Cycle

Using the clean eating principles, I started a new way of eating for me.  It's not a new concept but I've never tried it before.  I'm so grateful to my trainer for taking the time to sit down and talk to me about this because I feel REALLY good about doing this.

So what's the plan?

It's called carb-cycling and basically you change up the amount of carbs you have from day to day to make your body more efficient at using them up.  See this article on Wikipedia for some general information.

I am VERY happy to report that after 5 days of carb-cycling, I am down 3 lbs.

This  Dr Oz video does a good job explaining the basics. Although he talks about alternating high and low carb days, I am doing a high- low- low combination which seems to work very well.

I will also add that I walked around the mall for about an hour on Sunday, did a strength circuit on Monday and cardio on Tuesday so I'm sure the activity helped too!
