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!

This refeed protocol begins immediately upon completion of a full body depletion workout:
STAGE I: Initial 24 hours
Feedings: 12 (every 2 hrs., incl. while you sleep)
CHOs: 16 x LBM (kg) / Type: Glucose, Glucose polymers, Starches
All 15% EFAs in 24 hour period, Walnuts = ideal
Substage A: Meals 1-4
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
