[tan27]

I understand the hole CKD diet, but what I need to know on the carb-up days how much and what types of carbs do I need to eat and how long do I do a carb-up???

Mr.X's article is outstanding:

It should be able to guide you through the entire thing.

dr dipasquale is the biggest expert-he says any carbs are ok-just don't go nuts on calories

And try to make it low in fat

Typically, a carb-up lasts for 2 days. During your carb-up you should focus on eating foods that are high on the glycemic scale (brown rice, baked potatoes, carrots, for example) This is suppose to force a blast of carbs directly into your muscle cells, which will create an insulin spike. Mid-way through your second day, you should be switching back to your low-carb diet.

Hope this helps you a little....Good luck!!
