Carb Cycling: Because Who Doesn’t Love Playing Mind Games with Their Body? 🍞

So, you’ve decided to try carb cycling, huh? Great choice, because who wouldn’t want to eat carbs like a normal person some days and then pretend carbs don’t exist on others? Carb cycling is like being in a toxic relationship – one day they’re all “I love you,” and the next, they’re like “no carbs for you, you fattening temptress.”

Here’s how it works: on low-carb days, you’ll act like you’re on a low-carb diet… which is basically just pretending bread doesn’t exist while staring longingly at your sandwich. But then, on high-carb days, you’ll eat carbs like they’re going out of style. Pasta, rice, donuts — basically, you’re living your best “cheat meal” life, but for an entire day. Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too? I tried carb cycling for a week, and now my body feels like it’s got a split personality disorder. One minute I’m a low-carb monk, the next I’m a pasta-devouring party animal.

Why does it work? Simple: on high-carb days, you fuel your muscles and improve workout performance. Low-carb days? Well, your body learns how to burn fat. It’s like your body’s own version of a motivational speaker: “You can do it, but first, suffer a little.”

How to do it: Pick 2–3 workout days to crank up the carbs, while keeping the rest of the week low. It’s like being on a carb-based dating app: high days are swiping right, low days are ghosting you.

I don’t know how to say this and I don’t know whether this is healthy, but hey - welcome to the world of carb cycling – where your body gets confused, but in a somewhat productive way (if done right, toxic if not)!
