Great article with heaps of superb tips.

On the workout side of things, I personally have had a great deal of success performing kettlebell workouts for timed sets with high intensity shuttle runs worked in between sets.

Has anyone enjoyed any success by supplementing with additional digestive enzymes?

Wish I’d read this one last week.
Definitely paying for the mounds of meat, mac ‘n cheese, seafood salads, desserts.
I think you guys are about to become my new favorite blog.

Some other things I find helpful when I know I’m going to be eating/drinking lots of forbidden foods:

* 600mg of Benfotiamine to drastically reduce AGE’s.
* Treatment with a very low-dose ACE Inhibitor. Very effective in mitigating some of the damage done by loading up on excessive carbs.

Karen – Yes on these types of days your protein intake is lower than others that may be lower carb…..if you are following the whole overall carb cycling plan above.

I’d been thinking about how I was going to tackle the BBQ on the 4th. My thought was lots of veggies and lots of protein. But you state: “Eat carbs, some protein…”. Do you suggest the protein intake be lower than on ‘normal’ eating days?

This is amazing timing. I am going to a rib fest bbq on Saturday. Gonna do exactly as suggested.

Thanks,

Love it. This is pretty much what I’ve been doing this week to prep for the 4th party except protein has been fairly higher than normal. Upwards of 200 grams.

Another thing to remember is don’t use a bbq as an excuse to regress in all your eating habits!
