First, big ups to BOTCH. Dude is seriously a friggin CKD encyclopedia. He has been awesome for helping me out, and he also sent me this protocol. Hopefully he doesn't mind me sharing it, it's too golden not to.

He didn't write this, but he knows everything about CKD!

2g liquid CHO/kg LBM (simple sugars or glucose polymers) PER MEAL

Substage B: Meals 5-8
1.5g liquid CHO + solid High-glycemic CHO (i.e.- corn flakes)/kg LBM PER MEAL

Substage C: Meals 9-12
0.5g solid starches + some liquid CHOs PER MEAL

STAGE II: 25-48 hours
Feedings: 12 (every 2 hrs. incl. while you sleep)
CHOs Type: Mixed, Primarily starches
All 15% EFAs in 24 hour period, Walnuts = ideal

Substage A: Meals 1-4
1g CHO/kg LBM ... Insulin sensitivity declining therefore, eat more solid CHOs + protein

Substage B: Meals 5-8
0.75g CHO/kg LBM ... Rice, Pasta, Potatoes

Substage C: Meals 9-12
0.5g CHO/kg LBM ... Since want to begin lowering BG before new week of glycogen depletion, Simple liquid CHOs + Protein ... SUGAR CRASH

Actually, you mean "The 'refeed' by CKD master DAN DUCHAINE".

You do realize that's just a copy of the Recomp section in Bodyopus with some of the sentences shortened, right?

LOL yes. The only reason I mentioned botch is because he is the man to turn to with questions. I didn't mean to say that he authored it.

That wasn't necessary(to do for me, at least), but credit should be given to the author when their ideas are represented almost identically as they are here.

Plus, Bodyopus is a great book, as is Lyle McDonald's The Ketogenic Diet and The Ultimate Diet 2.0. Anyone looking into CKD's would benefit from picking up any of these books.

Yeah I'm trying to figure out which one to buy.

[rpen22]

All of them are great, but the two by Lyle are a bit more "up to date". I have all three of them. The Ketogenic Diet goes into great detail about the basics and training, along with the two modified KD's, and UD2.0 is much shorter but still very interesting and the diet/training protocol has great feedback. Dan's Bodyopus has a lot of good stuff and is more fun to read, but according to Lyle, it's a bit dated.

Another interesting resource, which is also quite dated BTW, are Lyle's Bodyopus diaries following him through his trial of Bodyopus with the guidance of Duchaine.
