I think more discipline is required for a TKD, actually. On a CKD, you have 2 days of carb up every week - which you can do disciplined (by going high GI, then low GI and adhering to precise protein/carb ratios) or, as many do, undisciplined (i.e. eat everything in sight until you start feeling the bloat). On a TKD, you don't eat carbs except for prior, during, or immediately after a workout, and then it's such a minor amount (25-75g) and selected from a narrow source (dextrose or glucose). Think about it: even if you work out 6 days a week on a TKD, your weekly carb intake will only be 450g - my first day of carb-up on a CKD would be somewhere between 700-900g!!
The biggest advantage to a TKD (and someone else said this, I can't claim it as my own bit of wisdom) is that on a TKD, you work the diet around your workouts. On a CKD, you really have to arrange your workouts around the diet.
