I might try that eventually. I'm doing a cyclic ketogenic diet right now. I would actually rather stay in a ketogenic state. With a TKD like you mentioned, you still end up doing a carb up every 5-6 days or so. But you don't really ever get into a ketogenic state. I will be back in ketosis sometime tomorrow. To me, that's a little better. So long as I can adjust my carb frequency so that I have optimum glycogen levels while being in ketosis, I won't change anything else. I'm hoping this extra carb day will do it. I don't mind the diet at all. I actually hate having to try to eat carbs during a carb up.

Haha I have been thinking about a TKD after every workout since I started. Today was really the first day that I was completely dragging after my workout since my last carb up. I planned for it though...I brought a shake with +100g of carbs and started drinking it midway through my workout. I feel like I can already judge when I'll be depleted at least one workout ahead of time.

Thanks for reading my journal. If I'm off in my explanation above, then let me know. That's just how I rationalized it. Let me know if you have any other ideas. Today was the first day I revamped my training, so there should be some definite changes in the upcoming weeks.
