pepsi max or sugar free redbull, the diets hard enough without not being allowed diet sodas...

I have greens with every meal bar Meal1 and 5, im thinking of scraping the meal5 for another chicken breast and veg with tbsp EVOO. And instead of adding more oats just take the original meal 5 straight after the afternoon workout sessions and after MMA on tuesdays and Thursdays.

I still think at around 2000 cals with caffine i could man up and power through the weekly training plan. Would it be ok to...
