Also, the keto sticks to test for ketosis and the diarrhea is horrible! After lowering my weight below 200 on high intensity rides I began getting dizzy and lightheaded. Definitely stopped with the keto, and yes I've gained about 5 pounds back but im much happier. Stick with the carbs - calories in/calories out its that simple.
