Clean keto advocates admit that it takes a good deal of effort to research food items and plan and prep meals, so "unsurprisingly, many a
Trinity Keto Review eater takes the easy way out, eating a diet centered around foods like bacon, cheese, butter, and packaged foods," according to an article on the Vitamin Shoppe’s Keto HQ. And even for those who don’t practice endurance sports, athletes who follow a carb-cycling plan will often eat more carbs on the days that they work out, and less on rest days. In truth, athletes have done a form of carb-cycling for decades - in the form of carbohydrate loading (or what’s technically known as "muscle glycogen supercompensation"). If carb-cycling promotes weight loss, it’s more likely because it simply restricts total calorie intake on lower carbohydrate days. Carbohydrate loading is designed to "overload" the muscles with stored fuel, allowing athletes to maintain their pace and exercise longer. Your body relies primarily on glucose for energy - which is derived primarily from the carbohydrates that you eat and is available from circulating glucose in the bloodstream as well as stores in your liver and muscles. When available glucose supplies decline - such as after many hours without food - your body undergoes metabolic switching and starts burning fat.
