ive been reading up on carb cycling (twin peaks) it got me thinking if this cycling carbs idea really works im trying it myself and ill let you guys know how its going. im trying to get down to about 6% -8% bf ive been overweight my whole life and finally got down to 13-14% bf which is really good for me. i was about 29% bf before,= :1laugh: let me know if you guys have had success with this type of diet

mon- high carbs 60gr-70gr , 33 gr prot.
tues- low carb 50grams carbs only 4 meals have carbs
wed.- no carb
repeat over for thurs. fri.sat. and sunday

each meal has 33 grams of pro.
total 6 meals a day
2 meals a day can have dark meat
4 meals can only have white meat
each meal 1/2 fruit 50 cals worth

what do you guys think please let me know

i agree, carb cycling is a mind f**k for me. im more hungry on high carb days than low carb days...i wanna eat every carb in sight when my body gets a little taste.

i find that carb cycling works best for me as far as dieting.. on the days i have carbs,i have them post workout and thats all, about 60-80, no more, then on low carbs day, i try to eat none.. i go 3carb days, 1low..repeat, then on my 2nd carb day of the week, i have a huge cheat meal

i tried that for a month, and found i can get the same results with just my regular cuttin routine, which is carb ED, PWO and AM only, and cheat once a week. So IMO, i would rather keep my sanity....... but give it a try, it does work, just harder to do.
