In this episode Jupe and Amanda discuss the dietary practice of cycling carbs. This method is most used by bodybuilders prior to competition in order to fill out muscle glycogen stores without looking bloated; as well as endurance athletes to fill glycogen stores before events. This can also be an effective means to dieting for long term progress and adherence. Jupe and Amanda will discuss their own experiences with carb cycling and if they would recommend it for you to try. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/makefithappen/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/makefithappen/support
Wow! Thank you all for submitting such amazing questions, I think this is the best "Ask Me Anything" episode yet. In this episode, I answer questions on: 1. Carbohydrate Cycling 2. Intermittent Fasting 3. Structural Imbalance Testing 4. Underrated Mistake People Make With Their Health 5. What My Main Motivator Is 6. How Effective Are Peptides 7. Lab Testing 8. How I Calculate Calories/Macros ...And a TON more! Hope you enjoy.
In this broadcast, Donna Reish, blogger, curriculum author of 100+ language arts/writing books, and Intermittent Fasting teacher, teaches listeners about Carbohydrate Cycling—continuing from last episode’s overview to exactly how to figure out your TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure) and how to figure out how many calories you need to weigh your goal weight (and maintain it). She then takes listeners through three levels of difficulty with Carb Cycling in order to see what works best for each person. She explains how Carb Cyclers “cycle” through their high carb and low carb days in order to pair it with their level of activity and energy output (especially with HIIT and large muscle strength training). She teaches readers the values of the three macro-nutrients and how we can incorporate all three in a healthy IF eating protocol. Donna teaches readers the details of the most difficult way of Carb Cycling and asks listeners to determine if that level of daily math and recording is necessary for each one’s goals. Finally, she helps listeners determine if any level of Carb Cycling is right for them—or if they can get the same results through Appetite Correction, long fasting, insulin balancing, etc. Today’s broadcast is sponsored by Plexus Ease—Donna explains the four natural, plant-based ingredients in this amazing pain-relief/anti-inflammatory product: Tumeric, Bromelain, Serrapeptaise, and Green Lipped Mussel.

In this broadcast, Donna Reish, blogger, curriculum author of 100+ language arts/writing books, and Intermittent Fasting teacher, teaches listeners about Carbohydrate Cycling—and how it might be used with Intermittent Fasting. She begins by reminding listeners that if IF alone is working well, you are not plateaued desperately, or you are not working on the last stubborn 20 pounds, you probably want to keep doing what you are doing. However, we can all benefit from learning about what our bodies need, macro-nutrients, and healthier eating, so listen on! Donna gives an overview of Carb Cycling in general—how it isn’t necessarily a “low carb” or “keto” diet but rather is a focus on switching up fuel sources day by day and correlates with low intensity and strength training exercise days. Finally, in the first half of this two-part broadcast, Donna rants and raves about this approach—how it is healthy to focus on macronutrients, why it helps us incorporate real foods more fully, how we don’t need to villainize entire food groups, why it’s better to up carbs than it is to have cheat days, and the positive effect Carb Cycling can have mentally and emotionally compared to other “diets.” Finally, she recommends that listeners ask themselves how different this approach might be to other restrictions and how they might already do some of these things intuitively. Donna leaves listeners with the option of receiving a free sample of the Plexus pink drink, today’s broadcast sponsor. (Join Donna in Broadcast #28 when she explains three ways to Carb Cycle and teaches IF’ers how they can use a low math method to look at their entire week and make better food choices.)

Carbohydrates are not evil, but avoiding them can help you to train your body to use fat for fuel more efficiently. One of the ways to do this is with carbohydrate cycling. Today, I am going to break down this nutritional tool that can help you in reaching your health and fitness goals.
The new year is here! And I am sure everyone has their new year's resolutions. The most common, eating better and losing weight. With the holiday season (speaking for myself), there has been way too much sugar, treats, alcohol and just too much food in general. It has also been wonderful to spend quality time with family and loved ones, but too much wine, dessert and too little/no exercise (again, speaking for myself). I am more than ready to eat better, exercise and stop wearing yoga pants all the time.We have a program to help you (and me) eat better, feel better, lose and maintain weight. Specifically belly fat, because that is where we have all gained it. This program is called the Keto-Carb-Cycling Program (KCCP). First off, caloric restriction is not going to work. We have all reduced our calories, suffered from hunger, cravings and being a little moody. Unfortunately, you lose a small amount of weight, which is mainly water, and muscle. Then binge and gain it all back. This program incorporates a keto diet, intermittent fasting with carbohydrate cycling. The whole point is to increase and balance your metabolic hormones. While at the same time, keeping you satiated and not restricting calories long-term. Individually, a Ketogenic Diet, Intermittent Fasting, and Carbohydrate Cycling are very popular and do help with weight loss. However, each has its pros and cons. After working with many patients over the last 14 years, we have found that by combining the three approaches together works best. It is more healthy to our systems and maintainable over time. Finally, you can start losing weight and keep it off. What is a Ketogenic Diet? A keto-diet is reducing your total carbohydrate intake so that you go into ketosis. Usually, our bodies run by glycolysis, which is the process of utilizing carbohydrates/glucose for fuel. By reducing your carbohydrate intake below 30 grams daily, your body cannot run by glycolysis. It must switch to burning ketone bodies for fuel, which is ketosis. When you are in ketosis, you are burning fat. So part of the KCCP is to put your body into fat-burning mode. Although, it is not ideal to be in ketosis for an extended length of time. Long-term ketosis is hard on the thyroid, can cause electrolytes/minerals deficiencies and drop neurohormones like serotonin. That is why we have combined intermittent fasting with carb-cycling to work together for weight loss, metabolism, and overall health. What is Intermittent Fasting: Intermittent fasting (IF) is eating your meals in a 6 to an 8-hour window and fasting for 16 to 18 hours a day. Commonly IF is eating meals between noon and 8 pm. A lot of people tell me they already do this eating style, but they can't lose weight. They skip breakfast and have lunch and dinner only. Most of the time, this pattern turns into chronic caloric restriction, which is why we recommend adding in more carbs on a strategic basis. What is carb-cycling: Carbohydrate cycling is adding starchy carbohydrate to the diet. The carb-cycling is done on a specific schedule and eaten only in the evening. A starchy carb might be a sweet potato, beans or rice. Having the carbohydrate at night will help keep neurohormones up such as serotonin and helps improve sleep quality. It also fills up your glycogen stores in your mu
