CKD? Good or bad?
Is this really the best way to preserve muscle and loose fat? Generally how much strength do you guys loose in 8 weeks of a CKD diet? Is it possible of make strength gains while on this diet?
I know these might sound like dumb questions but this will be my first attempt at trying to loose some bf. The entire time I have been into bodybuilding I have been bulking and now its time to scale back. To me it looks like muscle size and strength would go to shit on this diet. | | Reply » CKD?

You will lose weight. You actually end up eating less calories, even though it's alot of fat. It kind of naturally supresses your appetite. The foods are tasty, and with a 24-48 hour carb up period, you tend not to get bored with it. I basically would eat chicken wings, bacon, eggs, bologna and steak for 6 days, and then eat ice cream, pizza and m-m's for 1 day. If you are in a position where you need to take off over 20+ pounds, it will work well, and keep you from getting bored, being that you can basically eat anything you want for over a weeks time.
I've always used it after extended periods of bulking, just to get me in my ballpark, then fine tuned my regular diet to get in great shape from there. I would suggest researching the Anabolic Diet by DiPasquale as a reference.

Well I guess my biggest concern is loosing my strength and arm size. I just dont see how you can maintain strength on a workout program like that. Would it be ok to train like this:
Day 1- tri's, shoulders, chest Day 2- legs Day 3 cardio Day 4 cardio Day 5 back Day 6 cardio
?? Does it have to be any certain way?

I would stick to one bodypart per day
Mon Chest Tue Back/Shoulders Wed Legs Thur Arms Fri rest Sat rest Sun cardio (if you must) I'm not a fan of cardio for weight loss and muscle preservation, but most people insist, so if you do, cut it to 1 day.
Something along those lines, you can play with your days, according to your own personal schedule. If you like to go to the gym almost every day, then by all means, break up tri's/bi's, back/shoulders to seperate days.
You will be surprised how much strength you retain, and IMO how much better your muscle will look while using this diet.
