Exercise in Keto

40-50 net carbs ... you need to rest ur ketones and find out how many carbs u can eat and still be in ketosis with the ketones tester.

Be careful exercising on keto. It take special tweaking compared to someone who doesn't do cardio and weights, etc. You must do your research on exercise and keto. Unless low carb, just do what feels right and monitor carb intake. You won't be in ketosis on low carb but prob still loose fat. 

LMKOhio, I started up exercise 3-4 times a week for 35 minutes. I walk as fast I can 2.7 miles. 

I didn't feel good and my body was like lead. Did not loose much and I was tired and like feeling out of breath. I should not feel like that, I had been active all my live.

So, I do Keto 20 grams of carbs and the whole nine yards of fat and protein. But I had to change because I didn't feel good at all, didn't want to move and my weight loss stopped. How can that be right? I must be cheating. No, here is what I had to do, luckily my Doc/ Nurse told me what I had to do. 

I still do Keto at 20 grams of Carbs, but I don't add like extra fat to my coffee or do Keto bombs. All I did was added more protein to my diet and the fat that comes with it naturally or it was cooked in fat.

2 to 3 weeks and things looked a lot better and I feel great again. Because the higher protein is converted naturally in your body to glucose for the workout. The best part of this process is, that your body doesn't make excessive glucose from protein ingested! Only what it needs to make you feel good and to get you through your workout. So I have 35-40 protein. 

But I do that also because I have no thyroid due to thyroid cancer (made me hyper thyroid, which was another nightmare) and have to take meds for live. But that T4 that I take also needs glucose to convert to T3, those two hormones need to be right, to also loose weight. T3 basically rides on a carb through your blood stream, to be able to its job.

So upping the protein was a huge difference for me and could be for others that may have the same problem.

I was not pre Diabetic or Diabetic, so I don't know how that works for that group. My demon is was overactive hyper thyroid and now the opposite. Both Diabetic and Thyroid problems have to be solved in different ways.

But I was told that if I add more protein for exercise and my Thyroid would not make my body convert more glucose. Naturally we don't oversplurch sugar. It's us our brains that love the taste of sugar.  If we have too much of it, it's converted into fad, makes our body more acidic and makes our pancreas work overtime until it doesn't work anymore.

So as I was told, eat more protein when exercising. 

Btw... I started to loose again when I stopped the EXTRA fat and added a little more protein. So good luck to you and never stop reading about carbs, fat, protein and exercise. There is a lot of good books and Blogs out there.
