Double Cycle Expirement - Wednesday, August 05, 2009 9:06 AM ( #1 )
 So as promised in my "back to the forums" post, i am going to post the basis to my expiremental double macronutrient cycling.
 
So basically how it is setup up is like this.
On the days you work out you double your bodyweight in grams of protein, and on the days you do not you cut down to about 1 gram per pound of bodyweight, or slightly less.
Simple enough right?
 
Now for the other half, carb cycling.
THis is going to be a little more difficult, but not at all difficult as long as you are tracking days. Basically the carb cycle is 3 days LOW carbs like 50-75 grams or less, followed by one day of carb up. 250-300 grams on that day. Then you repeat the 4 day cycle.
 
As far as fat intake, the only fats i take in are the good ones, natural PB, fat from fish and beef etc. On days you have carb up try to eat fats only before bed with protein, which should be one of the meals where you take in NO carbs on carb-up day.
As for the low carb days, you should be taking in good fats every meal to help support good hormone levels.
Really there is no set mark on how much fat, it should just be a hand full of almonds with a meal, or a tbsp of pb etc.
 
As far as working out, you can use really any split you want, my only recommendation is that you train your weak body parts the day after the carb up, then your second weakest the day after and so on.
 
Like i said this is a pretty rough draft of the diet. I have been expirementing with this for roughly 3  and a  half weeks, so tweeks are sure to come. I am hoping that by the end of my expirementation I am able to put out some sort of in depth literature on the diet, assuming I keep seeing the results I have seen these past weeks.
 
Enjoy, and feel free to leave any comments or ask any questions.
