This is just a recap and synopsis:
There are alot of opinions that specifiy not doing cardio when attempting ketosis. And, yes, there are those that say one can eat "within reason" what they wish as long carbs are low. However, I couldnt get myself to believe that I could eat over in calories (even in a low-carb attempting ketosis), and lose the "last little bit" of fat I wanted off.
I couldnt shake the laws of energy balance out of my mind. Therefore, I ate in deficits according to what I was doing each day and did vary and zig-zag my calories. I kept primarily -500c deficits along WITH sub 50g carbs, and used cardio to manipulate my calorie intake:
1. So I could eat more and still maintain a deficit (staved off hunger and other problems), 2. My body acted VERY FAVORABLY TO IT, and 3. It kept me energized.
Im NOT suggesting this. But to give you an example, I did 45 cardio sessions in May 07. All were progressive in nature (Intensity and duration). There are only 31 days in May. It didnt hurt me one bit.
I would argue (with all the personal material and notes I have), it was a positive addition. Overkill----Absolutely. Did it hurt me? NO. Would I do it again, YES. AM I whacked.......YES.
EDIT: Some will call it crazy, some wont believe it (the 45 cardio sessions in one month). In either case I do not care. I just call it buckling down and getting honed in and getting serious about it--and it took me home.
What else matters? At the time I didnt know what it was gonna take. Now I do. I may do less I may not.....in either event---I WILL DO WHAT IT TAKES!
