Used to do the same with keto and fasting and definitely felt the energy was ‘missing’ in the gym. Tried getting in the gym earlier in the day to lessen the effect. I think I ended up trying to coordinate so I would have eaten on the workout day. Either way though, I found I would be either exhausted at the gym itself or later in the day (if I was fasting for the rest of the day). I reckon it was probably to with not taking in sufficient nutrients (setting myself up here) and should have taken some sort of supplement.

      BlainSA Coffee and creatine lads. Or speed.

      Too much coffee and I get a bit shaky when I’m lifting, creatine drinks make the keto / fasting almost impossible as they spike your insulin for days, and speed… the less said the better…

          whatever should have taken some sort of supplement.

          The supplements are a bit of a mind field though, they can fuck up the other things you are trying for like keto or fasting. At the minute I’ve just taken it on the chin and accepted I won’t be doing any PBs in the near future.

            bosstrabs Not tricky at all.

            Should have been more specific, with this bit: or anything else that will have been cooked in veg oil of any sort. Trickier than it sounds.

            It’s in all sorts of stuff you would buy of the shelf at Waitrose or Booths. The new palm oil for us Grauniad readers!

              Amps Haven’t done Keto, but creatine works fine for me with fasting. Speed is the obvious choice out of the three.

                    Smallman1 Bad carbs, like beer and chips, good carbs like proper vegetables/fruit are fine, also some spirits are ok too believe
