What is Carb Cycling?

8 / 15 / 208 / 20 / 20

Carb Cycling is a simple strategy that’s quickly gaining popularity in the health and fitness world because it’s simple to do and gives big results withOUT depressing the metabolism or compromising nutrient intake.

In other words, carb cycling is an easy, healthy way to burn fat and lose weight!

When some people hear the term “carb cycling” they picture a box of donuts in spin class, but that’s not exactly right (even if it does sound pretty great!). Carb cycling is actually just a variation in your carb intake throughout the week.

This means you’ll eat your regular amount of carbs on some days, and low carb on other days.

What is carb cycling?

What does Carb Cycling do?

Carb cycling is a powerful way to burn fat by using it for fuel instead of carbs. Here’s how it works: when carbs are present in the body, they turn to sugar. Sugar, or glucose, is used for fuel because it’s quick energy. But when there’s no glucose in the body to use for fuel, it has to use something else, and that something is FAT!

When you eat low carb, you eliminate the constant supply of carbs (the ones you eat) and the body is forced to use its limited carbohydrate stores (called glycogen). Once the glycogen is depleted, it will start using stored fat to fuel your body.

Pretty simple, right?

What does “Low Carb” actually mean?

The term “low carb” can vary a lot from strategy to strategy (there are plenty of low-carb diets out there, like keto, Atkins, South Beach, etc.), but in the FASTer Way to Fat Loss, we encourage our clients to consume 50–100g of carbs on our low carb days (depending on individual circumstances and gender).

This is a very doable range (in terms of not going crazy trying to figure out what to eat!) and our clients have seen HUGE success with it.

Can I eat any carbs I want?

Carb cycling is most effective when paired with a whole-food diet. If you had visions of chips and donuts and all the bread you could eat, that’s not exactly what we’re going for. There are plenty of healthy whole-food options that will provide you lots of fiber (which is important for digesting carbs), and lots of nutrition (plenty of vitamins and minerals). Healthy options we encourage you to eat are fruits, sweet potatoes, brown rice, quinoa, etc.

So why not eat Low Carb all the time?

You might be wondering, If low carb is so great, why not do it all the time? Great question! There are several of reasons we don’t encourage a strict low-carb lifestyle.

  1. Eliminating a food group eliminates nutrition. Fruits, veggies (like sweet potatoes) and non-glutinous grains are packed with nutrition! If you stop eating them, you also stop getting all those vitamins and minerals that your body needs.

  2. Your body needs sugar! Sugar is the preferred fuel source for our muscles and organs, and when they’re deprived of it long term, they don’t function optimally. This is especially true for the thyroid, which is critical for hormone production and regulation (and we all know how it is when our hormones are out of whack!).

  3. Deprivation=frustration. If you love carbs, you’ll hate feeling deprived all the time. It’s frustrating to feel like you’re missing out on life because if you have a piece of cake at your son’s birthday, it will kick you out of ketosis. Many women come to fear or resent carbs because they think low carb is the only way, but all this does is give short-term results and long-term problems.

  4. Most people hit a plateau. No matter how low carb they eat or how many times they hit the gym each week, most people will hit a plateau in a low carb lifestyle. There’s nothing worse than staying strict with your diet and exercise only to feel like you’re failing.

Carb cycling is a better choice because it harnesses the benefits of a low carb lifestyle withOUT the risk to your hormones, the loss of nutrition, or that feeling of deprivation and missing out on life.

How can I maximize carb cycling?

Carb cycling is a powerful tool by itself, but when combined with speed-burst exercise like sprints or HIIT (high-intensity interval training), you’ll turn your body into a fat-burning machine! This type of exercise quickly depletes your glycogen stores and leaves the body no choice but to burn fat. The best part? This type of exercise also burns fat for hours after you’re done working out—up to 24 hours!

Take it to another level!

If you’re ready to take your results to a whole new level, then combine carb cycling with Intermittent Fasting, whole foods, and balanced macros, paired with strategic, effective exercise. If this sounds intimidating, don’t worry, we’ve got you! We’ve put it all together in the FASTer Way to Fat Loss, a 6-week online program designed to teach you how to live a healthy lifestyle with all of these science-backed components.

What is Carb Cycling?

“FASTer Way to Fat Loss has been a life-changer for me. My doctor prescribed weight loss pills twice over the course of two years to combat my weight gain. At 5’2, I was 166 pounds, well overweight. After taking diet pills, I only lost 10 pounds and then insurance no longer covered each medication. I had given up! I no longer cared if I lost the weight, at least that’s what I told myself. But then a FWTFL coach who I work with introduced me to the program. I fully committed. 8 months later, I am 30 pounds smaller and three sizes smaller. I haven’t been this size in almost 15 years. This is now my new life.”

The FASTer Way with Becca

3 / 3 / 195 / 3 / 20

 

Y’all… I’ve never in my life been able to stick to a “diet” plan or eating plan for more than a hot minute. I struggle when I feel deprived and I’m sure many can relate because once you tell me I can’t have something, it becomes all I want. So there’s that. 
Plus, life is crazy busy with 4 small kids, a traveling husband, doing respite for foster families, and the madness that has become school and after school activities. I can give you an excuse for everything (or at least I could), until I started The FASTER WAY TO FAT LOSS®, in July 2018!

You see, almost two years ago, I was in a downward spiral with my body, energy, and confidence, and I was miserable. I was too busy taking care of everything and everyone else, that I had completely neglected to take care of me. I knew I had to do something because I was drowning in exhaustion and unhealthy habits. Luckily, my friend introduced me to The FASTer Way® at this time and I joined with some hope, but mostly out of pure desperation.

I completed a six week round of The FASTer Way to Fat Loss® program and it changed everything for me! Intermittent fasting, carb cycling, and macro tracking have become my lifestyle. I never feel deprived (actually quite frequently I am too full) and I eat all the things If they fit in my macros for that day! I’ve learned how to fuel my body so that it effectively burns fat and I feel so much healthier and happier!

Two Rounds of FWTFL


For me, this journey goes well beyond weight loss. It’s about feeling and being well for myself so that I can be those things for my family. I gained so much energy, strength, and confidence, so I did a second round and during that time realized that I had found my new calling. It didn’t hurt that I was also seeing some amazing physical results (I worked my butt off, literally) I went through the interview and certification process and became a Certified Coach!  I launched my first round in December and cannot even begin to express the amount of excitement I feel each day I get to walk through this program with my clients… my people! 

I wear my Pink Tank proudly!!!

I want all of you to know that it is possible to change your body composition, increase your energy, and enjoy your health while eating a ton and not over exercising! This is not a fad diet or quick fix solution and is most definitely not about a number on the scale. The FASTer Way® program is designed to equip you with the tools to become a healthier and happier you for the long-term and even though we are working to burn fat, we are also learning to be gracious and loving to our bodies and our minds. We practice Progress over Perfection and celebrate the many Non Scale Victories that are won each and every single day!

In six weeks (entire first week is prep), you will learn the importance of when, why, and how to fuel your body to become an effective fat burning machine. With commitment and consistency, you will experience amazing wins and find a lifestyle that is completely doable and full of food freedom! I will support you with accountability and encouragement the entire way! I can’t wait to see your beautiful faces in the group and cheer you on as you experience the wins of The FASTer Way®!!! Join me here!
