Women and CKD

[Candy]

Is a CKD diet something that a woman would typically do well on? Also how many days do you go before you carb up? Three or five or seven? also how long was your carb up??

Thanks

Good question. I would like to know too.

It ought to work as well for a female as it would for a male.

A standard CKD would generally run 5 or 6 days with a 1 or 2 day carb-up. I typically go five days low-carb and begin carbing up around supper time on the 5th day - then I just continue carbing until bedtime the following day.

Now i feel like im retaining ungodly amounts of water after a carb up day - did I overdo it??? It almost hurts.
