Anyone else doing the Turbo Carb Cycling Plan? What are you doing for breakfast? What are you doing for hunger on Low Carb days?

    I want to try this plan. Does it actually work? I love Chris Powell and I am amazed of his work. Kind of curious about that particular cycle.

    I'm on day 3 of the Turbo Cycle, and so far so good. I think the key to not feel hungry is to eat the recommended size of veggies (its a lot of food) and drink lots of water.

    I don't have the book yet but I downloaded the free app on my phone for the Chris Powell plan and I really want to try it. My question Is that on the app he recommends you use protein shakes and another thing called bod-e burn in the afternoon. is that also the case with the book?

    He doesn't push the Bod-e products in the book. But it does help to have the protein shakes to make something in a hurry! I started it this week and use a protein powder that has 100 calories per scoop with almond milk for protein at work.

    I love the turbo carb cycling plan. I am on month 2! Down 5 pounds so far. I only have about 9 pounds to go so that is good for me. It's a great plan that you can do for life. Feel free to friend me if you need support.

    Just started Chris's turbo cycle...day 3...which so far is not too bad...I have to definetly eat lots more veggies...I have to stock up and cut and bag them so they are ready to go...the every 3 hour eating has been a challenge later in the day..sometime I am supposed to eat 1 pm then 4 then 7 but dinner usually comes earlier..

    DO YOU FOLLOW THE EVERY 3 HRS TO THE LETTER???

    Question!

    Those of you that are experienced...

    Do you eat back your exercise calories or completely leave them alone?

    I burn about 700 calories 5-6 days per week and am worried that I will be in calorie deficit.

    I just came across this yesterday and am curious about it too. I know I have way too many carbs (good & bad) so I'm going to try this. The protein shake for breakfast is fine with me because I already drink that (almond/coconut milk, whey protein powder & frozen fruit).

    Any feedback or suggestions would be great - thanks!

    Hi Everyone!
    I'm needing some help, I've started Chris Powell's carb cycling. (Turbo Cycle) What I'm looking for is for someone to give me an idea of what they are eating day to day!
    The book has great info and recipes although a sample menu would be great!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Amy

    I used the Bode by Vemma app but didn't use the shakes and stuff they advertised. I use MFP to logg calories though so didn't stick to their portion sizes. Carb cycling did work well. I added extra celery to fill me up if I was hungry.

    Hi. I've been on the carb cycling program for almost 3 weeks. At my two week weigh in I was down 11.4 lbs. My next weigh in is Thursday and I'm hoping to be down a total of 15 lbs. I eat a lot of veggies, chicken, and Greek yogurt. I really love this diet so far. I'm using the vemma bode products, but it would be easy to substitute their products.

    Snack - 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 cup fresh blueberries
    Lunch - 1 slice whole grain bread, ham slices, tomato
    Snack - 1/2 chicken breast, black beans, over kale salad
    Dinner - 1 serving dreamfields pasta, 1/4 cup light alfredo sauce, broccoli, 1/2 chicken breast

    Low Carb
    Breakfast - fage 0%, granola
    Snack - hard boiled eggs, one cut up red pepper
    Lunch - turkey breast lunch meat, mini babybel cheeses, kale salad
    Snack - 1/2 chicken breast, broccoli, shredded cheese, mushrooms
    Dinner - steak, cheese, green beans

    I measure and weigh everything and go by the book on portion sizes.

    I just downloaded the Vemma Bod•ē app. I expect them to promote their products. Is there another Powell app? I'm still trying to decide if I want to do this carb cycling.

    Just rounding the corner on my first week on Chris's turbo plan. Tomorrow is reward day!! If anyone else is still working at it, add me as a friend and we can support each other. My food journal is unlocked to help me stay accountable.
