Thoughts on Skiploading?

[Ribs]

I’ve been reading up on this for a few days now. Skiploading and it’s benefits for fat loss. Basically Ken Hill “Skip”, has this protocol where you deplete yourself on a moderate to low carb diet for 6 days, then carb up on low-fat/high GI carbs for a window of time on the 7th day. (More lean, longer window, depending on how you respond to previous skiploads) Not counting calories ingested, just going until hunger goes away. I feel that could be detrimental to a cut, cals in vs. cals out. Majority of people say it works, and use it on prep. Here’s a link to the protocol/more info on the subject, it’s a good read.

Figured I’d ask experiences and thoughts on the protocol.

Isnt that like ckd or tkd? Carb up once a week? Same thing. Doesnt seem groundbreaking.

Yea essentially, but instead of having set macros that day, you eat until your full. For me that’d be like 8-10k calories, on a good day haha. I know with ckd and the traditional carb-up, you have a set number you shoot for to maintain the constant deficit. I’ve read up a lot and people majority of the time have progressively lost weight. Seems off just because I know cals in vs cals out. Also note they aren’t doing drastic deficits either throughout the week. So kind of interesting to say the least.
