Hey guys, I was just curious on how this template for a Keto Diet looks. I am a total noob, and I’m currently just trying to start out eating as clean as possible.

For reference: I’m currently attempting to ReComp at around 1,800 calories, with a protein goal at 120 grams — at 5 foot 7 inches and 155lbs. My estimated BF was 17%. Many of my diet choices here may reflect my previous diet — which was a high Fiber, mostly Plant-Based diet. ( I’m AuDHD and my brain really benefits from higher fiber ).

I will list the ingredients from highest -> lowest in protein.

Meal 1: Chia Pudding

( 30g Whey Isolate ; 30g Hemp Hearts ; 30g Walnuts ; 30g Chia Seeds ; 1/2 Serv. 95% Dark Chocolate ; 1/2 Cup Almond of Pistachio Milk )

Note : I’d consider subbing Eggs (probably 1 Yolk + Egg Whites) in instead for Whey Isolate to cut back a lil bit on consuming an ultraprocessed food.
( 900 Cal ; 45g Protein ; 7g Net Carbs )

Pre-Workout : Keto Coffee ( no Creatine just yet ).

( 30g Whey Isolate ; 15g Collagen ; 10g MCT Oil )
( 190 Cal ; 20g Protein ; 0g Net Carbs )

Meal 2 : Chicken or Salmon W/ Risotto

( 8oz. Chicken Breast or Salmon Filet ; 1 Avocado ; 85g Broccoli Florets ; 200g Cauliflower Rice ; 100g Portabella Mushroom ; Kimchi (TBD) ; 1-2 Tbsp Olive Oil )

Note : I may add Parmesan or Pecorino Romano to the Cauliflower Rice if my daily Saturated Fat isn’t too high.
( 700 - 1000 Cal ; 50gP ; 10g Net Carbs )

Now, I want to clarify that I am — I hope — giving fair estimates instead of exact quantities. Right now I really only care about eating pretty much the same template of meals and being more exact on the carbs.

Any suggestions? Do these calculations look accurate? Am I missing anything in regard to nutrition, or nutrient timing? I wonder if my fat may be a bit too high relative to my protein.

Hey guys, so this is my first post here and I was just wondering: what does training while Ketogenic look like? Are there any idiosyncrasies?

I want to clarify that I’m literally just — I mean like day 1 — starting on a Keto Diet. I’m not entirely sure if I will fully commit to it, but I want to at least try it to see if it attenuates my ADHD. If I can sustain it, my aim is to recomp at close to my maintenance calories.

I already train 3x/week, and I’m used to high intensities, and I was wondering if there is anything training-wise I should look out for?

For example: since performance will probably dip for a little bit, would it be preferable to do a FB variation to maximize super-low volume? Or, will tendon recovery be more of a limiting factor — ergo: a rotating U/L split with 4-5 days of rest between joint actions function better? If training resources are more limited, would Specialization Cycles make more sense to implement even earlier on?

Any changes regarding pre/post-workout? And also, when any of you do increase calories, do you allow your carbs to increase to higher ranges (like bringing net carbs up to 50g when fat-adapted compared to 20g as a noob?)

Hey guys, I’m not from town and I’m just wondering if NorthHampton has any good resources for ketamine therapy, DBT, or Autistic Support?

Hey guys, I hope this is the appropriate forum to ask this question, but is there any research on optimal frequencies of practice for developing practical skills?

Now, I understand that “practical skills” is quite a large, vague umbrella term.

To give this a more concrete example: if I were to try learning drawing — which is a skill involving building a bridge between visuospatial capacity and mechanical proficiency, with a high emphasis on Active Recall — many artists online
will probably recommend deliberately practicing every day to progress the fastest.

I can see this advice as being beneficial in the short-term from the mechanical standpoint, but what would happen if I practiced, let’s say, every other day? Might there be a benefit insofar as that my brain might have a longer period to process and crystallize what I’m attempting to learn into visual memory?

I have heard anecdotes from musicians who take anywhere from a week to months off from their practice, and they actually return back to it better.

Is there anything to explain this? Is there credence to practicing skills, or just trying to learn advanced topics, at lower frequencies of practice? How low can people go, and relevant to what fields?

Hey guys, have any of you made dietary changes that have significantly improved your AuDHD symptoms?

Symptoms in this context can be from either ADHD or Autism. Some people report Ketogenic Diets as helping manage their ADHD for example, while some other folks mention Vegan Diets as helping with some gut biome issues many Autistic folks face.

“Diet” in this case can refer to a few things: macronutritional ratios (high carb vs low carb, Keto vs Vegan), nutritional timing (like time-restricted eating/intermittent fasting), and any kind of basic supplementation (vitamins, minerals, specific enzymes).

Hey guys, I’m wondering on how to find my Chronotype — if that’s really much of a thing, and I’m curious on anyone else’s experiences developing sleep schedules?

I traditionally go to bed between 9-5, or 10-6. I used to do have to do this for work, and otherwise self improvement culture convinced me that those hours = creatively productive.

But nowadays I’m unsure. I don’t feel particularly sharp at those hours. Maybe sleep quality has something to do with it too.

Any advice on self-experimentation; things to look for? Has anyone tried extreme hours? Like 7-3? Or 3-10? It’s seems like my brain may prefer low sensory stimulus that nighttime conditions provide.

Hey guys, I have a quick question.

I’ve been seeing that ADHD traits can often mask Autistic traits from a diagnostic perspective.

But also, experientially, has it been the case for anyone here that their ADHD traits mask or blunt their Autistic ones? Has managing the former helped change how the latter expresses itself for you (for example: regarding verbalism, cognitive processing, retaining special interests, burnout, social or sensorial capacity)?

Hey guys - kind of an oddly specific request, but are there any artists producing music similar in vibe to NIN’s “Ghosts?” Kind of in the vain of their more ambient, soothing, piano-based and often playful songs; La Mer and their “I Can’t Give Everything Away” cover tribute to David Bowie are also good analogs to what I’m talking about.

Hey guys, I’m considering changing my name at some point - and I’m really meditating on a name that I resonate with.

And when I say “resonate,” I really mean it in the sound sense. I don’t particularly care about associations or etymological meanings - although I also don’t want the name to come across as overtly appropriative.

For reference, I’m a cis-white man, but I don’t really strongly identify with my masculinity. I find myself gravitating towards names ending in “a,” or that feel a “softer” in a sense that’s difficult to fully explain.

So far, I mainly have Miles, Jinna, Micah, and Ezra in mind. Any thoughts or other possible suggestions?

Hey guys, I’m hoping to keep this concise.

I’m considering using Cerebrolysin at some point as a means of possibly expediting my progress of learning drawing (I’m 23, and I just recently realized that I want to be an illustrator). I also appear to struggle with something like AuDHD - especially concerning burnout, task initiation and really anything related to planning and self-structure.

I’d like to inquire into whether Cerebrolysin might be helpful for improving my learning (most relevantly, my visuospatial memory), attenuating some of my resistance to following organized plans? It’d also be nice if there are any long-term attention span gains too.

I also have a basic question regarding cycling: when folks here say “5 days on, 2 off” of a 5ml dose - is it 5 days sequentially?
