RE: Life is a Highway - Motivation Monday - The Keto Cut Day 7

in #fitness7 years ago

Yeah flying right through it, the days are passing really fast, but I've got a small vacation planned in the near-future, so I've got to get into tip-top shape before then!

Yes, carb cycling! There's a couple different ways of going about that. I'm on a cyclical ketogenic diet - which basically means that I just eat a strict keto diet for 10-14 days in a row and then have a "carb-up" day and eat a ton of carbs for 1 day and then immediately go back to the strict keto regime.

There's a few other methods for carb cycling, one is called "carb-backloading" which is something I've also tried in the past. It's where you eat a strict keto diet during the day, work out at night and then have 1-2 huge meals post-workout that are heavy in carbs (thus the name - backloading your carbs after your workout).

Ahh thanks for reminding me! I did see that briefly pop up but hadn't read it yet, I'll bookmark it and read it tonight!

See you around as well, let me know if you have any questions about the carb cycling, I'd be glad to answer them! I'll also try to add some more details to these posts as my first cycle closes in! 🚀

Sort:  

man that would be tough, I feel like that one 'high' carb day would just make me crave more on that 10-14 day span of strict keto.

Yeah, backloading sounds like a method good for trying to 'beef' up and really back on some nice muscle gains.

Keep up the solid work on that regime, you won't regret it when you're on vacation my man!
have fun, safe travels & steem on khaleel
