Does ALA help you get into Ketosis???

[PieceOfShit]

How does ALA help you get into Ketosis faster? I thought that you only took it with your carbs on your re-feed days.

ALA will shuttle carbs into your muscles on carb up days, which in turn will help you deplete your glycogen storage faster after a carb up day, which is probably the hardest time to get into ketosis since you just ingested a shit load of carbs...

ALA

How long should you take ALA for? During the carb up or until day 1 or 2?

 

[TEXWS6]

just during your carb up day i would recommend, because during days 1-6 you shouldn't even be taking in over 30g of carbs all day long...
