I. Carb Cycling
Why Low Carb?
Low carb is defined as a diet that contains 30% or less of carbohydrates. If you are trying to lose weight, eating a low carb diet will make a calorie restriction much more achievable because you will have more stable blood sugar levels and reduced hunger.
The main drawback of eating low carb on a permanent basis is fatigue, brain fog, and the inevitable carb cravings. The solution to this is a carb cycling method.
What kinds of carbs should you eat?
Good sources of carbs are starches, such as whole wheat grain, oatmeal, brown rice, rye, barley, beans, potatoes, and yams. These are all complex carbohydrates, which are digested slowly and do not cause your insulin levels to spike or fluctuate too much. Also fruits and vegetables count as carbs.
Foods Not to Eat
Any carbs are acceptable for your carb meals
You may drink alcohol during one of your carb meals
You must keep fats as low as possible
Eat about 100 grams of carbs per day.
