Well, although I'm not done yet I will be in about 4-5 more weeks hopefully and I'm curious how some of you get out without gaining weight back or something. I've heard that on Atkins and such that people gain their weigth back rapidly after eating carbs again, is this true? If so, how should I reintroduce carbs without getting any crazy reaction?
Should I do a carb up and then just never go back to ketosis? Should I just one day eat like I normally would (say 40/40/20) and keep it up until I'm back?
I just wanna get some advice on this so I know when the time comes, thanks!

I'd like to know as well.
I think people suggest slowly reintroducing carbs like 20g a day.

I'd add carbs at breakfast and pre/post workout to start with. Don't suddenly add loads of carbs and don't up your calories just yet.
At first you will add water weight but it will level off.
Don't eat carbs after 5 either (unless those are pre/post).

I go on and off keto all the time, and what i find works best is to just go straight back to normal diet without a carb up, make sure you dont eat refined carbs, keep everything wholegrain and if you stay within your caloric intake you wont gain anything. Sometimes i get some water weight, but if i drink plenty of water it goes away gradually.
The most important thing to keep in mind is the fundamental rule "calories in VS calories out", theoritically it dosnt matter what your diet split is.

I tend not to stay on a CKD diet for longer than a month or so, maybe 4 weeks keto, then one or two weeks 40/40/20. Reason i do this is that i feel it gives me better results by shaking things up.Originally Posted by jaim91
