I have about 100gm of carbs per day during the week and a carb up day on Sunday of about 400-500gms. Usually it's in the form of mashed potatoes, pasta or rice. I also have some desert like apple pie or ice cream or something.
My problem is this: It takes me two days to get my cravings under control after this carb up day. Monday and Tuesday are killers as far as the hunger. I never break, but man do it want to. So much so that I am in a really bad mood on those evenings, which kind of sucks for my family, since they need homework help, housework done, etc.
By Wed. tho, I am back in the routine and feeling fine, until Sunday, where the cycle repeats. I'm 6' 215 guessing around 15%bf. I want to get to 10% or so, around 195lb. I was on Atkins before getting serious with lifting around 8 months ago. I got down from 255 with the Atkins diet.
Sorry for the long post, but do you guys think I should cut out the carb up day? Or at least dump the desserts? Cut the carbs to 200-300?
