Default I need burst energy for weight lifting on ketosis?

6 weeks ago I started a lifting routine at the gym.
I started to notice appearance results/muscle definition, and even increased how much I could lift.

I'm 30-40 lbs overweight and I lost maybe 1-2 lbs during those 6 weeks of cardio/lifting. I know some of it might be muscle gain. But I really felt like I need to focus more on fat burning until I'm considered fit. So a week ago I decided to go into Ketosis.

Well, I noticed that my cardio exercises like treadmill has actually improved, (I can literally go forever now.. lol) but my lifting on weights decreased drastically. I lift 20-50 lbs less than what I did a week ago...

I read an article that says eating 20-25g of carbs 30 mins before a workout will give me the burst energy I need, and still keep me in Ketosis - I am wondering has anyone lifted on a Ketogenic diet? What did you eat to keep your strength up?

Thanks in advance!
