ive read some people are carbs cycling using keto,Im sure some people carb cycle differently,The wife is in solid keto,on a blood meter between 2.4 and 3.6 depending on time of workout for the day.fasting 16 hrs everyday. alot of keto dieters are using weekends to cycle in carbs for making the diet easy,but im talking about using carbs more often before a workout to restore glycogen stores for muscle growth and burning the majority of the carbs in the workout and staying in keto. I havnt read much about what others do on other diets with carb cycling so im sure the specifics on macros are not the same. its difficult to find the specifics on it with keto. From what ive read most of the women here are using standard carb macros and not using keto.

You won't find specifics because carb cycling and keto are two completely different things, and can't be combined.

Did you have a question or seeking input? I'm not clear. I carb cycle and am playing with my diet now and giving backloading (carbs) a try. I have zero interest in a cheese and butter diet. Carbs are life. 
Thanks for your reply in other thread. Just wanted to see if any of the women are using keto or carb cycling. I'll post sim here. I've not seen women in other forums often.
Give me some details on your backloading carbs. I'll copy the post from other thread here on what she is doing with keto. It's a lotDid you have a question or seeking input? I'm not clear.

I'm using a nova max blood meter to monitor her. She is always above 1.0 mmol and most times around 2.0 some times as high as 4.6 in morning before workouts. She's eating 88 grams protein 18 grams carbs 110 grams fat or 1450 cal for 6 months. It doessnt remove fat from her nearly as fast as I've seen from others. But it's for sure consumed about 3/4 of the fat she needs to lose.just taking forever. She went from 23% bf to 19% but the last bit below belly button won't go. There are some other health benifeits for keto for her lower bp mental clarity better lipids. She doesn't mind the diet. Cheese butter chicken alvacodos spinach chives eggs steak salmon tuna shrimp are what she lives on. Now that she is on hrt t pellets and var...possibly dbol errrrrr. She is putting on more lean mass and hard to tell how many pounds fat have been lost. So I can't argue cycling carbs with keto well because I don't know specifics yet But I have deff read that cycling in some carbs well above 20 grams a Day to replenish glycogen stores in muscles if done at the right time before a hit workout will burn the carbs before they get into the kidneys and knock you out.ill see if I can find the link and post it. I can'tremember grams of carbs that workbest. I remember it being consumed a half hour before workout. Doing 1 hr workouts 6 days week and fasted cardio 25 min but not often enough. Prolly the missing link. She rather lift than cardio. She needs more energy for workouts and more protein intake than what she is using now to make use of the t and var advanced protein synthesis. The c4 isn't enough go power. bcaa helps but isn'treal food. Hoping to run into someone who has tried this with success
I meant to say liver above and not get knocked out of keto. Here is the link on carb cycling keto. I wish this guy was still on that forum. He really knew his stuff with diet and nutrition
. Liver glycogen is pretty stable with a max of 60-90g of glucose stored
For muscle, it's 14g/kg of muscle mass.
Take someone who is 200lbs with 10% body fat. It would be the normal assumption to say that this individual has 20lbs of body fat and 180lbs of lean body mass and equate this amount of body mass to the amount of muscle we have. This is a mistake. Muscle mass accounts for roughly 40% of our lean mass (the rest being water, bones, skeleton, organs).
In reality this individal would have around 72lbs of muscle mass, or around 33kg.
33kg x 14g/kg = 462g of carbs that can be stored.
In general, the average size male lifter will be able to store anywhere from 350 to 500g of carbs as glycogen.
100 Grams of easily digested liquid carbs along with around half as many grams of carbs in protein (here 50) as a whey shake or something of that nature should be taken right after the last workout when insulin sensitivity will be at its greatest and GLUT4 receptors mobilized.
A few hours later start to spread the remaining 500 grams or so (accounting for say 90g in the liver, plus muscle) of carbs, along with at least 1g per lb of muscle protein during the remainder of the compensation period.
As far as fat, during the first 24-30 hours of carbing up, the body will use all dietary carbohydrates to refill glycogen, protein for rebuilding, and fat for energy still.
Just like the previous five and a half days. However, you can’t just eat all the fat you want. Keep grams of fat intake to half your lean mass weight in lbs.. The above example will keep his fat below 90g (180 lbs lean mass) during the carb-fest.
This should keep fat regain minimal to nil. Keeping fat intake extremely low can even cause some extra fat burning during the carb up.
Some dietary fat should be eaten to slow digestion and keep sugar levels stable. Whether it be saturated, unsaturated, or essential fats, is your decision. All have nine calories per gram. Although essential fatty acids such as flax seed oil increase insulin sensitivity within the muscle cells, in turn, increasing glycogen intake.
You can spread this out over 24-36 hours. I'm currently doing the 14 day version in the sticky above, for the simple reason that you are in ketosis more of the time. I actually go to no-carb on day one which in the plan as outlined calls for moderate carbs. The way I've been doing it, my carb intake stops around noon of day 14.
