Taking Control
Finally decided to start this. Hopefully it will help me gain some 'better' control, which seems to have gone down hill these last few weeks. (And a weekend of 2 thanksgiving dinners!)
 Im trying TP's 3 day carb cycle, gonna start with a low day, the cycle low, high, no as suggested by TP. Any input would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!  MEAL 1- 1 1/2 scoops protein, 2 TBS heavy cream, 3 fish oil MEAL 2- 1/2 scoop protein, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 eggwhite, 1 cup oats, 1 apple, 3 fish oil MEAL 3 - Chicken breast, 1 cup green beans, 3 fish oil MEAL 4 - 1 1/2 scoops protein, crystal light, 2 fish oil MEAL 5 - 1/2 scoop protein, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1tbs heavy cream, 1/2 cup green beans, 3/4 cup oats, 1 eggwhite, 3 fish oil WORK OUT: Legs, 1 h cardio ( I dont plan to go into detail with my workouts, I know they rock..I have the training under control  plus I dont have the time...)Today was pretty good-I was thinking I had a 'no' carb day tomorrow, but its actually a high carb day  I might consider doin this cycle in 6 meals-If im up early at 5:30 Its a long day with only 5 meals, I might be hungry way before bed...Cheers!

Hey Jill - looks great so far!
 I am doing the carb cycling also, and enjoying it. What are your goals? |

Why do you do cardio everyday?
Also, those high carb does don't look high to me and low carb days sometimes look too high.  Are you calculating what your eating and do you have your macros? |

Thanks for looking over my posts Jodi!
Trust me, my high carb days are a lot higher than my low carb days. My high days I get carbs, 3 x unlimited I eat till Im full- My low carb days, still seem high to me also. I'm trying to eat 73 grams of carbs at 2 meals, then add my fruit, which is my treat!!! I dont know if Ive really lost much body fat overall-its only been 3 weeks. I have had a few cheats, but I'm not gonna beat myself up over it, nobodys perfect. (Im not competiting or anything) I add cream to my coffee, which Leslie said would be okay. Other than that my diet is pretty clean. Do you believe that Its possible for a person to have a set weight? I dont calculate my cals etc..Just too time consuming. I know Im getting more than enough protein. Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong? Oh ya-the cardio, I think its a 'mental' thing. I feel if I dont do it I will get fat. I just think that wow, thats an extra 500 or so calories burned. Ive always had weight obsessions. |
