I'm thinking about doing the carb cycling diet by Chris Powell. Does anyone know anything about it?

    I eat carbs and I cycle.

    It's working well so far.

    I'm doing it right now. I don't weigh myself but I feel no change in my body or how clothes fit. I follow it pretty close too. Maybe I need to give it some more time.

    I lost weight (2 1/2 lbs avg per week) carb cycling. I received some good advice on one of these postings to only have 2 cycles...low and high per week. I had 3. It made everything simple and I took off!!!

    BTW I wasn't using Chris Powells method...haven't read the book, but body building sites are full of great info. Body builders want to cut fat and not muscle so they are incredibly smart in how they approach nutrition and cutting weight with carb cycling.

    On carb cycling I lost 1-2 lbs every week. There wasn't a week where I didn't lose. Worked perfect form me.

    But if you lose 1-2 pounds a week, that doesn't seem any different than eating what you want and watching the calories.
    I was contemplating that same program too.
    But if it's just 1-2 lbs, I don't see that it's worth it. :(
