Has anyone here ever played around with carb cycling to drop body fat? Curious if you did high/low or high/moderate/low rotations.
Did you adjust your training (i.e train legs or bigger muscles on let's say Sat or Sun when on higher carbs) or did you just train your regular workout wherever the body parts may fall on that day of carbs?Absolutely! I used it for a while and dropped fat very easily. I did have to go up on the carbs in the lower carb day as I started gettign hypo. Chris Aceto is big on this diet.
Here are the basics as per Aceto:
When trying to gain mass
Protein and fat intake remains constant during the week. Only carbs fluctuate up and down. During high carb day are 2g/lb of body weight. During medium carb days, intake is lowered to 75% and low carb is lowered 25%.
When trying to lose fat
Protein and fat intake remains constant during the week. Only carbs fluctuate up and down. During high carb day are 1.5g/lb of body weight. During medium carb days, intake is lowered to 75% and low (er) carb is lowered 25%.
Example of a weekly cycle:
Monday – high carb
Tuesday – high carb
Wednesday – medium carb
Thursday – medium carb
Friday – medium carb
Saturday – low (er) carb
Sunday – low (er) carb
