Yeah, bodybuilders only go up for one to three days then back down. I've been doing it for a week or so at a time by accident more than anything else. This cycle I am trying a four day "UP". Today is day three. I would have stopped at three, but I have an all day BD party to go to tomorrow, and wanted to be UP for that.

I think the principle may work just fine with less days "UP". As you probably saw in my last post, I've been "UP" more days than "DOWN" and still losing at an average of about 1.5 pounds a week. More than 2 pounds a week at my weight (and yours for that matter) is counterproductive, because we'll be burning muscle. You do not want to do that. So, I can't tweak too much or I'm afraid I'll lose too fast. What a wonderful problem to have!!

Feel free to post to my journal -- read through the last several pages and you'll find all sorts of stuff about carb cycling.

Best of luck to you in whatever you try!
