When my clients get started with TRIM, they’re usually new to Carb Cycling. Or if you’re reading this, maybe you’re already familiar with Carb Cycling but looking for a way to incorporate it into your lifestyle. Finally, you may be wondering why carb cycling for women is an effective weight loss strategy.
So what’s the solution?
Carb cycling! Carb cycling allows for low carb days that deplete glycogen and burn fat followed by planned high carb days that increase thyroid output and help you control hunger.
With Carb Cycling, you’ll continue to see fat loss, increased energy levels and improvements to your overall body composition. Carb cycling improves insulin levels so your body stores less fat.
Paired with effective workouts, carb cycling will help you break through those dreaded plateaus so you can maintain your weight loss and truly look and feel your very best long-term in a healthy and sustainable way.
This is just one of the scientifically-proven weight loss strategies we use in my 8-week group program, TRIM.
What Is Carb Cycling?
Carb Cycling is alternating low carb days with high carb days to maximize fat burn and energy levels. Carb cycling for women allows for planned high carb days that increase thyroid output and help you control hunger.
Why Not Eat ONLY Low Carb or Keto?
Our bodies are smart. They’re designed to adapt to whatever we’re doing. This is why if you’ve ever done a low carb diet like the keto diet, you may have experienced a plateau if you stuck with it long enough.
If you eat low carb and high fat all the time (like keto recommends), your body will get used to using fat for energy. Eventually, you’ll stop seeing results.
Here’s the important part: Long term carbohydrate and/or calorie restriction can lower your metabolic rate and negatively affect your hormones.
This is THE biggest reason women find themselves at weight loss plateaus.
You may have had an experience like this: When you first start any kind of significantly restriction diet and for a short period of time thereafter, you will see results. However, over time your metabolic rate will decline.
Once your metabolic rate declines, weight loss will halt and you’ll need to restrict calories even more to continue losing weight, thus lowering your metabolic rate once again.
Not only is this a terribly unhealthy way to live, it’s also incredibly frustrating and completely UN-sustainable!
