So, what’s the moral of the story? CARBS AREN’T BAD!!
It’s all about what type of carbs and how much! Enter…carb cycling!
Carbs are one of the three main macronutrients, along with protein and fat. When they are digested, they break down into glucose which is how your body gets fuel. Eliminating carbs can make you feel weak, increase hunger, cause constipation, and decrease mental clarity. No, thanks!
What Is Carb Cycling?
Carb cycling isn’t eating a loaf of bread on a bike! It’s a strategy that helps maintain muscle mass and shed fat. It also helps bust through weight loss plateaus. And, let’s face it, who doesn’t want to shed fat and break through a plateau while enjoying yummy carbs?! Carb cycling involves planned increases and decreases in carbohydrate intake depending on several factors. Essentially, it mixes higher carbohydrate days with lower carbohydrate days with the goal of achieving fat loss and optimizing health! Let’s hear it for carbs!!
The Science Behind Carb Cycling
Eating the right amount of carbs at the right times resets your metabolism to signal your body to produce hormones – such as thyroid and leptin – which keep you at a healthy weight. Your body is encouraged to alternate between using up its stored carbohydrates (carb repletion) to use stored fat for fuel and then putting carbs to work (carb repletion) for positive hormonal and muscle building effects. The best of both worlds!
