The more I read about Carb Cycling the more confusing it is! There are way too many schools of thought on this topic.
I have decided that I have to select a program that works for me and my needs. For one, I HATE Seafood so I am going to have to take the fish oil pills. Number two, I can only eat 5 times a day due to my heavy workload so that is a factor as well.
Number three....I really don't like a lot of foods so I have to kind of eat the same things over and over. That's not really a problem but It does kind of make it more of a challenge to want to eat five times a day! I think I will find myself taking in a lot of protein via Protein shakes. I am looking for the highest quality ones with BCAA's and very low carbs. So far I really like Jay Robb's (highly recommended and approved by Jorge Cruise!) but I am always on the look out for something even better. I like to mix the shakes with Clemmy's Vanilla Bean ice cream but it's a tad high in calories! Plus the Xylitol doesn't always agree with my stomach...some days it's ok but others not so good...lol!
Anyways, I am easing myself into the cycling and STILL doing more research to come up with the perfect program for myself. This will be geared towards me and may not work well for everyone but I will share my plan with anyone who is interested!
I want to stay within my normal Daily Caloric needs on low carb days....maybe kick them up 300+ calories on High carb days and drop them to the minimum on No carb days. Every day I should take in AT LEAST 140 grams of protein but I think even that can be bumped up on a No carb / Low Carb day.
I am thinking I should be ready to start with a strict program on Monday so I am setting that as my start date!
