So I've been on the CKD diet for a week now. Naturally, I'm a skinny guy (5'10" 170), but I'd like lose ~5lbs of fat, particularly in the ab region (I'm on the verge of a 6-pack, but have a thin layer + love handles/a little back fat).
Currently, I lift 5 times a day, fairly heavy, for an hour at lunch, and do 20 minutes on a spin bike at medium intensity after work. I eat whatever I want (burgers, pizza) on saturdays, but try to stay in moderation. I don't count calories (although maybe I should) because I'm well, lazy. I just try to make sure I don't overeat/stuff myself everytime I have a meal (which happens 4-5 times a day).
Anyways, I'm told that a variety of fruits are just fine, and don't really count for carbs (from some reading I've been doing through these boards)? Any validity to that? If so, what kinds of fruits can I consume without spiking blood sugar? I'm pretty big on fruit, but I've cut it completely out of my diet (sans saturday) for this diet.
Any other suggestions are also welcome. Ideally, I'd like to stay on this diet as short as possible, so I can start bulking again (I've noticed some muscle loss already, which is frustrating).
