?'s for all you TKD dieters

[brahma_bull]

I just started an SKD, going to run it for 2 weeks and then was thinking about giving a TKD a try. I generally work out in the mornings and I was going to set up my day like this.

Wake-up: first meal meat/eggs with 50g of complex carbs i.e. no sugar

2 hours later: workout followed immediately by 30-45 mins of moderate 60-65% MHR cardio for optimal fat burning.

Rest of the meals throughout the day following the ketogenic formula

Most of what I’ve read about TKD’s says that you can be back in ketosis a few hours following your workout and that the 50g carbs pre-workout will be burned up during exercise and doesn’t count towards the <30g carbs/day limit. The 50g carbs provides energy for the workout but later in the day you will snap back into ketosis for the remainder of the day and throughout sleep.

Looking for some feedback from people that have actually run these and how it worked for them, as well as correcting any info that’s incorrect or needs to be fine tuned.

Peace!

my ckd is running great. 1 week complete with 8.5 lbs loss after carb up.

awesome results man, TKD is a little diff though, you don't carb up on the weekends, just 50g of carbs 2 hours before you lift to give you energy for your workout.

TKD works great for me, much better than a CKD. The idea is targeted carbs, thus the name..targeted ketogenic diet. I also work out in the morning...and I ran mine with a good breakfast, oats for complex carb source, and a carb/protein mix pwo. A good way to judge glycogen is sets/2x5. So if you do 20 sets, you would need 50 gr. of carbs around your workout.

yea TKD and CkD close I just use Dextrose and do not include it with total carb count as long as your back in Keto Range.

So does my layout look alright, i have read about people doing carbs preworkout only and pre and post workout. If you did both pre and post carbs would post be simple carbs? I'm leaning towards just preworkout.

TKD to me again is targeted keto. The key to this is just that, targeting your carbs around your workout so you will have some for pre workout, and some for pwo.

I would have my pre workout meal, then a recovery shake. My ppwo would be my last carb meal, and it would consist of lean protein, a very fibrous carb source like black beans or black eyed peas, and veggies. The rest of the day it was protein/veggies/fats.

This worked extremely well for me.
