I got on Keto in 2018 and had amazing results. I even felt better than I had in years. In 2019 my Doctor read my panel and told me my cholesterol was extremely high and I was at risk for heart disease so I gave it up. Personally I was doing dirty keto and that was probably a contributing factor.
I recently learned that Cholesterol does not tell the whole story. So I found a new doctor and he’s good with me going on Keto but he wants to run bloods every 90 days. Unfortunately, I forgot many of the things that made me successful and I’ve been overthinking. So I’m here on Day 4 feeling like a total newbie again.
So for my height and weight. To hit the 70/25/5 marks, I actually have up to 32g net carbs daily to take in per CarbManager. However, I remember the rule of thumb being 20g or less. Which is true and which should I stick to while starting this journey again?
I exercise a lot and my Apple Watch calculates my calories burned in the day. Should I disregard these calories burned? I feel like I need a little extra cals to fuel my workouts. On day, one of keto I felt lethargic so I could not go into the gym. However, the last two days I’ve gone in, but I can definitely tell that the glycogen running low in my muscles.
I also wish to do this journey as cleanly as possible, any specific foods, snacks, oils I should incorporate into my diet?
