vince gironda popularized this type of diet 40 years ago. He would allow you any meat, eggs, liver tablets for 3-5 days, then when you start to feel a bit dizzy or ill, carb up for one meal only that day, then repeat this cycle.

I am doing something like this now, but 4-5 days is too long for me.
I am running 3 days low carbs (around 50-70 g mostly from veg), then 'refeed' one day, so I have carbs in every meal, but it is low fat.
Our bodies adapt very quickly to anything we do to them.
We have a very long prehistory of very harsh conditions, and few things have come out of this:
1. Our ability to store energy for future use (FAT)
2. Our ability to slow the metabolism to adapt to whatever the calories are so we can survive.
Have you ever noticed when dieting in a very strict manner you hit a sticking point, give up, have a wee pig out and you find you have lost weight? The body no longer thinks it is starving, so it doesn't have to slow down anymore.
This is related to our leptin and gherelin (sp) hormones.
Mixing up the macros and calorie intake makes sure your metabolism does not slow down, which would also slow fat loss.
I am not sure if this is true, but I think Arnie used to run 4 days low carbs, then one day high.
Jay Cutler has run a similar thing but more like low, low medium low high repeat.

Bill phillips wrote about something similar to the "ckd" he called its the " a b c d "
anabolic burst cycling diet
he stated that low carbs for 5 days then 1-2 carb was a good way to keep off unwanted bodyfat caliming that the 2 day load was not enough to make the body start storing the fat.
He also suggested that it would help your body release growth hormones and increase testosterone in a giant burst to help burn away unwanted fat .
But dont get a load day confused with eating usless sugar its supposed to be 2 days filled with oatmeal,baked potatoes and rice with only a hint of sugar say maybe some sort of a sweet you have been craving all week and your reward yourself with a small bit on a saturday or sunday.
The diet plant went into good detail about protien ,fat ,and carb ratios .
is it the best diet to build muscle mass ? is it the best diet to build lean muscle mass ?
is it the best diet to burn fat? is it the best diet to stay lean and toned?
he seemed to write it was the best diet for everything above.
But after bill phillips turned muscle media into a fag rag i never paid much attention to his ideas.
basically the diet plan has been repackaged over and over by different authors over the years.
Someone even wrote a diet about " fat loading " 5 days low fat 2 days mega fat
with flax,borage,olive oil , up into the 300 gram a day of fat yup 2700 calories from fat along with the reg foods they claimed the mass fat released a giant amount of testosterone after being on restricted amounts of fat for a few days
I feel the key is a perfect balance of all three protien,fats,carbs
we need protien to build muscle we need carbs to help transport the protien we need fats to help with brian function and hormone secretion.
