    The Chicken recipe turned out great. Posted to pinterest on the low carb board.

    Yes ive done it a few times. I treat it like I would eat on a high carb day for 6 days. It was easier to not go and eat the whole house that way.

    Low carb day and lunch with my mom. This should be challenging.

    Well try having a salad with meat or a sandwich without bread or chicken with broccolli or salmon with carrots. Soup. Etc. Or share a meal with mom. Ive done this and uts a bit weird at first but completely doable!

    Low carb day out to eat would be hard if you follow the plan to a tee. At first a salad seems like the best choice but without fat you would not be able to have anything by vinegar and lemon for dressing. Maybe there will be a meat and veggies dish at the restaurant?

    Thanks for posting the crock pot recipe!

    That's funny you mention the slingshot method. I've never tried it but I saved his post from Facebook in case I ever need to do it LOL!

    Sorry to intrude ladies but this carb cycling sounds interesting. Do you have any resources I should check out?

    Hi everyone. I do carb cycling and calorie cycling Usually do mon and thu ( 500 calorie-carb fast days). Then tue/wed/sun at my TDEE ( 100g carbs average) then fri/sat are high carb/ higher cal. I was low carb, then paleo for about two yers, but found that I just binged whenever I had any carbs, so this is intuitively right for me. I'm here to lose about 3kilos ( 7lbs) not much and then to be a happy maintainer.

    Saitiffeh- some of us are following Chris Powels Chose to Lose principals. There is also resources under bodybuilding.com Basically we alternate our days from low carb to ( higher ) carb days with a reward meal or day a week. Some people only do high carb a couple times a week , with the rest being low carb.... It's a great way to keep the body guessing while keeping calories and carbs inline... Stick around this thread...we love helping others !

    I've been doing some googling and it looks like a plan that would really work with my lifestyle! I think it's time to look up recipes and food ideas :)

    If you Pinterest , we started a couple of boards that may help. But basically it's protein and veggies and fat for low carb.... High carb is protein, veggies, and starchy type veggie or breads/ pasta, or fruit.... If you look back at earlier posts you will find some other specifics. It's really clean eating...as you do low carb a couple if days you'll find your body flushing out excess water...and high carb days are a burst of energy for some people.

    Liza, how much total have you lost then ? Did you notice the loss more in the scale or in your sizing ?

    I would like to see those boards if possible! I'm Pitneresting as we speak hah :)

    My only issue is that I am unfortunately a picky eater when it comes to veggies :blush: So that will require me to work around it a little. There are some I like though so I will take a closer look :) So many options to explore!

    If it makes you feel better I'm not big on veggies either. Sometimes I even skip them (I know it's bad). I usually can do salsa, and I like veggies I don't have to chop like mushrooms since I'm lazy Lol!

    I have found I can stand things like brocolli more if they are boiled... but not to boiled, you know? I'm going grocery shopping tomorrow and will bring home some zucchini I think and aspagarus... maybe cook them with some olive oil and spices and give it a shot. I have found some other really great ideas and recipes too. I will take a few days to make my food plan and then attempt carb cycling.

    It's funny, my 7 year old teases me for being picky!
