For anyone trying to lose weight, the word "carbs" is akin to blasphemy. Carb is the age-old enemy. Carbs are the evil nemesis of WeightWatchers everywhere. Carbs mean calories and weight loss requires cutting calories.
It has been the traditional belief that foods packed with carbs will cause you to pack on the pounds. Even healthy carbs like starchy vegetables and whole grains are high in carbs, so many classic diets restrict them as well. The result is that we have become to believe that carbs are bad for us. Not only do they hinder weight loss, but they are downright unhealthy.
Well, science has recently turned that belief upside down by telling us that carbs may be your best ally in the battle to lose weight. Leveraging carbs to help us lose weight is called carb cycling. it is a method whereby eating carbs can lead to weight loss rather than weight gain!
Carb cycling is done through a weekly eating plan with a few basic rules to stick to. Other than that, you have a full run of what you eat. Your meal plans can consist of all your favorite healthy foods, including carbs. You even have cheat days to indulge in your less healthy favorite foods to satisfy your cravings!
Why Is The 7-Day Plan Different?
Many of us struggle with our weight and strive to be fit and healthy. We've all experimented with different diets and eating regimens. We’ve tried diets that promised amazing weight loss, in X number of days. We've tried diets that promised we'd never feel hungry or sluggish. We’ve tried diets that you could eat everything and lose weight – only to find that "everything" meant in half spoonfuls.
We have been let down repeatedly. We either fall off the wagon and binge like crazy or get too discouraged to continue. Most, if not all traditional diets simply do not work for us.
What makes the carb cycling plan different? First, it makes a lot of sense because it addresses our metabolism rathert han our stomach. After all, it’s our metabolism that burns calories and melts off those pounds.
Secondly, although it has been recently hailed as a breakthrough in the field of healthy eating and weight loss, it has been popular among athletes for decades, especially those doing high resistance training. Many of them rely on carb cycling to build lean muscle and boost their energy levels.
Thirdly, a carb recycling plan is not as restrictive as other diets. It's therefore easy to follow.
Fourthly, the plan is used only to achieve shorter-term weight-loss goals, after which you must stop. However, you can use elements of it to develop lifelong healthy eating habits to stay fit and healthy for the rest of your life.
This is a very simple guide for the layman who wants to try the 7-day carb cycling plan. We will not go into the deeper technicalities of how carb recycling works, the different hormones it triggers nor discuss complex measurements.
It will explain how and why carb cycling works, and what you need to do to put together your 7-day carb cycling plan. The results will speak for themselves.
So, if you are considering giving the carb cycling plan a try, this book will help you get started.
Here, I must insert the traditional disclaimer. If you suffer from any chronic illness or are taking any sort of medication, do consult your doctor before embarking on this plan.
Chapter 1 - How Carb Cycling Works
Remember how those old railway trains used to run?
Workers had to stand in front of a huge coal furnace, shoveling in huge quantities of coal. If the furnace was regularly fueled, the train would keep running at full speed. If the coal input slowed down, the train would lose speed. If the furnace was not regularly fed with coal, the train would come to a standstill.
Our body's metabolism is very similar to this process.
Carbs are the main food group that "fuels" our metabolism so that it burns calories and gives us energy. Carbs are also very filling. Therefore, diets that cut out or strictly limit carb intake make us feel tired and sluggish. They also make us irritable, hungry and more likely to binge.
With the 7-day carb cycling plan, a person consumes carbs to boost metabolism. The plan causes the body to use crab-rich foods to function at the optimal peak, burning fat and building muscle. The result is weight loss with less flab. It's that simple! This is what makes carb cycling unique and revolutionary.
But there's a catch. This doesn't mean going overboard with the carbs and eat tons of them day in, day out. The catch is that you follow a 7-day plan where you eat more carbs on certain days and less or no carbs on other days.
This allows your body to optimally "cycle" your carb intake so that you lose weight and build muscle mass.
The theory behind this is that on the days when your carb intake is low and fat intake is higher, your body is forced to burn fat for energy. This is what causes weight loss. The purpose of the High carb days is to keep your metabolism fueled and functioning peak level, providing you with energy.
What Is The 7-day Plan?
The weekly plan alternates high carb days with low carb days to keep your metabolism in a regular cycle of fat burning.
On high carb days, you can increase your carb intake while decreasing your fat intake. On low carb days, you can choose to eat small quantities of carbs or eliminate them altogether, while increasing fat and protein intake.
Athletes and people who exercise regularly often choose to synchronize their high carb days with practice or workouts when their energy levels are high. You may want to consider this for certain days when you are particularly active.
A typical 7-day plan looks like this:
Monday: High carb intake Tuesday: Low carb intake Wednesday: High carb intake.
Thursday: Low carb intake.
Friday: High carb intake.
Saturday: High carb day – or the option of rewarding yourself. You can indulge (moderately) in your favorite foods. This is also called "cheat day". Sunday: Low carb day.
Versions of the 7-day plan There are several versions of the plan where two or more high carb days will be followed by low carb days or some variation of this. Some examples are:
Alternative plan 1:
Day 1: High carbs Day 2: Low carbs Day 3: Zero carbs Day 4: Low carbs Day 5: High carbs Day 6: Low carbs Day 7: Zero carbs
Alternative plan 2:
Day 1: High carbs Day 2: Low carbs Day 3:
Zero carbs Day 4: Low carbs Day 5: High carbs Day 6: Low carbs
Day 7: Zero carbs There are a variety of other versions as well, such as 4 high carb days followed by three low carb days. However, as a beginner, you will want to start with the simple alternate day plan.
You can switch to a different cycle when you get the hang of it and feel you are ready. Or, you can stick to the basic plan throughout your journey until you have achieved your weight loss goal.
If you find that carb cycling works for you, you may want to delve deeper into these other plans. In this case, you will want to consult an expert. They will help you customize a plan that suits your weight goals, gender, and lifestyle.
The alternate-day plan we will use here is just the simplest for a beginner and will work for anyone(...)

Synopsis
Recent studies suggests that you will be more successful with your weight loss if you will eat more fresh citrus and some vegetables and fruits that are rich in Vitamin C.

Vitamin C is also referred to as an ascorbic acid. It’s a water-soluble vitamin with an antioxidant function in one’s body. This just means that this neutralizes free radicals, which can cause damage to cells.
Vitamins that are water-soluble are not stored in one’s body. With this, you need to consider taking a fresh supply of these every day.

Chapter 4:
Switch Out Trans Fat For Healthier Fats
Synopsis
For several years, doctors and nutrients have preached that low-fat diets is the best key to successful weight loss, preventing health problems, and managing cholesterol.
That is why it is essential for you to have ideas about switching out trans fat (bad fat) to healthier fat. It is because bad fats can increase your health risks while good fats can protect your overall health condition. In fact, healthier fats are important to emotional and physical health.
Eliminate Trans Fats From Your Diet
Trans fats are normal fat molecules that have been twisted as well as deformed during a process, which is called hydrogenation. In this process, liquid vegetable oil is combined and heated with hydrogen gas. Partially, vegetable oils that are hydrogenated will make them less likely to spoil and more stable, which is good for all food manufacturers and not a good thing for you especially if you are maintaining a healthy weight.
Trans fats are not healthy. Even a small amount of them is unhealthy. The reason behind it is that these fats contribute to several major health problems like cancer and heart disease.
Trans Fats Sources
When talking about trans fats, many people think of margarine. Well, it is true that there are several margarines that are loaded with these fats. However, the main source of trans fats in the Western diets comes from snack foods and commercially-prepared baked foods.
∙ Baked Goods – crackers, cookies, pizza dough, pie crusts, muffins, and other breads including hamburger buns. ∙ Snack Foods – corn, candy, tortilla chips, potato, microwave or packaged popcorn.
∙ Fried Foods – French fries, chicken nuggets, hard taco shells, doughnuts, and fried chicken.
∙ Pre-Mixed Products – pancake mix, chocolate drink mix, and cake mix.
∙ Solid Fats – semi-solid vegetable shortening and stick margarine.
Be a Trans Fat Detective
When shopping for your monthly or weekly foods, always consider reading the labels and check out if there is a presence of trans fats in the ingredients. There are some foods that come with no trans fats label, their ingredients might be a suspect.
When it comes to purchasing margarine, choose the versions like soft-tub and ensure that the products come with zero grams of this bad fat. If you are used to eating out, set aside biscuits, some baked foods and fried foods. Avoid these foods unless your chosen restaurant does not use trans fat when preparing their meals. In addition to that, ask the counter person or server of what type of oil used to cook the foods. If they will use trans fats, you can ask them to prepare your foods with olive oil instead.
If you to get rid of trans fats successfully, avoiding fast food is one of the things that you need to do. Most states don’t have labeling regulations for fast foods. In fact, this can advertised as cholesterol free if the foods are cooked in vegetable oil.

Introduction
With processed foods that are high in fat readily available these days, it seems like many individuals have found themselves ballooning. As a matter of fact, the percentage of people suffering from obesity has been on the rise in recent years. While some of these people are nonchalant about the need to lose weight, others have found themselves seeking products for weight loss.
There are various reasons why individuals desire to lose weight, one of which would be due to concern for their health. Due to various health scares and reports in newspapers, people are now more aware that being obese can actually be bad for their bodies. As such, they may want to shed excess pounds before they have experience health problems and it is too late. The market for such products and services has grown, with weight loss aids such as slimming programs, slimming supplements, and pills that are supposed to restrict your body’s intake of carbohydrates claiming to be able to help consumers attain their dream weight.
There are also those who choose to take a more extreme measure by going under the knife to have the size of their stomachs surgically reduced. With the numerous options we have today, some people are now beginning to think that there are fast and quick ways to lose weight. However, this may not necessarily be good for your body. There are many who have chosen to stick to the more traditional methods of losing weight – to diet and to exercise. However, when it comes to dieting, there are so many choices you can choose from that you may find yourself confused as to which diet program will be best for you.
You may even wonder if diet programs are effective in helping you lose weight. If these are some of the questions that you already have on your mind, then don’t worry! You will definitely be able to find answers in the following articles. How Can Weight Loss Benefit You There are many ways to lose weight. Some of the methods that people use to lose weight include exercising and restricting their diets so as to achieve the best weight loss results.
As such, people who would like to achieve their dream weight rejoice with the various options available. However, even with these weight loss options available, some people are still lacking the will to work towards their dream weight. Instead of fighting the flab, they simply accept their current weight and do not do anything about it.
This may be because they are unaware of how putting effort and being motivated to lose weight will help them to achieve various benefits for their body. If you're among these people who have given up on losing weight, you should consider these benefits before halting your battle against excess weight and inches. When it comes to losing weight, health benefits are on the top of the list of reasons why you should work hard. By losing weight and not being obese, you will also be able to reduce your risk of getting serious diseases in the future. For instance, people who have excess weight usually develop diabetes due to an increased level of blood sugar. The problem with this condition is it can be difficult to treat and would require regular insulin injections so as to control this medical condition. If the illness worsens, the patient may even need to undergo dialysis.
This is because diabetes can prevent your kidneys from filtering the blood in your body, causing waste in your body to enter your blood stream. As your kidneys are unable to function well, dialysis will become a critical part of your life as it will be doing the job that your kidneys can no longer perform. While you may be prompted by your illness to keep a watchful eye on your diet and exercise, it may just be a little too late, as you may have to struggle with your condition for your entire life. Weight loss also has the ability to help your body maintain its balance.
Having a heavy body may cause people to move at a slower pace and even lose their balance from time to time. When you have a large body mass, you will have greater inertia. As such, your body will find it hard to move, especially when it is abrupt. However, if you are able to lose weight, you will feel much lighter and more agile. This will be beneficial for you, especially if you are always on the go. Balance will not be a problem anymore so you can move at a faster pace than before. Finally, people who lose weight will also find themselves saving money in the process.
This benefit may come in different ways. When you lose weight, you are less likely to develop diseases such as diabetes or heart problems. As such, you will be able to save the money needed for hospitalisation, medication and various treatments such as therapy sessions and dialysis. Apart from hospital bills, you may also find that shopping for clothes is now easier and cheaper with your new measurements. This is because when you lose weight, you will not have to shop at stores that specialise in plus size clothes. Instead, you will be able to simply head on down to the nearest mall to pick out new clothes for yourself. Shedding inches from your body will help you find clothing that will fit you at affordable prices. As such, weight loss is nothing but beneficial for you and you can do it with the help of effort and motivation.
Start planning your weight loss program today to experience these benefits. Things You Should Know Before Starting Any Weight Loss Program Weight loss has become a top priority for many individuals these days. Some people would like to achieve this solely for aesthetic purposes, while others have been influenced by medical statistics. For one, serious medical problems like diabetes and heart problems are starting to become increasingly prevalent among people who are late 20s up to mid 30s. As such, many have started on weight loss programs to avoid having these health problems. When you are looking for the right weight loss program, it’s vital for you to be prepared and have reasonable expectations for it. The following are some of the things you must know before choosing and starting your weight loss program. Not all weight loss programs will work of everyone
Everyone is different. As such, weight loss programs will not have the same effect on everyone, especially since there will be differences in metabolic rates and the individual’s commitment to the program. While you can take into consideration what the program has done for other people, you should be prepared for results that are different. If you are looking for a good weight loss program for yourself, you will not only need to do research, but also use your sense of judgment so as to avoid disappointments. Weight loss is achievable with diet and exercise There are a lot of diet programs that may be able to give you good results. However, for effective weight loss, diets are not sufficient. The truth is that diet and exercise complement each other.
Thus, besides restricting what you eat, you should also spend time doing exercises every day for remarkable weight loss. Motivation is key Many people start and quit their weight loss program when they have lost interest or reached a plateau. The truth is that most of these individuals just lack the motivation to lose weight. They easily give up after several days of doing the program because of impatience. They may have found the best program for them but everything will go to waste by giving up in the middle of the program. Set your motivation and be patient instead of rushing to see results. Consult your physician for advice Some people may rush into weight loss programs without consulting their physicians. Thus, they end up not getting the desired results and may even gain injuries or medical problems. If it is possible, you should have your health assessed by your primary care provider before taking part in any program.
Physicians will recommend a weight loss program, consisting of both diet and exercise, which will be suitable for your needs and tailored according to your abilities. This will allow you to achieve the results you desire without putting a strain on your body. With these pieces of information, you are now ready to embark on your weight loss journey. When you have the right amount of effort and motivation, you will definitely be able to achieve your desired weight loss. Do Weight Loss Diet Programs Really Work? The importance of weight loss has been acknowledged by many individuals around the world. The obsession with losing weight has caused entrepreneurs and businesses to come up with different approaches that will help people to lose weight efficiently.
While all these diet programs claim to be effective, as a consumer, you should be meticulous with details when you are considering such products. This is because the internet may be quite deceiving sometimes. If you see positive testimonials for their items on the product’s website, you will not be able to determine if the testimonials are real. Even if the weight loss diet programs are effective, the results that you see may be different from what you expect. As such, here are some things that will prepare you in terms of diet programs’ effectiveness. Results of diet programs may vary Diet programs will be effective, but results will be different for individuals. Some may lose an enormous amount of weight while others may simply have modest results. A number of factors contribute to this scenario, such as metabolic rates and how committed are the individuals to the diet program. If you have high metabolic rates, you will find it easier to lose weight as compared to people with lower metabolic rates. Apart from the physical factors, varying levels of commitment to the program also lead to different results. Some will focus on the program by following it strictly while others may find themselves giving in to the temptation of foods that are not diet-friendly. Exercise People would think that diet alone can help them get the best results. The truth is you’ll find that even the developers of these programs will still recommend daily short exercise sessions. In fact, you’ll find that some of them would even indicate specific amount of time you should use working out and the types of exercise you should do. For example, they might recommend users to do 30 minutes of aerobic exercises every other day to achieve better results.
As such, diet and exercise should go hand in hand. Different states of health Diet programs will usually require specific food types or products which are to be eaten as part of the weight loss program. However, there are some of the food requirements that may not be suitable for an individual. This is where consulting with a health expert will be helpful. If you would like take part in a diet program, you must first consult your primary care provider and tell them the foods that it may require. They’ll check out your current health state through your regular checkups. Once they approved of the program, you can start on it.
You may also ask for suggestions on which program you should participate in so that you will be able to go on a die that suits you best.
Conclusion
In conclusion, diet programs can be effective for weight loss, but the success of such programs will depend on some factors. It’s highly recommended for you to have your health assessed before trying out any program in the market so that you will be able to get the best results. While you may be keen to shed off those excess pounds, you should only do so healthily.
There are many who choose to stick to diet programs, whether it is about only eating selected foods, keeping your calorie intake below a certain amount or eating less. However, there are also some who have taken diets a step too far by not eating enough or having sufficient vitamins and nutrients. As such, not only will you be unable to enjoy the positive benefits of losing weight, you may even find your health deteriorating! For healthy weight loss, you should always do things in moderation, be it exercising or dieting. Of course, you can enlist the help of a professional doctor who will advise you on what you should do. It is also important for you to have confidence in yourself and always believe that you will be able to lose weight successfully. With these tips in mind, you will definitely be ready to lose weight and enjoy a healthier life!
