Tapering off or cycling CKD...

[beastboy]

How does one go about tapering off.....or say maybe cycling CKD in every couple months?

I've been on CKD for 6 weeks....thinking of giving it a couple more than coming off.

if I'm correct from what i've read you add like 10 grams of carbo's a day each week.

So by the end of week 1, you would be up to about 70 grams?

every week add 25 grams of carbs daily and start lowering fat.

I've done it a couple of ways and both worked well.

The first week, add either green vegetables 1 or 2 meals.
OR......add oatmeal during breakfast meal.

2nd wk: have oatmeal w/ breakfast AND green vegetables for a meal.

.....After this, just keep adding a serving of carbs (Low gi) to each meal until you're where u want to be. After the first week, Hi gi post workout is fine as well, simply because its post workout.
best of luck. And DEFINATELY separate carb and fat meals.

bump,

anymore advice/suggestions? coming off in 2 days...

I would introduce 20 more carbs per day for each week. Until you build up to where you want to be. Eat low GI carbs, or take ALA. I would think that is the safest.

Adding oatmeal for 1 week, etc was a good suggestion as well.

instead of tapering my food intake, I usually come off CKD cold turkey, and instead, I alter my workout. I'll usually up it to cardio every day and heavier/longer weighted workouts when I reintroduce carbs. I also do not introduce dextrose or any sugars for that matter back into my diet for a good 4 weeks. Haven't gained any fat post ckd with this method.

So what do your meals look like? As far as a total macro breakdown?
