Cant CKD or Keto, Alternative?

[latinhire]

Ive read the CKD and Keto diet postings (Well written Mr. X) but unfortunately dont have the luxury of time to really sit down and figure out the foods, quantities and ratios necessary to make it work.

I absolutely loath fatty foods, (hate the feeling it leaves afterwards), but i need to shed these handles...

My Protein intake accounts for nearly 75-80% of my calories..is it possible that im burinig Protein instead of Fat?

keep carbs under 30g a day mon-fri then carb up on sat-sun

Dice, thanks for the quick response...

Ive been doing just that....ive seen no results for the past 2 weeks...am i just being impatient? What constitutes a carb up on the weekends? How much? Why?

OOOOOOOOK.
Are You gettin any results keeping you protein intake that high? On a keto Fat should take up 80% of your calories and 20%.

thanks oompha but im not on a keto diet...near it but not in Keto...just keeping the carbs down ( i eat TONS of vegetables )

I know fat should make up a larger protion of my diet, but..i cant sell myself in increasing my fatty foods intake, so im gonna just force down soem flax seed oil...

My main concern is if i am burning Protein instead of fat at this point...at which i am looking for a response regarding the perameters necessary in order to avoid. Ie, cardio rates, what certain foods can i eat to help avoid such a process and at which times....

Am i getting results?? Dropped 40lbs in 8 weeks and decreased my fat % by about 10 in 9.5 weeks.

Don't like fat

Wow, hehehe I almost don't want to stop doing the ckd diet. Its great, all week long I'm eating cheese, hamburger, and bacon (homer drool...) lots of bacon. Then on the weekends I wake up to ice cream, or doughnuts, and about the same all weekend long. After lunch on sunday with church people, go home shoot some slin, hit keto and back to bacon
And through it all I've got a lower bf % then I have EVER had, and am stronger to boot (thats an inventive part, nothing to do with keto)
But enough rambling, try getinng a good tasting protien shake, and mix in a tbsp or two of flax or udo's choice, lots of good fats, and doesn't taste like "fatty" food

The fat doesn't bother me what does is cutting my protein so drastically. I have always been use to a shit load of protein in my diets, and have always been told that builds muscle, so when i am eating only 15% of my cals in protein that worries me.

NO ! diamond why would he want to do that? Thatd be borderline ketosis and trust me youre going to feel like shit.

Go on a 40-30-30 diet, it work great and you have all the carbs you could want. PM me for more info if needed.

 

[BIGGYSMALLZ]

You should keep your carbs under 20g a day or don't even bother!!

Here's a link to bunch of diets. Personally I like Isocaloric, but some people do well on Zone (like blood suggested.) Keto and CKD don't work for everyone. If you're eating that much protein, a good portion of it is turning to glucose--complex carbs are cheaper.
