Carb Cycling

[gettinfit@42]

I am interested in learning more about carb cycling. When I search many articles and books pop up. Can you recommend a great article, website or book that explains carb cycling in simple form? I'm in need of losing a significant amount of weight.

Thanks!

Chris Powell (trainer from Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition) has two weight loss/fitness books that are based on carb cycling. I've never used his programs personally. I saw him describe the principles on Dr Oz.

His earlier book is Choose to Lose and his follow-up book is Choose More Lose More for Life.

Here's a link to his blog where he describes the basics of carb cycling: Chris Powell — Carb Cycling 101

HTH!

Thank you very much. I did come across his books while searching but the reviews said his books were hard to understand, so I bypassed. Maybe I'll give them a second look.

Thx!

John Kiefer is a highly respected person on this subject. You could can search his name or carb backloading.

Eat to perform is an awesome informational blog I follow that talks about when to eat your carbs and how much. Most people eat way under what is needed to perform at high intensity, which only hurts a person in the long run. He has many paleo converts that still remain mostly paleo, but have started following the eat to perform guidelines.

www.eattoperform.com is the website. Forgot to include that.
