Weak as **** 5 days into diet

Since Tuesday ive eaten nothing but meat, eggs, and above ground veggies (spinach, brocc, asparagus). No sugar, no carbs other than the measly amount in the jerky i was snacking on.

Lifted for first time this morning. Weak AF. Felt like a DYEL.

315 on bench felt like 445. Didnt go any higher. Did some high rep stuff at 225/185 then moved on to incline bish weight.

Feels bad man.

Are you eating enough carbs or are you doing a keto diet?

Its basically Keto. Doctor prescribed diet. He didn't use that word, but that is essentially what it is.

Everything came back normal in bloodwork, except triglycerides were really high. Doctor wants me to do this to get my body to start burning fat for fuel instead of carbs and sugars in bloodstream.

Just stick with it. Obviously without your normal carbs there’s an adjustment

There is nothing wrong with carbs while on a diet. I always found the most success with a IIFYM approach. Sugar isn't the enemy, overconsumption is.

I’ve actually stopped giving too much crap about diet for a little bit as a break (been doing it over 2 years). Just lift and eat to hunger. If I go over or under - so whatt??

Op, from what I’ve read on keto, it takes a few days (week to 10 days) to adjust. I recall one day eating very low carbs (unintentionally) and was kind fogged by night. Ate some carbs (granola bar) and was feeling normal in about 20 minutes.

Except you know. When his doctor specifically told him to eat this way to switch to burning fat and if he started eating carbs it would stop that from happening. Then he wouldn’t get his triglyceride whatever to fix itself.

Even when you're in ketosis it'll take a little bit to be fully fat adapted and see your strength coming back. Remember to get your electrolytes.

You get used to it after a week or two. My lifts have all gone up after switching to a similar diet in January but there was definitely an adjustment period

you're doing it wrong

im on week 9 of prep and everyday is PR's lifting and cardio

if you're getting weaker your recovery is shot and your body is burning muscle for energy which means its burning even less fat for energy, so your dramatic and drastic approach is not very beneficial.
