The main goal of this diet is to manipulate carbs. When our body lacks carbs, it is forced to use fats as energy.

Main principle of the diet is to maintain metabolism active, so if body wanted to slow it down (in the days without carbs intake), we would surprise it with the day when high level of carbs is planned to take in. In short, it is a story about speeding up your metabolism.

Everything You Need To Know About Carbs Cycling Diet

There are 3 different diet plans:

  • High carbs intake day
  • low carbs intake day
  • no carbs intake day

We suggest you begin with this schedule:

  • Monday– low carbs intake
  • Tuesday– no carbs intake
  • Wednesday– high carbs intake
  • Thursday– low carbs intake

  • Sunday– high carbs intake
