Atkins, Anabolics, Cutting

Because while in ketosis you are dehydrated. Period. Carbs help the body retain water. Like I said, it has been likened to pouring water into a sieve. Have you ever made macaroni and cheese and strained the macaroni in a colander? In ketosis, your body is a colander, pouring water in it only keeps it wet very briefly. And your joints suffer, especially if you lift heavy objects, i.e. weight lifting.

Water is very important in fatloss, if your liver isn't sufficiently hydrated, it will not burn fat as efficiently. Water is important for a whole host of other reasons, but suffice it to say, drink plenty of water, and often.

Well, I'm 350lbs, 6ft 7. I drink 2-3 gallons a day normally. Is this enough during ketosis also?

That should be fine.

I don't know if I am going to do the ketosis thing again. I felt great while on. I think mainly because ketosis hampers your immune system, and since I have pretty bad allergies, they bothered me much less. But it is a grind doing it for weeks and weeks. And the carb ups typically bring about pathological eating habits, which aren't healthy in the long run. If I were to help someone out now, I would tell them to see how they respond to cutting out all simple sugars, and no carbs after say 5 or 6pm.

Oh yeah, another thing on that immune system thing, if you do get sick, throw in some carbs. Also, if you really want to do this diet, buy Lyle McDonald's book. There is so much more knowledge there, it is amazing. Great informative book.

Anyways, the lowcarb, no-carb diet is so anti-social, and I now know my body well enough that I can get similar results without going to the zero carb range, that I just lower my carbs, and cut out the simple sugars.

That, and when it gets cooler, I will go with dnp. At that point, it just doesn't fucking matter, you just lose fat baby, lol.
