Message: [QUOTE="Walker11, post: 2146000, member: 380"] I am weaker. I don't think its a sustainable diet for me while I am trying to gain strength. I just have a small amount of stubborn fat I am trying to remove and keto is helping in that regard. In 6 weeks, most of my lifts have declined about 10 lbs, so not ideal. After 4-5 days, I felt like absolute s___ and actually went to the doctor to get some blood work done. After 3 weeks I became fully acclimated and had a lot more energy to sustain myself throughout the workday without having crashes, but at the gym I would still notice a lack of strength. I'm also on a 500-1000 calorie deficit per day so that obviously affects me as well. I have never done keto on maintenance. I have to imagine that eating good carbs on a lift day is beneficial, and I will be getting back to that in about a month. I think the benefit of keto is that is kills your appetite. Good for cutting but not good for anything else. [/QUOTE]
