Comment “CARBS” if you want a link with my full carb cycling YouTube video sent straight to your DMs!

PART 3 of my carb cycling series and today we are focusing on the importance of BALANCE! 

As a summary carb cycling is switching between low-carb and regular-carb days within your week to get the benefits of low-carb eating in a more sustainable way. 

I recommend for low-carb days my clients stick to 50g of NET carbs or less and on regular-carb days my clients stay within a range of 150-200g of carbs. 
(Net carbs = total carbs - fiber - sugar alcohols)

Now there isn’t one single way to carb cycle, you have to do what works best for you, your lifestyle, and your body! 

The only things that I truly recommend you to follow are: 

1. Pairing your low-carb days back to back because it takes your body some time to deplete your carb stores before it can get to your fat stores. 
2. Do not do more than 4 low-carb days a week to allow yourself to have balance in your diet and your life. 

If you are interested in carb cycling I encourage you to experiment with your low-carb and regular-carb ratio until you find what feels the best for you. 

Remember don’t go overboard and keep balance in your life! If you want anything to last and create long-term change you have to stay consistent, but most importantly find techniques that are sustainable and realistic to carry-on for a long period of time. 

The most important thing at the end of the day is how you feel!
