The Carb Cycling Diet shows how to apply athletic training and dieting styles to average people to reshape and rejuvenate the body.

Good muscle tone assures a person’s physical stamina even during retirement years, and prevents the weight management problems which can occur as you grow older.

Muscles are important for women too! Unfortunately, women frequently do not pay attention to proper muscle development early in life.

This means you should plan on being a physically active person all your life! The more muscle you have, the more exercise you can tolerate, the better your health will continue to be. I see many old people who try to be active but are unable to maintain the intensity of exercise for long enough time periods. Why? They have small, weak muscles as the result of age related muscle loss. Also this is a result of using other diets. Any diet (except CD) diminish the muscle and bone mass. Some of my clients play tennis and rollerblade at age 80 because they created strong bodies. The muscular core allaows them better coordinate their movements.

Muscular fitness is fitness for a lifetime!  Muscles consume calories as a sponge absorbs water.

What do I mean by this? The common scenario is that someone tries a new fad diet for a month or two and then returns to normal eating patterns. As a result they are in a worse situation than before the diet: during the dieting phase there is muscle loss, which has caused their body's Daily Calorie Needs(DCN) to diminish. Now, when they return to normal eating, there is a surplus of calories, which will cause them to gain weight even more quickly than before! This is because the body deposits that surplus in fat. Result: they end up with less muscle but more fat. Do it a few times and you can become an obese person, as the cycle worsens. So, what is the solution?

Build some muscle to give yourself a metabolic advantage.

By following the Cycling Diet guidelines, you can build yourself up for a sustained, fit lifestyle, for a lifetime!
