cut out the cardio-it is not necessary on a keto diet

Isn't the point of keto diet to cut fat? If so doesn't the cardio cut it even faster?

"In terms of training it would be great if you could do aerobics and weight train with the same energy and intensity as you would with carbohydrates in your system. Unfortunately you cannot. When your body is in a state of ketosis, you will probably feel a little lethargic, especially the first week. This doesn't mean that you should stop aerobic activity or weight training-just lower the intensity. Limit aerobics to 2 days per week on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. Limit weight training to 2 or 3 days during the week on nonaerobic days. You should train big muscle groups like legs, back, and/or chest on Monday when you still might have stored glycogen in your muscles. Save the small muscle groups like arms, shoulders, and calves for Tuesday or Wednesday" htis is a quote from George's Keto report.

atkins,duchaine,dipasquale said that cardio was not NECESSARY in ALL cases when on that type of diet

dice,have you ever been on a ketogenic diet? Or do you know anyone that has? I am jsut trying to get some first hand information on what to expect. I will be in ketosis for the 1st 12 days. Then I come out for 2 days and back on for 5. Continuing the on 5 off 2 for the remainder of the 14 weeks. Just looking for some firsthand infromation.

Like - Did the lack of carbs create frustration
Inability to think clearly
How much constipation did you have (if Any)
Did the fat loss start slowly and then progress rapidly or
was it a slow progression.
What are the hazards
What are alternative foods other than
meat,cheese,eggs, chicken, salad
WHAT WERE YOUR RESULTS?

I did it for a long time and lost a ton of fat without cardio-the fat loss is always greatest at the start of the keto diet. I ate everything dr dipasquale advised(bacon,sausage,eggs,ham,cheese...)

did you montior your calories very closely or eat whatever you wanted (within the allowed foods)
