[QUOTE="Donczz, post: 1568360, member: 294473"] Hi everyone! I was wondering if somebody experienced any problem with a carb cycling diet. Due to my protocol I followed 5 days of low carb (between 50g and 100g daily) with a light daily calorie deficit. Then the sixth day I dropped fat and protein intake and ate high carbs mostly from fruit. The problem is that even if insulin carbs ratio is the same my BG dropped during fasting periods between meals and to maintain it I needed to eat like 20/25g of carbs each hour. I have already experienced something like this when the intensity of my physical activity increased, but in this case I haven't increased it and also my basal insulin intake remained stable for the last 2 months. Can somebody give me some explanation? Is it due to the change in carbs/protein intake? Is it possible that it has been affected the release of glucose from the liver? If yes why? Thanks in advance guys! [/QUOTE]
