Hey all,
I've been running a keto diet since late November of 2018. I started lurking these forums a few months back and am finally interested in transitioning out of the ketogenic-diet-lifestyle. Most of you seem to be relatively sane, well rounded individuals and so I've come here to request some dietary advice.
I regularly eat 70-80% fat calories, 100-150g protein daily, and the rest carbs (30-100g) with a refeed day every 7-14 days where I will keep my protein sources lean and load up on the sweet potats! Mmmh, love me some charred sweet potats. I initially ran the first 6 months of keto as a strict 50g-carb-max, before adding in the occasional refeed day. On average, I eat 2200-4000 calories a day.
I'd much prefer to keep my fat macro percentage on the higher side, as I am indeed now sensitive to insulin, and can essentially switch to a fat burning mode relatively on-demand. I'm quite lean, 26 years old, 5'10.5" @ 173, and have been steady building overall muscle, although fat loss has seemingly come to a crawl after this summer. Keto has been instrumental in rounding out many of the nonsensical addictions I found myself thrown into, as food was the final and most primal epitome of addiction in my life -- and at this point I am far from afraid of any type of relapse, I'd just like to keep things optimal and relatively comfortable all-around going forward.
I can't seem to find any sound advise on transitioning out of keto. Is it the right idea to simply begin slowly incorporating more and more frequent carb-based refeeds, so that I may end up with a daily lean dinner featuring sweet potatoes, beans, and/or fruits? Am I just fearing that this is somehow harder than it is?
I much appreciate any sources or information which you may direct me toward. This is all just somewhat scary as keto has been so consoling for me in my endeavors. This has been the longest and most successful keto diet that I have ran, I've kept it very clean and proper this time around, and I was on board testing out these waters long before this diet became a popular fad!
Thank you in advance my brothers and sisters!
