Well I can tell you that it`s most difficult in the beginning. The first week or two were hard for me, Then it was`nt a problem after that. Stick it out bro. Think of the fat loss. lol

I went down from 230 to 200 last year on a CKD btw. Cut my bodyfat in half. 20`s% to 10%

Yes, just hang in there. The cravings are always the worst coming off a bulk. Once your body gets used to being in ketosis you'll feel much better (usually takes around 7-12 days before I feel normal).

stud bro

get through the first week or so and you'll be fine
enlist your friends to give you moral support
when craving think: do i want to lose body fat or stay the way i am

dr atkins suggested glutamine for carb cravings
i use it when craving alcohol

everyone is doing ckd diets and its kinda inspiring me to try it out to get ripped but I can't find exact examples of how to eat and exactly how to go about it. I noticed this doctor sells this book called "the ketogenic diet" and i wonder if this book lists what to do. is the atkins diet the same thing as ckd?

 

[obiwan9962]

no atkins is a ketogenic diet
but not well suited for bodybuilders
no refeed or carb up days allowed
it is strictly a cutting diet
i was on it for over 2 months
i am on ckd but go back when i hit a plateau
check any of mr X's stickys or swolecat's webpage for more info on diets suitable for bodybuilders

No that sounds reasonable. If you notice you're losing more than 1.5 to 2 lbs. a week I'd cut back. But I generally did 3 days of cardio (low intensity for 45 mins. to an hour) and didn't lose much muscle mass (at least as far as I could tell).

The 2nd day of ketosis (first time) is the hardest due to the lowest insulin levels. Not to worry, within the first 3 weeks of the diet any problem that you encounter now: cravings, tiredness, mood-swings etc...will ALL be gone. In fact, you'll feel like you've got more energy than you ever have had in your whole life, just stick it out my man.
