Thanks Bunny!!
Ok, so.... I'm planning on switching the diet up soon to speed things up a bit. I've been eating clean on a 50/30/20 plan for about six weeks, and I want to start cycling my carbs. Here's my plan for the carb cycling:
Day 1: 100g carbs (medium)
Day 2: 100g carbs (medium
Day 3: 100g carbs (medium)
Day 4: no carbs
Day 5: no carbs
This only includes complex carbs...I won't count fibrous veggies. I'm going to keep my cals up to at least 1400. On the no carb days, I'll replace the lost carb cals w/ fats and see how this works for me. I might also cycle the cals later.
This seems like the most simple plan for me to start with.
I am also thinking about doing a carb depletion before I start the cycling. I guess I would cut out all complex carbs for about 5 days, and then maybe do a carb up for two days. My point of this would be to kind of establish a baseline for myself. I'm thinking about doing a competition, so this would kind of let me know where I'm at. I also thought it would be a good jumpstart to the new diet.
I want to start this carb deplete on Monday, then start the carb cycling the following Monday.
Do you ladies have any thoughts on all this? Have any of you ever done a carb deplete in the middle of your diet? Thoughts? Ideas?
Thanks
Oh yes... big thanks to Sassy for all her informative posts on carb cycling
