Clen while on Keto?

[woodswise]

Is it okay to take Clenbuterol while on a ketogenic diet?

I've never heard of clen making someone hypoglycemic so I'd bet it is. I think Ephedrine would be a smart choice though. It will drive alot of that dietary fat into the blood stream to be burned up. In essence making the keto more efficient, much like it does with DNP.

Normally hyperglycemia is reported with people and albuterol/clen use unless adrenal fatigue has set in from stimulant overuse. Epinephrine/norepinephrine levels depleted.

clenbuterol raised serum glucose to 174% and insulin to 379% of control, using clen or ephed I would use a very low dose on a keto diet.

I agree with POB, ephed you feel a hell of alot better on a keto diet than you do with clen.

personally clen is over rated...and plz be careful of your keto diet

I decided against clen while on keto, because an article I read said it helped increase burning of glycogen and carbs. Since I am not consuming those, it seemed a waste.

I don't have any ephedrine so I am not using anything atm.

BK what do you mean be careful of my keto diet? I am having an excellent experience with it and have never felt better.

I actually prefer DNP while on keto at a low manageable dose.

Well, you can certainly get away with a few more carbs. Dnp is better than clen in every way.
