If I wanted to lose weight that’s what I would do fwiw
You can read stuff by John Kiefer for more detail, he has articles on EFS plus an ebook [/quote]
I’m actually erring more toward a Cyclic Ketogenic Diet.

Oh. Carb cycling lol. How much weight are you trying to lose? Jw. I’ve heard a lot of people have great success with maintaining or gaining strength while carb backloading, as well as becoming extremely lean, I have no personal experience with trying to lose weight. [/quote]
CKD isn’t carb cycling, it’s going as long as you possibly can with little or no carbs (to induce ketosis), and have a cheat meal/day AT MOST once a week. Plenty of BBers use this as a pre-contest cut, especially those training with Dave Palumbo. I’ve heard like 2-3lb a week loss (After carb up meal; he doesn’t do a whole day).
Also, my goal is as lean as possible without going below a 38 inch waist (my belt wouldn’t fit), and or without becoming a lightweight (below 232).

Hmm never should I truly trust Wikipedia. Do you have difficulty avoiding carbs?
Well good luck man. I’m on my way up to 308.[/quote]
Well, there are so many tasty foods, yes.
Now with Palumbo’s diet, you get a max of 40g/day in INDIRECT (peanut butter etc) carbs a day, preferably post workout, as ketosis is dependent on liver glycogen, not muscle glycogen; the liver holds 100-120g (400-480kcal) of carbs.
If that leaves you wondering, yes, you use most of that up in a nights sleep. I say most because if you hit empty, your brain can’t use fatty acids for energy, and would, therefore, die, so a certain amount is conserved (probably like 40% I’d figure). After a while you produce ketones; your brain can use ketones.
Also, yes, peanut butter is part of the diet.
You also lose ketone bodies in sweat, urine, farts, shit, breath, tears, and everything else that comes out of your body. They gave some random estimate of 100-150kcal lost per day this way.
