I tried the CKD, too. I didn't do well but I think that had more to do with the fact that my carb ups turned into blow ups (literally!). I did manage to pack on a little muscle, though, so it wasn't a total loss.

My problem is with that last 20 pounds my body is holding hostage.

If I may - I'm a little disappointed. Going from the CKD, then to increasing my carbs a bit and back down to a TKD will be tough. I'm seeing the only 'bonus' (as far as eating) is a handful of candy in the morning! Not my idea of a good time.

I will look into the high GI's - I know I printed out a list of highs and lows sometime back.

So, one more time - 25 grams of high GI carbs, wo, then 20 grams of carb the rest of the day. My calories (10x bw) are those consumed AFTER the wo (right?). Or does that matter?

And on the day(s) you don't exercise it's lc as usual, right?

Thanks for the input! We'll be ready when Jalilah comes over from the dark side.
