I also include a small piece of fruit with the carb meals like Pinnacle says in his post. I thought fruits are a big NO during cutting diets.. But he is a hall of famer in here not me ..

Any comment is welcome..

Good luck bro.. Ill be interested to see how it goes for u..

Looks like you have a plan set out- good luck and record how you feel and how your body reacts. 1 thing to keep in mind with the cycling is what workout you do on what day. For example, if you were going to do a leg workout then cardio the morning after your low carb day into no carb day you will be dragging. Try to time it so it doesnt always fall like that on the same bodypart, or if you have a lagging muscle group you would probably want to time it to do that bodypart around high carb days.

The diet looks petty good, especially for carb sensitive guys like me.

What i have in mind is to train legs and back the day after high carb days.. As i mentioned i lift weights in the morning so if i would lift on the high carbs days i would only have a carb meal ( breakfast ) which isn't enough..

I will let know my friend how it's going for me and you might give it a try..

Personally, what worked very well for me was a different flavor of carb cycling. had 3 consecutive moderate carb days where adding/maintaining LBM was the focus, followed by 3 consecutive low carb days (no starchy carbs, fibrous veggies only) - during these 3 days, depletive workouts were the focus. The 7th day was a high carb day to bring glycogen stores back up.

I was able to drop from about 15% to ~10% in 3 months with increases in almost all lifts. Try your proposed plan and see how it works for you, but realize there are many ways to 'skin a cat'.

Thank you very much gb for sharing your expierence.. As you said there are many ways to use this method.. I will stay with my plan and see how it's going.. Can you please give me your thought on my food choices and my daily caloric intake based on my stats?
