[QUOTE="Jay, post: 20383, member: 3181"] "You said the Keto diet got your lipids up; were you getting a lot of saturated fat?" Yep, although for a bodybuilding show I would choose healthy fats such as coconut oil, avocado, fish, nuts. But I did a more Bro keto with 50/45/5 ratio. My last show was about 4 years ago and went back to the higher carbs/protein and low fat...then went and got blood work done and found my ha1c at 5.9 and glucose 105 (i think) regardless they were elevated, so decided to go back to keto since it worked so well for my shows. However, I changed the ratio to 70/25/5 and added more unhealthy fats that come from steak, cream, butter. So it is possible that my Bro Keto method might have been more healthy on lipids...dunno never tested blood. The reality is keto whether it is Bro or other keto was short term for me to drop body fat, I can't sustain a high fat diet with no carbs for the rest of my life. Just too limiting. My hats off to people who can. A good friend of mine does the Bro Keto and has been doing it for like 15 years. He keeps his body fat at 6% all year. This makes it easy for him to compete b/c he has a very small pre-contest diet (basically drops his cheat meals for 10 weeks and is at 3%), but again, he has a specific goal in mind, so easier to maintain that lifestyle of eating...I think [/QUOTE]
