Cyclic Low Carb Experiment

CLC Program Break Down
Tomorrow I will be starting my 8 Week Cyclic Low Carb and Training Experiment. Nathan Holiday ( http://www.nathanholiday.com/ ) will be providing me with a meal plan and a weekly training regiment. The Idea behind CLC is to deplete your Glucose storage by eating very low carb/calorie, moderate fat, mod/high protein for 3 days (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and the Morning of Friday are all low carb) Then from Friday PM and all day Saturday I carb LOAD!! (low fat, moderate protein, high carb) During this carb load phase I will be keeping to strict paleo foods like sweet potato, pumpkin, and fruits like berries and apples. I will be posting my food dairy as well as my training log. My goal is to stay with this program and improve my Body Comp. Lately I feel like I have been in a Rut as far as training and food goes. I had a knee injury that kept me away from a lot of strength movements as well as running and as a result, most of strength numbers are down and my weight has gone up!! Not exactly the results you aim for. So I just think I need something to be accountable for and actually have a goal to my training. Because just training is doing nothing for me at the moment! I'm a cheater.. I will cheat on my diet unless I have a reason not to. I sit at home and try to justify my cheat meals while I'm sitting back eating chocolate bars and ice cream.. Well no more.. Ive done this before and I can do it again! So here we go!!
