Hi loCarb! Hey Built!

I don't know much about it eaither but I asked Lift about it and this is what she told me so far.

NHE

For muscle building:
7 days Induction—20g carbs f/p 60-70%/25-30%
Next 3 days—30g carbs
Day 10—first carb up;
About Carb up:
* meals prior to carb up should contain no more than 30g carbs
* carb ups should be the last 2 meals of the day
* you should not work out in between carb ups-neither earlier in the day or the day after
* carb up are a minimum of 40 grams of carbs per meal, no maximum
* proteins and fats should be kept below 20 grams for each of these meals
* with regard to protein this means from direct protein sources i.e. meat dairy. If you are having pasta that does not count if it goes over the 20 grams, you would only count any meat in the cause if you had that.
* you then return to 20 grams carbs (active carbs) a day, moderate fat and high protein
* this plan does not want calorie counting, eat as much as you like as you are trying to build muscle and cannot do it on a caloric deficit.

For Fat Loss:
7 days Induction—20g carbs f/p 60-70%/25-30%
After that allowed 30g-60g per day carbs
Day 10—first carb up;
About Carb up:
* meals prior to carb up should contain no more than 30g carbs
* carb ups should be the last 2 meals of the day
* you should not work out in between carb ups-neither earlier in the day or the day after
* carb up are a minimum of 40 grams of carbs per meal, no maximum
* proteins and fats should be kept below 20 grams for each of these meals
* with regard to protein this means from direct protein sources i.e. meat dairy. If you are having pasta that does not count if it goes over the 20 grams, you would only count any meat in the cause if you had that.
* you then return to 20 grams carbs (active carbs) a day, moderate fat and high protein
* this plan does not want calorie counting
*If you are stalled on fat loss do some tweaking to calories, ratios or exercise.
