Prove to me that Carb Nite isn't s***.

I know this is an old post, but I would like to share my experience with you. I have been weight lifting for several years, quite strong, but always had extra fat on my frame. Dieting has always been my bane. I read about Carb Nite and decided to give it a try. The first few days were the hardest. I have stuck with the program for 3 months. I went from 240lbs to 208lbs. Due to the carb re feeding night, I was able to maintain my muscle mass while burning pure body fat. I eat less than 30 grams of carbs every day, on my car nite, I eat cookies, pizza, etc. (Whatever sounds good). I use ketostix urinary reagent test (available at most pharmacies) to make sure I am in a ketogenic state. It takes me only a day to raise my ketone levels up to moderate/high level after my carb nite. I highly recommend this diet to anyone looking to lower body fat while maintaining muscle mass.

Carb binging takes your body out of "ketosis," which is the process of burning stored fat in place of consumed carbohydrates. My personal experience indicates this is true. Even eating a big piece of bread will stop weightloss for at least 2 days.

ketosis is the break down of triacylglycerol, fat that is already in the body stream.

it seems a minor point, but people seem to think that a low carb diet will some how burn body fat faster or better then other diets. Your body switches to using fat as a primary energy source, but most of the triacylglycerol available is going to be from the food you eat (which is mostly fat/protein on a low carb diet).

You will only access your stored body fat at the rate in which you create a calorie defecit, same as any other diet.

Carb refeeding is not a concept that fat people need concern themselves with.

lol.
