check that out

Great article. I'm gonna give this a shot. I always wanted to try carb cycling but haven't found much material on it (not that I looked that hard).

Anyone else read it?

I understand what the author is saying regarding macro timing on workout days. But not sure what should be done on non-workout days. How would the carbs and fats be divided for each meal? Anyone have any ideas?

I am guessing in the AM to replace glycogen ? Not 100% sure, but good question.

i read it also and have already started doing it today. i put together a diet plan. some of it is really nuts though. for my high carb day i have to eat 3.5cups of rice in my ppwo meal. also in my pwo shake i need a full cup of dextrose. ill stick with it and see how it goes for awhile, personally after just eating my pwo and ppwo meal i feel like i have a ton of energy and am super pumped. no more carbs for the rest of the day though

also i was looking into the pro/fat meals and it says to just have flax or fish oil. i did the math for my size and i need 43g of fat 3x a day. this comes out to 3 tbsp of oil per meal. does 9 tbsp of oil seem like a lot to anyone else? also i dont have fish oil but i do have olive oil, would that be an acceptable substitute?

Carb Cycling works...You have to utilize it at times to maintain a lower bodyfat and powerlift...

olive oils are omega 6 from what i understand. I do not see why not as long as you get some omega 3 in you .

Believe it or not I actually first heard about it over at elite while reading over he logs. I know Justin Harris believes in the diet.

we should start a log for all 3 of us to comment in since we are all going to try this carb cycling diet. that would prolly be very beneficial for many people.
