Thanks Warrior and Nat for sharing on carb cycling. It is very interesting. Like Natalia I too find that too many carbs just makes me sleepy and lethargic. I have been doing a very modified version of carb cycling but find that the day after a higher carb day, I am just too uncomfortably bloated and dozing at work. The same pair of pants will be fine one day and tight the next. It reminds me of my Atkins days 10 years ago when a piece of bread would blow me up. I thought that I have since become much more moderate about watching carbs but with the cycling notice that I am still pretty sensitive to them, especially early in the day which is when it's probably best to have them in terms of fueling metabolism.
In any case, I am in Stage 3 and not losing any fat so far, so I am always eager to hear others' experiences. Thanks.
