Carb Cycling- An Experiment Gone Right!



Recommended Posts

You know something I'm realizing with my own, as I look back at my logs, my fat content is WAY too high for the low carb days. I've got get that down considerably.

Just something for everyone else carb cycling to keep an eye on!

Thanks guys! You are so sweet and encouraging!

Today I got a little crazy and ate as follows:

1200 cals (don't know how i let that happen :o... I try to stay closer to 1000 )

147g of carbs. Was tough (never thought i'd say that!) but I ate a clif bar for lunch which supplied me with 30g of carbs. I'm not a fan of clif bars because they're 270 calories/bar (!!!!!) but I figured it would be good to get more carbs in....

86g of Protein B)

Onwards to no-carb day!!!!

No weight loss the last couple days, but I'm also very sure my low carb days had WAY too much fat. So, tomorrow I'll be doing low carb with less fat. It's a learning experience!

..I also started a new pack of birth control pills on Sunday, last week was my off week. If my weight stalls again because of the stupid pill, I'm calling my gyno to see if she can put me on something else.

Good point about the fat, I never really keep tabs on that. Thanks for the heads up!

How many grams of fat per day do you aim for?

Hope all goes well with your birth control!!

I think I messed up by having carbs at dinner. Oops! I only had 90 carbs today for my high day. Was so busy at work I didn't have time to eat everything in my lunch bag. There is always tomorrow!

I'm not aiming for fat grams as much as I am percentage. I looked back at my logs and I saw my percentage was a whopping 51% fat! That's WAY too much!!

I think I need to keep it to a maximum of like 35% for the low carb days. I'm going to give it a try and see if it's doable tomorrow.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
