Carb cycling

[Ifrit]

Ok for you diet pro's out there how do you do this to optimize fat loss and minimize muscle loss? I am new to carb cycling but on workout days I am getting 200grams of carbs and 2,000 calories and 200 grams protein. On nonworkout days I am getting 2,000 calories 100 carbs and 260 grams protein. I eat more fat on the low carb days. Let's here it.

100g carbs is pretty low already, but you can do either one of two things.

Cycle carbs like CKD, by running 20g for a week or so and having a re-feed or carb load one day of the week with any kind of carbs you like. I ran a vesion of this where I was 50g or less during the week and I just had a cheat day, pizza/ice cream whatever, but I would avoid binging (I was bad with that). Pick one, not two or more - if you are going from 2k calories to like 4000 in my example.

Next is, dont carb up at all. Stay 40-75g carbs all the time. Seriously bro the strict dieters I know of eat more than 2k calories and are doing 75g daily (male not female), so really for only 2k calories you aren't very low at all if you are looking at doing keto.

I would have oatmeal for breakfast and no other carbs during the day other than post-workout (which doesn't count if you do 25 or less and use fast acting).

There are a billion ways to diet though.

you can check out www-c-k-d.com

but Mudge is right there are alot of ways to do this ..

i think ckd is the best choice out there...

just remember you are going to feel very very shitty when you first start ..it goes away or

this is what i do....slowly drop the carbs from 120 to 20 grams and once i get to 20 grams that when i start the ckd program
