It’s normal for my weight to fluctuate from morning to evening with the amount of water and food I take in throughout the day. However, either the scale at my gym is broken or my body weight has been fluctuating considerably. I hover around 185 lbs., so it’s normal for me to weigh myself in the morning at 183 lbs. and after dinner at around 186 lbs., but in the past week I’ve been between 181 lbs. and 188 lbs. That’s a major +/- from my normal weight and I can’t pinpoint it’s cause to anything in my diet or training. I’m almost certain it’s just a faulty scale, but has anyone else had such major fluctuations in their weight in such small amounts of time (without major changes to their caloric intake or training)?

I’ve been experimenting with a carbohydrate cycling diet for some time now, just tweaking things here and there to see what my body responds best to. However, I’ve never had a ‘no carb’ day, only ‘low carb’ and days where I carbed up really high. Well, I just finished my first workout on my first ‘no carb’ day and all I can say is wow.

I had a great workout but I mentally didn’t feel right. I didn’t go as intense as I have in other workouts, but by the end I felt like my system was totally taxed. I was actually intending on taking this entire week off to rest and recover, but after taking Sunday-Tuesday off I just couldn’t stand the idea of not going to the gym today.

I’m going to try the whole ‘no carb’ days for a while and my diet schedule will look like this:

Monday and Tuesday: Low Carb

Wednesday - Friday: No Carb

Saturday and Sunday: High Carb

I’ll see how this works, but i gotta be honest…I’m craving pizza like a mofo!!!!
