DP Keto Diet..

Following on from: http://www.muscletalk.c...Refeed-day-m3645066.aspx

The diet consists of roughly:


EDIT: I REALISE THAT THE CALCULATION I HAVE MADE FOR THE FAT CONTENT OF  WHOLE EARTH PEANUT BUTTER (1.5 TABLE SPOONS) IS WRONG. HENCE THE TOTAL GRAMS OF FAT IS WRONG.

-For a 200lb male

What would be the best way to manipulate this for myself. Currently at 75KG,  5ft 6 and guessing fairly high body fat 20% probably, need to kill off the belly :P Will try post pics soon! Im thinking about tweeking the highlited meals which are very calorie dense, any suggestions on how to do so? But still maintain enough pro/fat to get into ketosis.

Thanks!

lilbigman I think they are trying to out-alpha you.

The above is not a keto diet at all. Too high in protein and too low in fat.

What is your current diet and training plan?

As Iopener says and I know I posted it as a keto diet Its not. More of a CKD I think.

Anyway I've run the diet as is because I,m doing a recomp. I've been out of training for a year so I thought I'd try this to lean out a bit before I go into a bulk.

What Ihave found is weight dropped initially prob from water and then stayed steady for about 4 weeks. This doesn't mean that nothing is happening though as I have a lot more muscle mass in place off the fat I have dropped.

If I were you i Would use less whey instead of less real food like you've highlighted.

P.s. Refeeds are heaven and allow you to actually have a life on the weekend lol.

Chris, any ketogenic diet needs to have fat calories much higher than protein, otherwise youll just convert protein into glucose and kick yourself out and stand a higher chance of losing muscle as you do not give your body any other source of fuel to work off of.

theiopener: What would be the best way to manipulate the outline in order to adjust for a keto diet?

My current diet:
1: 60g oats+30g whey+100ml skim milk+2.5 apples
2: 300g prawns +veg
apple
3: train
-45mins weights (split training, 1 body part per week)
-30mins x-trainer, 10mn stepper, 10min rowing back-to-back
(alternating between fasted cardio  3 times per week and HIIT 3 times per week if i can fit them in)
4: apple+30g whey
5: 200g chicken or prawns + veg + apple
6: 200g cottage cheese+100g frozen fruit

Chris: Does that mean the diet did work for you? Despite weight not changing much i assume you retained a lot of muscle/put some on?

You suggest removing the whey and replacing with whole food? The whey dosen't make up a high % of the total kcals in the diet....

Thanks

Your answer lies in the linked thread by Chrisellion <sp>  1.5 gms protein per pound, 0.5 grams fat (although this can fluctuate upto 0.75 depending on metabolism) and no direct sources of carbs, generally under 40 but I think closer to 20-30 is better and what I achieve.   As a percent energy it's about 60p/30f/10c or thereabouts but I reckon setting up your energy requirements according to bodyweight is better/more accurate.
 
As the rest have pointed out, it's high protein moderate fat which is not Keto, proper keto wouldn't go above a moderate amount of protein and high fat.
 
The first 12-14 days of the diet, the initiation or adaptation phase of the diet should be high fat/low to moderate protein to teach your body how to use fat for energy and not protein, after that you can tinker away with the macros.

This is why I get confused. 1.5gms pro/lb and 0.5gms fat/lb:
165lb:
pro: 247g = 988kcal
fat:  83g = 747kal
carb: 25g = 100kcal

So it will not be 1.5gms pro  0.5gms fat/lb....

I will always mix it up, so the above is not set in stone. I like to do 1 more session of HIIT if time permits around saturday evening, but because my schedule is usually prone to change I will try to get as much of the above in on my week.

But I would prefer more help on the keto diet rather than my training, thats why i posted it here

Cheers

lilbigman I think they are trying to out-alpha you.

Training and especially hiit is important on keto due to the demands it places on glycogen.  I wouldn't advise hiit if your only carbing up 1 meal per week, stick to liss or increase the frequency of your refeed, good information here www.bodyrecomposition.com/ on keto/training et al!!

Cheers Iopener, just done a little more research and you are spot on. Why the hell does Dave Palumbo state its a keto diet then? Also why do I get the metalic taste around tues night after refeed? Is this not the ketones?

Well being honest i think your training is lacking., You can get away with  most dietary sins with a good enough training plan. HIIT i personally think needs kicking up a notch. interval sprints on a treadmill is what you need to start doing. Up the duration of your sprints to 30 seconds and have a 60 second rest between sprints. Repeat the intervals for 10x and include a 5 min warmup and cooldown, make sure to stretch thoroughly afterwards

I also think your trianing could do with some reorganising. Keto diet isnt needed to shed the fat, you just need to readjust your training.

Pop over to the training forum and ill suggest something, or if you want i can PM you.

No idea. I dont rate Dave as a source of information when it comes to diets etc. Lyle McDonald is the man for keto info.

No idea on the metallic taste unfortunately!

I dunno man, Dave knows a thing or two, I've found him very knowledgeable!  I think the problem is the DP 'Keto' diet is a cookie cutter diet, if you want something personal/coaching you gotsta pony up the dough!!  Totally agree that Lyle knows his stuff and has put a tremendous amount of work into nutrition/dieting/keto!
