keto and waxy maize

[juggy54]

im on a keto diet and i was wondering if my usual carb intake is around 60 carbs, then add a waxy maize shake pwo do you think this will throw me out of ketosis?

I know 8 and 20 still uses waxy PWO when doing keto, and clearly he knows what he's doing

yes i agree... since the Keto plan is an amazing new concept in weight loss based on a low carb approach to dieting.

New concept? Hmm

Dude, I prefer to keep my carbs as low as possible on keto - TKD is slightly altered for people on keto and internsive physical training regime. You are fine to have 20mg waxy maize PWO as this will be useed to replace glycogen in your muscles due to insulin. You should be able to get back into ketosis within a couple of hours.

I always find I kick into ketosis straight after a large does of good fats - use Ketostix (can get em in any pharmacy) so you know when you are in ketosis.

Personally the only catrbs I have on Keto are 20g oats PWO and vegetables. I carb bulk one day on the weekend if im feeling depleted.

well i wouldnt go that far.........

when i go low carb the only carbs i get are from my PWO in the form of WM. that is how much importance i place on that anabolic window.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the waxy maize is immediately transported to protein synthesis in muscle tissue, your liver glycogen would still remain completely depleted and ketosis would continue

All I know is I have a PWO shake with 20g Oats included and load it with crushed almonds and peanut butter - Im back in ketosis within 90 mins
