Just wondering if any VSG'ERS have had any success trying carb cycling? I am 15 months post op and struggling with getting my last few pounds off....I would love to hear about any suggestions regarding the carb cycling method.

    I am 2 months out and do carb cycling. Not perfectly but I raise my carbs to over 40g on the days I exercise and drop them down on the days I do weights. Usually 2-3 high carb days per week. I follow Chris Powell's recommendations. I also vary my workout routine. I want to keep my body guessing so I can avoid as many stalls as possible throughout this process of losing weight.

    Thanks for the response PeggyF1....... I was reading up on the Chris Powell cycling and it seems do-able. Do you watch you calorie intake also?

    My calories range between 400 & 600.

    Good post. I have thought about the carb cycling, have bought Chris's book ( on the long list of books to be read) and was wondering if others had done the cycling. Will be keeping my eye on the responses. Thanks thin2be2013
