Carb Cycling for Beginners: Recipes and Exercises to Lose Weight and Build Muscle

I bought several books to learn more about carb cycling and this one is THE BEST! I have read and used tons of diet books over the years and get discouraged with diet and fitness books that are too wordy, complicate and long, or the layout doesn't lend itself to quick usage and references. This book is concise, provides the simple science behind this type of diet, and is very easy to follow and well organized. The book includes: how to calculate grams and calories, a weekly carb cycle to follow that includes simple....did I say simple?....quick recipes and foods and a corresponding exercise guide. The carb cycle includes what food to eat for each meal and snack and provides the page number of the recipe so you don't have to hunt for it. Brilliant! Each recipe provides serving sizes, and the fat, fiber, protein and carb grams for tracking. Each day includes when to do cardio, strength or HIIT exercises as well, to maximize fat loss. I read through the book in 1/2 hour and started a spreadsheet to track my food intake to stay organized. I am excited and think this will be a game changer for me because it is so easy to follow.

I love the recipes towards the end of the book and it helps to give a better understanding of carb cycling. I highlighted a lot of things and look forward to trying these recipes and incorporating them into my meal prep.

I think this is probably a great book to help lose weight. I lost five pounds in one week but cooking for hours is what I don't like. I make my food for the whole week and with this carb cycling diet cook from the minute I get off work at 5 pm until around 10 pm Friday and then cook for another six hours or more Saturday. Not everyone is rich enough to hire a cook and most of us actually have lives and don't want to be chained up to the kitchen for a whole day cooking. Otherwise, I do love that exercise and meals are included. My only gripe is I wish it was a lot simpler meals.

My 3 stars reflect the book condition only!! Well written book with great advice and recipes. Amazon sent me a damaged book that I'm unable to gift and an exchange will delay things and I needed it by this weekend!

I spent the afternoon reading this book as soon as I received it. Although I knew a lot of the information, the way in which this book is laid out is very easy. I was able to take some notes and make some adjustments to my diet and I can’t wait to get started tomorrow. I have the absolute confidence that this is going to be amazing.

This is a great book to understanding carb cycling, just stop trying to google understand, I promise! I've recently learned of the body types we all have and I fell under endomorph. It explains the tough fitness journey I've had my whole life. I tried to understand what to do about it but everyone and everything says so many different things. This. Book. You need it. He breaks it down simply, shows you how to measure your macros and what to do. The hardest thing for me was finding which days to schedule high calorie and low calorie. He gives us a schedule and advice about it as well. I'm excited to start my new journey, thank you Andy for the great book!

Love this book refer to it often.recipes are really nice and help keep my program of carb cycling easy.it explains everything for carb cycling.i keep it on my table so it's handy.

I rated this book a 4 star only because it seemed a bit cookie cutter in regards to my current fitness goals. I believe I can safely say I'm not quite a beginner with either recipes or exercise, but I still found an impressive amount of usable knowledge! I liked how well set up this book was for someone new and interested in changing themselves for the better. I would recommend this to anyone truly interested in changing how they eat and exercise for life.

It might be possible that this works ! But i have a fulltime job and don‘t have the time to cook for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Who does?

I just purchased this book and really enjoyed reading it. It’s not difficult, it’s actually a fast easy read full of great information. I’m going to give this a try and see how it goes but from what I’ve read, it should be pretty easy as the book is straight forward

te da toda la información que debes saber, recetas, porciones, ejercicio y más. Te explica perfectamente como implementar este estilo en tu vida.

This concept is new to me, however, in saying that I seem to be getting close to it naturally so was interested in reading from an expert. The information is communicated in an easy absorbable way and gives you a complete plan in food and movement combinations. The challenge for me now, is that I’m Vegetarian and the recipes are mostly not compatible with my lifestyle, but would not be too difficult to alter. But I’m used to that over the years....I will draw up my own menu plan on the recommendations. The tips are great for eating and movement. The 👍🏻’s up for me is that I don’t see this as a diet but a sensible lifestyle way of living.

I like this book. We actually keep it out and refer to it all the time. A few of the recipes are staples in our meal plan. LOVE the pancakes. There are some recipes I don't care for, but that would be with any cookbook. If you're new to carb cycling, I'd recommend this book. Explanations and information is simple. Recipes are easy to follow and don't include any hard to find ingredients.
