Hello all. I have made an introductory post that not many people have read in the general forums. I am going to go straight to the point in my post.
I have been off cycle for about 22 weeks now, and I am getting ready to plan my next cycle so that I can maximize my gains. I currently have about 5 weeks of school left, and then I am getting CSEP-CPT certified, so that I can find a career in personal training.
I have recently finished two months of ketogenic diet, and this was basically the meal plan that I was following throughout. I have not been following a diet for the past 2 weeks, and I've noticed detraining and loss of muscle mass because I've only went to the gym about 5 times in the past 3 weeks. During the ketogenic diet, I was participating in resistance training about 5 to 6 times a week, and doing the stairmaster at a moderate intensity for 45 mins every other day. I lost about 5 lbs in this two month period, however you have to remember that I was cutting weight naturally so it was expected that I would have some muscle loss and loss in strength gains.
This was the ketogenic diet that I followed for 2 months.
