[swordfish151]

If i do decide to do the CKD what should my grocery list consist of...how oh how do you not eat more then 20g of carbs...better yet...how or what do you consume to just get 20mgs of carbs...protein shakes? 4g a serving?

thanks bro!! I assume that the (carbs on the list) are for the carb UP days...20 grams of carbs a day isnt alot to work with..

 

[obiwan9962]

yes
but i used them also as rescue carbs
when a craving becomes a jonesing you can slip back on them
and you have to consider glycemic index
some carbs contain alot of fiber so actually burn more cals than the provide

I suppose my main worry is how to get or spread 20 grams of carbs throught the day....im lost to why you have to consider the GI index? The 20 grams of carbs should come for a complex (low GI) source right?

 

[obiwan9962]

yes
but the gi takes into the fact fiber
fiber slows down the uptake of carbs
but let's not worry about that for now
just remember a simple glass of carbs will contain 12 grams of carbs
save your carbs for post work out

So i could get away with no carbs in the am...and just do 16G dextrose post? with shake (has 4g carbs) sorry as im new ot the CKD...

I always enjoy getting almonds/walnuts and snacking on them throughout the day.
