I might be way off in my thinking, but that's why I'm asking for everyone’s opinion. Here's my plan:
I lift three day/week (Mon, Wed, Fri), and do cardio 3 days/week (Tues, Thurs, Sat). Starting one hour prior to lifting, and continuing for the next 24 hours I plan to eat a high-calorie high-carb/low-fat diet. This will put my body in a very anabolic state during the first 24 hours of recovery, and also give me some extra energy to power me through my workout.
After the 24 hour high-carb cycle I will switch to a very-low-carb low-calorie diet. I will start this micro-cycle with 30-45 minutes of cardio. My thinking is that I will deplete a lot of my glycogen stores with the cardio training, and with a little help from some ALA I think I can slip into a fat burning state and keep myself there for the next 24 hours. Then once again, one hour prior to lifting, I will switch back to the high-cal high-carb diet. Because I'm only working out six days/week, I will have a two day stretch when I can stay with the low calorie diet to help cut, or go with an extra day of high calories to help with bulking.
I would keep my protein intake high through out. My hope is to control body fat while bulking, and control muscle wasting while cutting. Maybe you can’t have it both ways (without drugs), but I thought it might be worth a try? Any thoughts?
