hey guys,
could you help me with my diet- i am hypothyroid, so have trouble keeping the weight off.
for the last week i have been doing a high protein, low calorie, low carb, low fat diet- and the weight is falling off as i am very active-
the problem is that i ve been doing really well in the gym with a trainer, but now i am finding it really hard to get the energy to keep up with the training, as i am on like 30grams of carbs only a day.
can someone give me some advice on carb cycling.
what is more effective?:
1. targeted carb intake just before and after a work out (3 work outs a week)- and then low carb the rest of the time.
or
2. a massive carb up one of two meals a week, and then low carb the rest of the time.
in any event, i read that refeeding the muscles with carbs is important to make sure the muscles dont atrophy, and indeed dont get glucose resistant.
i am also concerned about calorie deficits.
i was wondering if someone could advise me about whether i should be doing a weekly refead, or a targeted pre work out reload, and in each case what sort of carbs should i be taking.
