Anybody here doing Keto who also happens to be a hockey player?
I recently started Keto and I'm kind of regretting it. I've been lifting weights for about 10 years and am noticing muscle deflation from my lack of carbs. Fortunately I'm toning up quick which was my reason for doing Keto but it still kind of hurts to see my muscles looking flat.
My other issue with Keto, which is what I wanted to make this thread about is my hockey performance. Could be a placebo effect, but in recent years I've gotten myself into a little tradition of having a homemade carb snack about 45-60 mins prior to playing hockey and I swear by it giving me an extra gear of energy. That snack is a banana with peanut butter wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla. Sounds weird right? WRONG. It's delicious. Anyway, now that I'm doing keto this snack obviously isn't an option. So I'm struggling to figure out what to eat pre game. I feel sluggish as hell on the ice since I started and am wondering if anybody has any pre hockey food ideas for a ketogenic diet.
Or should I just man up and quit Keto? lol.
