In this week’s “Ask Heidi Anything”, I address the question of whether the FIT Carb Cycle is for losing weight and who it is most ideal for, or if it is for bulking up. Watch to learn more!

Hello! What is the right way to exercise when you are 50 and never done it before? I actually started a couple of weeks ago but I want to do more and learn more to start seeing results!
Thanks 🙂
Thankss. Thanks for this. Great idea. I’ll have to think up some questions another time! You are a walking testament to everything you teach. Just awesome.
Heidi, on low carb days do I need to not eat any fruits? And what about protein shakes? Are those for high carb days or low carb days? I use vanilla muscle milk protein powder.
You can have fruit for breakfast (its a high carb meal.) Enjoy fruit at all high carb meals.
Please help us get on track lose weight and get healthy. Husband works a outside job 10hrs/day doesn’t like veggies he weighs 210 5’7″ I’m 275 5’2″ I have PCOS I don’t eat alot all the time just eat bad and eat out too much which makes me eating way to much calories. i live in ga now but i use to live in cali and walked to work everday. when i moved here i couldnt walk to work but the problem is i stopped walking u didnt walk outside neither. i didnt have anyone to motivate me but now i know my son and myself i have the motivation. i worked a fast food job and ste there every day didnt think i was eating more than a serving but it is and when i looked st the calories it was my daily allowance in one meal. my ankle makes it hard to excercise but no more excuses we need to get on track, please help. Also if you don’t know what PCOS is alls they tell me is to eat like a diabetic cuz my body stores sugar and carbs please help us I am so ready
Enter PCOS in the search bar and there is a video I did on it!
Does the book address adrenal exhaustion and undereating, insulin resistance?
Not directly. Definitely work with your doctor on that!
im doing the optimum anabolics program and in the back sections, i can only do two of the exercises…..i need four more that do not require a pull up bar. any help is much appreciated (and dont say deadlift i know that one!).
I am starting to exercise everyday and have set a three month goal to lose 24 lbs. I am not sure how to go about this. I have four kids and work full time. Can you give me some advice on how to do this? Also what should I be eating?
Hi Heidi,
My husband needs to lose his belly which scares the heck out of me. he tries the elliptical once in a while and occasionally over the years the treadmill (4 times) . my concern now is trying to explain warming up and cooling down. he will come upstairs out of breath from being on the elliptical for 5 minutes. I urge him to slow down first and wait till his breathing is normal when ending a workout. am I mislead by this information?
Unfortunately no, because the shake is high carb. On low carb days, you could enjoy a Bod-e Burn with a fat such as a cheese stick and some veggies.
Fruits are considered a carb so only enjoy those on a high carb meal.
