Looks like a good approach. Though I fail to see how the diet is ketogenic with that amount of carbs. You wouldn’t actually be in ketosis. Unless I’m misunderstanding what a ketogenc diet in this context actually means.[/quote]
Yeah there is some discrepancy about that, the number is normally under 30g CHO/day. And theory goes that the carbs taken in around workout wouldn't really count towards the 30g. Some say it would, some say it won't. Strictly speaking I would tend to think the pre/wkout carbs wouldn't have to be counted, and probably some of the post would. Nonetheless, it is called a targeted Ketogenic diet since the rest of the time there are no to very few carbs taken in, so that's what I called it here. Whether or not I'm technically in ketosis doesn't matter to me. Some call the AD keto, most don't. I find it depends on the persons individual metabolism etc, more than a fixed number anyway, so there ya go.
I mean you can take a group of guys on the AD, give them all keto sticks, and some of them will be in ketosis, and some won't. You see, even if all are at the same number, under 30g. So, that's what Schwarz and I were talking about, set numbers just don't work for every person, period.
