    Ooooh! I like the new plan. Are you continuing with the 4 LC/3 off?

    Nice! I’m actually thinking of trying this in some way after all. Our vacation is 2 weeks from Friday, and I want to see more visible changes in my body by then. Maybe I am being too greedy again, but I wouldn’t mind being a bit more aggressive about losing more fat, especially since it doesn’t require following LC daily. I am going to ask my trainer friend about it tomorrow.

    Sample Plan
    MONDAY.........LC
    TUESDAY........OMAD
    WEDNESDAY...LC
    THURSDAY......OMAD
    FRIDAY.............LC
    SATURDAY......OMAD
    SUNDAY..........OMAD

    The carb cycling approach looks interesting. Do you use it to break through plateau?

    Brenda, I like your new plan. It seems to be very simple and simple is the name of the game for me. I like the alternating days and think I will adopt that for myself with my new plan instead of doing my LC days back to back which could prove hard if not planned out. I will stick with OMAD everyday for now though as it is the best thing for me right now. So my new plan will look like:

    MONDAY.........LC OMAD
    TUESDAY.........NO RESTRICTIONS OMAD
    WEDNESDAY....LC OMAD
    THURSDAY......NO RESTRICTIONS OMAD
    FRIDAY........... LC OMAD
    SATURDAY......NO RESTRICTIONS OMAD
    SUNDAY..........NO RESTRICTIONS OMAD

    You are the maintenance queen and are showing us that we can adjust and still be alright. Thank you for sharing your progress.

    Yes and the more low carb days I do the more I lose :)

    That is how I do it for maintenance except I do eat carbs later in the eating window on the 2mad days.

    Thanks Everyone <3

    I tweaked my plan because OMAD on the weekends just aren't working for me...

    On Low Carb days I will eat in a 6 hour window between Noon and 6...On my OMAD days I will eat either Moderate or High Carbs and on the weekends I will eat High Carbs in a 6 hour window between Noon and 6

    Sample Plan
    MONDAY.........LC
    TUESDAY........OMAD
    WEDNESDAY...LC
    THURSDAY......OMAD
    FRIDAY.............LC
    SATURDAY......HC
    SUNDAY..........HC
