Getting Lean for summer: Carbohydrate Cycling (PART 3)

in #fitness7 years ago

Hello fellow steemians!

This is the final post of a chain of 3 posts, which will enumerate and go into some detail about the 3 most efficient weight loss methods, which aren't utilized enough.

In part 1 spoke about intermittent fasting, part 2 spoke about the ketogenic diet, where this will go into detail about Carbohydrate cycling.

This is the method the bodybuilding industry doesn't want you to know!

This is the first time making a video, I hope it does a good job covering the following:

  1. Personal experience with carbohydrate cycling
  2. A basic cycle split
  3. Why chose carb cycling? (advantages)
  4. Conditions which must be met to effectively carb cycle

I've also done my best to go into a bit more detail about the 'WHYs behind all that i have said.

The Split mentioned in the video:

Sunday-tuesday= Low-carb
Wednesday= Medium-carbs
Thursday-friday= Low-carb
Saturday= High-carb

Calculations for your caloric intake:

Men

High-carb days:
Carbohydrates- 2–3 g (x your body weight)
Protein- 1–1.25 g (x your body weight)
Fats- As little fat as possible

Low-carb day:
Carbohydrates- 0.5–1.5 g (x your bodyweight)
Protein- 1.25–1.5 g (x your bodyweight)
Fats- 0.15–0.35 g (x your bodyweight)

Women

High-carb day:
Carbohydrates- around 1g (x your bodyweight)
Protein- 0.75g (x your bodyweight)
Fats- As little as possible

Low-carb day:
Carbohydrates- 0.2–0.5g (x your bodyweight)
Protein- 1g (x your bodyweight)
Fats- 0.1–0.2g (x your bodyweight)

For the Medium-carb days, take an average of your Low, and High-carb days for each macro-nutrient.

BEST ONLINE CALCULATOR:

in my opinion the only calculator you need, gives you everything from amount of calories, the macronutrient split, and a basic diet plan. However, i highly suggest that you do a little experimentation in order to figure out what foods give you the best results, as these vary from individual to individual

One of the best posts I've seen here. Your video offers genuine, honest actionable information about carb cycling. Your effort shows. :)

Thanks for the post buddy ❤️

@doctor.fit nice piece of knowledge :)

Thanks buddy, I appreciate that. Stay tuned for more! ❤️

That's really true. Carb cycles are very important. Especially on rest days. People consider rest days as less important, but in fact rest days are as important as working days. Loved the article :)

I'ts good to see someone else who knows a thing or two about fitness! Thanks for the comment mate ❤️
