    Background:  I've been bouncing around between doing CBL and Carb Nite, and before that was eating about 30-50g of carbs daily for a few months with no exception.  This is my sixth day of the Carb Nite prep phase before launching into Carb Nite exclusively for a few months.  Do you all think it is necessary to go the other four given my background or would, say…eating two pounds of ice cream tonight be okay?Thanks,Adam

    I kinda disagree with the others.  If you were 30-50g carbs before bouncing between CNS/CBL you are likely pretty well fat adapted.  I think the only reason I would do the full 10 days is if you been over doing it on CBL for a long time.  Have you?  Personally I  have been doing a sort of CNS/CBL hybrid with 3 to 4 days ULC per week.  I think I over did my last two back loads and got my heaviest last week and decided to take a week off and re-do the 'prep phase' which for me is only going to be 6 days.  I'm back down to my pre-CBL weight and the keto brain fog has past and will start back-loading again tonight.  🙂

    Yeah I mean I'm incredibly well fat adapted, but I think doing the program as written the first time around is best, if only for feedback to Kiefer/data collection purposes.  (Truth be told, though, I totally went out and did an extra training session to backload the day I posted that, so back to square one with the 10 day prep phase haha.)-Adam
