CKD or 50/20/30, mr. X?

[zlivan]

What do you think would be more apropriate for a person having to lose just a few pounds and not a shitload of fat?

I'm 5'11", 170lbs at the moment, second week of 6/1 CKD, no cardio at all and things are going fine, but I wonder if the other way was more efficient or less painfull. I only have a small ammount of fat around my lower abs and on the sides.

the ckd is more reliable

I go by the facts: since you are using CKD at the present and getting good results then don't switch around, it would be pointless. Yet, if you are looking to achieve long term fat-loss, and a more healhty body, then I would recommend 50/20/30. I am not labeling diets, just stating the facts at hand.

Feel free to PM me with questions.

P.S. I have gotten great results with 50/20/30 and with CKD

I'll definitely stick with CKD for a few more weeks. Starting something new every week is never a good idea. I guess it's especially true for a diet like CKD.

Well to be honest i like the idea of the CKD diet very much, but it takes 4 weeks to get use to and after semptember i probably won't diet to cut, i usually start bulking up. So i will only diet until the end of the summer. No point in making it a miserable 4 more weeks.

Good Luck.

I got used to it rather quick and without much pain, since I don't like sweets and am not much of a carb-maniac. The only problem is that I have to prepare the food and eat and home which I'm not used to at all
As for the lifting, strength is definitely down, but I haven't experienced any muscle loss. On the contrary, I think I'm actually gaining a little. I'd say the intensity of training sessions are pretty much the same, except on a somewhat lower strength level.

Well 2 days ago i switched over and eat carbs before and after workout only. I am doing cardio also. My workout yesterday was SUPER intense. So i personally think if you want to stay big and lift hard, just eat right: mod. carbs, mod. fat, high protein and do cardio. I think i rather have the intense workout i did yesterday and wait an extra 3 weeks for results, to be able to lift hard, IMHO.

Good Luck bro.

I totally agree But since I can only suffer that much (and every diet is suffering in its own way) I prefer the fast solution. The choice of diet probably has much more to do with person's character rather than his/her body I'm at the end of week two on CKD, but I know I won't be able to take much more than four weeks total. I like food too much, and fortunately I don't get fat easy.
How's your progress? I lost 10lbs so far, great deal of it is water of course.
