This is one of the downfalls of ketogenic dieting and why carb-ups are a must. This is the reason I didn't like CKDs and super low carb diets in general, I never had sufficient energy to do good workouts.

Do a serious refeed day. I saw on here somwhere that you did one a few days ago right?????

I personally do a refeed meal or 2 once every 3 days or so. It keeps me going and I don't feel like my WO's are suffering at all.

I've been doing ketosis diets the last few weeks. I have had 2 carb ups but only once felt zapped of energy and that was because I was on a cross trainer. I think it is because maybe your calorie and fat levels are too low. Remember, if you are on this kind of diet you have to eat very frequently. I work out 7 days a week and do cardio 7 days a week. Heres how my diet usually looks, or something like this

Meal 1

4-6 eggs scrambelled with about 1/8th a cup of butter, 2 hamburgers chopped up in it, 125 grams of turkey, table spoon of peanut butter

Meal 2

4 Hard boiled eggs, 125 grams of turkey, low fat jello

Meal 3

3 Eggs, 4 hot dog weiners

Meal 4

2 Eggs, 6 sausage links

Meal 5

2 Cans of Tuna mixed w/ Mayonaise, Table spoon of peanut butter


I usually use Xenadrine too but I ran out, (DON'T ORDER FROM BODYBUILDING.COM, MY ORDER IS TAKING WAAAAAAY LONGER THAN THEY SAY IT WILL). I usually just take 1 pill before my workout session and that keeps me going till bed time. If you are feeling extremely zapped, try taking a caffine pill. I have to do that every now and then and those also work great. Multi-vitamins too. Good Luck

Georgie-
What's your training split look like? Also, how long and what do your carb ups look like? Best advice I can give is to work out the first 2 days after a carb up, or on the last day and then two more if you don't want to do a 2 day split. Once you hit ketosis, it's tough to get in a decent workout.
