Have you tried Chris Powell's "Choose More, Lose More For Life" — Carb Cycling Plan? Or any other carb cycling plan? I'm looking to start his "Turbo Cycle". Currently, day after day I'm consuming the same number or recommended calories to lose 1-2 lbs per week. I'm looking to switch things up to keep my body guessing.

Please share with me if carb cycling has worked for you. I'm also looking for new motivational friends, feel free to add me.

Thanks!

    There may be something to the carb cycling thing if it relates to a workout plan....but your body has a few million years of evolutionary practice of handling carbs so I think it would keep you guessing instead. Almost any restricted calorie diet will lose some initial weight quickly due to water weight getting shed, however, so you have to expect it to taper off pretty quickly to something similar to a basic CICO approach.

    Also, Chris Powell has an endorsement from Dr. Oz, so there's marks off for that.

    But, if it costs you nothing and it doesn't have you doing anything detrimental to yourself, go for it.

    Not really with this approach chris has you do a slingshot week to avoid a plateu. But anyways I love carb cycling and can't wait to get back to it. Took a short break. I have lost 20 lbs with it and its so 3asy to do and stick to.

    You can do whatever type of diet that you want as long as you are in a calorie deficit and lose weight, but if you are not eating at a deficit you will not lose weight on any diet plan.

    Your body does not have he ability to guess anything, or to think, or any such thing. Find the plan for you (even if it is carb cycling) that helps you stay in a deficit and you will lose weight. :)
