Also, as everyone on this forum understands your weight will fluctuate 3-5 pounds (at least). Just because the scale said you were 3 pounds lighter doesn't mean that you lost the pounds.
Just sayin'

When we eat carbs the liver stores glycogen as a fuel source for the body..When we drastically reduce carbs the first thing the body will do is dump the glycogen reserve to fuel the body,this spent glycogen is part of the initial "Whoosh" of weight loss the first week of LC...Everytime that you eat excessive carbs the body will automatically store glycogen in the liver again,and you will see a gain on the scales and puffiness until you restrict carbs enough to burn off the glycogen once more..Each time you feast on carbs you will repeat this process..Do you think this is healthy for you??

Why interrupt your lowcarbing by eating high carb regularly? Won't this mean you switch back to burning carbs and have to go through withdrawals again?

It takes 48-72 hours for the body to return to a state of once again using fat for fuel instead of carbs,and I assume that you want to burn fat stores correct? So I ask you,which is more productive,a efficient factory operating on a 24/7 365 day schedule of operation,or one that stops and takes a holiday every 48-72 hours?? Just some things for you to think about..  |
