Day 3 on CKD and feeling good...why?

[HS Lifter]

Ive been on my ckd diet for 3 days.

Eating 2000 cal a day.

Drinking lots of water and taking vitamins.

Havent had any carbs besides the hidden carbs in all my meals.

I feel good and not slugish.

According to ketostix, im in a very mild state of ketosis.

Will my luck end pretty soon resulting in feeling like shit or what?

I feel great on ckds... everyone responds differently

Well, fuck you. lol

I've always used a CKD for dieting, and each and every time I feel like total shit. It never gets better, even after a couple of weeks...I feel sick, weak, shaky, etc. The only time I feel normal is during the carb-up.

Ah well, it takes the fat off so I stick with it.

Don't question it. Just enjoy it.

How's your cardio and weight training? I find that even after a carb-up, a few days later on low carbs I feel fine, but after a cardio session or 2 at 30-45 minutes, I suppose my carb stores are down to nothing and that's when the shakes kick in...

no matter how bad it could make me feel, those negative feelings are far outweighed by the positives when you look in the mirror. Even after a few days, the water loss makes my abs pop out sooo much better and in the gym, I feel more defined when I sneak peeks of myself... tehe. Go keto!

I feel great on keto too, but the carb ups KILL me I HATE THEM. I can`t believe people look forward to them. lol I guess they "feel" differently on carbups.

If I could gain mass on keto i would stay year round on it lol. It`s the whole "you can`t build muscle on keto" that makes me want to stop.

The brain seems to actually PREFER running on ketons for energy, did you know that? many of the body's organs do, except the liver...This may have something to do with why you're in a decent mood.

Im in the purple stage on the keto stix.

Still feelings pretty good.

I am on day 2 of a CKD, in fact I just finished the Day 2, 45 min. empty stomach cardio. I actually feel OK, I suspect that after the leg workout tonight I will be "feelin' it." I hope this works out!

during and around the carb-up day, i actually want to kill/maim people. but it's also like that in the middle/beginning of the week.

i'm about 2.5 weeks into CKD. i need to buy some calipers

I feel AWESOME in ketosis. Calm, peaceful, very Zen.

Get some carbs in me, and I turn into a total basket case. It's like night and day - I'll snarl at people for no reason, or cry at a television commercial. Very helpful to keep this in mind when I consider breaking my diet...

i get so tired on the carb ups.

Little Debbie not doing it for you? I've had that product listing bookmarked since you posted it to the chat board.

If you've been in keto awhile, carb-ups feel similar to going into keto for the first time. I hate them and I always feel guilty after I eat carbs... lol i'm like a little girl i just wanna go pull the trigger (gag myself, not suicide) in the bathroom after i eat them.
