Calorie/Carb Cycling?

As a fitness coach, I am constantly researching the best nutritional plans for fat/weight loss. Because nutrition is by far the most important piece of the fat/weight loss puzzle, I spend more time researching this than any other item. When I find something that I believe will help my clients acheive their goal, I actually test it on myself first. In doing so, I want to share with y'all the ultimate in a fat/weight loss nutrition plan. It is called calorie/carbohydrate cycling. The basic premise is decreasing and increasing caloric/carbohydrate intake to prevent metabolic shutdown based on the training program design. On days where the resistance training protocol is higher in intensity, calories should be higher and the intake of carbs should be higher as well. Don't be afraid of the carbs at this point. You need them after an intense training session. On days where there is little in the form of resistance training, calories should be set lower and carb levels should be set lower. The body doesn't need the influx of higher carbs. Proteins should remain fairly consistant each day and carbs and fats will fluctuate dependent on the fitness program. Let me tell you...this works!! I have tried many different nutrition programs for fat loss and this one takes the cake. I started the new year at 260 pounds (21% body fat) and to date I am 233 pounds (10% body fat). I never feel hungry as I am eating every 3 hours and feel fantastic!! My strength has actually gotten better since starting the program and my energy is through the roof. I have since had multiple clients that have started this program and had a great deal of success. I will share their stories as they progress and acheive their goal!

I look forward to being part of your fitness education and challenge you to reach farther, dream bigger, and believe in yourself.
