CKD Results

[flexygrl]

Hi Vulgar,

Like I said, I just started on Thursday. Today is only day 3 for me. I am probably not your best source of info. If you go to MassMonsters and read the CKD manual, there is a whole bunch of info on training. I am not following that only because for one I can't wake up in the AM and do cardio. I have tried and I am just too tired. I have kept up my training as usual since Thursday. According to MR. X you are suppose to do a 2 day split. If I did this I would not be able to work out with my husband and I don't want to give that up. That's our quality time together.

Thurs Day 1-did shoulders. It was rough, but I made it through. 30 min cardio
Friday Day 2-Legs! Had a great WO. 30 min of cardio
Don't know what is planned for today.

I definetly notice a lack of strength and I am constantly tired, but I keep telling myself that it's only for 5 or so weeks and then I'll be okay.

The CKD worksheet Mr.X created is great. So is fitday.com. It's basically dummy proof. I already have my whole week planned.

I hope this helps you even if it's just a little.

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?

Coffee does no such thing....it's a myth that was started a while back by health freaks that didn't want people to drink coffee. The only thing I've seen in studies is that caffeine reduces insulin sensitivity but on a MINOR scale - nothing major at all. As Flexygrl pointed out about the Dr. Pepper, it's the carbonation and artificial sweeteners that kick you out of ketosis, not the caffeine part - not usually that is. As far as cream in coffee, as long as it's reasonably under 5g carbs, you'll be fine.

Mr. X,

Thanks again! Yup the cream is heavy cream. 0 carbs. Not stomach friendly, though!!

I drink at least 2 cups every morning with heavy cream while on CKD and it has never kncked me out of ketosis. I also drink lots of iced tea. I couldn't do CKD without the coffie and tea!

Not to toot my own horn here, but I am the CKD MOD over at MassMonsterz.com. Any questions you might have about this diet and the training I will be glad to answer.

Thank Iron,

Well. So far so good, I guess. I took my weight this morning and it is 140.2. So that's a 2 pound loss before my carb up. I was really tired this week and missed 2 cardio sessions. I also could not do the morning cardio sessions. i am planning to up my cardio this week and see if it makes a difference. I am just a little disapointed cause I was expected to see a greater loss.

Patience...

Honestly, I'd only weigh in about every 2 weeks, unless you're getting ready for a comp. 2 lbs/week is the max you want to lose, except for maybe the first week when you'll be dropping water due to the reduction in carbs.

I would also not use the Tanita - get a pair of inexpensive calipers, and just measure your skinfolds yourself. It will be much more reliable form of measuring diet results than the Tanita and the scale.
