The principles of carb cycling can be an effective way to improve your health and support an active lifestyle. But in most cases can lead to decreased speed, stamina, and strength as carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for the body and energy in the form of glycogen stores.Carb cycling is a dietary approach in which you alternate carb intake on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. It is commonly used to lose fat, maintain physical performance while dieting, or overcome.Carb cycling is considered a new dietary approach but has been popular among bodybuilders and athletes for some time.
The diet method appears to be an effective way to eat carbs, lose fat, and improve your health. What Is Carb Cycling? Carb cycling is a high-level nutrition strategy of alternating high and low levels of daily carbohydrate intake.
Carb cycling is basically just planned changes in carbohydrate intake in order to accelerate fat loss and/or avoid weight loss plateaus. The traditional approach has you rotate through high-carb, moderate-carb, and low-carb days while protein intake remains unchanged. Fat intake becomes low when carbs are high, and high when carbs are low.Carb cycling is one way to prevent weight regain and reduced motivation — plus carb cycling for weight loss can be effective in both the short-term (giving you quick results and energy) and long-term. 4. Encourages You to Eat More Plant Foods.
It’s generally accepted that a low carb intake will reduce power output during high-intensity exercise, so carb cycling could help if you’re eating a low-carb diet but want to complete a HIIT or weightlifting workout, for example. (BTW, here’s more info on how to exercise while on the keto diet.).Carb cycling is something of a misnomer—it’s not just about carbs. Sometimes, people reduce their carb intake on low-activity days but eat more fat and protein on those days, so much that they’re getting the same number of calories overall. If that happens, “you’re not going to see much fat loss.At that point, fatigue might set in, and your performance may suffer.
But with carbohydrate loading, you may be able to store more energy in your muscles. This may give you the stamina to make it through longer endurance events. But, you’ll still need to consume some energy sources during your event.In a nut shell, carb cycling is eating higher amounts of carbs on certain days throughout the week and lower amounts of carbs on other days. I understand that is a bit vague, however, it’s a very simple and very effective approach as you’ll see in a second.
Carb cycling is a way to enjoy this delicious macronutrient’s benefits without it leading to fat gain. You can even use this approach for weight loss. What Is Carb Cycling? Carb cycling means staggering the amount of carbohydrates you eat, so some days you eat more of them and some days you eat less.
Carbohydrate cycle for fat loss is just a cycle in which you taking high carbs and then decreasing carbs day by day until reach zero carbs and then again repeated this process.This carb cycling.Carb Cycling means you have to alternate your carb intake on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. It is used to lose weight, build pure muscle or even maintain physical performance while dieting.
You can adjust your carbohydrate intake from day to day, or you can do longer periods of low, moderate, and high-carb diets.Carb cycling is a planned approach to eating carbohydrates on a schedule as part of your diet. Instead of following the same macronutrient split (a division of proteins, carbs, and fats), you follow one specific low-carb protocol for a set number of day.
Some research shows that carb cycling can be an effective way to train the body to be flexible in using fat and carbs for fuel, and to increase stored carbohydrates (glycogen) Carb loading after a workout increases glycogen (carbohydrate) stores. Ex ercise performance is reduced when.If you aren’t familiar with Carb Cycling, it’s a proven and highly effective nutrition approach that involves alternating between eating days of higher amounts of carbs and days of eating lower amounts of carbs.
Carb Cycling is my go-to nutrition approach, and I do it every day and with every client I work with.

I find that I end up accidentally carb cycling! I’m not a huge carb person, but every couple weeks I’ll throw sweet potatoes in as a side for my dinner meals. Poof! Carb cycle. Haha
If You don’t eat seafood what is the best food item to replace fish? Please let me know
Winner of a video, I been tryin to find out about “carb cycling diet plan men” for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried Nantray Carb Caboodle (just google it )? Ive heard some great things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.
So do i eat low carbs one day then the next day i eat high carbs?
after over 2 years of IF and most kept-carnivore I see my body faster than 1,5years ago to go from carb to veto-adapted, when I have some “normal carby” OMAD. everybody else seeing this? It just feels all easier to switch and doesn’t make any problems any more (except carb-bloating^^)
I’m 26, 15’11 tall, weigh 13.4stone (187lbs roughly) looking to lose fat. I do 16:8 fasting, eat between 12:00– 20:00. I do Monday Tuesday Thursday Friday Sunday >50g carbs 180g protein 75g fat. Wednesday & Saturday I aim for about 250g carbs, 180g protein 60g fat. Every day I do a 2.5km run (fasted). After work at 17:00 I do a 15-20min HiiT work out. Every other day I do a leisurely 30min walk. Burning roughly 700 calories per day, eating roughly 1700 calories per day. I’m losing about 2-3pounds per week and I’m on week two. I feel full of energy but also challenged. I think consistency is key in anything you choose to do. Anyone have any tips for me?
If I cut for 3 months, should I carb cycle throughout all 3 months or just at specific days? I was thinking of just eating in a normal deficit for 3 months without cycling carbs so is that fine?
You obviously can’t do carb cycling with keto but you can and should do it with intermittent fasting.
I train on 4 days per week usually (at home at the moment) and this is my first carb cycle week. I am planning to do 3 medium/high carb per week on the days i do weight training or body weight exercises and 3 low carb days on days I don’t work out or do cardio only. Plus one balanced day with a little more calories.
My plan is as follows:
Monday lower body workout
Tuesday upper body + hiit cardio
Wednesday rest/going for a walk
Thursday whole body workout
Friday rest
Saturdat HIIT workout
Sunday rest and refuel
Is this okay? I am 26 and I am a woman. Thanks:)
Keto is not good longterm…so most of us do low carb..so we need carb recyclying and i was insulin resistance but with low carb im fine now a1c in 5s
Yeah, didn’t help coming from a jacked BB. Need to see a guy lose fat.
I thought the body changes between anabolic and catabolic states often times even in one day, in which case this would be pointless?
225g of carbs on low carb is WAY TOO HIGH… Talking about 2800 calories ; aim for 50 to 125g
This is glorious, I been tryin to find out about “low carb day meal plan carb cycling” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about Nantray Carb Caboodle (search on google )? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my buddy got amazing results with it.
What if you ate 2000 calories a day and doing fat loss workout
I’ve been working out for just under a year and I’ve lost a total of 21kg during this period, but I’ve now hit a plateau for over a month and stuck at 85kg. My supplement stack includes Whey Protein, BCAA and a non-stimulant fat burner. My diet is on point and I’ve been eating at a caloric deficit all this time (I eat a heavier meal every Sunday just to take a break from my diet). My goal is to reach 75kg. Any advice? Your videos are amazing and have been SO helpful. Thanks in advance ��
Great vid man! I just recently started eating high protein keto/low carb, with some nice results, once I backed off the fats lol but now working this in! So much great content on it! Including your stuff! And it’s so damn fun haha. But keeps you motivated and so tuned in when you’re doing low carb days. I feel like adherence to a healthy diet plan stays strong with this worked in. Loving it man

Best fitness girl in youtube ����❤️
So how do I do this honestly I’ve watched so many videos on this and still don’t really get it.
Whats are good low carb food besides what you mentioned so I’m not eating the same 3 items
Should you slowly lower your carbs the first few weeks then do the low day high day or should you lower your carbs immediately?
How do you track you carbs with a sushi meal do you guesstimate about how many carbs and fats and proteins are taken in or do you track it all
Does anyone have a diet plan for this? I would really appreciate it
Its never good idea to combine high fat when doing high carbs, your body will store the fat!!
I’ve been doing it 1 day a week, i don’t do it more because of my body type(i put on fat very quickly and its hard to drop weight. I’ve decided to do this instead of staying low carb everyday i don’t want to become insulin sensitive and carbs when eaten at the right time can benefit you.
So glad you are back!!!! Congrats on your upcoming wedding!!!
Why are carbs consumed the day before resistance workout rather than day of?
Thank you so much for always coming through with amazing videos and information!! Congratulations again on the wedding❤️ So excited for you!! And by the way I had to rewind the video a few times because that ring is distractingly GORGEOUS!!
Calorie counting male bitch style.. just eat continuesly well and hit gym regurly.. that simple.. don’t be one of these male women
How’s bout you do a pack with me video and what’s in my travel makeup bag ���� so happy for you btw. Your glowing
Hi Jen! You are changing your calories those three days. Your Hi carb day has 1050 calories for those two marcos, your Mod day has 1100 and your Low carb 1150 calories
The problem with carbs is the refined carbs people focus on like white breads, pasta and rice but legumes, fruit, veggies, potatoes and whole grains are considered whole carb sources and much better for your body.
“doughnuts and ice cream” those “carbs” are synthetic/designed/processed chemicals not the carbs you want to have in your body.
Pizza and Donuts are high fat, high carb and is very poor for refueling glycogen. Your information is misleading
I’m about to have this pasta tonight without feeling guilty whooooop whooooop
Hi, when you talk about carbs, what kind of carbs?? Vegetables, fruits,? Or bread, rice etc?
Just saw the vid by Vince sant but he didn’t explain how to do it.
Thanks bros for this i really appreciate this type of videos
This is just superb, been searching for “carb cycling breakfast recipes” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of Nantray Carb Caboodle (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my cousin got cool results with it.
Hi I have a question,you have mention intermitten fasting,so what that window will be if there are 5 meals in a carb cycle a
day?
Please share an example!
Question, when do you know when to lower you low carb days and when to change your high carb day cause eventually you’ll body will plateau? Please help
Im sorry but this old ass looking man Isn’t 27. He looks in his mid 30’s.
Cheers for this, I have been researching “carb cycling guide bodybuilding” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about Nantray Carb Caboodle (do a google search )? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my work buddy got great results with it.
Hi…carbs in this video….are you referring to starchy/grain carbs? Such as rice, quinoa, oatmeal, sweet potato etc?
I need to get on this ‘carb’ cycle… but seriously, fuckjng people with willpower… like… sup
Hey man, could you do a video on the (eventual) benefits of fat burning supplements?
This was great, I been tryin to find out about “how many carbs on low carb days” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of Nantray Carb Caboodle (search on google )? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my neighbour got excellent results with it.
This video will be very helpful to me as I try to achieve a six pack for summer!
The best, sanest advice I’ve ever heard on YouTube! I finally understand carb cycling!!
Carb cycling is good if natural but on gear it’s terrible which you would of talked about that
Carb cycling is only good if you can eat six to eight meals a day and you’re pretty damn active. If You’re the type that can only make it to the gym a couple times a week you better stay clear of carb cycling
Winner of a video, been searching for “best carb cycling diet bodybuilding” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across Nantray Carb Caboodle (just google it )? Ive heard some great things about it and my work buddy got great success with it.
How is my calorie intake supposed to be on high carbs days? Should it be over my maintaining calories or still under?

What about fruits??? Where should I eat them, in the low, or in the medium or in the high days???
Can you make video about drinkin cold or warm water and how it will effect your body
I guess weight loss products work differently for different people. I am fortunate enough to be one of the lucky ones that found the Weight Loss Green Store Tea to be extremely effective. I do watch what I eat in conjunction with drinking this, but it has allowed me to cut out my coffee intake. I get the same amount of energy with this as I did with coffee, which is a huge plus. And detoxing benefits are apparent:) Highly recommend.
Thank you for this video, I will give this a go. Or try to I just started counting my calories on my fitness pal app and so far I’ve been over calories every day.
All y’all defending carb recycling have missed his point… people with INSULIN RESISTANCE should not carb recycle.
Iv lost 30 pounds in 3 months so far bycarb cycling! I feel Great ����
how about before a refeed day? is it safe to go no carb then the day before, then do your refeed with low fat and replenish?
The reason I do carb cycling instead of straight keto (or zerocarb) is because the latter dries the hell out of my eyes.
You should NOT be on keto forever.
Keto is ideal, but you should consume healthy carbs once in a while.
Think about this.
If our bodies are meant to ONLY run on fat for fuel, why does the body switch to burning glucose so quickly if we have carbs? Why does it take a long time to switch back to keto(as Berg states)? It’s because your not fat adapted. That’s not a big deal.
You will get back into keto quickly and continue to have excellent health.
The key is not to make your body adapt to using ONLY fat for energy.
You should allow your body to use ketones and glucose efficiently!
If you don’t believe me, research some information on what Dr. Mercola thinks about this topic.
Imo, he is more knowledgeable than Dr. Berg.
Dude wtf, literally every video I watch about weight loss, they tell you something different. What is the real answer!!!
When you have a low carb day, do you have high fat that day?
A few downfalls? Don’t you mean “downsides?” Poorly-worded video
I tried carb cycling for a bit but idk it was too complicated for me! I just stuck with macros. I’m down 40 lbs so far and I’m gonna start another cut soon. I might do some carb cycling as well ���� I’m going to start a series when I do…Thanks for explaining this!!
Cheers for this, I have been researching “what is carb cycling for fat loss” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across Nantray Carb Caboodle (should be on google have a look )? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my m8 got cool results with it.
Two years of strict OMAD keto, totally transformed. Its now a lifestyle rather than ‘another diet’.
But I’m curious as to why my blood sugar levels were outside the high end value for normal as revealed by a recent blood panel analysis.
what people dont know is you can also do Protein cycling fat cycling etc. It makes things interesting I do not believe in too much CALORIE cycling however..beware.. kids and animals and true natural people do not eat lower and higher calories consciously..raise your activity and slowly the weight will come off while eating consistently
In any explosive sport you need carbs. You can’t be elite athlete in 100m sprint, powerlifting, etc. in keto
The mechanisms behind carb cycling suggest that it
can be beneficial for weight loss.
In theory, carb cycling may help you maintain physical performance while providing some of the same
benefits as a low-carb diet.
As with any diet, the main mechanism behind weight
loss is a calorie deficit, as in eating less than your body
burns over a prolonged period of time (16Trusted Source).
If a carb cycling diet is implemented
alongside a calorie deficit, then you will likely lose weight.
However, its more complex nature may
cause adherence issues and confusion for beginners.
In contrast, many people may enjoy the
flexibility of carb cycling. This could probably improve adherence
and long-term success for some people.

I never understood this notion of higher carb on workout days. IMO it’s better to low carb most of the week then on rest day replenish your glycogen store. Like the rest day is the day you want to let loose and recover.
Muscle isn’t built while lifting, it’s built when recovering
Just wonderful, I’ve been looking for “carb cycling snacks” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about Nantray Carb Caboodle (just google it )? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.
Thank you for putting out these videos. Been watching them for quite some time now. Fantastic info and for free. Seriously you are saving lives. Thanks a lot man
I don’t get it. Do you carb up the day of, or the day before a heavy lift?
Finally someone truly honest crystal clear, doesn’t take a long time to say it thank you very much ��
When you say “make sure not to eat to much fat in the low carb day”, how many calories do you mean? I am 78kg
For weight loss how often do I need to keep a updated calorie check for carb cycling? Every 10 pounds loss? how does that work? Thanks!
Just wanted to say your video saved my life, I was so confused about carb cycling and after watching your video it was so much clearer! Thanks!!!!!
OML THANK YOU! I’ve been so curious about this topic lately! Especially when I should pick to do a high carb day and how to keep it balances. ����✨
Bro thank you so much carb cycling is easier then I thought when you explained it
I have a kinda skinny fat physique. When I started to train I just eat everything in my sight, I did put some weight and some muscles, but most of it was fat. Now I want to lose some of that fat, so I decided to do a cut. I went on a TDEE calculator and it said I need around 2200 calories every day. I also want to mention I have a slow metabolism. It said I need 223 g of carbs, 223 g of protein and 50 g of fat. I do eat a lot of carbs and high protein intake but I still on a caloric deficit. Do you think this is good for me to burn fat and not muscles?
I’ve been doing Keto for 5 weeks and I feel progressively worse. I’ve taken all the recommended supplements and upped the fat intermittent fasting, etc etc etc and I feel like I’m on the verge of DEATH. Keto healthy carb cycling 1 day a week or 2 if necessary is my last hope. My house is falling apart because I have NO ENERGY TO CLEAN IT! I can barely walk to the mailbox. Can’t do this anymore but I don’t want to eat their processed chemical filled poison either. Finding myself in the old Catch 22 of the psychopaths once again….
greetings from Afghanistan. would you please do a video on how to get to the lowest amount of body fat possible?
I use carb cycling a lot for my clients and they get really great results! Thank you for this video. I have shared it with my clients and it helps them to understand why we are doing carb cycling!
I think that it depends on your genetics and body type, ESPECIALLY for women. Women should really be sure they are monitoring their hormones and what feels good and right for them when it comes to keto genetic diets and extremely low carbs for extended periods. This is where I think MEN risk giving bad advice to women, especially women of a certain age. I would follow women like Dr. Mindy Pelz for a more customized approach to women.
No carb cycling needed.
Having a cheat meal twice a month is what is needed to avoid slowing of the metabolism.
This will occur naturally anyway. A birthday, Easter, a holiday, binge drinking with friends…etc.
what if im obese, i might have problems with high insulin? so high carb days like 200 grams and above might not be a good idea?
Max, I usually excersice 5 days a week and rest on weekends. That means that I have to take those days a high carbohydrates diet so the last day of my routine take a medium carb day and a no carb day Saturday?
I would think you’d need much more healthy fat, no? Especially on your low carb day?
What a stupid video. It feels as they’re encouraging people to stay away from carb cycling. In fact it’s the best way to either gain, lose fat or maintain your gains. Carb cycling is a lifestyle. I hope the person who uploaded this video go get themselves educated properly first before putting up stuff. #idiots
I follow the “No Rubbish Diet”. No sugar, no wheat, no rice, no potato, no pasta. Works
Dude I was watching a video about carb cycling and I was asking myself “What the hell is carb cycling” than I saw your video. Love you man!
Only diet from website NextLevelDiet works for me. After one month I lost 10kg. Now I finally have six pack:D
i eat a plant-based diet and i’am trying to lose weight, i really never know what to eat as a low carb high protein meal.. of course there’s tofu, or beans, etc.. but beans are carbs, aren’t they? What do i do?
This is just superb, been searching for “carb rotation diet sample menu” for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried Nantray Carb Caboodle (search on google )? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my brother in law got great success with it.
Great vid man, question though? On low carb days what workouts do we do? Rest/cardio medium days build muscle and high carb days build muscle? Is it ok to do legs during medium and high carb days too?
is drinking beer forbidden while on carb cycling? even maybe just 3x a week?

Jordan…I LOVED your video. You make such “perfect sense”. I’m 69 soon to be 70, with PsA since I was 30 so I’ve always exercised daily, watched my diet. I have found that the 16/8 works for me. However, I’m now shrinking of course and have to make an extra effort to watch my calorie intake. I shall continue to follow you…but could I plz request that you “curb” the use if the F Word? It’s quite offensive to we older folks. �� I wish you great success & TY for helping so many folks “in all age groups”, I suspect. In fact, we have a personal trainer daughter & she should hear your concept. Patti.��
which day high carb and low carb CARB CYCLING how do i do it
….. I do find this workout, it will work, for me.
For the position I’m in!!!
Is Custokebon Secrets helpful to lost tons of weight? We’ve learn a lot of good stuff about this popular weight loss secrets.
How do i plan this exactly when it comes to the ammount of days i should do each day? How many days of low how many days of medium and how many days of high? Please help! Very appreciated guys.
Would strongly disagree that carb cycling hinders bulking, as long as calories are adequate and food sources are clean carb cycling should be absolutely fine during bulking. I myself have done it as have my friends.
So I have been doing this all my life.
Now make sense too much carbs everyday=fatness,
too low calorie=low metabolic rate=fatness, high carb, low carbs and mod carbs + not over eating + dancing or just boring cardio +muscles training = fitness
✌️✌️✌️✌️
140 grams of carbs is a low-carb day? Low carb for me is like 30 to 50 g per day.
I don’t necessarily agree with this. I did strict keto for a year, but then decided to add back in carbs, less than 100-150 grams daily now, mostly sweet potatos. I’m still in ketosis and feel amazing. My performance in my workouts increased too. Maybe this doesn’t apply to everyone but whatevs.
Winner of a video, I’ve been looking for “low carb diet plan” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of Nantray Carb Caboodle (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )? Ive heard some great things about it and my co-worker got excellent success with it.
You’re the best man! Very informative! You deserve many subscribers. Hands down nice presentation.
false. keto must be below 30 to 50 grams for 3 to 4 days to get to ketosis then have a high carb meal then repeat
Amazing this vid is almost 4 years old and yet still has more info than any of the more recent topic vids out there double bonus RJ isn’t an 80/20 ad man (20% content, 80% advertising).
Many thanks, I been tryin to find out about “carb cycling for weight plan loss” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about Nantray Carb Caboodle (should be on google have a look )? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my brother in law got great success with it.
How does one do a “no carb” day? Anything with sugar has carbs, even vegetables. Just drink protein shakes with no sugar the whole day?
I didn’t have scales at the time, but I wanted to switch up my current meal plan. On my weight loss journey, and I think I lost 5-7 pounds in 2 and half weeks. It was fab, I would really recomened if you are wanting something new/or not far from your weight loss goal.
This was great, thanks, I been tryin to find out about “carb cycling foods list” for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried Nantray Carb Caboodle (search on google )? Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.
Hello!! I have a question! So I’m on a split of push,pull,legs,push,pull,legs,rest how could I implement carb cycling on this split, if possible?
This is glorious, I have been researching “low carb diet plan” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of Nantray Carb Caboodle (do a google search )? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate got excellent success with it.
I noticed I’m lightheaded, jittery and moody when I’m on a low carb diet. Is that normal? And does that mean I’m in Ketosis? If not how do I tell I’m in Ketosis? (Good video idea) Thank you Dr Berg for all the great info in these videos. You are having such great impact on people’s lives.
Look how about you use a. Athlete who is an endomorph. You call this cycling but he is over 200 grams on a low day? This is so irresponsible as guys without his metabolism are going to just get fat
I think 30 minutes walking before breakfast is lose weight fast.
Because Fat change energy by not Carbs.
You can burn more Fat
when you hungry.
It’s 10% more effective
than takikg Carbs,not hungry. It is showed by
Research.����
Which exercise requires you to eat carbs? Weight training and long distance running?
Dr Berg fan here….but this gives carb cycling a bad name. 2-3 days good keto and rotating in a small amount of good carbs on another day can be GOOD! Nothing crazy but a sweet potato or some berries etc…. is ok.
Am I doing something wrong because everytime i click ” Macro results” It takes me to a meal plan that I cant get past unless I pay so its not really a free calculator so do you have any other suggestions?
Sorry,
I don’t agree at all. Keto is not a lifestyle for too many women for several reasons. Perimenopausal women and women with adrenal fatigue need some healthy, unrefined carbohydrates. It is what it is, especially if you lift heavy weights like I do. I did straight KETO and no difference in my bod or the scale. Added IF and STILL no difference. Wondered why everybody killed it on KETO but it hated me so much.
Decided to prolong fast for 7 days, to boost and power charge �� my weight loss. Then I went back to IF but NOT full on KETO to maintain my weight loss. Within 30 days, re integrated small amounts of quinoa, blueberries and blackberries and brown rice. Weight dropped dramatically and STAYED off. Why? Because adrenal fatigue is DEFINITELY due to exercising without the power and strength to do so, ( no carbs). My adrenaline (adrenals) were out of whack due to the added stress of working out and having NO energy from having no carbs. It knocked my hormones out of whack in the process as well. If the adrenals are screwed, weight loss is screwed. Keto may lower insulin, but it can raise cortisol due to the “fight or flight ” when it comes to HIIT, resistance training or heavy cardio for women. At least for perimenopausal women. If you’re perimenopausal, it can contribute to estrogen dominance quickly. No good.
That means WEIGHT GAIN. Now, I’m taking VITEX, Ashwaganda, and Chaste Berry to raise my progesterone levels.
So, a ton of your info DOESN’T address or pertain to women properly. We’re not men. Our hormones, cycles, perimenopause and menopause change the game for us completely. Not ALL of us but DEFINITELY legions of us. Sorry not sorry. Carbs are NOT the devil ��
Hey I’m new to this. But I had a quick question. Would it be ok to do the high moderate and low carb on a daily track and do HIT workouts on the high carb days?
what if you work out 5 days a week? then you are just having a carb heavy diet?
Ever try lifting weight from you foot while crossing legs? and lifting legs in the crossed leg potion something fun I have tried:)
So this is good to the beginner to moderate lever fitness enthusiasts who want to burn fat but retain muscle? Is that the main idea behind it?
He must look so old for his age because he’s totally 100% a natural drug-free bodybuilder.
Great video very informative. Gonna map out of my plan for carb cycling
The most simple yet informative vdo about carb cycling������thanku
Loving it
Can I do this 5 day high carb with exercise, 2 day low carb rest days?
Can I keep the same amount healthy fat for low/high carb days? Eg. 2-3 eggs with more rice & 2-3 eggs with less rice? Does that matter? Thx:)
you said that you can do this weekly. this is the method that i want to do because it’s easier for me to manage. eat normally one week and then keto the next. my question is, is weekly just as effective as daily?
u are insane man this is my first comment on youtube ever
a 30 min video very big deal and very detailed explaination
hats off man
❤❤love from india❤❤
I was a track athlete on keto, and when you are fat adapted add carbs before a race its like taking jet fuel. Cant do it more than once every week or else the effects go, and your body is confused on what to burn.
he really did break this down with detailed info and numbers! respect man!
Have to listening to V-shred bullshitting before this video start
When you measure your carb intake is that from a cooked state or uncooked state?
Heyyyyyy jen! I love your videos. I’ve been a subscriber for years now. You’re very knowledgeable of nutrition And creative with workouts. You’re such a great motivation to me
Thanks dr about I was search for this topic and you made it so easy
Cheers for this, I’ve been looking for “carb cycling meal plan male” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of Nantray Carb Caboodle (do a search on google )? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my neighbour got cool success with it.
wow this is the most simple video I’ve seen on this subject..Straight to the point and easy to understand. Thank you
I been doing this for the last 45days its unbelievable how good it work I’m a type1 diabetic so I never ate a lot of carbs so I can manage my glucose better but my high carb days I do 250carbs medium carb day I’m at 110 and low carbs usually try to stay at 0 or if my sugar drops I kinda have to have carbs to bring it up��. how long can you carb cycling for until you platue or you can’t platue of it? thanks for this video!!!
What is Custokebon Secrets and how does it work? I hear lots of people lost their weight with this popular weight loss secrets.
This sounds easy and manageable! I think I’ll intermittent fast on low carb/off(gym) days as well. Thanks so much, this is what youtube needs more of; straight to the point videos!
Hey Max why u recommend only two low carb day back2x why not 3 low the high or 5 low then 2 high? Any update of this carb cycling?
Not that a few years has gone by I wonder if anyone has figured out that carb cycling is bs and doesn’t work. Lol. Your body doesn’t know one day from the next. It’s fake AF. You want to lose weight stop eating and do some work.
This is nonsense. Carbs in forms of wheat and processed foods is nuts. This will cause huge spikes of insulin and bad advise for people
Mann wish I saw this before… I turned skinny fat but not on purpose and I’m trying to figure out how to get Skinny Fit… I excercize my butt off and watch what I eat and I just wanna be toned
Yeah I’ve tried the carb cycling with high protein keto very low carb after being pretty dang consistent with keto for many weeks. I feel like it’s just binge behavior. Saving up for the carb binge☠️You lose that low carb keto zen. Not worth it. High protein keto alllll the time is for me. Carbs are such a drug
i do 100 gram carb tuesday Wednesday thursday satuday sunday, then i do high carb 250-300 on monday and friday… low carb days 1780 calories high carb day 2100 calories, going to stick to it till i hit a plateua, im also aiming for bodyfat loss vs weight loss
Can I start carb cycling even if I have damaged my metabolism drastically through years of yo yo diets or do I have to fix my metabolic damaged first.
Just wonderful, been searching for “what to eat on high carb day” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across Nantray Carb Caboodle (do a google search )? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my brother in law got amazing results with it.
i train on tuesday thursday. saturday
so on this days i have to eat more carbs and on rest days low amount of carbs and calories yes?
Just came across your excellent video as I was looking for information on a new way of eating that is new to me. However, as a woman nearing her 50s, I disagree with the end advice of dieting down traditionally and then start carb cycling. Most women at this stage usually cannot just “diet down” until after menopause. Personally, I am going to just start carb cycling because it will help my metabolism during the periomenopause phase I am in now. Besides, I’m not too entirely sure that most people would notice a difference in levels of crabbiness!! And if that’s the only side effect… A video for women detailing carb cycling after age 40 would be beneficial. I will see if there are any out there, but yours again, was excellent, and I thank you for the info.
Literally the absolute best explanation ive heard and without adding my email or cc info for the low monthly cost of $29.95.
Dr Berg you take it to the extreme. There is nothing wrong with cycling in and out of keto once in a while when you’re fat adapted.
Hi mate…quick question…is the high carb day the same as a refeed then??
Thank you thank you for this information. I’ve been on every diet known and had weight loss sleeve surgery all to be right back where I started. I’m starting this tomorrow it makes so much sense ��
Just wonderful, I have been researching “female carb cycling” for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried Nantray Carb Caboodle (should be on google have a look )? Ive heard some decent things about it and my buddy got cool success with it.
I cant really do carb cycling as I cant easily assess to protein and healthy fat food in my college, to stay full i always load up with vege and a quater cup of white rice and eat oatmeal in the morning, so my carb intake are always around 100+
I’ve had a lot of success going low carb and calories. Was weighing 365 a year and a half ago, now I’m under 220lbs.
So much quality information in a great, easy to understand way. Thanks so much for offering this out for free man. Not a lot of people are willing to do something like this in such a clear and concise way without financial compensation. Much love for you.
So glad I watched this video! I was kind of considering cycling or carb ups to try to break a stall that I’m in but now I see that’s not a good idea, thanks so much for this video! Very helpful!
Thank you! Very informative and I like the breakdowns of examples!!
Is Custokebon Secrets useful to lost a lot of fat? I have read a lot of good stuff about this popular lose weight methods.
I know nothing about measuring food and weighing it because I’m only seventeen but I’m gonna follow your template and see what happens. I’m really scared to try carb cycling instead of straight up Keto but I have hope for once in a long time. You’ve given me something to try and look forward too these days I look in the mirror and want to hurt myself as soon as a see my reflection but I hope this will change and if it does I owe you my life. I hope this works I work out for an hour three days a week but I cant do the math but lll try to follow these numbers so wish me luck
Or just dont eat carbs and use fat for fuel and youll recomp get lighter and stronger
Hi! Uhmm just wanna ask if I wan’t to carb cycle and i work out almost 6 times a week can i do it like:
Monday Wednesday (low carb and exercise)
Thursday (high carb, no exercise)
And so on
Hope you answer
Can i eat bananas and sweet patato for the fat intake? I use basmati rice and outs for high carb intake. Mixed vegtables i believe is for good carbs, right? Appreciate the advice…
Winner of a video, been searching for “carb cycling 101” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about Nantray Carb Caboodle (search on google )? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my neighbour got amazing results with it.
Actually, I suspect that the carb recycling is beneficial to those who basically do well on a keto diet, but they have thyroid conditions. There are many who don’t know they have thyroid conditions, or who aren’t converting the T4’s to T3’s. In fact, this is one of the common problems already people have due to synthroid, synthetic thyroid pills. I’m on natural dessicated because was almost comatose on synthroid. My thyroid quit and produces 0% of the hormones. So Keto worked for some issues, and but the weight loss completely stalled though was eating so light by this point that I was having chest pains. And was testing and had acetones present. I do intermittent fasting and now go back and forth as needed on healthy carbs, and keto. Keto allowed me to have better mobility however. But weight loss is continuing on a healthy carb diet, no junk food and using honey, spelt, fruits, and the occasional small potatoes. Potatoes give an insulin resistance response however for me, more than blend of flours do. Thyroids require glucose, so personally think there are alot of people who don’t know they have a thyroid issue, or have to convert. Because when they carb up, they start to unstall their weight loss again. I just go off and on for a couple months at a time as needed, knowing I have to go through the keto process and take ample electrolytes and potassium/mag again.
I had a fatty liver and I was 105kg (183cm tall), after 3 months of carb cycling I lost 17kg, and now I am much healthier than before.
Started carb cycling today…I usually count calories religiously and go for 5-6 mile runs/do tons of cardio and I. Can’t. Get. Rid. Of. This. Layer of FAT! So frustrating, but I’m excited to see if this works. Thank you for the detailed info…Helped me understand it a lot more. Question though, do I do cardio/go running on high carb days? Strength? Which day should I rest?
I’m trying this because my doc says I’m prediabetic. I can see looking back I had way to much sugar and carbs. I want to do biking for 30+mins a day. I’m 3 days in and only eat within 8 hrs of day. I feel tired at work is this normal or body adjusting? Anyone….
That’s exactly why you should carb cycle so your body doesn’t adapt to have fast metabolisms and burn fat
Carb cycling is pointless. Calories in Vs calories out is the only thing that matters. Keep carbs consistent. Fluctuating macros up and down can cause stress to the body and cause it to retain water making you appear fatter.
I use carb cycling finally got the science down after several attempts with the diet but it helped me with my transformation to get shredded
I have a question, can a beautiful experienced person help me, because I workout 5 to 6 times a week can I eat low carbs on a low carb day or do I have to eat high carbs Even tho it’s a low carb day???????? it that makes sense?
Amazing sir! Love your simplicity! Way to hit it on the head and not beat around the bush!
I know this isn’t important compared to the content of this videobut I just wanted to say your hair looks soooooo good. Compliments you and your skin tone perfectly ���� ��
Should you keep a calorie deficit on high carb days even if it’s a bit harder or just make sure you’re at a deficit across the week?
Awesome and helpful video!
So I have a quick question. So in this video you mentioned to eat high carbs on workout days and low carbs on non work out days. My mom is very overweight and has a bunch of health issues and pains so working out is very difficult for her. Do you think the carb cycle would work for her or is it meant more for people who can exercise? Thanks
Hey man thanks for the great videos!! You’ve helped out a lot!
Cheers for this, been searching for “how to carb cycle bodybuilding forum” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of Nantray Carb Caboodle (just google it )? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my mate got cool results with it.

Is this the similar metabolic confusion. Sorry I’m just learning the science behind food and calorie intake
so it seems like carb cycleing is away for people that want to get realllllly riped and they enjoy there mass size and do not really wish to incress it, but you still need to work out but, the work out will be the same all the time, that is my guss tho.
while bulking you want to stuff that fucking face every fucking dame fucking day.
loseing whait you want to eat less.
mantaining a shreaded body carb cycling.
over all
if your a beginer stick with loseing or gaining. depening if your skinny or fat
and buff people that enjoy there body stick with crab cycling.
Don’t all the combinations average out to the same middle number
Thank you so much for explaining so simply, dear Lord I wish I would have found you first, and so thankful I did not give up bc I was almost there
What is the difference between carb cycling and flex dieting?
Or just cut out refined sugars and process foods get off you lazy ass and you will do exactly this. ����
Thank you for not giving a bullshit 30 presentation on carb cycling.
Aren’t carbs and fats worth different amount of calories?
So if I’m dropping 10g carbs and upping 10g fat, I’m actually upping my overall calories for that day, correct?
I love your videos. I’ve worked with a trainer before I got my degree in nutrition and you’ve broken your methods down amazingly. I never thought I’d be trying out some of these, but now I am. Looking forward to more videos!
high carb day=400gr low carb day =133 gr
what happens with the calories of the 267 gr? do i have to replace them with fats or just eat less calories on low carb day?
If I was to carb cycle to lose weight, would I still eat a lower amount of calories (1500-2000?) but just use more of my calories on carbs on the days that I’m going to work out?
Geez! I didn’t think I would ever find a straight to the point video. I watched so many videos on this and was left feeling overwhelmed. Thanks for going right into it and explaining it without the confusion lol.
Carb cycling is good if you always keep the fat low. Fat prevents glucose from properly getting absorbed. Fat is the problem and why everybody is diabetic.
I think Saturday is high carb day because he can go drink Saturday night without worrying about how much carbs he’s consumed ��
on low carb days, can I eat high high fat? like 100grams of fat or moderate fat? I am 5’1, weighing 115 lbs
Thank you for such informative video. What amount of protein / lean body mass do you recommend
But you didn’t explain why human body made to use back to carb quicker then fat.
This was great, I’ve been looking for “no carb day meals” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of Nantray Carb Caboodle (should be on google have a look )? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.
My interest in carb cycling has nothing to do being an endurance athlete. It has everything to with trying to build more muscle at the gym. If all I did was cardio, then sure, I would just use my ketones. But building muscle (lifting heavy weights and resistance training) I may find it beneficial to increase my carbs on those days at the gym to maximize my gains. I just want to find a suggested ballpark figure on how many more carbs I should aim for on those particular days. Rest days would be my normal 20g or less of Net carbs. What should be my Net carbs be for lifting days? 40g? 50 g? 80g??? More???? Nobody seems to have an answer for this pretty simple question.
Congrats! Have a wonderful wedding and honeymoon. Blessings to you both. I definitely like the carb cycling idea. I would like to try after I have my baby.
Thank you for this.. you made it too easy to understand.
My question is there any side affects when if I stop carb cycling after losing all the fat? If I went back to my regular healthy diet eating the same amount of healthy carbs every day Is it going to slow down my metabolism?
Cheers for this, I have been researching “carb cycling menu for women” for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried Nantray Carb Caboodle (do a google search )? Ive heard some great things about it and my mate got great success with it.
Amazing video thank you so much for taking the time. I appreciate the depth
This is glorious, I been tryin to find out about “carb cycling foods to eat” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of Nantray Carb Caboodle (just google it )? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my friend got excellent success with it.
What if i do about 50g carbs for 2-3 consecutive days then 1-2 days of carbs?
What about carb refeed maybe one time a week after getting very lean just to keep the muscles full looking and a slight strength boost. Quite a few do this with great results. If you’re fat adapted the body will be able to switch back in forth correct? I’m not talking eating a bunch of carbs like crazy but a bit knocking out of ketosis occasionally.
Can I keep the same amount healthy fat for low/high carb days? Eg. 2-3 eggs with more rice & 2-3 eggs with less rice? Does that matter? Thx:)
Hope you have an amazing wedding & honeymoon! Perfect timing for this video for me as I have been looking in CC recently
none of these videos on YT explain the effect carb cycling has on metabolism (or if it has any effect). I still haven’t learned the WHY
I’m currently mixing up Intermittent fasting and carb cycling, I’m a bit confused, i workout 6x a week heavy cardio and weights, when should I take highs and lows? My fasting schedule is 9pm-1pm(next day) when should I also eat, before or after workouts?
Question for dr. Berg. I am an endurance cyclist. Today for example, I did a 4 hr and 21 min ride logging 80 miles and climbing 3,100 feet in elevation. I burned 4,561 cals according to my polar H10 chest strap heart rate monitor. My question is do I kick myself into ketosis after 2,750 cals giving me a buffer? Also, I started the ride 16 hours into a fast and finished at 21 hours of fasting with no nutrition at all on the ride. I am on the OMAD diet and had approximately 2,000 cals for my meal yesterday of bacon, sausage, eggs, 10 oz of fresh radishes, 10 oz fresh cucumber, 35 oz of kale, parsley, beet root, 1 whole lemon, acv, sea kelp, nutritional yeast, betain HCL, chia seeds, shake. Perhaps I was in ketosis the whole time? Wanted to get your feedback. Btw average speed for the entire ride was 18.4 mph. Not bad for fasting.
This is just superb, I’ve been looking for “carb rotation meal plan” for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried Nantray Carb Caboodle (should be on google have a look )? Ive heard some super things about it and my m8 got great results with it.
LadiesI highly recommend researching how we metabolize cards and fat throughout our monthly cycle. Interesting stuff. Try carb cycling with your cycle and work with your own body.
How long can this be sustained? Like how long until we drop it? Until we see results that align with our goals? Etc
My gaol is fat loss. I train 3 times a week with weights and 3 times doing HIIT (kickboxing) and have 1 rest day. Which days should be high, moderate and low on carbs?
Thank you…. Explained carbs cycling in the simplest way����
This is the best video ever! Explains it so easily and straight forward with no confusion! You earned another subscriber, my friend.
I wish everyone got to the point and told it like it is! Thank you for the wonderful video. It really isn’t brain surgery is it?
If you eat 100g of carbs a day what are your macros? How many percentage of fats you eat and protein? Im quite living a sedentary lifestyle for 2 weeks because im on a fertility treatment. Walking is just allowed as a wrorkout.or can i just eat 100g carbs everyday because im not working out?
This makes a lot of sense. It’s what I’ve been doing just instinctively. I can’t have a good workout without a bunch of carbs during the day. On non workout days, less carbs works fine.
I’m sorry but from everything I’ve read and studied, The only thing that really matters is protein and total calories. High carbs, low carbs, high fat, low fat doesn’t matter. It’s all about the protein.
The reason ppl think Keto diet works so well is most high protein foods are naturally low carb. So it just goes hand in hand. So you can eat all the pasta you want and just pound protein shakes and if you stay in same calorie range you will lose the same amount of weight unless you are carb sensitive. There are ppl whose body chemistry and metabolism don’t handle carbs very well.
For those commenting on the loss of menstrual cycle and reduction in ovulation, I have heard Dr Berg mention that Iodine is important for women’s Health and I have seen this online in other places. Iodine promotes ovulation so consuming foods high in Iodine such as sea kelp should help? Has anyone tried this as a remedy for loss or irregular periods? Also would like Dr Bergs opinion on this too is possible.
Thanks for the info. I’ve been doing it wrong. Lol! But no harm… I just started yesterday lol! I’m trying it out because I unfortunately gained weight on a prolonged caloric deficit and hormonal imbalance. Grrreeeaaaatt
You’ve done a great job with this video, Remington. Thank you for the time and energy you put into it, means a lot to many of us. It was accessible, informative, engaging, and all around great. You have a new fan in me.
I’ve been considering Carb Cycling. Just cuz there’s this program that’ll help me get through it but I really just wanna lose weight. So I’m not sure if I should even join. Yeah I’d like to tone my body but my main goal is losing weight to get to a healthier weight.
I dont count calories anymore, did it long time ago and it helped to eyeball my portions of food, ive been carb cycling for long time without even knowing i was doing it, i always felt so good eating everything i want for two days (sats n sund) the other five eating moderate carbs (only complex 300g) high protein high fat) doing that i manage to stay lean year round for four years now (56% bf) thanks nice info
Just wonderful, been searching for “high carb day diet” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across Nantray Carb Caboodle (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )? Ive heard some decent things about it and my cousin got great results with it.
Hahaha nothing worse then a grown friend who won’t eat certain foods
Reminds me of my kids
so i take it, my carb cycling around my workouts is fine because it brings blood sugar down quick? way better pumps from carbs
Hey Jen �� Thanks for uploading another awesome video and for inspiring me to make my own YouTube channel! Your the best! Lots of love from Canada ����
You made it clear about endurance athletes but what about explosive sports like tennis? and resistance training?
man 280 protein is too much..how you separate carbs from fibers?i eat carbs only by whole grain products,quinoa and fruits-vegetables..how can i have 33g of carbs while only by quinoa i take 100g of carbs?
So, in these low carb and high carb days, is it mostly what you eat post workout or throughout the respective days?
How can I keep fat low on low carb days if I’m having 1g of protein per body weight lb? Am I supposed to eat less overall on low carb days? Right now I’m doing 20% carbs, 50% fat, and 30% protein on low carb days. Protein stays unchanged. Please help!! Thank u!
Hey please answer this question, I was wondering if I could do cardio on a high carb day and do weight training on a low fat day will this help me lose fat also I am 6”0 in height and I weigh 16-17 stones
What if I workout 6 days a week? Will this still work out for me?
I’ve already lost 37 pounds with carb cycling. It works but you have to exercise as well just like you said in the video. LUCKYLOBO
no carb, low carb, high carb, no carb, low carb, high carb, low carb…repeat
Just wonderful, I have been researching “female carb cycling” for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried Nantray Carb Caboodle (should be on google have a look )? Ive heard some decent things about it and my buddy got cool success with it.
I’m 71 and a type 2 diabetic can I carb cycle I’m an endomorph. Help
Misses the mark but nice try, serious fitness folks workout at least 6 days a week
My husband and I have been doing Keto since July. We both lost weight and felt great; however, my husband and I had our annual blood work done and his came back dangerously high HDL and his LDL had risen too. His doctor told him to add oatmeal, Quinoa and other grains back into his diet. He also told him to stay away from fatty meats such as bacon and red meat. What are your thoughts?
Carb cycling isnt day to day issue. Is thing of a season. In the season you eat Just the right amount of carbs and few days before the big deal, match or competition you eat carbs like a crazy goat. As in the season you ate the minimun healthy possible carbs amount your sensibility to the insulin rises. When you eat a bunch of carbs you feel like you energy and stamina raises suddenly.
Thank you, congratulations on the wedding �� I want to see pics….much love ��
Hi! I’m confused about the fat intake. So, in your example if my low fat is 42, in a high carb low fat day I should have 50 fat? Shouldn’t it be 32 (10 less)?
I don’t get it cause in your rest days you need to eat more fats but when I use your calculator I always get the same amount of fats?
How do you measure your fats and carbs? I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables + counting in sugar in my tea and etc.
This is patently false. You cannot do any kind of glycolytic performance activities in a low carb state. Name me one athlete who is on keto. Answer: zero. Your metabolism will crash, you will run on cortisol, your T levels will take a dive, and forget lifting weights. May this keto fad die already. Intermittent fasting: good. Keto: not so good. Get into more carb cycling. Go higher carb on your training days. Go lower carbs on your rest days. It will put your body into a hormetic state. Much healthier, saner, and more lifestyle focused. I promise you, if you’re into keto right now; you won’t be a year down the road. It’s just not sustainable. Food should be for lifestyle and performance.
LOVE IT!!!!!! Love how you simplify it bro. Ppl tend to put way too much in the hype man. Keep it simple keep it true! Best of luck!
You’re a good guy doc. And I appreciate your mission. But let’s get something straight here. Carbs are to be utilized as our ancestors utilized them. Short periods of carbs with long periods of famine and fat and protein intake. The cyclic diet mimics that type of food intake and if you’re an athlete (im sorry. I’m just calling it like i see it. You do not look very muscular doc.) then cycling is very essential. My performance in the gym went up substantially when I introduced cycling and on top of all that I still see the pounds coming off. Just don’t eat garbage on your carb up days.
I wish you would have started with the get lean first statement. Carb cycling is not for those just starting out.:) but otherwise thanks for the great info!
Just about everything you mention in this video is completely wrong in regard to a CKD and more specifically the Anabolic Diet. Have you read Dr. Pasquale’s book at all? Doesn’t seem as you have. If you are looking for correct information on a CKD or The Anabolic diet do yourself a favour and search: Lyle McDonald, Mauro Di Pasquale and Dan Duchaine
Do you think you could please do a video on your opinion on keto! It’s so popular right now and I always love how knowledgeable you are on this stuff! I think I’m definitely going to try this carb cycling! ��
I have found carb cycling to be of a great benefit in burning off fat. I do 5 low or no carb days, one high carb day, and then a semi fast day. On the 5 low or no carb days I increase my fat and protien intake. On the carb day I ignore the nutrition info and all my body to lead my food intake. The semi fast day is a lot of liquids and no food until 3 PM. The semi fast day is easy since my body is still working with the carbs from he prior day. This routine in dieting has restulted in a loss of 45 lbs since Jan 1st 2019 while allowing me to increase my run speed from 5 mph to 5.7 mph for 30 minutes and adding 70 lbs on my bench press.
idk. I just started carb cycling with IF (16/8) and my body feels better. I’m a carb eater so my body can only go so far with little carbs everyday. (started low carbs for several wks.) I started carb cycling/IF this week and lost 4pds! I wasn’t trying to lose 4pds.
I am exercising also and have been losing wt steadily every wk but did not expect to lose the 4pds this wk when I started carb cycling too.
but I guess it’s different for me because even though I started low carb/IF I’m not in ketosis when I do carb cycling?
Many thanks, I’ve been looking for “high carb low carb days” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about Nantray Carb Caboodle (do a search on google )? Ive heard some great things about it and my m8 got excellent success with it.
Guys. lost a lot of weight does not need to be hard (I used to think it did). I’ll give you some tips now. Look for a popular diet plan program called Fenoboci Diet Plan (just search it on google). Thanks to it I’ve lost crazy amounts of weight. I should not even be talking about it cause I don’t really want a bunch of other guys out there running the same game but whatever. I am just simply in a excellent mood today and so I will share the wealth haha.
The fact that we store more energy as fat versus glycogen doesn’t mean that’s how we are “supposed” to run energy on a permanent basis. Keto diet is a biological hack, tricking the body into thinking it’s in starvation mode. Everyone should fast each month, but the lifestyle long-term will kill you early. You will not live as full or as long as people in the blue zones…
Wait so when we eat carbs it needs to be low fat? I really want a croissant! What day can I have that!!
This was great, thanks, I have been researching “carb cycling” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of Nantray Carb Caboodle (just google it )? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my work buddy got cool results with it.
So when Carb cycling, should you eat meals during the day, or is it better to do intermittent fasting combined with carb cycling?
Is carb cycling for everyone? I gained 3lbs since starting a carb cycling. The split is one high card day, 3 low carb days, 2 medium carb days and a fasted day. I started 4 days ago but why no changes?
I’m new to carb cycling and this video really explained how to prepare myself and how to get started. With the meal samples you put on there, I’m able to pretty much follow them almost exactly. Thanks a million.
I know what protein is and I eat rice for carbs, but what counts as fat besides avocado?
keto diet and intermitent fasting sound way easier and sipler imo. but my mom says she heard keto diet is bad for my tyroids and liver in the long run, is it true
So after reading a few comments about it, I finally googled Tashiana Sethlin’s website. You can find yourself losing weight during the first week, and complete the program in a Month:)
If this doesnt work then idk what im going to do bc ive gon all over tryong to lose weight n keep it off�� im starting tmr and doing intermittent fasting at the same time.
I do feel like garbage it’s day to carb cycling I basically just tried to cut my carb intake in half just checking am I on the right track?
Did you get Botox? I feel like your face is less animated lol
Omg i just realized its a new vid… hooray… i love your talks. I know your busy, but i do miss your talks….��
Your cutting calories seem very high. Sadik Hadzovic who is a champion bodybuilder is 220lbs and cuts at 2150. I would like to know your weight, how many times a week you weight train, and for how long. How many times a week you do cardio and for how long.
I love how you explained it. I might have to try it. The wedding is so close!!! So excited for you.
I love carb cycling, it has helped me with my energy levels. I dont know if it has many other benefits, but I perform better during workouts.
Wait I don’t understand why cut the calories when are you cycling the carbs day?
So great to see you! Congratulations again! Great video very informative!
What about when u’ve lost all the body fat (BF) u wanted to lose and u dont want to lose any more? Can u cut the Fat and increase the Carbs a bit or alot then? What is a good ratio of PC&F if ur not trying to lose BF?
Should we do keto indefinitely or carb cycle once we are metabolically flexible?
I would rather just have a steady low amounts of carbs daily instead of carb cycling.
Watching you old vids! It’s been a discouraging winter. JEN: PLEASE WALK US THROUGH YOUR NEW FIT APP�� I BOUGHT IT BUT DONT SEE WHERE I CAN ADD FOOD ITEAMS ONE BY ONE? ( im plant based and can’t follow the plan that’s there.

Thank you so much for this! I feel like this would be perfect for me!
rem i love you but why do u seem like ur struggling to talk in this video?
im a skinny dude and trying bulking, eat tons and exercise hard (i know when to take a break so i wont overtrain), is it normal to have a (kinda) bloaty belly fats?
or should i workout+ cutting so i wont have unneeded fat while having a muscle so i look ‘bigger’ than the fatty version like now?

You are gorgeous! You remind me a lot of my friend Melissa! Ty for your video! ☺️
WHAT IF I DETRAINED FOR 9 MONTHS and started carb cycling in the order high carb no carb no carb is there side effects
What if you don’t work out at all. I work five days a week and I’m mostly walking and standing at my job but it’s very low impact.
i have no problem eating carbs with lots of fiber to maintaining my healthy weight cuz they get slowly in the bloodstream and used by my body so something like 40% of calories i take are carbs and no problem as i buy lots of whole grains and i eat it with lots of vegetables like raw broccoli and tomato, and i eat 3 fruits every day that the calories they have are carbs!
What if you dont have any rest days? Specifically, me using half the days of the week bulking and the other half cutting. How do I carb cycle then?
How the f is 230g of carbs low carb and -100 cal a caloric deficit?
Does 230g carbs mean 230g of actual for example pasta, or 230g of actual carbs let’s say 400g of pasta?
I cut carbs and i eat all my muscle,i m very active in my current job im doing a lot of inspection and stuff i dont really stop moving and walking literally, would you recommend to keep the intake, however some days i dont reach the goal due to time, i just dont have to feel weak anymore like i did ince and most importantly dont want to start storing fat again which i realized it was due to the insufficient calories intake i was having
Thank you for the honest review and not trying to sell a product or service
Great video: what would you recommend for someone that is strict, who would only eat carbs prior to a competition, if so, what carbs, how much and how long before the race?
Thanks for thus video was very helpful, I will try for 30 days..
I agree with everything you say in the video but your daily carbs on your low-carb days is delightful. I probably don’t have that many in two weeks.��
You look way better than me, by the way. Just sayin’.
I can have a carb cheat day once a week and be back in ketosis 24 hours afterwards. My body was fully adapted to ketosis before I began to experiment with this though. Now I can have a couple beers and a burger once a week, and recover extremely quickly. It’s awesome for people like me, who aren’t concerned with performance. I’m concerned with missing beer and burgers!
Thanks Dr. Berg for all your videos. I have been growing younger, and stronger this past year, following your advice. It’s been amazing.
Im fairly new to dieting as a whole so excuse my ignorance. But should I fit my workouts on certain days like low carbs? I’ve been doing a HIIT workout every other day or so. Thanks!
do you have a meal plan for this? I’m scared to do this by myself without a plan to follow
who said low carb diet [keto ] has a negative effect on the long term LOL!
This may not be optimal for most people on a Keto diet…especially beginners..may throw people off track every week/ whenever they come off a carb load with cravings/justification…for me personally, the 2-3 days following a carb load on a CKD are rough, i dont feel good carbing up and having to adapt back to low carbs makes me pretty irritable, have a good amount of water retention/bloating and just generally dont feel good……instead maybe try to just fluctuate your total calories (+20/-20 total cals) on keto, some days i’ll even stop my intermittent fasts. Experiment and find what works well for you!
Eggs has carb right? I don’t think No carb is possible maybe low? Am I right?
What if the carbs you eat at night are from almond butter and blueberries?
I loved the video. I’ve been stuck on same macros for awhile now haha so it’s good I can rotate so I’m not under eating or overeating. MMA takes so much energy…
Crossing your legs and adding weight to foot then lifting your legs crossed like dangling with weight fun workout I have tried awesome to see if u would make a video of that
Many thanks, I been tryin to find out about “low carb cycling meals” for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried Nantray Carb Caboodle (search on google )? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my cousin got great results with it.
If you are doing 2 high carb days per week is it better to do it the same days every week or stagger the days?
This was great, I been tryin to find out about “is carb cycling good for weight loss” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of Nantray Carb Caboodle (should be on google have a look )? Ive heard some great things about it and my work buddy got great results with it.
So…. What kind of working out? I like Pilates etc but I don’t really weight train or haven’t in years. What do you recommend?
How many calories shall I intake on a High carb day and on a low fat day, I’m 6”0 Ft and weighing 16 Stones
I did low carbs for a week and I felt great. By day 10 I looked and felt like shit. You do need carbs, fats, and proteins all together. My energy levels were very low too. Malnutrition is a very serious thing that most do not keep in mind.
what excercises best for hi carb and low carb days..thanks..and by the way..you are now my fave channel for weigthloss and healthy lifestyle..very sensible!
I won’t listen to you this time, Dr. Berg, sorry… I’ve been doing strick keto for 2 years… I’m absolutely stuck and my metabolism is messed up. I can’t lose any more weight. My body is comfortable with no carbs and I don’t lose anything anymore.. Not to mention that I absolutely have no energy to workout…
It’s common knowledge that Facebook Password Sniper is the only functioning facebook hack tool, and yes it should be apparent to everyone that this video is fake as hell! You can find Facebook Password Sniper on Google:)
How can I bulk up my stool when eating keto? I practically have diarrhea when I eat keto. Makes me have to stop eating keto.
Carb cycling is the only way a fattie can lose weight (because they simply too fat to excercise.) this video is correct. I am 44 years old all muscle and no fat, the crazy part is my diet is about uhh ide say 70% junk food 20% turkey or chicken and 10% veggies. Now this is all true so why aint i fat? Its because i carb cycle AND only eat junk food BEFORE i do ANYTHING. Thats the important part. You have to think of sugar as fuel for your body, (just dont use it for feul for your car) if you flood your body with sugar and dont know WHEN your going to do something, or just do nothing you get fat. End of story. Point is you you dont have to do anything to lose weight by carb cycling like this guy talks about, and the sad thing is im in good shape and tell fat ppl about carb cycling, and this was my last responce i got from my boss i say him with a blender. I ask him “whats with the blender?” he says “im trying to lose weight” so i tell him bout carb cycling, and this was his responce “oh, i dont want to take any pills to lose weightt” this happens alot its like fat ppl accually ENJOY being fat. (nobody ever listens to me)
I wrote out the whole plan in my google docs.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YiGVjSIjCXdLINtT1LUjbg4dXbnIEEu35gDvDylGThg/edit?usp=sharing
I anm not able to download the checklist which is down in the discription
I worked out 4x this week & ate spaghetti on my wt work out day…a lil more calories..than usual..is that carb cycling..i just do it every so often…this week just once?
The video is amazing, but I am more amazed of you using grams hahahahaha
And more amazed that I am not the only one amazed by that
I’m on a OMADE protocol (one meal a day every single day) I feel fantastic all the time
Tons of vegetables and prebiotic foods
Should I have one day a week where I bring my net carb to 150g?
I feel no need to os that whatsoever
But since I’ve sem eating for a combined just 3 to 4 hours a week and fasting for a combined 165 hours a week, I wonder if I should be concerned with having a carb day
And if yes, how often?
On my regular keto OMADE day I have lots of vegetables so my net carb is already anywhere from 38 to 60g net carb
I eat Keto style(low carb) 6 days a week and then I have 1 day where I eat some good carbs(fruits/potatoes/Rice and so on. It works perfectly for me, as a natural bodybuilder I have never been in better shape than now, and this way I can time it so that I never have to be “boring” when I get asked out for diner with friends and family.
Dang you are only 27…maybe the things you do are aging your body prematurely.
So glad my friend got me on to this channel. Starting keto it’s been so useful having your videos, any info I’ve needed it’s been here ��
Surprised by those numbers. It’s just 70g of différences which means 2 slices of pizza. I don’t call it a high carb day ��
I fit but I’m 13 yds old piz help to get a 6 or 4 pack I always dream about it please help me
Livestreams for Q&As and/or just viewer chats or watching the making of videos?
how does regular exercise work into this? lets say every wednesday i do kick boxing for two hours which is very intensive. is that a high carb low carb or no carb day?
For all those saying they can do it firstly, that’s great, good for you. Secondly, he’s addressing CARBOHOLICS, those who are insulin resistant. You don’t give an alcoholic a bit of alcohol, and you don’t give a carboholic a carb feast.
As someone insulin resistant I can’t carb cycle, disastrous for me. But concerned about my female hormonal balance cycling for me looks like 10g or 30g of carbs. Hardly what anyone means by cycling.
Hi there, have you thought about this kind of diet plan known as the Fenoboci Diet Plan? My work buddy says it helps people lost lots of weight. Is that possible? I also heard a lot of great review about this diet plan. Thoughts?
His advice was so straight forward compared to other videos that were like 30mins long. Thumbs up from me ��
Many thanks, I’ve been looking for “how to carb cycle for weight loss” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across Nantray Carb Caboodle (should be on google have a look )? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my friend got cool success with it.
what’s your thoughts on bodybuilding. I’m doing some carb ups every 14 days (36-48 h). the muscles looks much better and bigger and my strength also gets up. for BB in my opinion it’s necessary to do the carb ups even to get some anabolic stimulus it’s much more difficult to build muscles without carbs and the stimulus which carbs are causing in your body!
So basically carb cheat days on a low carb diet. Sounds great and probably more effective than constant low carb intake.
I wasted $1500.00 on a trainer who didn’t explain any of this to me. Thank you. Awesome knowledge here that will work for me.
Very very interesting! I am a bodybuilder who just turned 50 years old and my body is not responding to the traditional way of eating carbs with protein. What kind of advice can you give me?
Excellent video. Dont think it is too long at all, appreciate the thoroughness as well as providing the meal prep broken down per meal. Super helpful at understanding this Carb Cycling
You are just the bestest!! I love carb cycling, thank you for putting this into my plan!! Xoxo
HI. 6 days with less than 100 carbs a day. One day a week I load like crazy. (any carbs. cheat, pizza etc…) I am eating on a very low-calorie diet. All super healthy. greens and lean meat. 25lbs in 6 weeks.
I’ve been on Keto and hit a plateau after 4 months. So I added intermittent fasting, I eat between 7-3. And I work out every single day, cardio and weight training. My Chinese medicine doctor suggests I eat carbs, like rice and potatoes! But it terrifies me lol. Can you recommend how to break my plateau? Maybe I’m just needing to measure myself instead of weighing myself.
Keto dieting is something I believe in and love but it’s incredibly inconvenient for me. I can’t afford to buy clean, organic or grass fed meats all the time. I don’t have the time to cook and I can’t survive on dirty keto take outs either. Eating eggs and cauliflower all the time just makes me sick. Carb cycling works well for me and and I am definitely fat adapted.
Thanks for this information. I used to be fit but after my pregnancy i gained a lot of weight and now im really having a hard time to lose that weight. I tried so many things, until one of my friend told me about carb cycling. Im gonna give it a try. You explained it so well. Short but sweet.
Thanks for the Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you tried Dinanlinson Elegant Figure Approach (should be on google have a look)? It is a great one off product for uncovering the secrets behind a highly effective low carb diet minus the hard work. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my m8 at last got excellent results with it.
This video helped me so much, I’m only 12 and I’m trying to lose weight and I think this is going to be what actually loses the weight
From my experience starting on a low carb diet 150 grams a day then after a month or month and half or so I’ll begin to drop that number about 25-50 grams a day all the way down to zero then slowly add the carbs back in 25-50 and cycle carbs like this I’ve found that you will have a much easier time adapting to keto with barely any noticeable keto flu like symptoms as opposed to diving right into 0 carbs which has always wrecked me when trying it that way where I’ll end up having crazy sugar shakes, dehydration, dizziness all the crappy symptoms even when getting all the proper electrolytes in and doing everything right.
5 low 2 high
on the lows 230grams of carbs is not low50gs in green veg is low
on the highreduce all fatscarbs need to be clean like boiled rice, yams, and boiled potatoes, with protein from fish.
now thats a bad ass diet
Thank you for being awesome and making it short and sweet without lots of ‘filler talk’ I 100% understand it now!
Doing a ketogenic diet cost a lot of money. Everyone that talks about talks about grass-fed beef and all this expensive butter. Has anyone checked the prices of this stuff. It’s outrageously expensive in Los Angeles. When I did Keto I spent a lot of money and I did it for about 2 years. Problem is I lost a lot of muscle. Keto is great if a guy wants to stay slim and not have any muscle such as old guys are guys in their middle age. But for a young guy, working out and lifting weights is enjoyable and it’s a way to build muscle, however with keto it’s impossible to build muscle on fat and no carbs are little carbs. Carbs gives me the energy to lift weights and go running three four times a week. And I was on keto I had no energy whatsoever and I was always taking a lot of salt and getting cramps when I worked out. The truth is, it’s for some people but for most people is not a long-term solution. Diets work, only if you can stick to them. Right now what I do is carb cycling where I eat carbs, healthy carbs, on Thursday and Friday and the rest of the week I do mostly vegetables, eggs, and I avoid meat. The dangerous thing that keto is that encourages people to eat meat. If you cannot afford the best cuts of meat, you’re going to be eating a meat at Walmart. Check out how they process the meat with all the hormones and drugs they put into that meat because the animals are sick. Everyone who talks about keto, such as this nice doctor, always talks about the expensive Foods, the eggs to Meats. The reality is, most people in America cannot afford all these expensive Foods unless there a doctor like you or highly paid professional. Going to Whole Foods every week for a family and getting grass-fed beef, and pasture-raised eggs, etc etc cost an arm and a leg. It’s just not affordable and impractical for the long term for a family on a budget, as most American families are.
Cheers for this, I have been researching “carb cycling pre workout meal” for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried Nantray Carb Caboodle (search on google )? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my cousin got excellent success with it.
I was doing this unintentionally when I was dropping weight like crazy.
Now that I got stuck at the same routine my weight stopped.
Dr. Berg is spot-on. I do two to three Century rides a week. I do these rides in a fasted state. Sometimes, I don’t even eat until the day after I’ve done my Century ride! While I am doing my rides, the overwhelming majority of the time I am in the second highest heart rate zone. A typical Century ride for me is 5 and 1/2 hours. Four of those hours are in the highest heart rate zone. I will even hit the highest heart rate zone for around 18 minutes during the ride! This shows that you can have an extremely high intensity endurance Century ride while fasting. Thank you Doctor Berg for all your great information!
You personally train people? Do you do online training? I’m very interested! Where can I go to get more information and pricing?
Well, if you DON’T want to lose weight, Carb Cycling seems to be the best option.
Can you do science of warm up sets? And ideal preference of a correct warm up
Many thanks, I’ve been looking for “low carb high carb cycling diet” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of Nantray Carb Caboodle (do a google search )? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my buddy got excellent results with it.
Sold! I lost 20 lbs this past month by going zero carbs for 3 days then carb loading the 4th day.. I’m doing a moderate to advanced bodybuilding routine with 20 minutes of cardio every day.. I’m thinking about just ditching the carb loading day because I feel it’s just slowing me down in my fat loss.
I had bad heart pain on keto…I had to stop,even after doing potasium 1000mg per day and electrolytes,nothing helped…after coming back to normal carb diet,fruits and veggies…heart is coming back to normal…I cannot imagine what went wrong with my heart on keto.I had as well pain in kidneys.I think thta keto is not thta healthy…I was drinking leafy greens on my keto,around 1 litre divided in 2-3 portions.Anyone has similar experience??
There are no benefits to any style of diet with regards to weight loss when calories are matched. No need to carb cycle, just stay in a deficit ����♀️
Isn’t it very stressful for your body? That rapid change! ����♀️
My question is if my maitenance is 2000 calories per day
In my lower carb days should i be in deficit?
How do you implement with I.F my TDEE is about 2000 but I use the 20:4 IF window. I’m not sure how to break down my macros and calorie consumption with that window. I also pretty much IF everyday
Wow straight to the point, explained in under 4 minutes simple and to the point, no BS
Thank you
High carb is destroying all healthy routine makes you eat eat eat with no end to it
If doing 7 days (half hour to hour), exercise,then wht can do?????I am doing 7 day exercises
Keto as a general philosophy is good. But the issue is what’s your goal. If it is to lose weight its ok. If it is to live up to 90-100 years with no illnesses then follow the real Mediterranean (Greek) diet (or Japanese diet). And of course no stress and fast way of living. You have to change your mindset and the overall way of living and thinking. I agree though with keto diet in lots of things and I keep from it what fits to me..
Dude, it took you ten minutes to explain that carb cycling means high carb days and low carb days.
Anyone else hit the like button during the intro before the video actually begins?? I totally do lol. Jen always uploads such great videos/content. So motivating and inspiring and REAL! I just absolutely adore her. Great video btw ����
This is exactly what I am needing. As always you are amazing ��
Would you recommend this diet for people with insulin resistance
Soooooo low carb 6 days then high carb 1 day isn’t good carb cycling?
You forget 1 big issue here, ketones doesn’t build muscle mass, carbs + protein does. So somebody who does heavy lifting can’t only run on ketones, that could be dangerous! Please correct some things here or make a new video.
What is Custokebon Secrets? Does it work? I hear most people lost their fat with this popular fat burn secrets.
What is your recommendation for fueling for distance athletes who run the half/full marathon distance? I have a race that is fast approaching and have been following a ketogenic way of eating for 3 months. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
I wanna carb cycle but it sounds so inconvenient likee it’s my bday or an outing but oh well it’s a low carb day.. I like consistent things ig.
Can I just continue to do 6 days low carb (20-50 net) and 18:6 IF and then high carb like a pizza or candy bar in addition to healthy fruits and veggies on my off day? I def make sure I get rice and pizza on that day!
I exercise with a trainer 2xs a week and alone atleast 2days.
I have 50 lbs to lose����♀️
I’ve always found that refeeding every Sunday keeps me sane and able to perform all week in the gym. As most people are not preparing for a bodybuilding show, a once per week refeed helps on a psychological and physiological level. It might slow down progress a tad versus carb cycling or once/twice per month refeeds, but the satisfaction of a weekly “job well done…here’s some pasta” day does wonders to keep you pushing forward through a lengthy cut.
Thank you so much for posting this! Any recommendations on how to track this properly? I use MyPlate to track my macros. Should we be changing the goals daily to reflect the cycling or just write it down while trying this? Thank you!!
I am a 5ft 6 42 year old woman weighing 200lbs I was once 163 lbs from my highest weight 240lbs I am currently doing intermittent fasting and carb cycling comsuming 50g on my low days and about 80g on my high days am I to consume more carbs than this? I’m also moderately physically active
Totally awesome thanks for explaining the guy that VSHRED makes it so complicated because he wants you to buy his crap!!!
The only thing he does is just adding HIIT for workouts but you have to buy the whole system to hear everything..
So you just go on YouTube and find videos like this and then you do your own HIIT research.. SIMPLE!!
THANK YOU!!
🙂
This was great, I been tryin to find out about “low carb cycle recipes” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about Nantray Carb Caboodle (should be on google have a look )? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my mate got amazing results with it.
On a high carb day, do you go over maintenance calorie or maintain a deficit for fat loss?
Please respond; low carb days on off days? I workout 5 days in a week PPL and upper lower split,when to do high and low carbs please, loved all the information thank you
230 low carb?! Did you guys also know that the more you cheat during your set the more weight you can lift? Also, racking the weights you use causes joint problems so leave your shit out for betas to clean up.
Before I post this: I am a post-menopausal female, age 58. Anyway, I have been fasting every day for 3 weeks for 24 hours with low carb dinners and losing 1/2 to 1 pound a day6 pounds total, then I had a high carb meal at my mother’s house (chili with beans, salad, BREAD, and a Pepperidge Farm Apple Turnover). I figured I would put on a couple pounds or more.. Nope, the next morning I dropped 3 pounds just like that. Crazy. I guess my body got fooled. The next day, I went straight back to 24 hour fast with low carb dinners. Never gained a pound. Still lost like 1 pound a day. Now I am doing a 72 hour fast. My idea is to do “body confusion”. Tomorrow, I go back to my mother’s for dinner where she is having spaghetti. Then I plan to fast again the very next day. I am keto-adapted and have no problem eating low carb again. Anyway, I hope it works again. I wonder why this happened. Any ideas?

I dont think people who carb cycle are doing it for the purpose of using ketones as a fuel source. People understand they arent going to reach ketosis. I also dont think your analogy with drinking works…. it IS better for someone who drinks alcohol every day to drop down to fewer times per week.
There are other benifits to having a lower carb day than just hitting ketosis and becoming fully fat adapted.
Has anyone used the Custokebon Secrets to lost crazy amounts of weight? Just simply do a google search. On there you will discover an awesome tips about how exactly you can lost a lot of fat. Why not give it a shot? maybe it’s going to work for you too.
I’m 14 years old and I’m skinny fat(you can see my ribs but I have some little fat stored in my stomach and I have skinny wrist and arms but I have fat stored in my muscles) should i do this carb cycling please answer anyone….
Thats why i cheat 1day/week with salted peanut butter with no sugar and no refined veg oils…….
From a bodybuilding perspective but I feel flat all the time, my muscles are noticeably smaller and clothes feel loser to when my muscles used to be full, does this ever return? Or are your muscles constantly flat on a ketogenic diet? Or is there a way to fill them up? Cos I’ve noticed a massive decrease in vascularity also and getting a pump is a lot harder now, mind you I’m only just over a week into strict keto but wanting to know yours or anyone with similar experiences thoughts and opinions
What if I don’t want to be a body builder but muscular lean?
WHAT ABOUT SAY HALF SWEET POTATO 2 TIMES PER WEEK AND SAY SMALL AMOUNT OF WHITE ORGANIC BASMATI RICE ONCE A WEEK? WHAT DO YA THINK DR. BERG.I THINK IM FAT ADAPTED AND WORK OUT HARD WITH WEIGHTS 3 TIMES PER WEEK AND CARDIO 3 TIMES PER WEEK OF SHOULD I JUST STAY COMPLETELY ON KETO?
I’m on the ketogenic diet for a couple weeks now. Coming into the holidays and so I’m considering cycling and some carbs on Thanksgiving and Christmas. I don’t believe that there’s anything wrong with cycling in carbs. Yes there is a transition phase that takes place. But the reality is we were never meant to be in the famine State our entire lives. I think it’s a bit extreme to say somebody can never eat carbs again. The problem is eating too many junk type foods like overly processed foods, sugar and an abundance of carbs. Nobody should eat in abundance of any of that. It’s supposed to be a well-balanced diet. The problem is that the balanced diet as America defined over many years is not truly balanced. I think making carbs out as the enemy is inappropriate and ineffective and inefficient. It doesn’t mean that people can’t be on keto for a long period of time and have wonderful results. Every single person is different. To say someone can never carb cycle goes against what the medical doctors who put this keto diet into place introduced to society. When they introduced the keto diet the keto cynical aka carb cycling diet was a part of their plan. So that right there says what you’re saying is not entirely true. It just depends on the person.
What if you’ve been doing Keto for 6months plus, lost a lot of weight, and have a lot of lean muscle mass. Now you want to increase muscle mass. The options I’ve seen are: 1) Eat a lot more, 2) 1 day carb cycle + Eat a lot more. Is option 2 OK to do? Having just 1 day out of the week to refuel your glycogen storage. Or should you just use gluconeogenesis to refuel your glycogen?
Cheers for this, been searching for “carb cycling women” for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about Nantray Carb Caboodle (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now )? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my brother in law got amazing success with it.
Thanks for the video Dr Berg.
Question… it’s just not feasible for me to never eat carbs again. What happens if once in a while i get something in a gluten free bun/bread?
Please, please do a segment for those of us interested in Ketogenic diet who are not trying to lose weight. I have lived a healthy lifestyle pretty much my whole life and luckily have no health problems. I cut out a lot of carbs a couple of years ago, really just to lose a few lbs. I exercise regularly — swim 3+ miles, walk 4 miles weekly, do weight training, etc. I just turned 65, weigh 112 lbs. and feel great. I discovered the Ketogenic diet a couple of months ago and have reduced my carbs to under 50 grams a day. I feel even better, love the never craving for even “healthy” snacks but I am a little confused about how much to eat to maintain my weight.
How would you calculate your macros for each low and high carb days?
How can we be on a caloric deficit during rest days? 2:20 Or you meant that we should eat less?
So….in what universe is 230 grams carb per day on low days considered low carb!?
Dr Berg I do not lose weight till I eat carbs. Keto made my very depressed and in low energy. My hair falls off
I’m a 38 years old women. I m sad because I love keto but never felt good. I do a cheat day every 3 weeks
