hi,

soon i will have reached my goal (5% bf at about 200lb) and i am going to dominican republic for 2 weeks in august.


-Damn, I'm friggin' jealous.

Quote:
for this two reasons i think i`ll switch to an isocaloric / zone-diet for lets say 4-6 weeks before going back to ckd.


-Sounds like a good idea.

Quote:
has someone else everdone this?


-I'm sure 'someone' has.

Quote:
how can i stay lean with all this carbs?


-Slowly introduce them into your diet. Taking in 20-30 grams of complex, low glycemic carbohydrates each day- until you work your way up to the desired amount.

Quote:
what is a good caloric setpoint for maintaining? somethinng like 2800 kcals i thought?


-Maintenance level of caloric intake is your bodyweight x 15. So, for you, that comes out to 3000 calories.

Quote:
does it matter what kinda carbs i consume?


-Yes, once again, take in low glycemic carbohydrates (starches, vegetables, etc.).

Quote:
should i carb up the day before i go isocaloric? think no, or?


-I don't think that a 'carb-up' would be necessary, even though it's a lot of fun.

Quote:
lots of q. i know but any help will be greatly appeciated.


-Hope this helps.
