LOL Nat.

The Coke wouldn't have been worth it as a cheat. It was Cherry, too. It was kind of weird, really. I was fully aware that I wasn't craving it, didn't particularly want it, etc. It was for medicinal purposes only, honest.

The Friday CKD instructions say to start the carb-up with some fruit or high-GI carbs before the last workout of the week. Coke seemed to fit the bill. It was about 30-35 carbs before and 10 after. If I drop my carb-up day, I might try this as a strategy - the TKD instead of the CKD. Supposedly, you don't even leave ketosis, and if you do, it's only for an hour or so. It may also be more anabolic than the CKD (which, of course, isn't *supposed* to be anabolic at all).

As for insulin spikes, Zeus pops a roll of Sweet Tarts before each of his work-outs. **shudder**

Cheers,

Friday
