    Try this: 2 cups white rice flour, 2/3 cup potato starch flour, 1/3 cup tapioca flour and a teaspoon of xanthan gum

    Bloating might be gluten intolerance, or it could be a carb "spill over" basically your muscles fill back up with glycogen, and then the remaining carbs you ate had nowere to go, so they store with water under the skin. As far as fats on CN, if your health concious stick to "Healthy Fats" Avocado, Nut Oil, Non-Hydrogenated Oils, ect. But if you dont care, dont worry about it.

    That being said, I had the most sore muscles the day after CN. Does that have anything to do with what you described above? I did went for a massage at night and then it was totally gone the day after. And also, if having a 'carb spill over', does that imply no matter how low fat CN is, overdoing it can still stall fat loss?

    Sure! For every 140g that will equal a cup SO take 66% of White Rice Flour, 22% Potato Starch, and 12% Tapioca Starch, multiply those individually to get the grams by weight. 140g x .66140g x .22140g x .16For every cup of flour use 1tsp xanthan gum (I believe!)

    Nice. Thanks both of you. This will help me on my quest of creating a GF, insulin bomb cinnamon roll 😉

    Overdoing carbs past the "6 hour window" can certainly do that. Overdoing carbs within it results in it being stored as water, you will pass the water within a few days. As I said its being stored with water underneath the skin, not as fat. But if your downing carbs, then get to that 6 to 8 hour mark and are still eating Donuts and Pizza, your risking fat gain IMO.As far as cramps, I dont think fat sources have anything to do with that, I usually drink a gallon of water on my CN during the refeed alone. Try getting more water in and see if that helps.

    So to my understanding, if overeating carbs within that 6-8 hour window, would not do me too much harm if sticking to low fat except for the last meal perhaps? As I know many here are very disciplined and really stick to the rules, and knowing the exact amount of carbs for each CN, but I think I'm not as determined when it comes down to carb nite. I think I'm being disciplined during my ULC days, but like to go a little more wild on my Carbnite. So I'm hoping 'going all out' but staying low fat won't blow away all my hardwork.I also want to ask why having protein with carb is important during CN?

    If “going all out” equals a 10,000 calorie, yes I said it everyone CALORIE binge, then its going to harm progress no matter what way you look at it. But if its reasonable, and just a bunch of carbs then you SHOULD be fine. That being said, its something week by week your going to have to monitor yourself. If your going all out for 4 weeks straight and not seeing progress, then save the “Ive stalled” post and control yourself a little more on your CN. Theres countless ways to enjoy a CN and still keep it “Clean” and/or “Controlled”

    Thanks for the advice. I think I will find ways to keep it clean and controlled.

    Lots of threads on here about it. I have started and commented on several so you can find some through my profile. If you have any questions there are several of us on here that follow that type of CN.

    Tex.. Have you found this combination to make an all-purp flour is pretty much a 1:1 substitution for a standard all purpose flour in baking?

    I guess I cant speak specifically on this mixture, but every flour I have used thats Gluten Free I have used as an exact sub with little-to-no difference in the outcome. In fact it might be a little better for baking with no added oils/butter. I have no idea why that might be, but when I went from using standard flour for my pizza crust, to Maple Groves mix, I found it a lot easier to spread, and much less “sticky”. Not that it was any thicker or anything, but the mix just turned out better as I don't use any added oils or fats when I make the crust.

    I know you need a tad bit more compared to regular wheat flour. I can't remember how much.
