Carb Cycling Made Easy

If you didn't understand the previous post on how to carb cycle, the easiest and more simpler way of carb cycling is this: 

Day 1-3 

Supplement your diet with a protein smoothie for breakfast. Many people are indulging in herbalife shakes but any one that has low fat and 0-3 carbs and 20 grams or more of protein will suffice. 

For lunch, opt for meat and a green vegetable. Greens don't count as carbs because they are usually low to 0 in carbs and fat.

For snack, opt for another source of meat or a protein shake. Make sure to have 2 to 3 "snacks" a day.

For dinner, same as lunch.

Still not feeling full or satisfied? Have a protein shake or protein source before bed. 

This should put you at the 5-7 meals per day margin.

Day 3: Add a low glycemic carb to each meal. See the list below. 

Day 4-7: Same as Day 1-3

As far as food choices, for proteins use lean proteins such as chicken and egg whites. Also, feel free to include proteins rich in essential fats such as wild atlantic salmon. 

For fats, on meals where you are including proteins that contain essential fats, you don't need to add any. On meals with lean proteins like chicken, egg whites, or protein powder then you need to add fats in the form of flax seed oil or capsules like EFA Lean. 

Finally, for carbohydrates, since our main goal is fat loss, only include low glycemic index carbs such as oatmeal, brown rice, sweet potatoes and, of course, green vegetables like broccoli and green beans.
