WHY CARB CYCLING?• Keep your metabolism as high as possible

so you can maximize fat burn.• Hormone regulation.• Provides options to overcome plateaus.• Provides flexible meal options

HIGH-CARB DAY• Alternate High-Carb and Low-Carb days• Protein and a carb with five meals in the

day• Keep your metabolism running hot

• loading your muscles with glycogen and enough calories to keep your metabolism high

LOW-CARB DAY• Protein and a carb for breakfast

• Remaining four meals consist of a protein, veggies, and a good fat

• Deplete glycogen from liver and muscles cause bodies to burn stored body fat at a fast rate

• Glycogen comes from our good carbs
