The Cyclical Ketogenic Diet
August 31, 2008 Sunday
Okay, the first week of ymy CKD has gone by. I have lost 4 pounds!!!! YAY!!! And no it wasn’t water, because I only gain about 5 or 6 pounds of water weight and it was, sorry guys, the time of the month. SO! The first two days I was feeling it like they said I would. But after that I was just real mellow. I got through my workouts and all. I didn’t quite exactly follow my eating plan exactly as I should have. I wanted to have 5 or 6 meals a day and really only have 3 with some slices of cheese. Also, I needed to eat more fat than I was in ratio with my protein. My weight loss could of been more if I had AND if I didn’t cheat some AND I didn’t have those diet sodas. Which I am not a big fan of but I had cravings and I really don’t like jello. I did use whip cream as a source to bash those cravings and it is completely alright with the CKD. So, that’s all for now I don’t hve much time because I’ve got to study, yes I am a college student and I do have a job. This diet is great for those who don’t have a lt of spare time on their hands to really take care of their bodies. I’ll have mre details next week, hopefully.

Okay, first off I want to say that the CKD is a GREAt diet for weight loss and mucles gain. BUT for those of us who actually have a job that requires a lot of physical activity it IS NOT for us! I work on a farm. Enough said. I got extremely tired and I didn’t feel good, which they said would happen but I have been on this diet for two weeks now. GREAT DIET don’t get me wrong but I need the carbs and I can’t afford to stay on it. SO I’m going to a more ‘energy producing-fat losing-muscle gaining’ way of eating (not saying a diet because it’s not one).
So to sum it all up:
Fat loss= GREAT for people who sit on their butts all day. NOT GREAT for those with a physically laboring job.
Muscle Maintenance or Gain=GREAT - IF DONE RIGHT!
Energy= Only if you don’t really do anything!
