Ckd?

Yeah sorry I gotta correct myself I meant that the described diet has the same principle as "cyclic ketogenic diet" except you don't go into ketosis for the whole week ...

Not really. I didn't read the whole thing word for word but the author does state that this is not a high fat diet such as KETO. CKD is based on 60-65% of your calories coming from fat, the reason behind this is that is your energy source (there are others). Not saying this diet does not work but I don't think I caould carb deplete for very long with out being extremely tired if I wasnt getting energy from another source. Of course this should work cause the author is cycling every 3rd day or so.
