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!

I had weight lost surgery in April 2011 would carb cycleing help me keep off the weight or what can I do?
Show the foodplan to your doctor! You can do it!
Heidi,
I had vertical gastric sleeve surgery Dec 2012. My starting weight (pre-surgery was 314, day of surgery was 281 and today I am 250 lbs). I am pleased with the loss but not over joyed. I have difficulty exercising sufficiently everyday because of bad knees and 3 degenerating discs in my low back. I walk 1 kilometer in the pool 5 days a week but I know that isn’t enough. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can ramp up the exercise?
I need to find workouts and exercises that I can do with multiple arthritic sites. I have osteoarthritis in both knees and doc said no squats, lunges, inclines; have had multiple surgeries on feet and have sever arthritis in both; also in areas of neck. Now I am developing it in one hand! However, I believe that exercise would be best therapy. In addition to helping ease flexibility I can loose weight and take pressure off knees and feet! The feet are what hinders me the most. I can deal with the rest but when its difficult to walk it is bad.
Compared to the show, I don’t need to loose that much weight. I am shooting for 40-50 pounds. I just feel I need guidance on how to best do this with my issues. If they can I know I can!!!!
I want to learn more about carb cycling which book should I purchase
I’m definitely planning on the FIT Cycle once I hit my goal weight- I’m on the Classic Cycle from Chris Powell’s “Chose More, Lose More for Life”. 🙂
I have lymphedema and I carry extra fat in calves and ankles and at elbows are there any exercises to really burn those fatty areas. I do cardio and weights, Zumba, running things like that. I am hoping to start massage to help with lymphatic drainage .
I have about 30 lbs to lose all around the mid section. I have the carb cycling book form Chris I find it hard to do I can not tolerate shakes with milk or dairy. Any suggestions on drinks that are filling? I know its not a lot of weight but its an issue with me I wan to slim down. I walk and I have a desk job or 8 hours a day desperate to lose this. Thanks for any ideas anyone????
I tried carb cycling before, but don’t enjoy the mood swings, on very low days I become very irritable. Any tips to overcome these swings?
I read from the link posted but would love to learn more and understand the carb cycling more! The FIT carb cycle plan sounds like what I am looking for though. I don’t want to bulk, just loose extra body fat! I hope to win the book!
FIT Carb Cycle works! Made an amazing difference for me in overall performance and sustained energy.
