Dear Confused,
To start off, you need to distinguish the difference between CDK and a Ketonic diet.
>CDK: is a low-carb...ex..200lb male has 50-100 carbs all in the morning as oatmeal or brown rice (very low glycemic carbs)
>Target Ketonic diet: HAVE 0 carbs during the day, but have 25-50 powder carbs (like Carbo Max, by max muscle - no sugars), (or baked potatoe), w/ your protein shake right after your workout
>Ketosis
this is what you seem to be trying to do) is a NO CARB diet (limited to 8-10 for the whole day, and not more then 6 carbs at a time)
You should get 85% fat/ 15% protein until you get into Ketosis, once in ketosis every day you change things by 5%...EX... you get into Ketosis on WED... that means on WED your diet is 80% fat/ 20%, THUR> 75% fat/ 25% protein..FRI 70% fat/ 30% protein...SAT> 65% fat/ 35% protein (don't go below 65% fat, I do not reccomend it personally)
Now your fats need to be clean (or try to eat clean fats at least) Flaxseed oil, (at least, 1tbsp 3 times a day), grapeseed oil (high in Omega 6)...you can have steak ofcource, but try to get the cuts that have fat but not too much...you don't want to have A LOT of saturated fat.> A good way is to have tuna w/ MaYo
--> when I started bodybuilding years ago, I used to be short on money, so all I ate was tuna and Mayo, it ripped me up like someone slashed my abs w/ a knife
