Get your Dream Body with Carb Cycling

When it comes to looking and feeling great, one’s diet accounts for about 80% of the body you desire. As a fitness professional  for the past 18 years, I have come to realize that women really struggle with this very important part of wellness. Women overeat, undereat, binge,  eat food that has no nutrition, eat low carb, don’t know what to cook or how to cook it, and the list goes on. I have met sooooooo many women that have spent their entire adulthood searching for the perfect diet. They have literally tried them all! What’s worse is the yo-yo dieting ends up ruining their metabolism which causes them to restrict even more calories and gain MORE weight!  That leads to more irritability, more frustration, and more confusion about what to eat to keep their metabolism high. Likewise, many women think that carbs are evil and will make them fat. Here’s the thing, carbs are necessary for your body. Here are some of the benefits of eating “good for you” Complex Carbohydrates:

• They are a primary source of energy
• They feed your muscles
• They fuel your workouts
• They Aid with digestion (when eating complex carbs that are loaded with fiber)
• They Keep your mood happy
• They Help you blast fat
• They Are good for your heart (just 5-10 grams of fiber rich foods like oatmeal and beans can drop your LDL cholesterol by 5%)

.

The problem with most people is that they don’t eat enough carbs or are eating the wrong kind of carbs.  I’m here to say that eating carbs can absolutely help you with your weight loss goals and I’m here to show you a better way to attain optimal fitness.  My go-to approach when it comes to food is incorporating Carb Cycling every day.
I have tons of energy to fuel my workouts, have very little muscle soreness, no brain fog, keep my hormones balanced, and maintain a lean, fit body at 48.

So today, I’d like to introduce you to Carb Cycling  in the hopes that you will see that there is a better way to eat.
First, let’s cover the basics of carb cycling.

What is Carb Cycling?
Carb Cycling is when you alternate between eating days of higher amounts of carbs and days of eating lower amounts of carbs. It’s really that simple.
There are also “Off Days” which allow you to cycle in your favorite "comfort" foods and include more "flexible meals" so that you can still eat lots of the foods you enjoy on a regular basis.
It’s a pretty great formula, don’t you think? Eat great tasting healthy meals, enjoy some of your favorite "comfort" foods, and still get the results you want.

How Does Carb Cycling Work?
In order to see the results you want, Macronutrients (macros for short) are very important. If you aren't familiar with Macros, it simply refers to Protein, Carbs, and Fats. Let's break it down:
Protein: Allows you to build and maintain lean muscle, which in turn helps you to burn more fat. Protein also helps you feel fuller  longer, giving you long lasting energy and satiety.
Carbs: Carbs come in the form of simple and complex. Simple Carbs are the not-so healthy carbs and include foods like sugar, cookies, candy, and most other processed foods. Complex carbs on the other hand, are your healthy carbs. Foods like vegetables, fruit, sweet potatoes, potatoes, brown rice, beans, oats, quinoa, lentils,and more fall into this category.
As you might have already guessed, focusing on getting more Complex Carbs is the best way to go and yields much better results. Not only that, high quality complex carbs are full of dietary fiber and help keep your energy levels and metabolism high.

Fats: Healthy fats play an important role in allowing your body to function at its best. That's why it's important to include healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, seeds, coconut oil, grass fed butter, olive oil, salmon, and more into your meals.

Why Cycle Your Carbs?
When you carb cycle, what you are really doing is keeping your body guessing. One day you are having lower amount of carbs and the next your are shocking the body with a higher carb day.
Essentially, you are telling your body to burn fat on low carb days; then,  when you follow that up with a high carb day, your body gets shocked which allows for you to burn fat while maintaining your lean muscle. In short, when you carb cycle, you keep your body at optimal fat burning levels.
It's a very effective and proven process.

Not only does carb cycling work, but it is also sustainable. This is truly a lifestyle that can be done forever. It’s simple to follow, and when something is easy, you stick with it. On my Carb Cycling Plan,  you get a couple of cheat meals throughout the week. So you NEVER feel deprived.

Because of this simplicity and sustainability, this is the approach that I do myself and the approach that I have my clients do as well. I have found that the best way to be successful with your diet is to have a PLAN that is easy to follow,  which is why I created this 4 week carb cycling plan. I want you to see that eating healthy is delicious……...That eating clean makes you feel great, and that carb cycling will help you get the body of your dreams.
