[QUOTE="Vman, post: 156616, member: 39209"] This is exactly what I was doing. I didn't eat until noon, stopped eating after dinner around 7pm. Did strength training 3xweek, 30 minutes fasted cardio the off 3 days, 1 day of full rest. Had 1 huge nasty carb meal on Sunday. Insomnia hit me hard after a month of TRT. Never had problems before. Been working with a nutritionist that specializes in treating insomnia. Almost all her clients are on a whole food keto or very low carb diet with slightly higher protein than on keto. If you are strength training on keto there is a very good chance you are starving your body, especially if you do IF as well. When you starve your body it prioritizes food over sleep. The vast majority of people with anorexia have insomnia. Keto + IF + strength training for a long time can put you in the same boat. It definitely did for me. My nutritionist has me eating more calories and some more carbs (I eat 100g net carbs a day now), especially before strength training. My sleep is much better, but my nutritionist says it typically takes 3-6 months of eating healthy and eating enough before my sleep will return to normal. Don't know if this will work for you, but your situation definitely sounds pretty similar to mine. [/QUOTE]
