I have been on Atkins for 4 months with good initial results. However, a major stall and lack of energy has me considering CKD. I would rather have a couple of days a week feeling great than being depleted every day on Atkins. Hunger I can handle. Lethargy I cannot.

So, given that I might try it, I have an exercise schedule question. Trainerdan's exercise program looks good but I have the following time limitations:

- Wednesday and Friday morning's are reserved for 90 minute swim squad.
- Friday evenings I usually leave town for the weekend.
- In general I would prefer not to do evenings due to other committments but it is possible some days.
- Mornings are great for me.

With these limitations, can someone suggest a schedule of weights and aerobic exercise that would still make CKD effective?

I just did my first CKD last weekend. I gained 4 pounds and have lost 3.4 as of this morning. I have read Body Opus and am starting to really believe in the CKD. I am feeling much better after the carb up. I did have a dizzy spell on the first dose of glucose. Doing a carb up after a depletion workout will work on any schedule. I suggest reading Body Opus for a more scientific look into CKD. What makes CKD work is Depletion workout, then controlled carb up for 36 to 48 hours. Then deplete again. It doesn't matter what schedule you work out on as long as you do a depletion workout prior to the carb up.

I agree with Jag, but would add that heavy training (relatively speaking) at the initial part of your ketogenic phase would be beneficial in getting you into ketosis quicker.
