The carbon cycle takes four days as a cycle, which is the best time cycle and is divided into three stages: "low, medium high, low, medium high, low high". This is because after three consecutive days of low-carbon or medium-carbon intake, the body will enter the stage of micro-ketosis, giving priority to the use of fat for energy supply. If we can do this step well, we can reduce fat and change the way of energy supply.
However, we can't adopt low carbon for a long time, because we can't completely consume glycogen in the body. When glycogen in the body is completely consumed, muscles will be forced to decompose and supply energy, leading to muscle loss. Therefore, on the fourth day, we should consume high carbon and improve metabolism. Four days is the best cycle. Generally, after the body enters three cycles, the body will change obviously, and then the proportion of body fat will change.
There are three main situations of carbon cycle:
1. High-carbon Day: High-carbon water+high-calorie, which means that more carbohydrates will be consumed on this day, and the total calories will also increase.
2. Medium carbon day: medium carbon water+medium heat, medium carbon day, as the name implies, that is to say, the carbon intake of this day is lower than that of high carbon day (generally in view of the middle value between high carbon and low carbon), and the total intake will be lower than that of high carbon day.
3. Low-carbon day: low-carbon water+low-calorie, low-carbon day, that is, the total carbohydrate intake will be very low that day, and some people even suggest that the total calorie intake of low-carbon day will be reduced a lot.
This carbon cycle diet is really effective, but it should be noted that the principle of carbon cycle diet is the same as all other effective diets, which is to create a calorie difference for the body. However, the use of carbon cycle also needs to pay attention to ways and means. Too many low-carbon days can easily lead to weight loss. But what is lost is not fat, but water carried by carbohydrates. This will greatly affect the efficiency of fat loss training.
Carbon cycle is not suitable for everyone to lose weight, and compared with other weight loss methods, carbon cycle does not have the effect of accelerating fat loss. In addition, the implementation of carbon cycle is also very difficult. If you don't have anyone to guide you and you just hear the online celebrity recipe "You can eat a lot of carbohydrates to lose weight", then don't try it easily.
