Carb Cycling (My Secret to Staying Sane)

Hey Hey,
So yesterday was my cheat day (High Carb Day), and let me just thank god for that. I have been doing carb cycling for awhile now and I do firmly believe it works. I started feeling guilty because I would eat a lot of bad food on this day lol. So I try to limit it to ONE cheat meal for that day. It's actually easy since I feel so full off of the food I eat that day I really only need ONE BIG BAD CHEAT MEAL to get myself throughout the rest of the day. BUT let me explain since I got to eat all the carbs my big juicy heart desired yesterday, WELL today I get to eat as little carbs as probably possible for a human being to consume (Low Carb Day). At first this was horrible trying to plan this day while having to go to work ha ha. But like everything with time I have became pretty good at this obstacle. So just for fun I'm going to let you all know what great treats I got to eat yesterday WHICH let me say my cheat meals are usually not so CHEATY lol.

BREAKFAST 11am- One plate of Chinese food, filled with rice, fried rice, rice noodles, and lo mein noodles accompanied by CHICKEN lots of CHICKEN, peppered chicken, general tso's chicken, chicken on a stick and one other which I don't know what its called, and two glasses of water. I still always try to stick with water on my cheat days, to CLEANSE . ;)

SNACK- Jarritos Mango (Mexican Soda)

LUNCH 2pm- Salted pretzel frozen yogurt and strawberry cheesecake gelato, with graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate chips, snickers, kit kats, white chocolate chips, caramel filled turtles, and caramel. (to be fair I shared this with my boyfriend)

DINNER 5pm- Pretzel bites, A chicken wing, a Gyro and of course two glasses of water.

So there I feel no guilt for this since the punishment of todays meals ha ha. So let me give you todays run down

BREAKFAST 4am- One pork chop (same from last weeks breakfast) an egg and green beans, with a bottle of water.

SNACK- Nut mix and string cheese

LUNCH- Chicken with baby spinach, baby kale, cucumbers, tomato and feta salad. (Catalina Dressing)

SNACK- Little yellow tomatoes

DINNER- Chicken AND more tomatoes.

So as you can see no fruit today. :( Today wasn't very planned out. I didn't get to my house till 9pm last night and having to be up at 4am I had NO time. So a few things I want to say if you ever decide to do carb cycling or have a cheat meal or whatever, LEARN to absolutely feel no guilt, embrace the cheat meal, but seriously, this is the way that I am able to make it through the week without cheating, I seriously make a list of all the things I want to try to eat on Saturday (My cravings during the week). No one is perfect (I hate to admit it) BUT lol I want everyone to know I'm not always on some crazy diet, have you all wondering how I do it. What you do ALL the TIME is what matters not what you do every once in a while. Next I try not to eat anything that has over 10g on my low carb day although almost everything has way less than 10g, I sometimes like to sneak things in at just 10g. So the last thing is the basics for low carb day consists of MEAT, meat, meat, oh and cheese and vegetables.

Have FUN WITH IT.

OK.

till next time :)
