Is all that natural gains? Y

You guys really have to stop talking about Peanut Butter!!! All this talk is making me want to go down to the store and buy a big jar and some whole wheat bread and just sit down and finish it off. Luckily they sell small jars where I am, so if I do go out and buy some there is less to finish...

Mr. X, In your CKD manual you use a 6 day ketosis, 1 day carb-up schedule. Is there a reason that you did not suggest, as so many other people do, a 5 day ketosis with a 36 or 48 hour carb up? Do you see a big downside to doing a 36 hour carb up starting friday night after a full body workout...

No real means of getting exact measurment at the moment. So all I am left to do is estimate. I will say 14 % to be fair. Maybe you could give me your opimion based on that number? Hopefully someone will be sending me some calipers soon so I can keep track, but until then it's all I have to go on.

Thanks for the explanation. So should I diet down to 9-10% bf before I start bulking or should I just start now at where I am, around 12-15 % bf??? The past 2 weeks I have been doing limited carbs (not quite in ketosis), with a carb up on Sunday. Having taken so much time off I have...

Psychological issue? I am curious as to what you mean by mine is a psychological issue? Could you please explian?

If you read my last 2 post you will know that I have been on a forced break from lifting for the past 3 months. I just got back into the gym and I feel like my strength just plummeted while I was off. I have 2 goals in mind before I start trying to bulk seriously. 1. I want to gain back the...

So I am trying to lean out just a bit and regain some strength lost during a recent haiatus. I am about 185 and I would estimate to be about 12-15 % bf. It's hard for me to get an accurate measurement because of the lack of resources in the 3rd world country I am currently working in, but I can...

Almost 4 moths ago I moved to a place where I would not be able to work out until January. Rather than stress out about it I opted to take about 3 months off. During this time it was also hard to eat very clean. Part of me experiencing the culture I was living in meant eating much of what they...

Nope, never lived in the South Pacific, but I grew up in Florida. It can't get much hotter and humid than that. It's about 82 degrees yearround in samoa, so it should not be a bad adjustment. As for the diving, I am already an advanced diver so that will be a great time. I am only hoping that...

I am 6'2" 180 @ about 12%bf. I don't know if I should start to bulk or just continue on the maintenance path. I want to get bigger, but I don't know if now is the time to start bulking again. I am moving to Samoa soon and I am concerned about the conditions there as far as training is...

What should my training schedule look like while doing a ckd? So far it's been like this... Mon - arms/back Tues - Legs/Abs Wed - Chest / Tri's Thr - off/cardio Fri - Depletition Workout/cardio Sat - Off/Carb up Sun - Off/Carb up I was wondering if I should be working out on...

I went to lunch and ate chicken with some boiled cabbage and collard greens.Should this have any effect on achieving/maintaining ketosis? Also, will doing some sprints to help deplete some glycogen stores help me reach ketosis faster?

Question for anyone who has actually done a CKD. Does there to appear to be any long term residual negative effects? Such as long term insulin sensitivity or fat gain? I have read that as long as you increase your carb intake gradually, that there should be no realk trouble. Thanks guys.
