I had a medium day yesterday. Because i am carb cycling the body starts to slow down on low days and not burn fat. This is to do with interactions of hormones in the body such as Leptin (fat burning hormone) and Lipoprotein Lipase (Fat storage Hormone) when carbs are low Leptin goes down and Lipoprotein Lipase goes up which is why on crash diets you gain loads of fat following a starvation phase.

Therefore the idea of carb cycling is to force some fat off on the low days but then before the body starts to enter the starvation phase you add in more carbs to level things off and kick up the metabolism (thyroid output) which means that the next day you are back into high metabolism and Low Lipoportein lipase levels so that the fat burning can continue.

Therefore after 2 days on Low carbs and intense training and cardio I have a small rest on Wednesdays and although I do morning cardio I dont train in the evening.

My diet went like this

6.00 - 5g Extreme Glutamine, GH, Effy, 2g HMB

6.30 - 40 minutes cardio

8.00 - 100g Oats, 10g Lecithin (notice I have dropped the peanut butter today to lower fats) 2 scoops extreme protein, 500ml OJ

11.00 - 230g Chicken, 100g Rice.

1.30 - 2 scoops extreme Protein

3.00 - Same as 11

6.00 - Same as 8am but swapped Protein for a protein pudding

9.30 - 300g Coley, 360g Sweet potato, Broccolli

Macros P/C/F 350/460/60

I didnt train last night due to a few reasons

1. Legs still fcuked from Monday so cant raise legs for abs

2. Have a few business issues to sort out and this was the only day I could do it.

In the coming weeks I will train on Wednesday nights but Im progressing well without the need for the extra cardio session just yet.

I will be taking the camera down to the gym tonight for some progress shots/vids. Going to try and get some training shots as well as there's a few exercises for chest that are a bit unusual.
