Hey guys, it's been about 4 days that i have started a carb cycling. I have to admitted it's a lot more easier than the bad cut i was doing. I am eating about 2550 kcal a day and i feel that i have more energy than the one i was doing at 2900 kcal. I am stronger, i started getting my weights up, i am pretty happy with it, but still the recovery seems to be more dramatic. It's take me longer to recover, but we need to understand that we don't have much energy to recover. I was thinking that if i go on a carb cycling my brain will have a hard time with the fact that he get almost no sugar in no carbs day and i will be craving for food with a lower amount of calories.
It's look like what i was thinking was not right, my brain is fully working and doing pretty well. Thus i am in university i was having a hard time getting concentrate in class, the carb cycling give more concentration. It's funny how well it's going, i should had done this earlier, but still the only inconvinient is the total of my grocery list seems to have risen a lot. I think it's a little disaventage to the road to a better body.

What is your typical carb consumption on each day of the week? I find that I can get by on fairly low carb days when I don't workout. I've also found that cycling total calories throughout the week seems to be almost as effective as cycling carbs to some extent as long as everything I'm eating is clean.

It's been a month now that on the diet. I went from 220 lbs to about 212 lbs without any cardio. I am always full eating fibers, proteins and water. You should try that, it's a good break plateau.
I am strong as the beginning of the cut, i am beggining to loose minimal strength but you should be expecting that.
I am hoping to reach my goal of a bf of 10% and 200 lbs.
