my long lost friend...crum : )

hey crummy! how r ya mate?
long time no chat...i have been wondering lately...after the 12week original diet do you stick to the mod diet? what does your diet look like at present?

for me at present i am mixing up my diet..a lot of trial and error at the moment...i loved your diet, but unfortuneately plateau easily. constantly needing a change ive tried Donna Astons 'lifestyle' diet low in carbs high in good fats and proteins, but lotsa fibre.

Anyways..hope all is well.

I'm doing one carb up day per week. Basically, the first 3 meals are carbs and protein, the last 3 are fat and protein. I usualy eat about 75g carbs per meal, and low gi carbs like oatmeal and grapenuts cerial.

BTW, I'm taking 600mg ALA with each carb up meal.

My turn to ask a question...

This may have been asked already, but I can't take reading through thirty pages to find it. I'm getting ready to do a contest. What is your take on creatine? Would it help while dieting or possibly loading the last day or two before the show?

Thanks...

No, the object of this diet isn't to achieve ketosis, but to harness the power of the glycemic response system to use fat as a of fuel in conjunction with the glycogen system. Carbs are eatin, but only when glycogen levels are depleted via intensive exercise, and on optional carb-up days. By limiting carb intake you are provoking the body to release more fat, and at the same time limiting its ability to assimilate it.

A ketogenic diet is no carbs at all, done to achieve ketosis, and make fat the only source of fuel.

At least thats how I understand it, in its simplest explanation.
