I started carbnite in late July. In the first four weeks I lost 10 lbs and went down an entire size. I am 40lbs overweight and wanting to lose fat as well as lbs. I went through a few weeks where I had very low calories and only two meals a day. I stayed at the amount lost and then when I had carbnite, I didn't lose the weight from the carbnite. I have now gained all the weight back. I went through reorientation and lost a pound and a half during that time. I am doing a fasting with walk or weight lifting before my first meal. I am doing coffee with heavy cream now. I have just begun to do the 1:1 ratio (didn't realize that was important before!) and staying under 30 net carbs a day with the first carbs coming after fasting walk and the majority of carbs coming in the late afternoon/evening. I have added whey protein to the mix. I get around 300g of carbs on carbnite. Any suggestions on how I can make this new start successful again?? do you think it was the lack of calories that caused the weight gain?? Need lots of help and input. BTW I am a 44 year old woman and am going through early menopause! Don't know if that information is helpful or not!
Can you post what your meal plan looks like. Also what about stress. Also for the walks, are you doing them everyday? Have tried HIIt? If not i would do that 1-2 days posr CN. Also i am not sure about menopause.
meal plan- coffee with heavy cream and a bit of splenda (just started coconut oil today) 2 cupsthen gym with walking or bike and weightsfirst meal: egg whites 1 cup, cheese, sausage (occasionally avocado) coffee with splenda and cream- 2 cupsafternoon meal: whey protein (no carb) and peanut butterEvening meal: fish or chicken or steak with broccoli, asparagus or spinach.Dessert: carb free jello with low carb whip creamI will usually have more peanut butter before bed and if protein not high enough another whey shakeI have just recently started doing hiit the first couple of days after carbnite. I also only recently started the 1:1
ahh stress… yes… lots! I own my own business and am a graduate student completing my phd. When i started gaining weight back, my daughter had to have emergency surgery and I had to spend alot of time with my ex!
PGirl, I know you said you want to lose 40lbs, how much do you weigh now? Also the shakes cause insulin spikes and pb has trace carbs i.e. not too bueno, I would replace them with real/whole foods. Also try to play around with the amount of carbs on CN. Also are you CN meals too fat heavy? ie Pizza, burger etc. Did u buy the CBL/CNS book?"meal plan- coffee with heavy cream and a bit of splenda (just started coconut oil today) 2 cupsthen gym with walking or bike and weightsfirst meal: egg whites 1 cup, cheese, sausage (occasionally avocado) coffee with splenda and cream- 2 cupsafternoon meal: whey protein (no carb) and peanut butter-SpikeEvening meal: fish or chicken or steak with broccoli, asparagus or spinach.Dessert: carb free jello with low carb whip creamI will usually have more peanut butter before bed and if protein not high enough another whey shake"-Spike
I weigh 180. I do have the CNS book and my husband is doing CBL and is in amazing shape. I didn't realize I needed to be concerned about an insulin spike after 3pm??? I have only been doing about 300g carbs on CN. I usually only get one actual meal on cn and it has been everything from pizza, burger, meatloaf, pancakes with eggs, etc. I usually am close to the 1:1 even on carbnite. Should I not be?? My daily calories are around 1500, protein between 115-140. carbs between 13-20. I thought the pb was a good choice because good fat and low net carbs. I use the low fructose pb.
During the week while you are ULC you want the 1:1 ratio by gram and you want most of your fat to come from animal sources. Butter, meat, egg yolks. Coconut oil is really about the only fat from a plant source you want regularly.Only use whey shakes PWO and don't use any fat with them, wait 60-90 minutes before eating a meal.During your carb night you want a 6-8 hour window that you eat carbs, for the best results start with as low fat as possible, a whey+dextrose shake works great, keep the fat lower till the last 3 hours or so, then you can worry about it less.On my carb night I find the best results is up until I start eating carbs I just use coffee with MCT/coconut oil in it and then I workout right before I start with the carbs.
Yeah!! A successful week and weekend! I started on Wed with less than 10 carbs. Lost a pound each day after that. Gained 2.2 on cn. I started with a very lean meal with clean carbs and then went from there. The day after I did hiit and another round of lite cardio in the evening and stayed under 10 and lost 1.6 of the 2.2!! Feeling like I am on the right track again! Went to a body pump class this morning on fasting (coffee and coconut oil only), so will see what that does! But, overall feeling like I can make this work again! Thanks Cory for all of the advise! ;D
