After that, backload (eat as many carbs as possible: pizza, burgers, ice cream, etc) after lifting. It's recommended to to workout during the evening/late afternoon and start backloading during the next few hours. On off days or days when you do cardio, you go back to fat/protein days (30 gms of carbs.) If you workout in the morning, you backload on the night of your off day prior to your workout morning.

I have a slight increase in carbs on my heavy lifting days (twice a week usually) -- but I've found that while doing ketosis, it's better not to slip fully out of it by having a giant amount carbs. I end up feeling like crap during the process.
I've just gotten through the ketosis flu and I fear having lots of carbs sporadically will spring me back into that shitty state. I keep my carbs moderate, and just enough to keep me in ketosis most of the time.
