Carb Cycling

[muscle99]

Who has used a carb cycling method to lose the last few percentage of bf ?

What was your results & conclusion of it?

How was your method structured? There seems to be a few out there like: rotating high carb, low carb, no carb & low carb x3 high carb x1.

What could you get away with on the high carb day?

I started back in June with awesome success. I started off by using the strict diet found here: http://scoobysworkshop.com/advanced-fat ... b-cycling/

Eventually I got sick of the straight oats, frozen veges etc and started to tailor the diet to my needs by within the same macros. Worked really well till once again I plateaued. I dropped 2 inches from around my waist (Ive had a hard time distinguishing whether I have been carrying excess skin or water these years in my jelly belly.. or just fat.. the rest of me is quite lean)

I've always had quite a large gut since a massive cut some years ago and this really helped drop some kgs quick. I think I started at 94.2 and went down to 90.2. That was a huge drop for me!!!

I was low carb m,t,w,f,sun and high carb thurs and sat. It made it difficult to lift and cardio but eventually adjusted. I was on sub 150 carbs on low carb day. I made thurs and sat my highest volume days for lifting.

However, I've had to step it up a notch and am now runnign the keto diet. Lost over a kg this week and half an inch around my waist I'm on sub 30 carbs now. man that's hard haha!

Apprpriate if you have six pack abs or have very strong willpower and don’t need cheat meals...well that rules me out then... :pfft:

Can someone please elaborate on the logic behind carb cycling?

If one is trying to boost fat loss by slowing insulin, why not just go ketogenic? Why cycle them?
