dont know if you remember my post on the anabolic forum about my fatloss coming to a stop. i decided to try it your way and see how it works for me. i just have some questions though. is it necessary to add in two carb up days? i have done a search on ckd and the recommended carb up days range from 1,1.5,2 days. would'nt it be more beneficial if the carb up days are once a week? that way you are in ketosis and extra day. also, i remember reading your cdk manual a few months ago (think it was last year) and you stated to cosume little protein the day after carbing up. you said that it wouldnt do any damage because ketones are muscle sparing. i dont see how that wouldnt be damaging because you are not in ketosis the day after a carb up. wouldnt it be better to eat the usual 1g protein per lb? also, where is that ckd manual at? i cannot seem to find it. thanks for all your help!

The reason for the 2 days is because you are in total stall mode, your body needs time to recoup from the catabolic phase you've placed it in, also it needs homeostasis. I would recommend doing the 2 day carb-up initially, but stick to 1 day carb-ups for the future. (this is a one time event)

The protein sparing is the issue while out of ketosis, but when you train the day after ketosis, muscle catabolism is none-existant due to the anabolic increase in muscle cell volume and the revitilization of your muscle glycogen; thus, you are burning off muscle glycogen as fule and NOT proteins.
