Introducing Carb Cycling, a method which is well known to high performance athletes, and with my experience and further adaptations I can provide you with a safe, bespoke and personal nutrition plan, designed according to your needs.
The Carb Cycling diet can be an excellent choice for people who aim to improve nutrition, health and physical performance. It presents benefits to any goals such as muscle gain, fat loss, veganism etc. The mechanics behind this diet are results of short and long-term research and trials.
Instead of following rather strict diets which consist in consuming either excessively low or high amounts of carbohydrates, this balanced diet can be very beneficial for you, considering both physical and psychological factors.
In order to optimise carbohydrates consumption, the Carb Cycling diet was invented, which is an approach that consists of alternating these macronutrients daily, weekly or monthly.
made for you.
Apart from increased performance during workouts, other advantages are: goodbye Plateau!
The human body tents do adapt itself to changes. If you do not know what that means then try and remember when you first started exercising: at first it could have been hard and exhausting, then after repeated sessions it all feels easier and more achievable.
When on the Carb Cycling diet, you will notice a similar experience. Initially your body tackles the lack of carbohydrates using fat deposits as source of energy – promoting faster and more efficient weight loss. Eventually, the body may adapt to the new change which can cause the metabolism to slow down and delay weight loss.
Although, when cycling carbohydrates, you can stimulate you body to alternate the sources of energy which reduces the plateau effect.
Insulin resistance is related to the increased risk of developing many diseases such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Not to mention weight gain, since Insulin resistance causes increased presence of sugar in the bloodstream, leaving the body more susceptible to the accumulation of fat.
When you switch back to consuming less amounts of carbohydrates after a loading period, the body enters a state of "carbohydrate shock" which positively impacts hormone production.
On days which carbohydrates are reduced, insulin sensitivity is improved. Insulin is the hormone responsible for controlling blood glucose (sugar) levels. This is especially important for preventing a condition known as insulin resistance.
Being a diet based on alternating amounts of carbohydrates consumption cravings are kept at a minimum promoting well-being and enabling continuity to the diet plan without interruptions due to energy crashes.
