I don't follow the first couple sentences...do you mean that you had to work at getting back into ketosis other wise you would spend 2 days after carb up OUT of ketosis?

Are you saying you ate nothing but flax oil and bacon outside of your carb-ups? That's a shit tojn of bacon my friend. I'm kind of psyched to try the CKD...even for just a couple weeks to see how my body reacts.

Yeah i lost 3lbs/week. Starting at 200lbs.

To me the most important part was getting out of ketosis. If i didnt work at it, i would spend two days after my carb up in ketosis. And if you include that 36 hour carb up, thats basically half the week you spend out of ketosis. Not my cup of tea. Basically, i limited my self to smaller carb ups. like 6-8 hours. 3-4 small meals. And downed lots of ALA during and imediately after them. Comming off of the carb up i would focus on fats. So 5-6tbsp's of flax oil throughout the day and everything else was bacon. Also lots of ALA. Maybe 1000mg's in the day.

My bad,
Yeah if i didnt actively work to get back into ketosis, i would spend about 2 days OUT of ketosis. Then my third day in a light ketosis.

If i went heavy on the fat the first days out and lower protien (body turns protein into glucose so it prevents ketosis from happening) I could get out faster. Yeah it is alot of bacon, but it has a wicked ratio of fat to protein, very good for when your trying to get out.
I found a two for one sale at one of my grocery stores and bought about 16 packs of bacon which i ate over the course of 4 weeks.
Of course eating like this out of ketosis would be disasterous but it worked great when your bodies using all of that fat for fuel.

Although, i would keep in mind that if you try CKD the first two weeks your body will be adjusting to working on ketones. It takes a little before your used to it.

wut does CKD means oh and also BCAA thnx

 

[jatca69]

wut does CKD means oh and also BCAA thnx

bcaa = BRANCH CHAIN AMINO ACIDS (building blocks of muscle tissue)
ckd = CYCLED KETOSIS DIET (I think) (ketosis is a way of depriving your body of carbs so it uses your stored fat for energy)

im no whiz but i have a friend w/13% bf and he looks nothin like that, id say u have like 6 or 7,

he's not at 6-7.

if i had to guess, having to take peoples bf everyday, id guess mid 9's

This is down from about 18-20% bf.
after 5 weeks of CKD
Im guessing im around 11-13% BF in these pics
Went unassisted the whole way.

you can check the update here

Made my own topical fat burner with pure aloe vera gel, and yohimbine powder.
I used some BCAA's in heavy doses to preserve muscle and 1000mg's of vitamin c to keep cortisol down. lots of ALA with carb up meals, and lots of fat comming out of the carb up

you did this in 5 weeks i think im having trouble following what bcaa means i read branched chain amino acids which in english i still dont know. is this a protein shake. Whats ala which is what you took when you carbed up

Yeah 5 weeks.
BCAA's are the amino acids used to make protein. Weather or not they work better than protein is debatable. Theres a fair ammount of research supporting there ability to maintain muscle when your in a caloric deficit over regular protein. However verylittle (Actually theres more research to the contrary) that supports there ability to enhance muscle growth.

ALA- Alpha Lipoic Acid.
This keeps your body from putting carbs into your liver, and helps shuttle them into muscle cells. The ammount of carbs in your liver is the gauge your body uses to decide weather it should be in ketosis. So you can have muscles full of carbs, and still be in ketosis as long as your liver is empty.
So ALA helps you stay in ketosis that way

Yes but, your cardio is going to represent an extra half a pound-a pound of fat loss a week. You can do it without it, but its really worth doing.[/QUOTE


can you tell me how to make the topical fat burner and do you think it works. if so is it only on the androgen receptor type of fat. how do you apply it like how many times before eating does it matter.
