Your Get-Ripped-Fast Plan

Your Get-Ripped-Fast Plan

We're going to keep this short and sweet, carb cycling works. It burns fat, and allows for muscle growth and recovery. But, we hope you’ve got a handle on basic math, because it requires some number-crunching at first.

Generally speaking, a high-carb day should include 1.5–2.5g of carbs and 1–1.25g of protein per pound of your body weight, along with as little fat as possible. Low-carb days should include 0.5–1.0g of carbs, 1.25–1.5g of protein, and 0.15–0.35g of fat per pound of your body weight. You can adjust the numbers as your diet progresses.
