Carb Cycling Diet

Carb cycling is a great way to lose weight, but you have to make sure you are also doing some intense workouts along with it.

What is carb cycling? Carb cycling is an alternating eating plan with both high-carb and low-carb days. On the days that you are eating a higher amount of carbs, make sure you are doing high-intensity training/exercises. You also want to make sure that the carbs you are consuming are high in glucose or complex carbs such as baked potatoes, yams, oatmeal, and brown rice. For low-carb days, try to get most of your protein from chicken, fish, lean beef, eggs, and veggies (non-starchy veggies). I would say to do 2 high-carb days and 3 low-carb days.

When carb cycling, make sure you do not eat any sort of bread or dairy products. By not eating these types of foods, it will help you burn fat even quicker. Majority of your carbs should be eaten early in the day.

I am going to try this diet out once my toe is completely healed. In the meantime, I’ll just have to work the elliptical and bike extra hard!

This plan may not be for everyone, so try it out and see how you like it!
