I agree, coffee helps lots!!!

I find that whatever I do when working out in the a.m. is slightly less in intensity than it would have been if I had done it in the afternoon. I go on an empty stomach both in the a.m. and in the p.m.

I use EAS's locarb bars and shakes after a workout (1 hour after) and still stay in ketosis, but I think this may because of the intensity of the Body For Life workouts. The locarb bars are a YMMV thing and how many carbs your body can handle before throwing you out of ketosis.

Try 2 cups of water followed by a cup of strong coffee and you should feel the difference.
