This plan really helped me a lot!
We know what Cycles you're on Tom
Hi Thomas, could you give info on improving the nervous system. Generating more force and what not.
So who is this carb cycling for? Everyone? Someone at their goal weight for maintenance? Those of us who are still trying to lose weight? I feel like this is information that wasn’t touched upon.
We need a more detailed version of this video, please.
I was on plateau on keto with IF of 2 meals a day. One day i had a cheat meal of eating carbs, not exceeding 100grams. After that cheat meal, i decided to fast for 24 hours with OMAD. Towards the end of the OMAD before breaking fast, i checked my ketones and i was still in deep ketosis and i lost 1 lbs
Sick 💯💯
Thank you, I've been looking forward in eating ramen
Yes please Thomas, more detail on carb cycling meals please. Especially paleo based meals would be helpful. Then maybe some tips how to cycle back into keto. I guess some fasting will help with that.
Also an idea of the ratio between macros for when we come off keto would be great too
Fantastic questions here!
Yes, all of this
Yes, perhaps something for women (by age group), and by region, because I’ve read carb cycling is related to the seasonal food of the region, sort of like follow your genetic affinity to adapt to regional foods… but so far, I will stick to sweet potatoes, pumpkins, jicama (of course with green leafy veggies) for carb cycling.
Yes please, more guidance on this subject. I want to try cycling but too frightened of my food addictions kicking in again. Thank you.
I accidentally started carb cycling. I was on keto for about 6 weeks and then got a stomach bug and had to switch to eating plain rice and toast for a week. Went back on keto for another 6 weeks but got sick again and ate normal food (not junk food or sweets) for a week and then started keto again. I have lost more weight than any time before and at this point eating just a few bites makes me so full that I wanna throw up. My food addiction is under control mainly because keto desserts taste good and the food is also delicious with all the butter, cream and fat!
A list of healthy low inflammatory foods would be very helpful 👍🏼
Yes, this would be fantastic!
He has a video on that
It's easy, just no gluten, sugars, dairy, or processed vegetable oils / trans fats (coconut, avocado, extra virgin olive oil and ghee butter are okay however). ..
I would love a meal plan for carb cycling or a list of carb cycling foods that I can pick and choose from to make a carb cycling plan. I've done keto for 3 years and want to try carb cycling but know how to start. LOVE YOUR CHANNEL 👍
@@techiefan1986Great advice. Also, depending on a person's sensitivity, it is often best to avoid nightshades, legumes, and brown rice too.
"Pizza is NOT GARBAGE!!" ~ signed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles............LOL!
I am a 71 year old woman have been doing keto for 2 years and I love it and feel so good. Now this ay of eating seems to be getting more complicated and I am worried I will feel bloated and lack energy if I start in on carbs again.
I’m no expert, but you should do what works for you.
Thank you. I love the idea of keto 3 months and 2 weeks carbs. I have been keto 2 years. My last 1 week off ended 2/4. Guess it's time for a carb up for 2 weeks. But before I do that I'd love if you did a video on foods to consume during the 2 week carb up. Thanks for all you do 😁
Pizza, pasta, Texas toast, cake, you know the good stuff, jk.
Would you suggest the same for women? I remember you saying in a 'keto for women' video that women should do shorter cycles. Maybe that can also depend on the stage we're in?! I'd love to hear your take on that, you're such a great source for new research!
Me too.
Same! I am at risk for hypothyroidism and pre diabetes. So it’s hard to know how to manage it all. The other day I had what felt like a gall bladder attack after eating bacon. So right now I’ve cycled off of fat and onto carbs to give my gall bladder a chance to catch up. I think it comes down to listening to our bodies. I don’t know if you’re spiritual at all but I swear some days I’m standing in the kitchen and feel like God is directing me to certain foods. It’s easy to say oh that’s just my imagination but maybe we need to listen to those intuitive hits. For example I was at sprouts grocery shopping and I found myself gravitating toward orange foods: butternut squash, sweet potatoes, even apricots. Now that I’m tuned in I feel like I’m getting a lot of “messages/pulls” like this.
Thanks for this video Thomas. I'd really enjoy a video showing the types of foods/meals you eat when you cycle off keto. That would be a tremendous help. Also, I'm over 60 so any advice you can give in those videos for us "older folks" would be greatly appreciated. Be well and thanks!
Yes please Thomas, more detail on carb cycling meals. Paleo based meals would be helpful. Tips how to cycle back into keto and fasting.
Excellent!
I will no longer feel bad about taking occasional days off grim keto, like Christmas, Easter and birthdays.
Yeah indeed that is going to be sort of like my game plan into the keto grind.I am going take a couple of days off on memorial day weekend and such.
@@devilsrejecthbb1
Speaking only for myself, after two years of keto/IF, I've learned that I'm particularly lucky. I can have a cheat day or two every couple months without adverse effects. Also, my normal daily "routine" includes up to 50g of carbs and/or sugar. Again, I appear to be lucky, hopefully you are too.
Always remember, self-discipline is the key.
@@ianmackenzie686 I can have a "cheat" day too. I always do IF on the day after a cheat (good carbs mostly) and the fast puts me right back into keto, usually by 3:00pm on the day after the cheat.
@@2bbossfree
I agree. I do that also, either 24 or 36+ hour fast. I also never crave the forbidden stuff after that disciplined fast.
I'm diabetic so I do keto interspersed with some low carb days. I have an occasional day or two that are pretty high like Thanksgiving but I'm honestly not willing to do other than keto or low carb for longer periods. My low carb/ keto is my diabetic medicine.
Me too! So I don't think carb cycling will work for me.
ditto here. What's your blood glucose on Keto? Are you still taking meds? I've stopped my glimiperide and take 500-1000mg metformin still a day but I've dropped from about 170 on meds to about 130 off meds. I'd love to know what works for you and what doesn't . How long have you been on keto? I've been doing it about 3 months now/
@@lauradecker4213 It's a tough call. I think that my diabetic body is craving carbs so badly while on keto that it's really kicked up the glyconeogenesis from my protein to get it. I'm almost entirely off diabetes meds, but if I cycle off I'll be checking my blood sugar often. I won't be taking glimiperide again, that's bad shit!
I've been diabetic for 4 years. I went really low carb right away but didn't know anything about intermittent fasting. I was on metformin for about 3 years but kept having to add carbs to avoid getting too low blood sugar so went off then discovered IF. Been truly keto 5 months. Last A1C was 5.0. Typically my sugars are about 98 in AM then they seem to cycle between about 70 and 90 especially if I'm doing a 3 day fast.
@@datsuntoyy For me the best thing I ever did was to check my blood sugar 3/4 times per day after eating to get to know how many carbs and what type I could eat. My dr & diabetic educator had no advice about low carb so ... I eat typically 1 to 2 meals which really helps also.
Carb cycling menu or list would be great. You have helped me loose 100 pounds and put on a bunch of muscle mass that at 56 I did not think I could do. Been changing up my fasting and this sounds like a very good next step. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.
Way to go Ken; proof that it all works when properly and diligently done.
Please do more on foods to eat when alternating between keto and carbs for metabolic flexibility. Been strict ketogenic for a long time but now I'm curious.
@Luna R How long have you been strict Keto & are you having any problems having been on Keto for a long time? IE: unable to decrease your blood sugars, fatigue.... I’ve been clean Keto for 2 years and now I’m running into these issues. TY
Intermittent Fasting (20-4 alternate day fast with a once a month 48-56 Hr fast) is what finally helped me with my glucose #’s. I’m strictly Ketogenic and have been for approximately three years and have followed Thomas for as long on his journey and have implemented much of the science he explains and have gotten great results. Recently I have transitioned to mostly a Ketoviore diet by where I’ve increased my protein macros to 69/29/2 so that I’m getting 189g of protein and only 6-7 g of carbage a day.
FYI I’ve lost 10 Lbs in two weeks and I’m beginning to see better body composition via this macro adjustment at 57 years old! That’s right! Thanks to Thomas 🙏
Cheers
Kevin
@Kevin Taylor, I’ve been doing 20/4 IF , wed thru sun & a 48hr fast starting every Sun night, for about a year & still my BS’s are high, with my Ketones also being high (at least 3.5). I’m already at my goal weight, but not feeling great, so I’m going to use your example and give increasing my protein & lowering my carbs a try. Ty for your help :)
@@kevintaylor113 I've been eating keto since 2017 and I do give myself a break because it's necessary to eat fruits and vegetables that are not ketogenic for a healthy gut balance, but to do so in moderation. I have absolutely no problem bouncing back to keto because the times off keto makes me so tired after eating carbs until I just can't wait to dump the sugars. This is interesting because I'm growing potatoes, I will definitely eat them during my carb days.
@@robieoelkers2667 been strict keto for probably 4 years now. No trouble with keeping my glucose down even before fasting. I did the 72 hr group fasting a couple years ago and have done restricted eating off and on. I'm more looking for metabolic flexibility at this point so if I ever want to take a break for say vacation my glucose doesn't go crazy.
4:30 "the goal is to continually stress yourself" i feel like i'm gonna struggle convincing my peers to do keto with that one
Hankyu You cant stress your body when you've hot a Compromised Immune System:-( So I wonder how one is meant to get round this...?
The body is metabolically stressed but I rarely notice it after two weeks.
Remember, this is an advanced activity. It's not for people starting out.
Progressive overload for metabolic flexibility
"Stressing yourself" just like you must physically stress your body (excercise) in order to see positive results. Sounds damaging on its face but actually beneficial.
I've been on and off keto for years, did keto a year, lost 15 kilo in the process. The year after went back to carbs, gained some and went back to keto.. This is going on almost four years. The problem is when I get back to carbs I will not eat the healthy carbs but a mix of healthy and dirty (mostly dirty), so that means everday is going to be rice/pasta/pizza/ potatoes etc. The thing is, when I'm on carbs I want to eat all the foods that I couldn't eat on keto. It's really hard to keep disciplined when back on carbs. On Keto I can, but on carbs it's very tricky. Maybe a video about this would be nice, what to eat in general and when you do eat the occasional dirty carb, how to keep that under control and get back to daily eating clean carbs again. We can all deny it but I'm pretty sure alot of people will cheat with dirty carbs and will eat that donut or those fries or whatever. It's only human.
THIS is exactly my problem, Bertrand. 100%.
Christmas without (Swiss) chocolate? Easter eggs? Birthday cake.
I have no problems while on keto. A piece of Lindt 90% cocoa a day makes me happy.
Eating carbs will be pretty dirty... Belgian waffles, stroopwafels.
I've always eaten absolute junk my entire life. I guess I'm lucky because I don't have metabolic issues that run in my family. I do have cardiovascular though. That said - I'm the same way. The thing is that it's okay to have some of the horrible carbs starting out. But, if you're trying to consume healthier carbs and are constantly craving/hungry. You need to prioritize healthy fats + protein and then add a little bit of carbs to the mix. I cannot live without potatoes, but using an air fryer to french fries or frying up hashbrows in a little bit of olive or avocado oil is perfectly fine. Beans are another favorite, but the real troublemaker is white rice as it's highly glycemic. I try to limit it to only sushi/poke, but it's always very little. The trick is to prioritize protein/fats over the carbs. It's hard to overeat on carbs when your body has lots of protein and some healthy fat. But avoid consuming carbs alone or consuming high fat/high carb junk foods.
Ha ha ha! Pretty much me. If I'm going out of ketosis and screwing up keto...i'm going to screw it up big time. Bad mindset to get into but I'm an 'all or nothing' kind of guy! I'm on 2 months of holidays and I have to say that I've not only fallen off the wagon, but I've gotten up and ran to the front of the wagon, laid down and let it run over me, then doing that again and again. I've put on some extra weight I know. When I get back on a schedule and get back on keto, my plan is to implement Ben Azadi's 'Keto Flex' carb cycling plan just to shake things up. Going to try his '3-3-1' plan. 3 days of strict keto, a 72 hour (3 day) fast and then a low fat feast day utilizing 100-150g of carbs. We shall see how that shakes things up. Might stay strict keto for a month or two to get my body back in the swing with doing intermittent fasting.
It is totally normal because once u deprive yourself from something for a long period of time, once you’re allowed to have it, you’ll obviously binge and gorge. It is all psychological. Not that i want to scare you , but this can start a vicious cycle of binging restricting as u ll want to compensate for the bad u did to ur body.
@@guibox3 hi there! I'm thinking of taking a similar strategy... keto for most of the week, one 36 hour fast and then a carb refeed day. Reflecting on it a year later, how did it go?
Would love to watch a video about other healthy low inflammatory carbs, besides potatoes.
Another winner…there is so much to learn and it’s great to have you keeping us in your learning loop.
I have done some shorter term cycling and it’s not what I would recommend to anyone because of the sugar process leading quickly and easily to carb addiction. Plus it seems to be playing havoc with my electrolytes (edema in lower legs and feet).
I’m definitely going to try like 12 weeks on KETO and then take a few weeks to adapt, and then go back to KETO.
I know myself, (Im Fm and almost 59 yrs old) I’m not going to sabotage my health (« not diet ») by eating ridiculous junk. I’ll add nutritious finds like beets and carrots, honey, maple syrup, yellow potatoes, lentils, raw dairy which my body loves, and other things that I know are healthy. I have no desire to use it as an excuse to go nuts on carbs that will break my HEALTH progress.
I’m still working on my thyroid, and that’s not a fast process, I’m being patient.
After my daily fast, my body responds so well to nutritious fat when I eat. (Still have the edema which i really dislike) I’m experimenting with the every other day to fast, rather than daily.
For me it’s all about my hormones and thyroid getting well.
No, not an easy or fast process but surely an excellent pursuit to a good and vibrant life! I’ve overcome many illnesses and I will always continue to move mindfully forward, despite any challenges.
As a 65 year old obese diabetic with multi problems I went full carnivore last Set 22 2020. I am off 9 medications, lost 44 pounds so far, perfect blood pressure and blood sugars after 35 years on medications. More energy than when I was 45. I will never touch another carb again. A potatoes spikes the blood sugar as more than a spoonful of pure sugar, steel cut oat the same thing. Thomas is young and healthy, he can experiment with carbs and things, I will not. I retired last August because I could not go on anymore. I am not back at work singing.
Every 3 months :) then go paleo! I love this channel!!!!
Yes please, more. Ive been pure keto for 8 months.. scared to come off, but also getting gallstones and high cholesterol.

I've been hitting the keto diet REALLY hard for about a month and a half now, have cut my calories to less than 1,200 per day, and have lost about 35 pounds. However, I now seem to have hit a wall where I don't seem to be dropping weight, so here I am, trying to figure out how to possibly start that back up again. And to honest, for several weeks, after the keto flu of course, I was feeling amazing, with more energy, no blood sugar crashes, and was sleeping more soundly than ever. However, for the past week I haven't felt very well at all. I've had like no energy, not sleeping as soundly and just feel like my head is in a fog. I should probably point out I'm easily taking in less than 20g of carbs per day, if not half of that. I really haven't been focusing on the carb count, because I'm simply not eating them. I'm 55 years old, 6'1" and THIS TIME I started keto at 265 pounds, am now at 230 pounds, and my goal is 200 pounds. This 230 pound mark is where I always hit that wall, and where I always end up failing and falling off the keto wagon. When I'm not making progress, I tend to lose motivation, and ultimately it ends up feeling as though it's not worth giving up all the things I love to eat. Please help?
Bro I've hit the same wall as you. I'm 6'-5 . Stared keto at 282 lbs and hit the wall at 240 lbs. My goal from start was to get to 230lbs. These last 10 lbs seem impossible. I lift weights almost every day. I don't do enough cardio and think that'll help
Been sticking to Keto last month and a half and thinking about utilizing carb cycling to help speed my metabolism. I will try doing 2 months Keto and 2 weeks carbs!
Yes please show me how and what you eat when adding in carbs.
I just searched your channel for this yesterday!!!
Yes please do more on carb cycling, could you also discuss the affects on blood glucose during the cycling maybe geared towards the reactions for type 2 diabetics.
Thank you
I am pre-diabetic and have been doing Keto now for 3 years. My BS are at normal levels. No way am I going to carb cycle. My BSL would probably bounce all over the place. This guy confuses me at times. To much science. He must dream about food. I just want to enjoy my food while keeping my BS down. He seems a lovely guy,but I don't want food to rule my life
@@derryshore5586 I would have said the exact same thing, because I am also prediabetic and have been doing keto for a year. However, I recently got a lipid panel done and my doc is worried about the lipid levels. How to keep the cholesterol and glucose both in line is the question for me.
Yes please do! I started following your Chanel 9 months ago. As of today, I've lost 65lbs and gained approximately 10lbs of muscle. Thank you, Thomas! I hope to shake your hand one day.
Yes… please do more carb cycling videos. That would be so helpful.
Please do make more videos on that. I got my abs thanks to you. I need them again I was out on a business trips for two months.
You are a real GURU I must say that
Yes, please more carb cycling content
I was on Keto doing fantastic exploring hiking to places that I could not imagine prior to loosing weight and keto. I started introducing carbs like sweet potatoes but by the time I realized I was fully into the Carb world. I was also loosing hair on keto so thought Carb cycling is best at this point. Its going to be a year now on carb cycle and I am trying so hard to get back on keto. I loved how my body felt on keto inspite of it I get driven towards carb foods. I lost 30 lbs on keto now gained back 10-12 lbs. I want to stop snacking on carbs. I hear your video and that keeps me inspired. Thanks Thomas.
I've been on a very regimented and strict keto and intermittent fasting schedule for about one year!
So yes ,I would love to learn
How to appropriately carb cycle, and what to eat in that period!!!
Thanks👍🏻
You get keto 'flu' when first going on keto which can last weeks. You get the same 'flu' when coming off keto if you've been doing keto for a long time. The answer is to not do keto for too long. As soon as you feel you're in ketosis cycle in some carbs around workouts or in the evening to aid sleep. Once you start feeling the benefits of the carbs with stronger workouts you can go back into ketosis. Eventually you'll be able to switch almost straight away, many people do keto all day then have carbs in the evening, it works really well and is the best of both worlds. You have to train your fat metabolism with keto and IF first though as that is the one that is neglected the most.
Because I'm fully adapted, I prefer the weekly routine myself. Mon-Fri is strict keto - a couple of those days being OMAD. I also fast between 20-23 hrs each day during the week.
Saturday is healthy carb day. Low fat, high carb - sweet potato, yogurt, oats & fruit. Fast 16 hr.
Sunday is a 23 hr fast & then a cheat meal... as in an Indian takeaway & poppadoms! Not clean but I don't care, lol! I love mango chutney & I love my chicken dhansak & rice.
I do my heaviest workout on that Sunday (during the fast) before my cheat feast. I also fast 23 hrs on Monday to kick off the keto M-F.
YOLO 😎
Good info! Please do another video on meal timing/planning, macros to aim for, and fasting strategies during a carb up cycle. Thanks!
Fasting has always been a struggle for me when carbs are in the equation. Would like to hear 16+ hour fasts are still recommended (and how to make them easier). Also, carbs at every meal or just with 1 or 2 meals?
Yes. More on carb cycling. Do you intermittent fast on carb cycle? What do macros look like on carb cycle? I’ve been keto for 2.5 years; achieved my ideal weight. I battled my weight, and lost, over my lifetime. Keto was the key to success. You were a great influence in my journey. Thanks! I’m now looking for the next chapter, which is weight and health maintenance.
I’ve been waiting for you to make a video on this topic for months. I stayed in keto for almost 2 years before I cycled off. But I can’t stand to be out of keto for more than a week.
Yesss please do another/more videos on carb cycling and meal planning ideas. Something else great would be, what meals can we indulge in a bit out at restaurants? I think that 2-3 week "break" from keto and indulging a bit in carbier (but still not garbage) meals would be great. Being able to revisit certain meals or restaurants that you've been avoiding while keto and having that to look forward to could do a world of good for one's happiness and keep them committed to when they're in keto phase.
Keto worked as a Kickstarter and I dropped my first 80 pounds now I stick with 36 hour fast 3x a week, wich equates to 60 hour feeding window per week, trying to find a sustainability, feel great while fasting, but at time I do over eat crap.
Thomas you're one of the reasons I pursued further research into ketosis in the first place, and your information jives with my experience and the literature I've researched.
Having read about metabolic switching and cognitive performance and depression, I've followed long 2-3months keto cyles for about 2 years. I found that the first 6month period of pure keto resulted in adaptation to the point where the energy and mental clarity dimininshed, to base line brainfog and malaise. I climb and run ALOT, longer cycle switching seems to refresh the tolerances and adaptability, the result is that the perceptible benefits on athletic and mental performance are enhanced and extended by each metabolic pathway when alternating.
Thank you, this was a much needed video, and answered some questions I had. If you could talk more about paleo and macros for maintaining your results during on/off periods
This interesting, i am fat adapted, but i tended to kick myself out of keto on purpose every week/2weeks. Typically 24 hours and then quickly back in. I will give this a try.
I wouldn't recommend something like this until you've mastered your approach to keto, aka been mostly successful doing it for a year or more. Anyone new to keto (less than 6 months) I wouldn't touch carb cycling with a mile long pole
I'm inclined to agree. It seems like such an uphill battle to get fat adapted ... and losing weight ... and then cycle off for a period of time. I'm not sure I'm buying into that.
Agree
Yes please, do more on carb cycling. I used to be Paleo but switched over to keto. More transitional information would be great. Thanks for always providing some thought provoking content.
Please do a video about specific foods to eat while carb cycling and also how to carb cycle while fasting. Thank you!!
Please, more content on this and the links to potential protection mechanisms for the microbiome. Great content btw 👌🏻
Yes!! Please dive in with carb cycling diet plans and suggestions. I want to try but am hesitant because I don’t have enough knowledge to do it right
Definitely carb content! Keto and fat adaptation is hard gained, highly effective and worth while. Until... you get stale and your goals change. We always change that’s one thing Guaranteed. So preparation for said change is always a Necessity.
After going keto, your perspective on carbs is usually altered. For me though, potatoes and beans are the two carbs I can't live without. White rice with poke/sushi is my "guilty" carb that I enjoy. Seem like the only high carbs I need other than some of the higher carb fruits like pineapple, banana, kiwi, etc.
Please do more carb cycling videos.
Will we get the keto flu when going in and out of ketosis? What do you recommend that we eat for the keto 3 week break? Can you show us how to do Paleo in this period?
Yes...if u dont crank ur elecyrolytes right again..mplus expect to gain 3-6/7lbs back of water again
Please do a full carb cycle video. What foods to eat etc.
Yes we really do need. I think we do need more detailed videos to dive into the carb cycling on keto
Yes! More videos on carb cycling would be super helpful...specifically in regards to muscle growth goals.
Thanks for this video!
Love to see more specifics about carb cycling... Schedule, how often, how many carbs , what type, how long before you go back to Keto. Ty!
How many background kitchens do you have for your videos? Lol haha. Thank you for this information. I’ve been following for 2 years. It’s been very good for my life.
It a huge warehouse from the sound of the echo. He must have a few from what I've seen. 😉🤔😉
His day job is at Home Depot.
Funny I identify with excess I find myself wanting to fast every day and never wanting a single carb. So good to hear this.
Excellent and informative video. Answered all my questions....again.
I would so love to see how you and your wife cook/combine your keto foods! I'm a new sub so pardon me if you already have these vids, haven't checked yet. But I'd love to see some recipes or how you guys put these keto ingredients together. I've lost 5 lbs in a week and feel great just watching your videos and realizing I've been doing keto all wrong!!! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. Been focusing on ACV, fixing thyroid and estrogen levels and it's actually working!!! I feel so empowered. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! Knowledge truly is power 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely, Thomas...I would LOVE to learn more about how to actually do it: which carbs do I cycle in first and how much...for how long? I totally understand what you’re saying about the purpose. Now I need some real training...a plan...how to do it, when and for how long. I’ve lost 45 lbs on keto and Intermittent Fasting. I still have about 10 lbs to go and the weight loss has really slowed down. So I don’t want to slow it down even more by cycling in carbs. But I do want to move into a permanent lifestyle of eating keto to maintain my weight and health. So maybe you could come up with a video that addresses that goal....pretty please? 🙏 Thanks for all you do Thomas...you are a godsend! ❤️
Yes please Thomas, more detail on carb cycling meals please!
I'd like to see a- this is how i do it. What i actually eat daily and for how long when i cycle off keto?
I would love more on information on this subject..
I’m definitely scared to get readdicted to eating carbs
Yes, more info is always great, thank you
What I've learned is if you don't worry about it (or anything for that matter), you can pretty much eat what and when you like (within reason obviously)! Now if only we could stop worrying/stressing about stuff! Hmmmm...
I'm gonna try this. I miss beans and potatoes and I've plateaued.
It's also possible to cycle inside a day, adding carbs to the last meal of the day. It helps me with my hormones the week before my period (day 21to28 of cycle).
Yes please, more carb cycling for women over 50 please. Are there benefits for the older group?
Yes please, more on carb cycling. I have been on Keto for a while now and need to carbcycle. You mentioned paleo but I did a hella research for Keto.... no idea where to start yet.
I would like to hear your take on % of naughty carb foods that we’ve been denying ourselves and whether it’s ok to indulge a bit on the dark side after adapting out of keto
I'm a HUGE fan of IF and have been practicing it for a while now, but just recently got into keto for fat loss while I get treatment for an injury and can't hit the gym. At 7:25 you mention implementing fasting strategies with regards to carb-cycling(most of the week on keto then one or two days carbs). I would love if you did a video with advice on what you think the best method(if there is one) would be when approaching keto and carb-cycling on a small, weekly scale while incorporating intermittent fasting. Keep up the great work, Thomas!
Thomas even has kitchens in excess!!! I've counted like 26 different kitchens he has shot videos in front of 😄
He has a studio, could be a background
Wow that is exactly what I fell into naturally! Initially lost 60 pounds over a year then slipped into 8 weeks on 2 weeks off. Rinse repeat!
In the beginning it was a carb fest during those two weeks. Now its mostly my same healthy keto foods during those two weeks with the addition of rice, bread and ice cream.
Definitely need to see on what to do with carb cycling. Should we intermittent fast during carb cycling?
Yes, please more videos on carb cycling! I’d love to hear more about specific foods/carbs to eat (such as sweet potatoes like you mentioned).
I would love to see more videos on carb cycling/paleo. After hearing you talk about cycling in other videos, I thought about maybe going paleo for a few weeks myself. I'm just curious about the right way to go about it. Things like macros for a paleo diet coming off of keto, etc. Anyways, great vid as always. Keep up the great work!
I would love to see some more regarding carb cycling, problem is is I like to at least have one cheat meal a week and some alcohol is there a way to get that working out. Meaning getting away with a little bit of carbohydrates but definitely would like to have 2 to 3 drinks a week in one sitting. Especially during the summer. Thank you so much
Hi Thomas: It would be awesome if you could please do more videos about Keto and carb cycling. A friend of mine has been doing Keto 1.5 months and going off Keto and onto Carb cycling for 1 month and then going back to Keto. She has lost more weight than remaining on keto diet alone. Her carb cycling involves no carb, low carb and high carb days. Thank you!
Tell us more about it
I do the modified carb drop with IF out of Dr Willeys Better than Steroids book. I have been doing it 2 years now. Works for me, 3 days keto 1 day carbs. I am 75 pounds down from 300 and went from 50 inch waist at umbilicus to 37 at the moment 1 inch from goal of 36 inches = half my height of 71 inches tall but I think I will just keep eating this way after goal.
PLEASE do more videos on Carb Cycling...Thanks!
Yay that potatoes (the one starch I love) is low inflammation. Some purple potatoes is the way to go. But tell me what about women over 50 who work out consistently. How should I carb cycle. Should I have a carb day every two weeks or do the two months, one or two weeks paleo. Never going back to gluten or sugar ever!
...🌱🪴🌷 I do an intermittent carb 🚴♀️ where one meal (supper) I eat my choice of i.e., sweet potatoes, white potatoes, etc. (for the butyrate); works well for me.
Yes! More ideas on foods that are best when in the carb cycling phase.
Yes please a video on a few meal ideas with the added "better" carbs, I have been doing 19/5 IF for 3 months and Keto for 2 straight. I've lost 40lbs down to 192 and run 15 miles a week.I want to cycle but in an efficient way for at least 3 weeks. I usually eat 35g total carbs which end up close to 22-25g carbs.
Would love to see more content on this.
Would love a carb cycling regimen video please! Also, is it different for women.
My issue is if I take time off ( 1 week or more ) from Keto/ low carb high fat diets what will happen to my A1C and triglycerides numbers ?
I would love more videos on carb cycling and specific meals. 🙏
More info on carb cycling would be great. Foods/schedule/etc
Please do more videos on carb cycling...maybe include some meal plans. Thank you for all you do
Amazing, man!
I needed that🙏thnx
you're doing a great, great job...
and what I like, maybe the most..
down-to-earth presentations supported by science.
Be blessed🏋️♂️
Please do more videos on carb cycling with specific meal examples and specific timeframes and if you could also include intermittent fasting that would be awesome too! Thanks
Yes more on carb cycling . And anti inflammatory foods be great
Yea for sure Tom
You asked me to comment if I’d like more info on carb cycling, yes I would. I’ve been on keto for 5 months dropped from 387 to 320 but I’ve stalled out, hit a plateau 2 months ago. I was advised to drop my net carb intake from 50g to 33g since then I do this hover dance from 320 to 330 and back again.
Bottom line, I’d love more info on cycling carbs to get my weight loss going again
3 months of keto and then do like a week of carb intake. 3-4 days of a keto diet is not at all long enough to actually get real benefits of keto, especially when most people do like 50g of net carbs and do dirty keto on top of that. i do 20g total carbs every other day (one meal every other day) if you want to get into actual ketosis and not just be “low carb” that’s the best way to do it.
Yes more details please. And examples of meals. And how much fat during carb cycling (if any).
