Carb Cycling- An Experiment Gone Right!

[DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703]

You know something I'm realizing with my own, as I look back at my logs, my fat content is WAY too high for the low carb days. I've got get that down considerably.

Just something for everyone else carb cycling to keep an eye on!

Thanks guys! You are so sweet and encouraging!

Today I got a little crazy and ate as follows:

1200 cals (don't know how i let that happen ... I try to stay closer to 1000 )

147g of carbs. Was tough (never thought i'd say that!) but I ate a clif bar for lunch which supplied me with 30g of carbs. I'm not a fan of clif bars because they're 270 calories/bar (!!!!!) but I figured it would be good to get more carbs in....

86g of Protein

Onwards to no-carb day!!!!

One thing I am finding is key, and Chris talks about it in the book and on Dr. Oz as well, is absolutely no carbs after 6pm/dinner.

Thankss!!!

How's it going for you??

No weight loss the last couple days, but I'm also very sure my low carb days had WAY too much fat. So, tomorrow I'll be doing low carb with less fat. It's a learning experience!

..I also started a new pack of birth control pills on Sunday, last week was my off week. If my weight stalls again because of the stupid pill, I'm calling my gyno to see if she can put me on something else.

Good point about the fat, I never really keep tabs on that. Thanks for the heads up!

How many grams of fat per day do you aim for?

Hope all goes well with your birth control!!

I think I messed up by having carbs at dinner. Oops! I only had 90 carbs today for my high day. Was so busy at work I didn't have time to eat everything in my lunch bag. There is always tomorrow!

I'm not aiming for fat grams as much as I am percentage. I looked back at my logs and I saw my percentage was a whopping 51% fat! That's WAY too much!!

I think I need to keep it to a maximum of like 35% for the low carb days. I'm going to give it a try and see if it's doable tomorrow.

Percentage of your daily calories, as in total calories for the day.
