But Thomas, i used to load up on carbs post workout when i was bulking, typically these carbs werent the cleanest and often it was fast food, but if what you say is true, then why is it that i gained so much fat when i was bulking? I gained about 50 lb of fat easily (among muscle growth) and i went up to 32% bodyfat level :/. Why cant i get away with it? Is it maybe that i was eating too many calories?
Funny story: I run marathons and ultras and train with a group of people who take their gear pretty $eriously. They taught me to carry GU packets (ketchup sized packets of pure glucose) in a fanny pack- especially if there are a lot of hills or heat. Anyhow, Luke's Locker had a famous old runner come give a little talk/QA and he was asked which glucose he used (if at all) and he said that he just buys A LOT OF Easter candy the day after Easter (on sale) and same with Halloween candy....mini Snickers, jelly beans because they don't melt, Pixie Stix, etc. Neighbors give him their leftover/unwanted candy too. Pretty clever even though he didn't do much for the gear shop and selling their expensive glucose. Ha!! Dean Karnazes uses Pasteli (honey+sesame seeds) on super long runs, but he had bananas when I ran with him for a bit in Dallas.
Here's what I do: WALK after meals, and maybe walk faster after carb meals lol. I eat carb meals pre- resistance training (RT) workout and on those days in the evenings (3 × RT a week means 6 carb meals a week on average). Low carb rest of the week and post-workout meal. Another option, because I do "micro workouts" on off-days (just short circuits throughout the day), is to do one of those after carbs, for example just get a pump and blood flow doing a few sets of BW Squats, Light DB rows, and resistance band chest presses.
I arrived at the same strategy. Carbs at lunch would spike my blood glucose, nothing really alarming but I would like to keep it down. So I eat a ketoish lunch and consume my carbs just before an evening bike ride and at the post ride dinner. Result: blood sugars are very stable throughout the day!
I just finished my 2 days fasting and exactly my thoughts! thinking on how to next enjoy my carbs haha. And that explains why I always crave carbs late afternoon til dinner time. But I do 2x exercise, after waking up and after work. Always listen to your body.
Thank you for making this video. I was a little lost at the beginning but then it all made sense. I am on low carb at the moment, so in the morning i go for a brisk 1 hr walk and then have egg with veggies some days and others alternate with millet/oats with fruits and few nuts. In the evening i alternate weights and stretching... i tend to eat fish for dinner after weights... and when stretching... i go for yoghurt and fruits with very few nuts. I am still trying to find something that works for me but i have to be kind and patient with myself giving it some time to see results. I realize no one size glove fits all and men and women are different. I really appreciate your content. Thank you!
I can eat a Big Mack on the treadmill. Best news all day! lol Great video. I love how you bring the high-tech science back down to the bottom line simple explanation. Thanks!
Sort of helps me to know that I am on target if not a bull's eye with sort of keto or restricted carbs...as a trail runner. Not an excuse to eat carbs but to use as a tool...legs are big muscles and swinging arms. I try to buffer the carbs with ample fiber from healthy vegs.
This is interesting. I never agreed with the notion of not exercising after eating. I'd go for runs after Thanksgiving dinner and feel awesome afterwards, while everyone else was in a coma, getting heavier. This also reinforces what Stan Efferding talks about with his walks after eating 👍
What about carbohydrates during surgery recovery? Is it beneficial to consume more carbs or stay keto or low-carb while the body is in such a period of ongoing repair? How would this differ between women and men? Thank you!
I would definitely say do carbohydrates for potential physical therapy. Keto and Intermittent Fasting is known to heal the body over time. I’d recommend Keto and have a certain time in the day where you eat and the other time can be for your body to recover 18:6 Intermittent Fasting helps me a lot. It’s all about what you eat though. Kale, Spinach, Shredded Lettuce Salad with Chicken is great. Before workouts I’d say to have oats or rice/ quinoa and it will help you a lot with energy and recovery and it shouldn’t kick you entirely out of Ketosis if you burn it off which should be really easy. If you stop eating at 4:00 PM you can Break your fast at 10 PM and it would help tremendously. Just speaking from my experiences everyone is different but we are all habitual your body will love you for it.
I had a broken leg not too long ago. Coming from keto/ ultra low carb prior to breaking it, during recovery I started eating a huge sweet potato or two every day with butter and all else constant I maintained my weight and felt quite the same. I'm not sure if low carb would've benefited more in recovery more or not but I didn't notice a difference.
@@Astr0Pr0j3ct Thank you. So that I'm understanding you correctly, are you suggesting more carbohydrates for the initial period (say perhaps 6-8 weeks) post-surgery? Then switching back to keto/IF for continued healing?
@@NMystery Try Intermittent Fasting at least 16 hours. 18-20 is amazing for healing benefits internally. Collagen is amazing for your body as well, organic beef tallow, etc. If you are doing physical therapy I would say take in about 50-100 carbs per day from GOOD sources before or during your session. Squash, Sweet Potato, Quinoa (All 9 Essential Amino Acids are in Quinoa) is perfect, anything that has quality. Avoid all fast food and try making sauerkraut with organic cabbage it’s very simple, it’s amazing for healing as well.
Why do I feel so much more energy after coconut oil than MCT oil? I had been using organic coconut oil from the grocery store in my morning coffee to get me through to lunch. I switched to MCT oil a few weeks ago and my energy levels have slowly plummeted. 1 tablespoon of either in the morning with coffee. Today I switched to 1 tbl spoon of coconut oil and 1/2 tbl spoon of MCT oil and oh boy do I have way more energy. I really don't understand this.
Still I can't believe or in shock you became strong like this. I have been watching your videos for a while but just recently seen your photos when you were young.
I have a similar approach. I'm pretty fat adapted and I will always argue it's the best and most sustainable energy source. Now, i will say, I do eat carbs pre workout because my pumps go through the roof and I always eat about 50 carbs immediately post workout with no fat and no protein to store glucose into my muscles. It works, I grow faster that way. The rest of the time, I don't eat many carbs. Carbs jack up my blood pressure, make me tired, and make my ass jiggle when I eat them at the wrong times. Spiking insulin right after training works and it works well! A lot of "certified personal trainers" don't even get this. They just tell people, it's all calories in calories out (which does matter) and that insulin spikes throughout the day, either don't happen from cabs, or don't make you fat. Both are very incorrect.
I had some popcorn the other day I ate them and workout immediately and strength training and cardio blood sugars came back down quick. I felt very energetic. I also took some chromium alongside it.
Don't you have to account for the time it takes for digestion? I pretty much go low carb all day and have a carb meal 1 to 1.5 hrs before hitting the weights.
What’s the BEST meal to eat after an 16 hour fast for a women? I watched the video that says I whole egg + 2yolks + 2 oz of smoked salmon etc. but bored of that. Any suggestions?
Can glut4 bind to fructose? I believe I’ve been told fructose can only be stored as glycogen in the liver so does that mean it can’t follow the example in this video? (I’m hoping it can bind to it as I’ve just ate a bunch of fruit after a workout 🏋️♀️ 😂)
Yo I’m starting intermittent fasting today. Im doing the 16/8 schedule, and my question is, is it ok to workout after breaking a fast? I work from 6-2:30, so I don’t have time to hit the gym during my fasting hours. My job is pretty physical though since I unload trailer trucks all day. But will I still get the same benefits if I workout in the evening?
Man if you already do labor during work, I’d hit the gym right after work (still fasted) for only 30min-1hr then break fast with protein so you can increase protein synthesis.
Indeed, it will have the same benefit effect as Thomas mentioned in this video. Technically, you can "sip" on carbs while you are fasted and doing your heavy physical "workout" job. Your job is a different kind of workout :)
Make sure you eat enough nutrition and calories during 8 hours feeding. Break your fast as with lean protein, like chicken breast. If your job is very hard labor it's considered exercise as you use muscles to lift. Important is to eat properly. Break a fast with protein, avocado, and fat(oils) to avoid insulin spike. Good luck. You will be amazed with the results. And to be consistent, eat the right food and proper nutrition. Doesn't make sense when people fast and eat junk.
@@Hippy2021 Ineed Mary! Totally AGREE with you. Healthy food (nutrition) and healthy calories need to take into consideration during the feeding window! 😉
Thanks for all the information you give it really help a lot... Just a comment if you can Make an interview with funk robert he specialized in men over 40, workouts, nutricion,... that will be very interesting... thanks again for all the knowledge
My first serious cut ever, I was 20. I did a strict keto diet. Then at the end of my weight session (5x a week) I'd sip 20 grams of dextrose with EAA and take a metformin. Then do 45-60min of moderate intensity cardio.
I’m so confused you have stated In previous videos that almost everytime you workout you are kicked out of keto very rarely you have been able to stay in sooooo Your reasoning was for targeted keto so I know carbs during workout won’t help you stay in ketosis so please explain which is it working iut kicks us out of ketosis or no ? Thank you 🙏 great stuff I’m wanting to use targeted for long distance running after my workout but does this mean I should eat during as opposed to after now ?!
If you’re gonna have carbs, doing it intra workout will increase Glut4 expression which will help ensure those carbs are soaked up by your muscles in the short and long term. Experiment for yourself
Does it make sense to combine carbs with deloading workouts? My thinking is that deloads are probably not when you're going to build the most muscle anyways. When doing the heavy duty workouts I would personally be fating and breaking it with proteins afterwards to insure muscle protein synthesis is maximized. Any thoughts?
Thomas when you are doing a OMAD keto plan and your eating time is around 1-4 in the evening when you start eating does your ketones stop producing. Thanks
Also check out Dr. Jason Fung who is one of the top experts in the various fast kinds of fasting. He is a Nephrologist, a doctor who specializes in kidneys.
You are in the right place! Please please please research everything from Dr Jason Fung, Thomas, Dr Eric Berg. You have to and can turn your diabetes around. I lost my Uncle to type 2 Diabetes. It was a slow and awful death. You can turn this around. Start right now! I will be praying for you my friend.
Buy some dextrose powder and use 25/30 grams during the workout divided over how many bottles of water you generally consume. Take a little sip in between the sets and you will feel great.
You know what back in the day Arnold Schwarzenegger was doing it all the time after exercising... it was mentioned in his book, so he knew that back then already..! 🙌
Arnold is a juicehead lmao. Don't take nutritional advice from a gearhead. Eating carbs after workout will replenish glycogen but why? Are you planning on exercising more? There's no need to replenish glycogen quick after workout. Gluconeogenesis will also do it. In fact, it's better to not eat carbs after because you want the mechanism of gluconeogenesis being used. Programming your body to use fat as often as possible is best.
@@altar1102 I know all about Arnold. I bought his books back when I was a kid and read up all about his knowledge about exercise. Now that I am a adult. I realize how little Arnold really knew and how he relied on synthetic drugs for his results. Vince Gironda had better information about nutrition that Arnold and the other guys must of picked up on. They were on a low carbish diet. Eating and drinking lots of dairy. Arnold in recent years is promoting veganism, he once again does not understand hormones or how to increase testosterone naturally.
Take it from me...if you are running 7-8 miles a day and lifting heavy weights for an hour immediately after...you absolutely need carbs. I did keto for 4 years and once I started elevating my daily milage and energy output, carbs became a necessity. The fats were simply not enough to power me through those intense 2-2.5 hour workouts. I would get injured every few months. Since adding fruit back into my diet? I'm Not even getting close to tired or injured during my workouts, and my performance is exploding.
You have incredibly high activity levels. Most folks on this channel just want to get rid of stubborn fat, not run 8 miles per day. I seriously doubt that's Thomas's main audience.
I am just starting my journey. This year i hit 251lbs and lets just say for my height and lack of activity i felt like im a few more bad months to hitting 300. I just discovered this channel and have watched quite a few trying to get better understanding and plan of attack. Past 3 days ive tried to cut my carbs drastically and im feeling really weak and my head is on fire. I assume its because ive been addicted to carbs for the past 2yrs if not longer just has gotten noticeably alarming with my carb intake and cravings. Any advice for a 33year old guy with really bad knees that makes working out hard but not impossible, i am trying to get more active but i know my diet will have to be very accurate to get any results. Any and all suggestions or advice is appreciated. Thanks.
It depends on whether you want to make the change quickly or not. From the brief info you posted, you have high insulin resistance. The fastest way to break it is with a multiday fast. Lookup Dr. Jason Fung. He puts his type II diabetics on a 14 day water only fast. He will let them take vitamins or supplements...but there is another doctor that puts people on a 40 day water only fast. He finds that people do not need supplements until after about 50 days. So he limits his fasting clinics to 40 days so that he does not have to worry about supplements. My point is, you can do a 14 day fast if you know what to expect and have a lot of willpower. Dr Jason Fung has lots of RUclips information that help you thru this. If you want to gradually reverse your insulin resistance and create a fat adapted body over time, then you can stage it. First...get off ALL processed foods. No premade shakes, no energy drinks, no foods from a box. No processed shit at all. I got rid of my sugar cravings over the course of a few weeks by using simple substitutes that were not the best for me, but they were much better than eating processed sugary things like ice cream. For instance, I substituted plain yogurt with blueberries, sweetened with maple syrup instead of ice cream. You want to get off the processed foods and sugary shit as soon as possible. This battle is won or lost in the store...you buy it, you will eat it---so don't buy it. Just doing this will lose you 15 to 30 pounds. I was 200 and lot 15 pounds from doing this. Next step is stop eating as many times during the day. Your ultimate goal is limit your feeding window to about 4 hours per day. There is lots of info on intermittent fasting on Thomas' channel. He has a lot of great info about it here. Intermittent fasting and 24 hour fasting is a good way to move your body towards fat burning. Once you are limiting your eating window, then you should move to multiday fasting. But Thomas is not a multiday faster, so he has limited info about it. Dr Jason Fung is THE leading authority for multiday fasting. I do not recommend heavy workouts every day, initially. Try doing high intensity interval training once per week. But I would recommend walking every day. Shoot for walking twice daily for 30 minutes each time. You may have to start with less time walking and slowly build it up. But you want to be walking outside, in nature. Avoid walking by busy streets, as you do not want to be breathing in car fumes, if you can avoid it. It is always sad to me seeing people running/biking next to busy streets...ingesting all those toxic fumes directly into their lungs with their immune systems weakened by the the workout. After you lose 50 or so pounds and are closer to your ideal weight, you can start intensive workouts multiple times per week. With the weight loss, your knees should not be hurting you and other body aches will likely be gone as well. But what is your ultimate goal? If you are just looking to live the longest life possible, then you do not want to do heavy workouts multiple times per week. This will build too much bulk. Your goal should be the smallest, healthiest you, if you want to live the longest life. If that is your goal, then do exercises to strengthen your core (largest muscles in your body) and learn what combination of diet and multiday fasting works best for you to get rid of your visceral adipose tissue (VAT aka belly fat around your organs) and keep it off. As with any info online, you should consult your doctor. Everyone is unique. My advice worked for me, but everyone is unique. You have to figure out what will work for you.
lost 30lb with just IF, as i tried walking 15000 steps for 6months, i am more hungrier as i add more exercise and gained weight , so i started exercise after the weight loss, lot less weight on knees,
Hi Thomas, love your videos and use them as motivation for fasting, Ive never done keto and don’t want to. I was wondering if you could give me a rough overview of your diet when your not on keto . Thank you 👍
Hahaha you laughed about having chocolate cake in the middle of a workout but every ultra runner is an ultra runner because of all the mid-run goodies 😋
I agree. But man do I pay for it! Does anyone else pay with harsh cramps in your calves? My gosh! It will make me jump out of bed in the middle of the night!
I miss pizza too, I've been on keto for past 2 months lost 20 lbs....want to go get a small pizza get one slice and add all ingredients from 2 slices and pile them in one slice...😋

Those electric patches that send pulses to your muscles to flex and release, would that also trigger calcium and glut4?
Does seamoss break a fast?
I learned this technique "Carbo Load" from Michael Scott during the 5k Run for Rabies Awareness.
I couldn’t believe him eating all that fettuccine Alfredo didn’t give him energy for days. To this day I try it but with no luck.
He had all the beets in the world from the farm and yet he chose not load potassium. Michael Scarn would have been known better.
Haha legend 😂
You mean the 5k FUN run for rabies. 😁

If you’re gonna have carbs, doing it intra workout will increase Glut4 expression which will help ensure those carbs are soaked up by your muscles in the short and long term.
Experiment for yourself
Does it make sense to combine carbs with deloading workouts?
My thinking is that deloads are probably not when you're going to build the most muscle anyways. When doing the heavy duty workouts I would personally be fating and breaking it with proteins afterwards to insure muscle protein synthesis is maximized.
Any thoughts?
thank you for all your help
Thomas when you are doing a OMAD keto plan and your eating time is around 1-4 in the evening when you start eating does your ketones stop producing. Thanks
Where I live I cannot find a wet steam room,only dry sauna,is it the same?
Amazing stuff. Thank you
Ok I understand now 👍👍
Ok. Thanks!😁
Great info, thanks. Literally eating without working (out) is like a body emergency/darwinism.
Does sea moss break a fast?
I was just told i have diabetics 2 am I in the right place ?
Yes.. Now start researching fasting also..
Also check out Dr. Jason Fung who is one of the top experts in the various fast kinds of fasting. He is a Nephrologist, a doctor who specializes in kidneys.
Keto+fasting
You are in the right place!
Please please please research everything from Dr Jason Fung, Thomas, Dr Eric Berg. You have to and can turn your diabetes around.
I lost my Uncle to type 2 Diabetes. It was a slow and awful death. You can turn this around. Start right now!
I will be praying for you my friend.
Currently trying to intensely exercise right now. Feeling flat on energy. Feel like going home and loading carbs and hitting the trails again.
Buy some dextrose powder and use 25/30 grams during the workout divided over how many bottles of water you generally consume. Take a little sip in between the sets and you will feel great.
@@ultrafloss492 thanks for advice I’ll look into it
You know what back in the day Arnold Schwarzenegger was doing it all the time after exercising... it was mentioned in his book, so he knew that back then already..! 🙌
Arnold is a juicehead lmao. Don't take nutritional advice from a gearhead. Eating carbs after workout will replenish glycogen but why? Are you planning on exercising more? There's no need to replenish glycogen quick after workout. Gluconeogenesis will also do it. In fact, it's better to not eat carbs after because you want the mechanism of gluconeogenesis being used. Programming your body to use fat as often as possible is best.
@@YTStopCensoringFreedomOfspeech u obviously dunno not about him nor his philosophy, well maybe a lil about nutrition...
@@altar1102 I know all about Arnold. I bought his books back when I was a kid and read up all about his knowledge about exercise. Now that I am a adult. I realize how little Arnold really knew and how he relied on synthetic drugs for his results. Vince Gironda had better information about nutrition that Arnold and the other guys must of picked up on. They were on a low carbish diet. Eating and drinking lots of dairy. Arnold in recent years is promoting veganism, he once again does not understand hormones or how to increase testosterone naturally.
Thomas, what do you make of WIO foods?
what are your thoughts on breaking a fast with protein powder shake?
Love the content and education. What is the doctor you referred to in this video at 6:21?
Take it from me...if you are running 7-8 miles a day and lifting heavy weights for an hour immediately after...you absolutely need carbs.
I did keto for 4 years and once I started elevating my daily milage and energy output, carbs became a necessity. The fats were simply not enough to power me through those intense 2-2.5 hour workouts. I would get injured every few months.
Since adding fruit back into my diet? I'm Not even getting close to tired or injured during my workouts, and my performance is exploding.
You have incredibly high activity levels. Most folks on this channel just want to get rid of stubborn fat, not run 8 miles per day. I seriously doubt that's Thomas's main audience.
I find the same things. I’m not doing as
Much as you. However I think you’re right
@@joseromero81 I would agree wholeheartedly with you on that. That was me 4 years ago :)
Lol no you don't.
Exercising that much destroys your body numbnuts....

So how do you personally feel about gummy bears mid work out?
I am just starting my journey. This year i hit 251lbs and lets just say for my height and lack of activity i felt like im a few more bad months to hitting 300. I just discovered this channel and have watched quite a few trying to get better understanding and plan of attack. Past 3 days ive tried to cut my carbs drastically and im feeling really weak and my head is on fire. I assume its because ive been addicted to carbs for the past 2yrs if not longer just has gotten noticeably alarming with my carb intake and cravings. Any advice for a 33year old guy with really bad knees that makes working out hard but not impossible, i am trying to get more active but i know my diet will have to be very accurate to get any results. Any and all suggestions or advice is appreciated. Thanks.

It depends on whether you want to make the change quickly or not.
From the brief info you posted, you have high insulin resistance. The fastest way to break it is with a multiday fast. Lookup Dr. Jason Fung. He puts his type II diabetics on a 14 day water only fast. He will let them take vitamins or supplements...but there is another doctor that puts people on a 40 day water only fast. He finds that people do not need supplements until after about 50 days. So he limits his fasting clinics to 40 days so that he does not have to worry about supplements. My point is, you can do a 14 day fast if you know what to expect and have a lot of willpower. Dr Jason Fung has lots of RUclips information that help you thru this.
If you want to gradually reverse your insulin resistance and create a fat adapted body over time, then you can stage it. First...get off ALL processed foods. No premade shakes, no energy drinks, no foods from a box. No processed shit at all. I got rid of my sugar cravings over the course of a few weeks by using simple substitutes that were not the best for me, but they were much better than eating processed sugary things like ice cream. For instance, I substituted plain yogurt with blueberries, sweetened with maple syrup instead of ice cream.
You want to get off the processed foods and sugary shit as soon as possible. This battle is won or lost in the store...you buy it, you will eat it---so don't buy it. Just doing this will lose you 15 to 30 pounds. I was 200 and lot 15 pounds from doing this.
Next step is stop eating as many times during the day. Your ultimate goal is limit your feeding window to about 4 hours per day. There is lots of info on intermittent fasting on Thomas' channel. He has a lot of great info about it here. Intermittent fasting and 24 hour fasting is a good way to move your body towards fat burning. Once you are limiting your eating window, then you should move to multiday fasting. But Thomas is not a multiday faster, so he has limited info about it. Dr Jason Fung is THE leading authority for multiday fasting.
I do not recommend heavy workouts every day, initially. Try doing high intensity interval training once per week. But I would recommend walking every day. Shoot for walking twice daily for 30 minutes each time. You may have to start with less time walking and slowly build it up. But you want to be walking outside, in nature. Avoid walking by busy streets, as you do not want to be breathing in car fumes, if you can avoid it. It is always sad to me seeing people running/biking next to busy streets...ingesting all those toxic fumes directly into their lungs with their immune systems weakened by the the workout.
After you lose 50 or so pounds and are closer to your ideal weight, you can start intensive workouts multiple times per week. With the weight loss, your knees should not be hurting you and other body aches will likely be gone as well.
But what is your ultimate goal? If you are just looking to live the longest life possible, then you do not want to do heavy workouts multiple times per week. This will build too much bulk. Your goal should be the smallest, healthiest you, if you want to live the longest life. If that is your goal, then do exercises to strengthen your core (largest muscles in your body) and learn what combination of diet and multiday fasting works best for you to get rid of your visceral adipose tissue (VAT aka belly fat around your organs) and keep it off.
As with any info online, you should consult your doctor. Everyone is unique. My advice worked for me, but everyone is unique. You have to figure out what will work for you.
Row machine, incline treadmill, prowler press. Squats are not my friend. Tricky left knee.
lost 30lb with just IF, as i tried walking 15000 steps for 6months, i am more hungrier as i add more exercise and gained weight , so i started exercise after the weight loss, lot less weight on knees,

I needed this
"No babe! The buff youtube guy told me I can eat ice cream during squats!
BLARGH!!!!!
Very interesting, thanks.
Is it also true for anaerobic excercises?
What exactly do you take to get a neck that big
How do you mean by "Kicking us out of a low-carb diet"? It sounds almost like breaking a fast
That's is weird that you referenced Tienamen Square, the site of a massacre.
Hey since it is Ramadan our Muslim friends break there fast with a date and water is that a good way to break a fast
I can not have potatoes anymore. It taste too sweet since I stopped having sugar or sweets.
Double whopper and some fries while I’m mid squat here I come
What about carb before workout?
I think that's the evolutionary idea, to work before eating, and T said the effects last hours.
I like Glut 4 it’s my favourite 🤓
Fascinating thank you😁😁😁😁😁
"Literally flexing your muscles..."
immediately start flexing muscles
Hi Thomas, love your videos and use them as motivation for fasting, Ive never done keto and don’t want to. I was wondering if you could give me a rough overview of your diet when your not on keto . Thank you 👍
Hahaha you laughed about having chocolate cake in the middle of a workout but every ultra runner is an ultra runner because of all the mid-run goodies 😋
Just cut to the chase - what time can I eat pasta
so wait. Is this why planet fitness gives you pizza? (Joking) Really though, this is awesome stuff!
Glute 4 est gluteus maximus.
Get Thrive to ship to Norway please!
Wow! So eat a large pizza, then work out intensely right after and you're good👌
😂😂😂Pretty much what you have been wanting to hear🤭
@@Me-xoxoz 👌🤣
The other way around actually.
I knew this guy could not be that big on pure keto.
I ate a small pizza yesterday. I love keto but i love breaking keto with a worthy carb meal 🤭
An occasional cheat probably won't kill you.💪🏽
Absolutely. We should cycle ketosis anyway.
😂Had pizza too yesterday.Not a little bit ,4 slices🤭.It was my first in 4 months.
I agree. But man do I pay for it! Does anyone else pay with harsh cramps in your calves? My gosh! It will make me jump out of bed in the middle of the night!
I miss pizza too, I've been on keto for past 2 months lost 20 lbs....want to go get a small pizza get one slice and add all ingredients from 2 slices and pile them in one slice...😋
I’m gonna bring a bowl of Mac n cheese to the gym 🤤
