    I understand that you can go into ketosis after the 10 day ULC phase, but once you start CBL, won't eating upwards of >200g of HI GI carbs knock you out of ketosis. Kiefer says that every morning you awake in a ketogenic state, but for ketosis to occur don't you liver glycogen stores have to be empty? And they wouldn't be empty assuming you followed a CBL protocol and ate a ton of carbs to replenish your carb stores and have enough to last you all the way through your low carb off/rest day and your next day's exercise. Doesn't seem to make sense to me. If the carbs you're eating are for the next days workout then on your off day, you're effectively burning glucose and fat, not just fat as you would be in a ketogenic state. Someone clear this up for me.

    First ketosis is not a state we are looking to be in, but rather ketogenesis.  Once/if ketosis is reached, insulin levels rise and the body dumps its ketones from it's systems. Yes eating GI carbs knock you out of a ketogenic state but every time you awaken you're in ketogenesis. Ketogenesis is dependant on insulin levels ie the absense of insulin. Your carb stores don't matter as far as what state you'll be in. It's explained in the book ^^;
