Why do most recomend no p/w carbs during CKD?

Beats me. I always have 20 grams of dextrose and 20 grams of maltodextrine post-workout. So far, it has never knocked me out of keto.

Ohashi, I agree with p/w carbs. I just always like to here the other side of things. I believe the anti-catabolic affects of p/w carbs far out way any benefits that would come with not taking p/w carbs.
 
Right. I'm just going to let the cortisol that built up during the lifting session run amock in my body without spiking the insulin to clear it (not to mention to shuttle the amino acids into my muscles as quickly as possible).
 
I think, provided you devote yourself to your workout and really get the muscles working, there's nothing wrong with some pre-workout carbs.

However, post-workout carbs are not the best idea, as there's a much greater chance that they'll cause you to fall out of ketosis.

I personally can handle up to 40 grams of dextrose and 40-50 grams of whey protein while still maintaining ketosis. Dextrose or dextrose/maltodextrin powders will do little to refill liver glycogen so even if one is kicked out of ketosis, he/she will shift back in to ketone production rapidly.

Yes, by not consuming any p/w carbs you may burn a few more fat calories, but by consuming p/w carbs and protein you increase the bodies ability to recover and decrease the catabolic enviroment (cortisol) created in your body after training. I also feel that the refilled muscle glycogen will help with your workouts throughout the week which can only be positive.

During a CKD, I only lift heavy the first 2 days or so after my carb up. Even then I keep it to just enough to prevent muscle loss. After that it's mostly cardio.
Post wo, I just have some protein or tuna. Then a regular meal later. All I can say is this works for me, with no lbm loss.

If something else works for you, well......don't fix it if it isn't broken.
