So you would not recommend a cheat day at any point then? A genuine cheat day?
No.
A cheat day serves no purpose.
Your supposed to load up the glycogen during the high carb day, so stay very low on fats and low on protein.
Don't train either.
Most people who do low carb diets fcuks up this part, by eating whatever, and going high on everything, which means they will go high on fat on the carb up day.
The point isn't to "shock" the metabolism. It's to fill up the glycogen storage.
Start up with very fast carbs, and progressively during the day, eat slower and slower carbs.
Also drink 3 grams of water for every 1 gram of carb.
I would definitely recommend the Ultimate Diet 2.0 for anyone considering doing low-carbing diet.
