CKD (some questions)

[Manu]

I am considering starting a CKD, i've beeing reading Mr. X articles, still doing "research" and maybe i will give it a try in a couple of weeks.
What could happen doing a CKD and keeping a 5 day split? I don't like so much the training sugested while in CKD, and i fear the mucle loss without post workout carbs.
Anyone that tryed CKD and could give some input?
Now i am with 24% bf and 196 pounds. Is it reasonable i could achieve in 2 month a 14% bf in CKD?
Thank you.

I can't offer you much advice. I did CKD once or twice and didn't like it, planning a diet just ain't for me. I did a normal ketosis diet eatting whatever I want but no carbs and I dropped quite a few pounds of solid fat (but some muscle too).

Just want to wish you good luck though, your stats weren't too much unlike mine a year ago and now I'm 200lbs 11%bf.

It is impressive what you are telling me 200 at 11%...congratulations.
I would apreciate more input...

5 day split is a feasibility, but it gives you more of a chance at catabolizing muscle. Because we cannot use Ketones to lift, our body has to overcompensate by using proteins (think muscle). That is the reason for the 3 day training regiment. Loss of muscle is possible,but Ketones are protein sparing so that should help.
2 months, from 24% to 14% well, that's 8 weeks, I don't know how likely that is, but anything is possible w/ proper guidence.

Possible
I know someone that went from 20% to 8% in 2months.

I dropped almost 30lbs of fat in 3 weeks now, and nooooo, no size lost of muscles
even im gaining now . Weird I feel like a anabolic eating machine.

first 3 days were hard now it all fun and it the easiest diet I never had.
fun to eat steak everyday

What are your ratios? can you tell more about your CKD?
Thanks

My ratio vary from

Fat: 60-75% Protein, well the rest
minimal carbs. Very minimal
I do that from Sunday to Friday

My carb loading is 24h, need to drop fat LOL. I do 10gr of carbs per kg of body weigh, and 1gr of per lbs (in theory).

___________

As for the week, it supposed to be
1.5gr of fat per 1gr of protein.

But dont be fooled, dont use the protein ratio of 1.5-1.3gr by lbs of bodyweigh or you might end up with alot of fat. In my case I reduce the calories intake a bit too.

so plan your calorie intake and plan the ratio with that.

So far so good but this week I cheated and it took me 3 days to get into keto,
oooooops!
