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!

Hi,
I am at my goal weight after carb cycling with the turbo cycle ( worked so fast). I went on maintenance deciding to switch to the easy cycle. I do work out every day with some High intensity and low intensity work outs, nothing extreme or for long periods. I have been noticing a dip in energy and interrupted sleep. I am not sure at this point whether to switch to the fit plan. After watching Heidi’s video on how to eat if you want to bulk up, she said to eat protein, fa,t carbs and veggies at every meal. Would that be for people who intensely exercise? Just not sure which plan would work best to maintain fat loss.
Thanks so much
Hi Dee: It all kind of depends on your goals. You can definitely switch to the Fit Cycle, and it could help keep your energy up and help with your sleep too.

Heidi,
My husband I have both had Gastric Sleeve surgery. We have lost a lot of weight but we are not where we both want to be. We have been at a stand still with our weight loss for a couple of months now and we are not happy with that. We work out a lot and I am down to 215 and he is down to 250. We purchased Chris’s books and have been carb cycling for about a week and a half now. With the Gastric Sleeve surgery they remove most of your stomach and leave you with a tube like stomach that holds about 10 ozs of food. They do not touch your intestines so it is not like that bypass or anything. But with only holding 10 ounces of food at a time we are not eating no where near the amount of food that he wants us to eat at each of the 5 meals. I am wondering if we need to adjust the number of times or frequency of meals we eat a day? Thanks so much for any help you could send our way!!!
Leslie, because of your unique situation I would recommend sharing the eating plan with your doctor and see what he/she recommends. Good luck! 🙂
