high glucos, low fat, gluten free foods to start a CN?

You could always do back to back sessions of carb nite, just make sure your insulin level spikes for both of those days. Most of us gets symptoms for the amount of carbs we eat, like our body starts to feel warm or sweating might occur. But you claim you don't feel those from your other posts on here. So if I were you, just make sure your mornings are fatty and your nights are carby before you go to bed.If this doesn't work for you, then you can always revert. No one is saying "don't do this or don't do that" when it comes to tweaking a diet that works for you. Tweaking is always recommended. What we do say whenever you tweak is.. "be cautious" or "be wary" of certain factors.In fact, Keifer mentioned of how he tweaked some dude's diet, he does not recommend doing it for anyone else because of the goals involved, he started out at 202 lbs, did carb backloading.. with no limitations on carbs, went up to 286 - gained muscle and fat.. switched to carb nite, and went done to 245lbs. 40lbs of muscle in a year. So yeah, depending on your lifestyle, goals, body composition, tweaking and experimentations are necessities.

I believe it, I have no problems at all bulking up and putting muscle on. It's the shedding fat parts that is hard for me.

yep, me tooI did a high fat, lower protein diet before this and gained weight daily. CNS is working for me. I lose points of pounds or a whole pound a day. I am very pleased with the program and am not going to change much right now...This week I'll do a CN on the 8th day instead of the 7th based on a vacation this weekend. That shouldn't change much, but it will be a bit longer

It's easy to make a gluten-free, high carb CN food.  Search on “Almond Flour Cake” and you will find a lot of recipes for easy-to-make cake using nut meal (aka nut flour).  Instead of almond meal, I used cashew meal (new at Trader Joe's market) to make a chocolate cake, a single 8″ layer.  Cut into 8 pieces, one piece holds 390 calories, 21 grams fat, 42 grams carb, and 10 grams protein….no, not particularly low fat, but not unacceptably high, either.

Why are you using almond flour during a CN?

I have yet to find a tasty GF flour mix.  At least Almond flour tastes great.  Aside from this, I think one of the overlooked foods for starting CN is tapioca.  I use 150g carbs worth of homemade tapioca pudding to start mot large backloads.  The GI is off the charts
