The basic BFL program is really pretty cool. The one day free day when combined with lo-carb is essentially CKD. IMO it doesn't need to get more complicated than that for many of us.
I know there's a lot of concern about keeping the fat low, use glucocse sources and no fruit, eat exactly a certain number of grams, etc.
Right now I'm following the CKD chart for carb-up but not worrying about it for the lc days, as I've finally grooved into eating lc properly during the week. The PP guys don't worry about ketosis, so I don't either. I've never gotten more than a trace of indication on ketostix, so I ignore them.
I'm just starting to try out the per workout 20g carb bump hypothesis.
Someday I hope to be free of all the fretting about the details. For me, this is a negative characteristic of a lifetime of crazy diets. I put an incredible amount of attention on what/when and why I'm eating.
Anyway, if you decide to try a carbo-load as Lyle says I'm very interested in what happens.
