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

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...
anymore advice/suggestions? coming off in 2 days...
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.
Important, when you start adding carbs, you have to clean up your diet immediantly. No more bacon and fatty meats. Ease up on the cheeses.
Add 10 g per week until you are at roughly 120g per day. Then you can split it up however you want (40/30/30).
This is what worked for me. I didn't gain a single pound after CKD. As a matter of fact, I lost a few in the following month.

If you start a Cyclo Ketonic Diet, I would suggest a follow up of at least 12 weeks though the diet. Afterwhich, you need to "wheen" carbohydrates back in your diet slowly - insulin sensitivity issues and bloating issues will become your main concern (not counting possible weight gain).
The way to come off:
Let's say today is Friday, your "full body workout" day right before the carb-up. Well, instead of doing a sat/sun. carb up, you eat some lean protein and low-gi carbs on sat and sunday. Around 100g of low gi carbs on sat and the same on sunday (oatmeal is good) w/ some chicken breasts or tuna (any lean protein is fine). On monday-sunday, do the same thing - keep calories at about weight x 12 we about 50%protein/20-30%carbs/20%fat (plus minus some % - just try to keep in the 100g carbs range for that 1st week). Then the following week, on monday you take in 120g carbs, tuesday 130, wed. 140, thur-sunday 150g. Thereafter, you should be able to start any type of "diet" you wish, for in 2 weeks most people get their body back into gear for carb intake.
