The Ketosis

I wanted to post a brief update regarding the Ketogenics, also my work with digital art.

Keto - I am currently down to 182 from 196 after just three weeks of dieting on the keto, and interestingly enough I actually feel pretty good, like the lethargy isnt NEARLY as bad as it was initially.  It was a hard start, and definitely tested my patience and understanding when it comes to a new form of diet.
However, so far, this is NOT something I would ever recommend to anyone, under no circumstances would I ever say to a client try Ketogenics.  This is something that not only pushes the body, it actually pushes the mind.  The only good I beleive this diet actually is worth is a pre contest phase.  It does lean you out, and sucks the water right out of you, which is nice, but hard.
However, the biggest downside is a natural decrease in strength.  Despite me moving up to a 1.5g per pound of protein, I am losing a little bit of vascularity, but thats just something thats going to happen irregardless with not having glycogen in the body to keep composition up.
Well see how much longer I keep the Keto going before I decide to give in and do the cyclical version of ketogenics.

For anyone interested, this is a video of my latest level.
