Considering a return to this type of diet. Did CKD for many months about 4 years ago. Good results. Haven't purchased DiPasquale's book yet. I read a lot about the entrance/beginning phase starting with BW X 18 for calories. How emphatic is he on this? I ask because @ 290lbs, I'll be eating over 5000 calories. Wish I remembered him for the last year as I have been powerlifting, would have been nice to not have gotten this fat:burg::lol:
