basically im thinking then a limited ckd would be better than the tkd for me as i am effected by carbs a lot... so i guess one spike would be better than spikes virtually every day eh?

Seems like a CKD with a shorter carb load like you mentioned would be a great idea. Also every weekend you could experiment with the length of the carb load to find what works best for you. Ive tried an 18 hour carb load and it worked great for me......
It also takes me until Wednesday to hit ketosis, I wouldnt worry about that too much.
Another option is to change the frequency of your carb up. If your schedule allows maybe carb load ever 10 days for example instead of every week.
The best thing about this plan is the flexibility, you can try new things every week to find what works best for you. Maybe give both of these ideas a shot..........
One more thing, how many carbs did you take in during your 24 hour load?
