What is carb cycling?

Carb Cycling is a dietary approach that can help you achieve your goals without the outright discrimination against low-carb diets.

Carb Cycling Basics:

Every day of the week on your plan is as high, medium or low carb day, your planned levels of activity are accordingly determined. Consume on high carb days about 2 to 2.5 grams of carbohydrates per pound of body weight .Consume on medium-carb days 1 to 1.5 grams of carbohydrates per pound of bodyweight. And on low-carb days aspire only 30-50 grams of carbs for the whole day. During the days that you are running high-intensity strength training or cardio, you should eat a high level of carbohydrates. Consume on days that you will perform additional strength-training (training smaller muscle groups such as arms, calves, abs) or moderate aerobic exercise a moderate amount of carbohydrates. Finally, you consume a low-carb diet on days that you only perform low-intensity cardio or no training.

Food choices:

All carbohydrates are not created equal. Nothing consumes but refined (white) flour, carbohydrates are to gain fat lead faster than meet your daily limit for the carbs with nothing but fruit and vegetables - so before you change the number of carbohydrates you consume while on the plan first change the type of carbohydrates that you consume. Ideal carbs sources are fruits and vegetables - these are the elements that are likely to lead to at least an undesirable weight gain. Following this natural Carbs sources such as sweet potatoes, oats and whole grains provide a balance between healthy and unhealthy carbohydrates. Finally, at the bottom of the pit, coming processed foods, refined flour and sugar - avoid these elements.

How to Carb Cycle?

Let me explain it, first take the Low Carb Day and an example of a male athlete who weighs 100 kilos. Normally you would consume 2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight calculated. On low carb days there are 3 grams, i.e. 50% more. In women it is 20% more. Men take in fats 80% of body weight in grams and in women it is 50%. So the 100 kilos athlete consumed 80 grams of hopefully the healthy fats. During low carb days consume at least 90 grams for a 100 kilo athlete and in women 60 grams.
The exact opposite is the high carb days under the Carb Cycling. To get to the corresponding amounts of pasta, potatoes and tender fillets, multiply men their body weight with 1.7, women with 1.4. And then proceed in the same as shown above. The amounts of fat are reduced at the high carb diet. Take back the 100 kilos of athletes, then the 60 grams of fat in men and 30 grams in women at high carb days. It is very important at high carb days to eat the pasta and breads. The fats you take prefer to make your tender turkey fillet palatable.
