This cycle will burn your fat fast. When you are low in carbohydrates your body will break fat and burn that fat into energy.
So day 1, 2 and 3 you will be low in carb, so at that time fat will be used as energy source and on day 4 when you will high on carb at that time your fuel(carbohydrates) tank will be filled again. By doing this you are manipulating your body to start breaking more and more stored fat and burn it into energy when you are low in carb.
This same cycle will go on for those who are planning for 3 day cycle.
Day 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 – Low Carb
Day 3 and 6 – High Carb
Calories intake will remain the same 260 grams on low carbs day and 340 grams on high carbs day.
Try this carb cycle diet and see how much it benefits you.
