    still in the prep phase… 5th day in and I have dropped 10 lbs!1. water… does it mater how much I drink? 2. fat… how much is too much during the day before carb backloading??? 3. when I play hoops on my off day or two… can I consume any carbs for a little energy or should I try to play fasted? I felt lightheaded and drained yesterday. My body might power thru it eventually??? 4. alcohol? where does this fit in

    This stuff is all on the forums, if you run a search.Anyhow...1.  Drink frequently, ensure you are getting at least 64oz. a day.  Once you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated.2.  Aim for a 1:1 ratio of fat:protein.3.  Play fasted, except for 1 tbsp of coconut oil (for energy) and coffee.  You will adjust to a ketogenic diet, given time.4.  Hopefully never, but if you must, limit it to special occassions / backloads, and only a glass or two.  Preferably drinks like wine, not beer or heavier beverages.  It isn't just the carb content, but the role alcohol plays in disrupting hormones (specifically testosterone, estrogen and cortisol).  It also can throw your sleep schedule, blunting GH production.  Furthermore, it blunts protein synthesis significantly.Cory
