Carb Cycling
I'm posting an outline of carb cycling, which can be used to build mass and/or lose fat. This is from over at Avant Labs by Twin Peak. I haven't done this type of diet [carb cycling] yet, but I aim to do something like this in-between my UD2.0 diet/training protocol found in the journal section. This carb cycling looks way easier than what I'm doing now.
I basically just cut and pasted the general overview. If you want specifics, then follow the Part: 1 link. ;) Quote:

Thanks very much, 0311.
|
Do you plan on adhering to that list, 0311?
|
I'm not sure. I still haven't consulted the Carb Gods yet. I just happened upon this in some of his past posts in another forum altogether. Anyways, I might do something like this or more likely keep the UD2.0, but do the mass building workout cycling instead. It's more about hitting maintenence calories and different workouts compared to the cutting cycle I'm on now.

Here's another link to carb cycling, although not as good IMO...

An example of a 200 pound dieter.
No Carb Day = about 300 grams protein, 20 grams carbs, 50 grams fat = 1730 (many will probably eat less). Low Carb Day = 200 grams protein, 200 grams carbs, 40 grams fat = 1960 High Carb Day = 200 grams protein, 600 grams carbs, 40 grams fat = 3560 (some will eat less, some more, this day is highly dependant on the individual) No = 8.7 kcals per pound of BW Low = 9.8 kcals per pound of BW High = 17.8 kcals per pound of BW Average is 12.1 kcals per pound. |
The Bulk Cycle
I'm bored so I made a bulker using the 5x5 workout with carb cycling. Here's what I went off of: Quote:
2- OFF- LOW CARB 3- 5X5- HIGH CARB 4- OFF- LOW CARB 5- 5X5- HIGH CARB 6- OFF- NO CARB (CARDIO) 7- OFF- LOW CARB Anyways, that's the format I'm going to use whenever I'm done cutting. It's pretty common sense. When you're not burning calories, you don't overload the carbs. Wow. For cutting, here's the example from Twin Peak: Quote:

Hey was looking around the house and spotted figs. Could I eat figs on a high carb day? 3figs= 29grams carbs, 0 protien, and 0 fat. I think this should of made that carb list above.

They seem to be basically picking carbs that have a medium to low glycemic rating. Dried figs come in at around 60 or 61. That's still in the medium range but a little higher than most of the carbs listed. I'd say fine in moderation. I couldn't find anything for fresh figs, but I'd venture to say they are a little lower.
But, for that matter, apples come in at 38, which is pretty low. So maybe someone with more knowledge about these kinds of diets can give you a more certain answer. I'd eat the figs. |
it is a little high. just eat the figs in moderation.
