Will this work better then a CKD for preserving muscle while losing fat? It seems instead of taking the weekend to carb-up to replace the glycogen stores, you are doing it once daily post-workout. Also, you mention to avoid carbs except post workout. What about the carbs from veggies you are getting throughout the day? If you don't have an MRP after a workout, you will still need some simple carbs. Where do you suggest getting them from?
I doubt it will a cause screw up of the diet if you include , say every 3rd day, 1 meal containing 1 cup of brown rice or some oatmeal. Plus like you said with all of the Veggies you should be Fine.
This is not a Keto Diet and the entire point is the Lost fat while Preserving ALL of your muscle in a HEALTHY manner. I honestly think you will preserve more muscle on this diet than on a strict Ckd plan. You can't tell me that your body isn't going notice you are eating Cow Udders and Kangaroo intestines AKA Hot Dogs fried in Lard. Your body will someway somehow suffer from this and your muscles will suffer, eventually.
On this plan, you are encouraged to eat Fat like you said in reply to Dice's comment, but the fats ONLY come from Healthy unsaturated sources. Also you will be Eating Constantly (every 2 hours) so your muscles will Be fully nourished, hydrated and happy throughout the day, thus equating to Muscle preservence.
As far as the Post-workout drink, Any form of Simple carbs should be fine, but still try to make it somewhat healthy. Instead of Gummy-Bears shoot for a Tall glass of Orange Juice w/ a tablespoon of Honey. Don't forget your whey. Remember to only use WHEY post workout.
If you have the funds and can afford micellular casien then take that before bed.
And shoot for a protein-blend throughout the day. If not then Whey will do.
Eat your Veggies as much as Possible. Keep your Protein intake to as close as 2grams per lb of bodyweight. And your intake of Healthy Fats upthere. If you are feeling flat, eat a carb meal (Oatmeal, Wild/Brown Rice, (no wheat bread) , etc.) Every 2, but shoot for 3 days. Don't forget to Drink your H20 religiously.
Those are the basic guidelines.
Peace.
