This was from the Hypertrophy Training specific method article. I'm wondering if this is what I should do, just 1 set per body part, and of course, progressivley heavier every other day. I notice as soon as I start doing 2 sets per body part, the workout becomes VERY difficult (because I'm doing the whole body in only 1 workout). I imagine just 1 set per body part will be more conducive to long term commitment.

Also, I am on a ketogenic diet. Low carb is the only feasible way someone with my genes can stay lean. So it's a bit harder for me to train with weights now. I could easily do a 1 set per body part workout with a diet like this, but once I go up to 2 sets per body part, I can't make it through the workout. This diet keeps me lean, but unfortuantley, it tends to shunt the whole glycogenolysis thing.
