3 weeks into CKD

Jeanice · 06-12-2008, 12:09 PM

I must say the 1st 2 weeks were not that successful. Didnt lose any weight and I couldnt see much difference in my physical appearance. I was a bit discouraged. Now I am in week 3, upped my cardio and hopefully things will go right. I think I got my refeeds wrong. But we will see. Any input?

im 5'2
146lbs
22% bf
training for 5 years
age 22
bodybuilding style, a lot of supersets.
cardio now 6 days a week. alternate 30-45 mins.

please let me know!

My reccomendation is to watch the amount of fat that you eat. Most people think that just because they are on cdk and they are in ketosis that they will lose weight. How much fat are you eating?

right now im eating about 75 grams of fat a day along with 5 oz of lean meat 5 meals a day.

i checked into it also, i should be eating about 101 grams of fat and 136 grams of protein.

how do your refeeds looks like?

First let me say that if you haven't loss ANY weight, chances are you aren't in ketosis. You should've dropped at least a few pounds of water weight. Second, 5 oz of meat, 5 times a day is 25 ounces or almost 1.5 pounds of meat, never seen that much meat with only 136, except fucking birds, chicken and turkey suck. You are not counting calories correctly if you haven't loss any weight at all.

refeeds are somewhere between 510 grams over the 2 days. i was originally on cha by scivation and thats where the 5oz 5 times a day came. i just switched it up to keto.

510 grams over 2 days isn't enough. Aim for 4.5 grams of carbs per a pound of body weigh the FIRST day, and half that the second.

Keep fat fairly low as possible during carb loads. 50-40 grams.

split between the 2 days correct?

**Thomas_Rivera** · 06-15-2008, 05:16 AM

no, 40-50 grams each of those two days. I'll check for the exact numbers
