My CKD Results

bump for progress

He's having trouble accessing EF. His own employees have put a Surf Control on his computer....LMAO. Wish I had a boss that would LET me get away with that!

I think he is about 187 after his carb-up....he was 185 before......he is now wearing his wrist watch as a belt.

Finally able to access the site. Was down as low as 185.5 over the weekend. Did my carbup on Saturday this week because I need the energy to play ball on Sunday. Cheated for the first time yesterday. Had a father's day/birthday bbq yesterday and had a sliver of birfday cake and a little ice cream. Was only 187.5 this morning and i'm pretty happy with that. That's 3 lbs lighter than the morning after my last carbup.

Yup and that is the way to measure it!

Good job!

OKAY!! I am new to the CKD and I have a few questions...What is R-ALA and what does it do? Second, what is "Mr. Excrements calculator"(someone mentioned it above). Thirdly, I have looked at different web-sites regarding CKD and some of them recommend different portions of macronutrients,(i.e. some say the protein should be more than the fat, etc.) so I am confused. Also, what type of workout does each person do while on CKD? And I think this is my last question...can you have cottage cheese or peanut butter (Simply Jiff) while on the CKD?
Oh, no I lied, this is my last question...I don't know how I can justify eating this much fat, it can't be good for your heart and arteries, can it? I don't know, it's just kind of a scary thing. This is the type of stuff that I have tried to avoid b/c diabetes is hereditary in my family(my dad has type 1-juvenile onset diabetes) and this is the kind of food that can lead to heart-disease(the fat). So, if you get the majority of fat from health sources(i.e. unsaturate, monounsaturated), then will you be safer, or I am just way off here? Any little tidbits that anyone want to give me would be really appreciated. Thanks so much!!!
BUMP

LOL....let's see here:

Bump doesn't have to be used in all your posts...it is used just to get the thread at the top of the page when you want more responses without necessarily posting anymore questions....just an FYI and me giving you a hard time.

Mr. Excrement is just the name that goofy bastard HG Pennypacker calls Mr. X. Here is the website that is based off of his calculator. http://www.noetzel.net/ckd/

The easiest way for me to do CKD is to keep your fat/pro ratio at 50:50 and your carbs under 20grams. I would start there.

The fats are used as energy so therefore not stored and harmful...there is more science behind it that others may care to elaborate on or read more on the Atkins diet.....he goes into great detail.

You can eat limited amount of the cottage cheese and PB, but I would stear away from them if possible......just watch your carb grams and keep them under 20.

You may also want to look into an ECA for energy purposes and to aid in your fat loss.

r-ala: alpha lipoic acid that is more potent than regular ALA...do a search on its benefits...too much to list...it should be used on your refeeds.

Hope that helps.

LMAO. It's actually Mr X. I was attempting to make a funny.

You bring up an interesting point though. If you compare Mr X and the C-K-D.com website, there are two schools of thought trying to get to the same results. C-K-D uses the same macronutients every day. Mr X's calculator changes every day. Mr X promotes a 1 day carb up. C-K-D uses 2 days. C-K-D promotes post workout carbs. I'm not sure what Mr X's stand on that is.

I just wonder why there are such different schools of thought.

I'm not qualified to comment on the health issues, so i'll leave that to someone else. I am still alive, though.

Hi Courtney,

Since CKD is sort of based on Dr. ATkins principles you may find your answers here:

Now cross over to the dark side and join us! You will be glad you did!

I wouldn't be surprised if both methods worked, but I assume w/mr X's diet you'll lose fat quicker because of the single carb up day and no post workout carbs. however I'm thinking that the c-k-d program would provide better post workout recovery and help your workouts more than X's diet.

My thoughts as well. I'm sticking with the one day carbup because i'm already having trouble getting back into ketosis afterwards.

My main goal is fat loss and since i'm coming off two fairly significant shoulder injuries over the past 9 months, i'm going to take it easy with the weights until the fall.

I think I'm going to try the c-k-d diet, and if that doesn't put me in ketosis fast enough, then I'll try the one day carb up w/PW carbs.
