carb manipulation off cycle?

ad

could carb manipulation work off cycle? im advising a girl that wants to drop a few pounds. she was planning on going no carb. i told her thats a horrible idea cuz she'll blow up when carbs get introduced into her diet again. could carb cycling do anything for her?

She wont blow up if she adds them gradually and eats veggies and whole grains...deff need to change the way she eats carbs for life though or it will come back...its a life commitment;-)

Carbs is what its all about. high protein and low carbs will make anyone lose weight. As far as gaining when she stops the low carb diet I say "Why stop?". Now I said low carbs not no carbs. Also the carbs need to be complex carbs. Specially green veggies. Most of them will have a negative calorie effect.

I agree...Broccoli is probibly one of the best...its a natual anti estrogen and has cancer protecting properties as well.

Before I did my first cycle I had great success using the Paleo Diet. I will go back once I hit PCT to stay lean and further lower my BF. I think cutting starches and sugars in general is a good habit to get into anyways. Restrict carbs to 100 to 150 grams per day and preferrably before your workout or before noon. This is my 2cents.

That's exactly what I'm doing. Zero starches zero carbs after 2pm. My carb intake is from the oats I put in my breakfast shake

Yeah Buddy! Great diet for off cycle. I feel like I needed some carbs on my first cycle to help build mass.
