Sup bros...I am currently thinking of starting my first CKD diet HEY WATS UP BROS...I WAS WONDERING... with which diet can I loose fat more efficiently...1.)a high protein, low carb, low fat diet....or 2.)a CKD diet. Also..for u guys who have done the CKD diet in the past...How easy is it to gain back the fat after you go off the diet. Cuz i hear that everyone that stops doing the Atkin's diet ususally balloons up to their starting weight quite quickly.

CKD diet is the best for maximum fat loss

Those people balloon back up for a couple of reasons. Most of them weren't losing 15lbs to get from 12 to 8% bf.. They were seriously obese people that used a ketogenic diet because their eating habits were bad enough to get them that big in the first place. I know this because my eating habits are what had me at 270 2 years ago. They never address the problems that got them in the position they were in. Also, remember that the Atkins diet is an SKD not a CKD. In a standard ketogenic diet, you stay in a state of ketosis for an extended period of time. Even though you do eat some carbs, there is never a time for carb up. Because of the appetite suppression from the ketones, it's easy to let your calories get really low, and thyroid function suffers. Ultimately, months later, you begin to eat carbs, and you are very insulin sensitive and your metabolism is down. You've deprived yourself of carbs for so long, it's easy to overdo when you can eat them again. If you don't follow the gradual readdition of carbs as he lays out, you run the risk of gaining back everything you lost and then some. With a CKD, though, the weekly carb up keeps your metabolism and leptin levels up. You don't stay carb deprived for more than 5 or 6 days at a time, and there is no big extended calorie deficit to worry about. In the long term, a CKD is much better from that standpoint.
That being said, both have the potential danger of helping people lose weight without addressing the dietary concerns that got them fat in the first place. For long term wellness, a balance has got to be reached where you can learn to eat a healthy diet and maintain your ideal weight. This may have rambled a little, but I hope it answered your questions.
