This is my first time actually carb cycling my plan so far is day 1) zero carbs, day 2) low carb, day 3) Carb load (complex) and then repeat that every three days. I'm hoping it will work out for me, if I need to make some adjustments I'll do so, just kind of seeing what works for now since it's my first time carb cycling brother.

I wouldn't go zero carbs. You at least need carbs first thing with breakfast and post training

That's the thing I am realizing after going all day without carbs man, my head was straight pounding. Not to mention it just didn't feel right not having carbs post workout.... I'll be sure to get them in the a.m. and post workout man.
How do you usually split it up when you carb cycle brother??
Here is what I do. I call it highs and lows. Figure out what your normal carb intake is per day. If you normally take in 200 carbs Ed I take 3 days each week and cut the carbs in half to 100 Ed.Originally Posted by treetrunk

Glad to see you guys talking about this...I've been thinking of trying it too. So, what I have never understood.....
On the low carb days, are you replacing those calories with something else so that your calories for each day stay steady? Or are you cutting calories as well on the low carb days?? Say, you go from 200 carbs to 100. Do you add in 100 protein to compensate for the reduced calories? Or does everything stay the same?
Have never seen that addressed anywhere.
Thanks kubes, I appreciate it man!
No... Brother you dont replace them you need to run without them to create the calorie defecit
Ok that's what I thought....so it's not just that you're cutting carbs...you're cutting calories.
Correct but you are cutting the calories from the carbs
