12. The CKD Has More Dietary Flexibility
The CKD allows 1-2 “cheat days” per week where higher carb foods can be enjoyed without disrupting ketosis too much. This makes the diet more sustainable and flexible.
Having the occasional cheat day satisfies cravings for carbs and gives you mental reprieve from very strict keto eating. Knowing a carb replenishment is coming allows you to adhere to the ketogenic days more strictly.
And consuming junk food is not necessary on high carb days – you can indulge in nutritious whole food sources to refuel. The scheduled, strategic carb loading helps prevent falling off track from the diet altogether.
