Hi I didn't know exactly where to put this, I figured Atkins was one of the most read parts of the forum. I am interested in packing on mass as well as burning off some fat. A friend of mine who is into body building suggested a carb cycling routine. Could anyone give me some advice on this. What concerns me is that I was under the impression that going in and out of ketosis was not a good thing. He talked about using a ketogenic state to burn fat, but also using carb loading to fuel a workout. Below is a sample of what he talked about.

Day Workout type Diet

Sunday: 30'+ of low intensity cardio in Ketogenic

morning to establish ketosis

Monday: Tension weight training workout Ketogenic

Tuesday: Tension weight training workout Ketogenic

Wed/Thu: cardio optional for fat loss Ketogenic

Fri: Full body workout Ketogenic prior to workout

Begin carb-load after

workout

Saturday: No workout Carb load


Any help would be great...
