[teariki]

im on da keto diet of 5 day low carb 2 day high carb diet following the dr.piqesdale metabolic diet book.
Im confused on the 2 day carb up as it says in the book you would normally rest but , continue to work out on tha 2 days anyway, since i have heaps of carbs on those 2 days wouldnt that mean my body will starting using carbs as the primary energy and i would be converted back 2 the "normal" metabolism of burning carbs when i switch back 2 my 5 day high fat diet ???

Nope. Once you are fat adapted, you will continue to use fats for energy even during your carb ups and will utilize the glucose for glycogen replenishment. (This has been supported by a few studies.)
