But I think you miss the benefits of training in a fasted/carbohydrate restricted state. Research has shown that training in this scenario enhances the cellular responses triggered by exercise, for example, increasing glycogen resynthesis 3 to 3.5 fold compared to the fed state. As long as you train infrequently, dont overeat carbohydrates and follow a mostly fat/protein diet combined with periods of fasting, you should only get out of ketosis transiently for a couple of hours. Remember that the benefits of training (and why it stimulates muscle hypertrophy) are due to damage/adaptation. There is nothing wrong with getting out of ketosis transiently, either. <br><br>Re: High protein & ketosis, read one of my posts on the subject for more info.Lucas Tafurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688922609280098571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724838399830873886.post-48481252760152807302011-03-16T12:30:15.431-07:002011-03-16T12:30:15.431-07:00I read the high protein and ketosis post.I agree a...I read the high protein and ketosis post.I agree and always thought to myself that you must be in ketosis on a high protein diet.No incoming carbs and your brain is functioning=ketosis IMO.When I first start low carb diets I am a zombie for two to three days.Then my brain functions better than normal once I am actually in ketosis.<br><br>What do you think of higher protein speeding up the metabolism?I feel amped when I go higher protein and feel its more than just stable BSI found these two studies,I am pretty sure there are more as these two took me a minute to find.<br><br>http://www.drhoffman.com/page.cfm/607<br><br>http://www.wellnessresources.com/studies/high_protein_diets_improve_your_brains_leptin_function/Wolfstrikedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01387635777264758245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724838399830873886.post-25370689510515824082011-03-17T10:19:21.760-07:002011-03-17T10:19:21.760-07:00Yes, high protein produces high thermogenesis and ...Yes, high protein produces high thermogenesis and hence an increase in energy expenditure.Lucas Tafurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688922609280098571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724838399830873886.post-72606437643437580362011-03-21T13:07:07.707-07:002011-03-21T13:07:07.707-07:00how do you explain a high protein diet with high p...how do you explain a high protein diet with high post meal BS levels, even with ample saturated fat? would this inhibit the favorable glucose metabolism one aims for with a ketogenic diet.<br><br>basically, if the aim of the ketogenic diet is to run off fatty acids, what if the body refuses to do so by elevating insulin, storing fat and spiking BS post meal. this is all in the presence of plent of fat for a FA energy conversion but it isnt happening.malpazhttp://malpaz.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724838399830873886.post-70021791546222458072011-03-21T18:26:39.472-07:002011-03-21T18:26:39.472-07:00Malpaz,Im not sure if Im following but high BS can...Malpaz,<br><br>Im not sure if Im following but high BS can occur despite a very low carbohydrate intake via insulin resistance.Lucas Tafurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688922609280098571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724838399830873886.post-49671648504714584572011-08-06T14:25:20.704-07:002011-08-06T14:25:20.704-07:00Hi Lucas!Would you write more about sport and keto...Hi Lucas!<br><br>Would you write more about sport and ketosis?Edo Ergo Sumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17759578531184715073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4724838399830873886.post-10579178784862400902011-08-08T07:11:34.883-07:002011-08-08T07:11:34.883-07:00Hi Edo,Not my area of expertise but I can write so...Hi Edo,<br><br>Not my area of expertise but I can write something on sports and ketosis when I have some time.Lucas Tafurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15688922609280098571noreply@blogger.com
