Ketogenic Diet Plan

Bodybuilding Cyclic Ketogenic Diet

This Ketogenic diet is NOT the Atkins diet they are very different. The Ketogenic diet allows you to maintain and even increase the amount of muscle that you hold while losing fat at the same time. It works but you need to stick to the very specific rules to make it work.

If you are seriously thinking about doing this then you need to set up the diet, which should start with you writing down your lean body weight. That is NOT your bodyweight that you see on the scale, it is the weight of the muscles only.

You do this by getting a skin caliper body-fat reading and then simply subtract that percentage from your total body weight and you will have the amount of lean body mass you have. You then take the number of pounds of your lean body weight and multiply by 1.

At 1 gram of protein per pound of pound of lean body weight you will be able to cater for your intense workouts and continue to gain muscle. It is also important for your recovery from workouts but also to supply enough nitrogen retention to keep the muscle you already have.

It is also a very good idea to plan ahead as mentioned above by carb counter guide doing a carbohydrate sweep of foods in your kitchen and to restock the kitchen with low carb foods. You also need to be prepared to spend a bit more time in the kitchen preparing foods for the day ahead.

You need to get psyched for this to work as the bottom line when doing the Ketogenic diet “NO SUGAR!!” and that includes breads of any kind, no rice, pastas, wheat, or potatoes and lentils. It is also recommended that you buy some Ketostix Reagent Strips so that you can check to see if you are in ketosis for the first few weeks.

You need to keep a close track your daily food intake and carb counts and think ahead about your food choices in a social situation. It obviously is not a good idea to focus on your total bodyweight but rather focus on fat-loss.

Here is an example diet for two days:

Day1: Breakfast: 2 egg whites, Sausage (no sugar or carbs), Bacon.

Lunch: Chicken with skin Steamed broccoli.

Supper: Steak with cheese and Fried mushrooms and Leafy green salad.

Day 2: Breakfast: 2 egg white omlette with fried mushrooms and parsley. Lunch: One duck breast or chicken with skin and a green salad.

Supper: Hamburger Pattie with high fat mince no bun. (No syrup or sugar). Cheese, Lettuce, tomatoes, and leafy green veggies.
