How are you balancing both? I find to maximize my workouts I can only indulge in the devils lettuce on off days. When I do indulge on ondays I find it to be difficult to max out as much as I could. (Duh, I know.)
But I would like to know how others who medicate balance the two polar opposites of pot and weight lifting.

on a side note im on my second day of taking oxy elite and i must say its really good at curbing my appetite. no more running to the fridge every 2 hours for a snack. it really hopes to hold you over until your next meal.. Also ive been taking a teaspoon of creatine about an hour before my workouts and was wondering if this would conflict with the oxy elite pro.. is it ok to take them both? also does 10 minutes of cardio directly after lifting effect muscle gains/loss? thanks
no ayoOriginally Posted by Mr Marcus
I need motivation...haven't lifted in 4 years....used to be 175 solid...now I'm 175 w/ a gut
Is your primary goal to increase muscle-mass, to decrease body-fat, or to simply maintain your current body composition and health?Originally Posted by Carlos Tevez
Is it normal to not lose fat during keto? I've done it twice in the past and failed both times in losing weight. I'm sure I was in a deficit while doing it and 1 of the times I did a ton of cardio (way too much) and was unable to lose much. The carb ups during keto were brutal. Not only is it tough to stomach those carbs after going 5-6 days straight carb-free (gas, bloating, you get full really quick) but the first 1-2 days after carb-ups were hell because the carbs made me extra sluggish and tired.
I dont know the reason but keto does not work for me. I'm better off getting atleast 50g of carbs a day then going completely carb free for 6 days of the week.
Another problem I think you have with keto is what do you do after you plateau? For example, if you start off dieting with low/moderate carbs, you can taper your carb intake as you progress and then go low/no carbs at the tail end of your fat loss phase. However, if you plateau on 0 carbs then you're pretty much forced to include carbs once again which raises the question if keto diets are more advantageous with regards to fat loss than low/moderate carb diets.
Sorry bro, I'm not a nutrition expert but what you said is completely wrong.Originally Posted by awash242

If your answer was to decrease body-fat, then a glycogen refeed would only be counterproductive to your goals.
If your answer was simply to maintain your body composition and health, then either choice is perfectly acceptable; i would personally opt for no refeeds as that is simpler and easier.
If your answer was to increase muscle-mass though, then glycogen refeeds would benefit you greatly.
are you sure you were even in ketosis?Originally Posted by Carlos Tevez

yeah healthwise gnc's protein does nothing special. get isopure, same effects cheaper price.Originally Posted by SoleWoman
i meant from a health perspective in terms of toning....or do they do the same thing?Originally Posted by JOE CAMEL SMOOTH
Solewoman- gnc wheybolic is delicious but overpriced. Buy some isopure or some other whey protein isolate. Same thing.

Just don't drink on Keto without carbing up first. That was a life lesson well learned.

You'll be lucky to lose 2 lbs in 2 weeks.
A deficit if 3500 calories an entire week = loss of 1 lb (basically 1500caloric consumption a day for the entire week)
Do the math and see that its impossible to lose 10 lbs in that short amount of time....Unless you do the Christian Bale Machinist diet = Coffee and Cigarettes
