First Step To Healthy Life

 


 According to a study reported by ABC News that studied COVID-19 survivors for up to half a year, three in four patients experience lingering symptoms, such as fatigue, anxiety and depression, for months after apparent recovery. Carb cycling allows for several day windows of high muscle glycogen levels to maximize training and recovery that are typically not available to individuals utilizing a ketogenic diet approach. These aspects of carb cycling have not been tested or proven in the scientific literature and currently remain "bro-lore". Vitamin C has roles in several aspects of immunity, including the growth and function of immune cells and antibody production. These refeed periods are critical aspects of the diet and are what set it apart from both in practice and in theory from the ketogenic diet. It allows for long stretches of caloric restriction via elimination of carbohydrate-rich foods while also allowing for several days of hard training and can prevent the sustained reductions in muscle glycogen storage that arise from long-term ketogenic diets. Carbohydrate cycling is a more practical way to implement some of the most effective principles of the ketogenic diet in a hard training, real-work population. For 5-6 days a week, one is required to keep their carbohydrate intake incredibly low, usually less than 50 grams per day.

The goal of the refeed is to refill muscle glycogen levels, “recover” some potential down-regulation of hormones that are affected during dieting, and carbohydrate restriction (e.g. thyroid hormone), and to help with a mental aspect of restricting food to a substantial degree. Additionally, it does not have strict requirements of food quality and does not have a strict do not eat list. Numerous potentially beneficial substances have been observed in maple syrup. The fact that maple syrup contains some minerals is a very poor reason to eat it, given its high sugar content. Of course, we can get vitamins and minerals from the food that we eat. Mood can be enhanced with vitamin C, and its positive role in mental health is illustrated by its potential to reduce anxiety when large doses are used, as well as possessing a mild antidepressant effect. Vitamin C plays a significant role in healthy diet. 

The researchers are advising people to take a daily multivitamin as well as doses of 200 milligrams or more of vitamin C and 2,000 international units of vitamin D, rather than the 400 to 800 recommended, depending on age. Researchers at the University of Salford in the U.K. Studies show that intermittent fasting can be a very powerful weight loss tool. These studies have shown that it can have powerful benefits for weight control and the health of your body and brain. Carb cycling is best suited for people who are trying to control calorie intake and enjoy a low-carb dieting approach, but who also want to be able to train at a higher level. For example, one study showed that it improved insulin sensitivity in men, but worsened blood sugar control in women. A 2014 review study found that this eating pattern can cause 3-8% weight loss over 3-24 weeks, which is a significant amount, compared to most weight loss studies. According to the same study, people also lost 4-7% of their waist circumference, indicating a significant loss of harmful belly fat that builds up around your organs and causes disease. By reducing your calorie intake, all of these methods should cause weight loss as long as you don't compensate by eating much more during the eating periods.

While much of the “theory” underlying the diet has not been well researched in the science circles (aka no peer-reviewed studies directly addressing carb cycling), it has been well used and well tested in bodybuilding, fat loss, weightlifting, powerlifting, and endurance circles. As canonically thought of, carb cycling does not prescribe rigid timing or frequency of meals. Carb cycling restricts the macronutrients (aka the quantity) of your diet quite extensively but not the quality. It is the attempt to merge the benefits of both low-carb and high carb diets. Some variations of carb cycling, such as Carb Nite or Carb Backloading suggest defined windows of consuming your daily carbohydrates, specifically in the evening. The 16/8 method: Also called the Leangains protocol, it involves skipping breakfast and restricting your daily eating period to 8 hours, such as 1-9 p.m. Eat-Stop-Eat: This involves fasting for 24 hours, once or twice a week, for example by not eating from dinner one day until dinner the next day.
