Try Ripped Fuel - these days you can get it relatively cheap - $16 for a 120-count jar. Throw in aspirin from the neighborhood drug store and you got pretty much real ECA stack.

0. That's me though - I'm capable of eating tuna and mayonnaise every friggin' day.

Yes. How much and how intense - depends on your endurance and conditioning. IMO, very low intensity cardio is simply not worth doing - just eat less and you'll get the same results. Intense cardio and interval training do wonders in terms of glycogen depletion but are extremely hard to do throughout the whole CKD cycle.

I suppose that may happen if you're eating carbs that require digestive enzymes to break down (such as breads, vegetables, etc.), because those enzymes downregulate in abscence of carbs. For best results on CKD, don't mix - if you're eating carbs, follow the rules such as avoiding fructose, keeping the fat to the minimum, etc.
