Carbohydrate Cycling; Fix for Fat Loss Plateau?
I have been on a diet aimed at creating insulin sensitivity in attempt to promote fat loss for 6-8 weeks now. I have lost 15+lbs of fat (from 208 down to 193). My BF % has gone from 16% down to 10%, though now I have been stuck for a few weeks. That is where I feel Carb Cycling is going to help.
From what I have read, Carb Cycling uses the same principles as creatin insulin sensitivity during low card days during the cycle, but adds in high carb days every 3-4 days during the cycle. This is supposed to promote a very high metabolic rate and break plateauing.
Anyone have any success with this?
