Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below i have researched a bunch of diets to run for the next 5 weeks to loose 10 pounds and have decided to try kakdiesels ckd diet. I will run it begining the 26th through june 28. I am trying to loose the last 10 pounds. I have recently lost 10 pounds on a tkd but am bored with it and am stalling for the last month. I will post my results every few days.
ckd to lose 10 pounds in 5 weeks

. I can lose almost 10 pounds in one week on a CKD. Unfortunately it's mostly water and it will come back when I eat carbs again. Just so you understand this it will make your life easier.
As far as a basic CKD sure you can lose 2 pounds a week if you play your cards right, just don't go too overboard with calorie restriction or you may have some serious rebound when you eat carbs again.

thanks for your input, i chose a ckd because i feel the best on this diet. I have more energy and less hungry. I respond to it very well. when i have tried it in the past the only problem i had was with the carb ups. i would put on too much water and then would feel terrible for the next few days. This time i will be very careful with carb ups maybe put on two to four pounds during carb ups . any suggestions on carb ups. I may try a small cheat meal on friday and saturday nights. I do not want to go super strict, i am not competing or anything just want to drop ten in 5 weeks

Yeah man, I go on the treadmill and turn the incline as high up as it will go(level 15) and i walk at 3.3mph for 45-50minutes and that keeps my heart-rate in the fat burning zone and it's not hard at all. If you have one of those little radio that everyone has on their arms, bring it.
Good Luck

As far as carb-ups go it's hard for me to see this point of view since I always looked forward to mine. I couldn't wait for the day I could pig out on what I was missing during the week and I never had any issues about feeling guilty or sluggish for the next few days. I got rid of the bodybuilding demons and I knew I'd gain a load of water so I just stayed off of the scale.
For someone who has trouble with carb-ups for whatever reason I'd say it's best for you to treat it like any other diet day and count calories and carb intake. Set an amount you want to eat and stick to it. Don't cheat and eat horrible foods unless your body could handle them. I could eat garbage foods and I had no issues the following day, in fact I felt great. The only effects I ever had was eating so much I'd get bloated and have some gas.
Also remember that these carb-ups are essential for someone who wants to keep any kind of strength in the gym. You have to pound it into your head that you aren't cheating and that the carb-up is an essential part of your diet. Far too many people try to skimp on carb-ups thinking they'll make fat loss faster by not doing it, however due to leptin and your metabolism in general I think by skipping them you are actually doing more harm. If you can't handle a full day carb-up then do something like start it on a Friday night and continue up until the middle of Saturday. That way you don't have one full day of carbing up and give your body a break from the carbs. Eat the higher GI carbs on the first night and then go into the lower GI carbs the next morning. I wouldn't eat only low GI carbs personally as this is one of the only times that sugary foods won't risk fat gain.

When you go on your carb up it is very simple. Fri afteroon till bed...higher GI carbs like potatoes and rice work PERFECT. Then Saturday until bedtime...lower GI carbs....brown rice, cream of wheat, VEGETABLES (for fiber), whole wheat products (not bread), OATMEAL (fiber), those are the only things I eat during my carb ups. Basically what I do is keep a running tab on how many carbs I am having at each meal and when that number hits the number of grams I need to eat for the day, I stop. Also MAKE SURE you drink at least 1.5 gallons of water on your carb up days and take at LEAST 3 grams of ALA, 10 grams of Creatine, and 800mcg's Chromium.
Make sure on the carb up that you are minimizing fat intake just like you would on a standard diet. Stay away from sugary foods too. Use the CKD Calculator to get your numbers for you carb up day.
If you do your carb up this way, be prepared to be thrilled with the results. No fat gain, all glycogen and a GREAT monday workout!! Hope this helps. By the way, I am a CKD Moderator at another board so if you have any questions you can PM me.

Best of luck! I'm sure you'll do well.
I used a CKD plan based on Kak's and Mr.X's, sort of used both put together and after a couple of weeks it was perfect for me.
....As for adding carbs back later, I started off with green veggies at one meal. Then added 16 oz of milk the next week.....then oatmeal the next week....and so on.
I only gained back about 3 lbs (H2O) and have stayed there since May 1st. Just return to normalcy slow and the CKD will do ya right.
And remember...if ya need anything, we're all here to help.
