So THIS was actually why I wanted to do keto rather than just go on a normal cut. I can cut if I need to, that’s not an issue, but I’ve got a suspicion based off of how much of a “carb slump” I would get that my insulin sensitivity is pretty poor. My bigger years surely didn’t help me any there, and even when cutting I always maintained a pretty high/moderate amount of carbs in my diet. An intervention protocol seemed like it might make me just operate better once I DID start using carbs again.
I think there’s almost no shot of this, for purely social reasons. I accept that’s me putting social reasons above fitness, but it’s also just truthful. I can grind out strict for a few months, but eventually the lifestyle I enjoy includes being able to take my wife out to cool restaurants in the city, or go camping over a weekend without trying to figure out what dehydrated foods are keto. The fact that even my “cheat meals” have to be planned so I don’t fall out of keto is a level of discipline that’s frankly just slightly more than I want to give. (I say slightly because I don’t mind it all during the week.)
Brother, I was born for the bulk lol. Seriously, I will never understand guys who say they can’t eat their calories. Even if it’s clean. If you asked me to eat 5,000 calories a day but it could only be ground beef and rice, I’d weep tears of joy at the opportunity lol. On Keto? Man, I CANT keto bulk. I’d do way too much damage hahaha
Gym bros will hop programs every 17 days but stick to the same nutrition advice their high school football coach told them at 15. I never understand how training ya gotta try all sorts of things, but nutritions just a one stop shop
