How To Get Your Body To Go From A Sugar Burner To A Fat Burner - a podcast by Ali Damron, L.Ac.

I introduced the nutrition concept of carb cycling.  In simple terms, this is when we alternate the amount of carbohydrates we consume on a weekly basis and hopefully with the type of workout we are completing that day.

When we strength train, it is beneficial to eat carbohydrates because that refills our glycogen stores, helps with muscle recovery, gives us energy and builds lean muscle. 

On days when we do more cardio, sprints, or high intensity interval training (HIIT), it is beneficial to eat low carb so your body draws from fat storage for fuel and that's when we lean out and lose fat.
