    I am going to try it, im starting the turbo! I was wondering on this though, on a HC day do you think this would be a good breakfast if i eliminate the cheese (fat)? http://www.theyummylife.com/Egg_McMuffin

    On high carb days I eliminate the healthy fats and just go with protein, carbs, and veggies for my meals.

    Eat a healthy HC breakfast everyday! For example, English muffin, bacon or sausage, egg and cheese...or oatmeal with some sort of protein! I have purchased the Bod-e Shakes and use those for breakfast. The key is meal planning

    I just started and am in my second week. I am following Chris Powell's book too. So far it is going really well. I do struggle with snack ideas, especially on low carb days.

    My co-worker has lost 12.8 lbs in 2 weeks doing carb cycling. You guys are awesome for trying this! I don't have the discipline for it. LOL. Good luck!

    Hi! Nuts are a good snack. Plain yogurt with fruit added. Bell pepper strips. Nut butters w a banana thats green. Smoothy.

    I do BBQ or spicy pork rinds, Mini Pepporinis w/cubed cheese, Egg whites mixed with unsweetened cocoa-cook in a little skillet on both sides-once it comes out add a Tbsp of cream cheese or Peanut butter. ---YUMMMO!

    Everything I have ever read about carb cycling seems aimed for bodybuilders. So can this be used for just weight loss too? And how does this differ from traditional calorie counting to lose weight?

    Uh oh Pork Rinds have no carbs. **mind blown**
    I just started cycling last week, so that's a great snack.
