Carb Cycling

Ok, some of you need to update your blogs! What is a girl to do when her toddler is sleeping and she's bored out of her mind? Clean? Do something productive? Nope. Just not feelin the vibes today. lol
The past few days I've been re-reading through BFFM and going through different articles on fitness websites....various diets, workouts, etc. I found some great webpages, had them all up on my screen......and I'll be damned if the power didn't go out of me. Fun times. Anyway, I've been reading up on carb cycling, and I just might be willing to give it a shot here soon. There's only about 1 1/2 wks until I leave for TN though, so I think I'll wait until I'm there and settled to begin. I'll get there on a Tuesday night, so that gives me the rest of the week to settle in, get into a wake up & workout routine, and shop for some healthy eats. I know it can be key to count your calories and figure out your C/P/F ratios, but I had the biggest headache today trying to write up an eating plan and get all the ratios just right. One article on Bodybuilding.com states to have High, Low, & No Carb Days. One way to carb cycle in BFFM has you doing 3 Low Carb Days followed by a High Carb Day. The Bodybuilding article took me by surprise when I read that it lists "mayonnaise" and "heavy whipping cream" in the FATS section. As in, the fats you can eat while doing this. Wow. Never thought I'd see those on the list. BFFM kept it more like you'd imagine for your fats- Fish oil, Flax oil, natural pb, avocado, etc... other than that, they were pretty similar. I don't usually count calories, and I think this may be why I feel like I've stalled. Could I be under eating? I know the whole "Eat to Lose" thing but I wonder if I'm missing the mark. I feel like I'm eating a lot but when I tried adding it up, I really think I'm falling too short on the calories. Time to eat up.
