Planned Carb Cycle Diet + Shopping List - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

**Great White** · 17-05-2006, 05:58 PM

Hello Gang

Ok, had a couple of hours spare this afternoon, so with the help of a few of the mods, I have put together the routine that myself and clare are going to be following for the next 6 weeks leading upto our holidays, and if we like it, will probabbly carry it on.

Its based on carb cycling with 4 low / 1 medium and 1 high day.

It is designed for maximum fat loss, while still gaining muscle and preserving muscle mass.

There are three word documents attached to this post

Paul: Showing my routine
Clare: Showing Clares routine
Shopping List: Showing the bear minimums needed each week.

I`ll make this a sticky and post our progress here.

Also, feel free to use the attached documents and edit them to fit your own routines.

Mods: If you feel there are any drastic changes needed to any of these documents, please let me know and I will change them.

Oh, and if you find this usefull, please rep me, not had any for a while and im slipping behind ;)

I like that gym routine Paul, I think Ill do that except do abs twice a week.

Okay, Im planning to do cardio 5 times a week, monday to friday.
First week
Mon weds fri - am cardio
tues thurs - hiit (treadmill)
the next week
Mon weds fri - hiit
tues thurs - am cardio and then repeat.

What else can you recommend changing for the cottage cheese please, I hate it and also what could I swap for the 8 eggs? Is it possible to show you my basic plan? Its all properly set out with times and stuff so its easy to understand. Adding more veg into the routine isnt going to up the cals too much either as I do like my veg!

One other thing, can this plan be used for either a natural and a person on a cycle using a cal restricted diet?

If not, no worries, youve posted the carbcycling routine for us anyway. Thanks

I think you should shy away from the bread and choose a slow carb like apples or something that has fiber in it.

Also I think you will have more success with some vegetables in there instead of the cottage cheese. more fiber and lower GI.

looks like your works your abs abit too much ? but dont pay any attention to me ive only be training for 4 months

i'm a newbie

Bigdav · 24-05-2006, 10:57 PM

Erm 8 whole eggs contain a hell of a lot more fat than 20 grams

**Great White** · 25-05-2006, 09:43 AM

Yes, its 40g, sorry dave

Either way, still be doing them.

Week 1 results - Lost 5lb in a week. Leaning up, abs are coming through well, all is good.

Thanks

Paul

Paul mate I hope you are getting your meat from freshmeat2u cause they have a wicked sale on at the mo and it'll save you a bit on the bill !

What is the target for you and the missus? Do you expect the loss to get smaller as the weeks go on?

Good luck with it!

**Great White** · 25-05-2006, 12:19 PM

Yeah, 5lb was a bit of a shock really mate, but its only water weight to start really.

Im aiming for 1lb a week from now till holiday, which would shred me up nice ;)

Supposed to be good yeah, i'm having a BBQ next month to I'm going to order their BBQ pack which is only £50 reduced from £100, so I can stick it in the freezer. I'll also get my chicken from there too if it turns out ok....i'll let you know!

Paul, 1 lb a week should be sweet - I think you may do more so any more than a lb is a bonus - its always good to set targets low and then get pleasing results. Lets see some pics when after the 6 weeks - not of you, of the missus
