Oh, the love-hate relationship I have with my scale! I weighed in yesterday for my official weigh-in and was really happy! I'm in another DB (The Transformer) and that official weigh-in is tomorrow. So today I went up .8 lbs from yesterday (unofficially). I am still under both of my DB goal weights but I hate when the numbers go up. Hopefully I will go back down that little bit for tomorrow's official weigh in for The Transformer.
Anyways, interesting tidbit. I have been carb cycling and have done so this entire DB. It worked well for me and I don't feel deprived. But I can definitely see the pattern between my high and low carb days. Most of the time, any weight loss I had was after a "low" day and any gain was after a "high" day even though my calorie consumption was roughly the same on a low or high day.
In summary, when my carbs are below 100 then I lose. When they are over 100 I gain or stay the same. Both are with average caloric intake between 1200-1300 calories. I think we call need are good carbs, so that is why I think carb cycling is a good way to go.
