Carb up days?

[Golden_Muscle]

Do I need carb up days when cutting? Some guy told me he carbs up on the weekend. Is it necessary?

Don't know about carb up......but I always have a good cheat meal once a week.

Not 100% necessary, depends on how strict your diet is. Its a good idea to reward yourself but also to keep your metabolism high. If you stick to a hypocaloric diet for so long y our metabolism soon adjusts to a lack of cals and slows down, so a cheta meal keeps its pace even kill.

I prfer carb cycling as well. feelnfit's method works well and I have alsodone 3 days low carb, 50-60g carbs, with 1 day mod-high to shock my body and replinish gylcogen stores/energy levels.

You stand a much better chance of more shitty workouts as well as losing muscle and strength if you don't EVER carb-up during extended dieting.
