I'm today on my 9th reorientation day, and nothing seemed to have changed…measurement are all the same, bodyfat % and water % the same as well.I have between 5-6 meals a day, for a total of protein intake between 150-180 gr and less than 15gr of carbs a day. Don't really track my fat intake though, but I don't think it'd be more than what I should eat.I'm 5'10" and 181 pounds as of now.Would you guys have any input?Thank you for taking the timeBTW I'm a newbie on this diet 😉
It varies from person to person. Body comp will not happen in a week, weight loss during the prep phase may be a lot but mostly is water, body fat loss takes time. How long? Depends on you
You really do need to monitor your fat because if you have more than a 1:1 ratio with your protein then you will have issues losing weight.RB

+1 You should see how much fat you are eating. Some people can eat a massive amount of calories on this diet and still lose weight, whilext ti others have to be cautious. Have your Carb Nite tomorrow, but when you go back to ULC, cut your fat grams intake to half of your protein grams for the day and go from there. In your case that would be about 80 g of fat. This is low, but it will give you an idea of how much you need to eat and still lose fat. Most likely you will increase.This is the exact method Kiefer uses. For the prep phase he just requires carb intake to be low, then after the first carb nite he cuts them down to .5:1 and increases until the sweet spot is found.
Ok thank you guys!!I'll take a look later today, after work, what how much fat I eat a day.I'm pretty sure though it's no where close to the amount of protein...
From what I understood it is not .5:1 fat:protein in g, but in a caloric value.Fat: 1 gram = 9 calories Protein: 1 gram = 4 calories Carbohydrates: 1 gram = 4 caloriesPlease correct me if I am wrong.RB
So, I just counted my fat intake and overall I'm getting 140gr of fat per day…I was eating a whole avocado in my salad, but can do without it, so that'd be a good chunk off as well as a serving of almonds...after that not sure what I could cut without losing my protein intake in the meantime.Suggestions guys?

Those would be good places to start. Just get rid of those and see what happens.
Well, forgot to count my eggs, so yes I'm between 170 and 200 a day. Depends on how many I eat a day.4 eggs breakfastProtein shake with 12oz almond milk for snack and 2 string cheese1 can tuna wraps with mayo for lunch and 2 string cheesePWO protein shake with same almond milk Salad with 1 can of tuna and vinaigrette for dinnerProtein shake bedtime and 2 string cheeseFor me it's the best and easiest to do toget all my protein for the day
I'm not usually one to be this anal about things, but you really should get more of your protein from meat. Ketogenic diets tend to work best with meat that have some fat on them. Get some steaks and ground meat.
your 5`10 180. you don't need to do carb night.. if you've been working out you should do CBL. And don't eat breakfast… get coffee with MCT. only eat 3 meals a day, lunch, dinner, late dinner. time it so between late dinner and your next day lunch is somewhere in the 10-14 hour range. don't eat snacks or shakes in between, just a PWO and everything else whole food. If you want to speed the process up workout at least 4 days a week with HIIT for ~20min directly after each workout session. Thats just my advice, i'm not an expert but i do frequently read forums/ have read the books. If you haven't read CBL yet you should.
I'm ultimate goal is to really cut the fat and get down under 10% of bodyfat, that's why li leaned toward CNS.I workout 5-6 times a week and do insanity or the Asylum.Not sure CBL would be suited for it, since I don't lift weight at all you know...But I actually read a little bit about it through another forum, when I was debating between the 2. I don't remember which forum though ;D lolAnd yes, I also thought about eating more meat like chicken and beef.What's the max amount of protein you can eat per meal?
You can have all your protein in one meal theoretically. It doesn't matter if it's coming from whole foods. Protein powder are a bit different though, but except for PWO, you really should abstain from those anyways.
