You have been losing weight with Carb Cycling for a while but your progress has slowed, stopped or maybe you’ve even started to gain weight again.
Here is 1 simple trick to get your metabolism going and start losing weight again.
Want to lose weight but don’t have a gym membership? Good news! Getting outside is FREE and running is one of the best ways to burn calories regardless of where you are.
While there is some variation between gyms, more or less they all look the same. They’re filled with useless machines and smell bad.
Why spend your training hours inside a fitness facility when you can take in the majesty and beauty of nature without any monthly gym fees at all?
Important note: if you are significantly overweight you should begin with walking regularly.
When you are young you think of running like RUNNING! Moving at top speed, busting ass.
If you try that nowadays you’re going to very quickly overwhelm yourself and be collapsed on the side of the road gasping for air. That isn’t what you want, that isn’t what I want, that isn’t what anyone wants.
The first thing you must realize is that the goal of running isn’t to go fast, it’s to keep moving until the end.
So slow down and take it easy. If you are doing it and you cannot breathe you are going to fast. It isn’t a race.
Now that we have got you slowed down, you must learn to run in a nondestructive manner, this is the key to longevity and in turn success!
When you pound the pavement loudly, bang your feet and slam your knees you can quickly rack up a lot of the ankle and hip pain.
For many people, this is where they stop. What you are going to do is slow down to a manageable pace, whatever that might be, and focus on learning form.
Read my blog How Do I Run Without Hurting My Knees? and watch this video each time before you go out for a run.
Focus on trying to incorporate one tip at a time until they become a natural part of your stride.
Having a plan is crucial to success in running, weight loss and life.
Since you are new to running or detrained from a long period of inactivity I recommend the couch to 5K free app.
The C25K Free app will act as your personal trainer. It will guide you through walking and jogging intervals that anyone can complete.
It also provides you a calendar so you know you will be able to jog a 5K at the end of your time with the app.
Carb Cycling is the most effective nutrition plan for most people because it is simple and allows you to lose weight while continue to eat the foods that you like the most without feeling guilty. Carb cycling consists of alternating weekdays between low & high carb days. Every breakfast always includes a carb to make sure that you have energy throughout the day.
Sync Carb Cycle Calendar to your phone, gmail or outlook.
Monday | low carb
Tuesday | high carb
Wednesday | low carb
Thursday | high carb
Friday | low carb
Saturday | High carb
Sunday | cheat day
Despite what you may have heard it is very possible, even simple, to lose weight if you take the time to figure out what works for you and stick with it.
What is the easiest way to figure out what works? Find someone else who has lost a lot of weight and copy what they did.

Reminder about Burpee Modifications – If you have preexisting injuries it is perfectly fine to omit parts of this move which cause pain. For instance if you have bad knees you might want to finish by standing up straight instead of jumping. If you have shoulder injuries you might want to skip the pushup and just pop out into a plank without lowering your body. Now that you’ve read this list of burpee modifications you should be able to chose the difficulty that is right for you. This one is going to be tough so leave your questions and favorite burpee modifications in the comments below!
