What is Carb Cycling? 7 days Indian menu of carb cycling for weight loss (Break the Weight Plateau)

“It’s been a month and I am still weighing the same. None of the diet or exercise is working”. We hear this quite often. Ain’t this a very common problem we face with a long duration of following some diet? This situation is known as a plateau that we reach after we lose a certain amount of weight. No matter what you do, the weight will not budge. This is the time you need to adapt to smart and healthy eating accompanied by an appropriate exercise regime. Carb cycling is one such method we can break free from the weight loss plateau.

How does carb cycling work?

Carb cycling is a high-level nutritional modification in carbohydrate intake to prevent a fat loss plateau or a weight loss plateau. It not only maintains metabolism but also enhances workout performance. It is a short term diet strategy that can be used by athletes and active people. Most suitable to people who are into intensive workouts and HIIT workouts.

With extremely low carbohydrates the body’s performance starts deteriorating. Thus, bouts of carb cycling in between helps to reach the target fat loss.

What is carb cycling?

  • Carb cycling is an advanced diet strategy. It requires a lot of advance planning in comparison to other weight-loss diets.
  • There are 3 phases in carb cycling namely:

Phase I – High carbohydrate (1800 calorie diet plan which is high in carb, moderate in protein, and low in fat).

Phase II – Moderate carbohydrate (1500 calorie diet plan which is moderate in carb and protein and low in fat).

and Phase III – Low carbohydrate days (1200 calorie diet plan which is low in carb, moderate in protein and high in fat)

  • Carb cycling can be followed on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, depending upon your health score and workout level. 
  • A typical weekly carb cycling diet may include two high-carb days, two moderate-carb days, and three low-carb days.

The Science behind Carb cycling diet:

Carb cycling involves modifying carbohydrate intake and adjusting with the weight loss target. Carb Cycling is all about  Manipulating the macros in your diet. 

High Carb Day:

  • High carbs increase the glycogen stores in the muscles. This leads to improved performance during the workout or sports as well as prevents the breakdown of muscles. 
  • High carbs ensure the right secretion of the hormone leptin and ghrelin. These are the hunger hormones. Ghrelin increases appetite. It signals the brain and reports hunger, making you feel hungry. While Leptin is a hunger suppressor. 

Low Carb Day:

  • On a low carb day, your body switches to fat for its energy purpose. Hence improving the body’s ability to burn fat and mass the metabolic activity flexible.
  • Low carb diets are reported to improve insulin sensitivity in the body.  

Now that we know what is carb cycling and understand the science behind this technique, it is important to plan your physical activity and workout around your carb intake cycle.  This table will help you understand the activity and carb distribution for a 1-week carb cycling pattern. Here are 7 days Indian menu of carb cycling for weight loss.
