Hi all! I have been on induction for about 2 months now (i keep cheating/messing up etc)...
Anyway, i lost about 20 lbs and i feel great. I still have about 20 lbs of fat to lose and i think ive hit the dreadded plateau...
well i have no problem waiting it out, but i do have one major problem...weight lifting!!!
no dont get me wrong, im no body builder, but after doing this extended induction i think ive actually gotten weaker. I am lifting significantly less than i used to about 2 years ago when i went to the gym...is the loss of muscle from atkins, or just from the low carb intake.
I hav no problems with my cardio, but i cant lift anything!!!
I read the forums on cyclic ketogenesis and i dont know if it is for me. I mean i will be going to the gym 5 days a week doing heavy lifting for about an hour then running a mile or two, but i am by no means a "bodybuilder"
is cyclic ketgogenesis for me? or should i try something else, such as eating some good carbs an hour before my workouts (quaker oats old fashioned no sugar).
Please leave some input, i am getting really frustrated bench pressing 120 lbs down from 160-180. and i cant even finish my second set completely
let me know, thanks!
