Since this is based off my breakdown Ill answer give my $.02

You can read why I based my carb rotation this way in my log, I recently bumped it explaining LOW CARB does NOT mean "no carb" ... I think WW will agree.

I like to load the day before a heavy workout, not the day of, also b/c I train early a.m. Now if I were doing PM training, like WW, I'd play it by ear & if I didn't 'feel' energized I'd:
- eat some complex carbs in the AM, afternoon and/or pre workout, or
- have a During workout Shake or
- take some pureCEE (pre workout) or
- take come Cardio Breeze late afternoon (not after 5)

If I chose the carbs... it would make it a Moderate/Medium Carb day. IF I did that, I would still ramp down & get the following two days low enough then refeed on Day 4 (I would've made this a HIGH refeed day).

Hope that helps more WW if you don't wanna eat more carbs, you can have other options.

Roony,
Yup, what she said. Hehehehe. This is based on Bunny's breakdown as well as the recommendation from the trainer I've used in the past. He cycles before he competes and even for him, low carb does not mean no carb. He never counts green veggies as carbs, he counts them as fiber. He always suggested to carb up the day before a heavy workout and the last time I did this, I found it worked for me. I need to try it for a week or to and see if I 'feel' energized or not. I like the ideas of a during work-out shake and also Cardio Breeze which I take around 4:30 for a 5 or 5:30 workout. If I want to cut weight off of me, esp my abs and legs, I need to stay this low carb. I'm 'sensitive' .... ha.

Now that's funny. I think I was 16 when I got my lil strawberry (dood pulld down pants a little too far) & then the clover (frontal shot for that one, not FULL though ) ... Those both HURT, needles scraping! Ugh. I want another one though, a big one but I don't have the she-bawls to do it. Yay for pics!

Thanks for explaining, WW. And please post up how this works for you. I'm definitely curious!

Right now, I load up ON my training days but I also work out at night for the most part. Unfortunately, I have to count my veggies as carbs, so I am feeling quite restricted on non-training days. I get to have 100g of complex carbs on training days and only 35g of complex carbs on non-training days, even though my overall carb counts look decent. But I do get two fruit servings a day and I'm slowly finding out what works to fill me up...so far an apple and a medium banana seem to do the trick.

You are absolutely correct - it's all about finding out what works for YOU!

ps - btw, my halloween costume still hasn't arrived. I'm getting impatient

I am testing out the AM workouts; it feels good when I do get there... Trying for 3x a week (mon,wed,fri).

35g is soooo low, how do you have the energy to lift? I don't know if I could do it, but if I did I know I would cut up more. We'll see how this works and I will post info on my energy levels, mood, etc.

What costume did you decide on... the referee?

Dinner was so so yummy last night. Red meat, mmmmm! Leftovers for lunch today. Forgot that I had pistachios and munched a few of those last night. Figure that bumps my cals and fat up a bit .... no more than approx. 1600 for the day though.

Yup, the referee or "hoooker" as Bunns called it I hope it gets here soon so I can see how it fits and how short/long it really is. I'm still not 100% if I'll be brave enough to wear it out. Did you get your Hooters outfit yet???

Yep, 35g is very low, but that is on non-training days when I don't lift. I did okay for 6 weeks on it but then started having a few late evening breakdowns with protein bars and such. It's the number given to me by the Cathy Savage nutrition program I'm using (based on my size, goals etc.), but I did ask if they could up it a little for next month. So we'll see what they say. On days that I lift, I get 100g and I think my body is so damn overjoyed that by the time evening rolls around, I seem to have enough power to get through my training. In all fairness, my strength has gone up & I'm looking more cut....sooooooo aside from discomfort and being cranky at times, I can't say it's not working.
