Tips from a slow carber…


Start the diet 5 days before your cheat day.
Supplements: Potassium, magnesium, and calcium.
Tips:
1- Eat within an hour of waking, preferably within 30 minutes.
2- Eat 20 grams of protein per meal, especially at breakfast. Myoplex shakes are good, or 3 whole eggs…
3- Eat until you are full of approved foods.
4- Eat the beans!
5- DRINK WATER! Especially on cheat day.
6- Miss timing weigh ins on menstraul cycle. Don’t weigh yourself 10 days before, weigh again 1 day after period.
7- overeating “domino” foods can set you back. Domino foods are things like almonds. Anything that you won’t just eat a few of that will turn into way too much fat. 
8- No artificial sweeteners. They provoke insulin production. Try vanilla or cinnimon.
9- Do not overtrain in the gym. Do 2-3 short weight training sessions a week, if any. 


***Cheat day notes:
  1. 1st meal non binge meal. Do your same breakfast as normal.
