Carb cycling is a relatively new dietary approach.
The science is primarily based on the biological mechanisms behind carbohydrate manipulation.
Few controlled studies have directly investigated carb cycling diets.
Carb cycling is an attempt to match your body’s need for calories or glucose. For example, it provides carbohydrates around your workout or on intense training days.
The high carb days also help your body replenish its supply of muscle glycogen, which may improve performance and reduce muscle breakdown.
👉Strategic high carb periods may also improve the function of the weight- and appetite-regulating hormones leptin and ghrelin.
👉The low carb days reportedly switch your body to a predominantly fat-based energy system, which may improve metabolic flexibility and your body’s ability to burn fat as fuel in the long terminal.
