Carb cycling

[Sacario]

Been wanting to try a carb cycling diet and was wondering what yall thought on this guy's approach. I'll first use it on a cut I'm starting next month.

You will get a better response by writing out his approach. I don't imagine many people watching the video.

Overall, carb cycling does work. Training day vs non training day or high/medium/low carb day. Weight loss comes down to calories in vs calories out but carb cycling allows one to prioritize certain training sessions.

I've gone to training vs non-training day as my delineator over the past year. Before that I was always something close to 4 med, 1 high, 2 low.

Depending on what is the reason for it and what's the actual goal of your's carbs cycling either training vs non traing or mid/high/low are very good approaches to manage your digestion, insuline sensitivity (more like a bro science but anecdotely it is working on a lot of my client and myself as well) and can even boost your performence when you're on deficit so yea, great approach to try for sure

I agree with this. I think people can overcomplicate it for no reason. I don't see the need for medium days

I do training days high protein, high carb, trace fat. Majority of carbs pre and post workout.

Non training days are high protein, trace carbs and more fat.

Less calories on the non training days.

The low/mid/high has it's place but more so in the prep then offseason (unless you targeting specific days on weaker body parts according to the protocol for example), but most of my guys just using training/non training as it's the simplest way and also give you a peace of a mind if you need to take 2days rest in a row for example .
