I understand the weekday phase on the keto diet but how do you load on the weekends and stay clean? Is there a certian amount of carbos to protein to fat ratio when you reload?

thanks

Type of Carbohydrates ...The type of carbohydrate consumed during a carb-up can affect the rate at which glycogen is resynthesized. During the first 24 hours, when enzyme activity is at it's highest, it appears that the consumption of high glycemic index (GI) foods such as simple sugars promote higher levels of glycogen resynthesis compared to lower GI foods like starches (5,7,8). Glycogen resynthesis during the second 24 hours has not been studied as extensively. It appears that the consumption of lower GI carbs (starches, vegetables) promotes higher overall levels of glycogen resynthesis while avoiding fat gain by keeping insulin levels more stable (9). Most individuals find that their regain of bodyfat, as well as retention of water under the skin, is considerably less if they switch to lower GI carbohydrates during the second 24 hours of carbohydrate loading...

Thanks Bro. Quote:    Reply » keto weekends? How about a sample 24 - 36 hour carb-up (weekend) diet (averg. 6 to 7 meals per day). Thanks Page 2 of 2 1 2   Bodybuilding » Bodybuilding discussion forums » Discussions about other sports
