CKD Results

[flexygrl]

Hi All,

Started CKD on Thursday @ 142.2.

Today I am down to 139.8. According to my Tanitta scale my BF has gone up 1.5%. I know that the weight loss is mostly water,but I am really concerned with the BF. Will this level out and eventually start coming down?

those scales are not accurate. i proved that by weighing myself and getting my bodyfat. then i drank 1 gallon of water.... was 8 lbs heavier and bodyfat dropped 5% give me a break!

Ketosis (the basis for CKD) creates an imbalanced electrolyte environment, which, in itself, is the cause for the misreading by the Tanitta scale. It's a digital instrument that uses electricity (in laymans terms) to measure your BF; thus, if it's interrupted by an imbalance in the body - caused by Ketosis - it usually gives improper readings.

Solution: don't worry, unless you're eating 2000 calories a day, you shouldn't worry at all....

Mr. X,

Thanks so much for replying!! I feel like I'm talking to a celebrity. The CDK thing you created is great! The scale is finally moving after 2 months!!! I'll keep you all posted on a weekly basis, if that's okay. Thanks again.

Flexygirl-

Would you mind posting samples of what you eat on CKD?

I see some peoples food selections that dont seem to fit in CKD guidelines, or make a lick of sense.

Thanks

Here you go

Here it is. It's very crude. I had to put it together on the fly. I am using fitday and I am trying to get as close as possible to the numbers from Mr. X's CKD sheet.

Thanks Flexygirl.

One thingI wasnt able to get form your post was meal frequency.
How many meals per day are you taking?

Also someting I was wondering about....I say you had coffee on there. Havent I read somewhere that caffiene will mess with ketosis due to it altering insulin uptake or something?

Hi,

As far as meal frequency, I really don't know. I just eat when I'm hungry. I try to space out my meals the best I can but when I am working its difficult. I only just started it. I don't know about caffeine either. Mr.X said something about Diet Dr. Pepper, atleast I think that was him, and that has caffeine. Also, I got the cofee and cream thing from someone elses CKD post. Maybe Mr. X can clarify this for us?

One more thing...

I printed off your diet pages, could you list your training, such as what days you do cardio, legs, back and so on, So I can get a feel of how this part fits.

Also, how long do you find it takes you to hit ketosis?

Thanks for your replies.
