I have no clue about carb cycling, for the cc do you just follow what mfp tells you?

 

[LVLLM]

Yes pretty much depending on what you want to lose xXxX add me on there I'm lvllm x

Hi, if you want something sweet o Atkins you can make chocolate using cocoa powder, coconut oil and sweetner, just melt the oil add the cocoa and sweetner and any flavouring you want, my favourite is almond, then pop in the freezer til it goes hard . Yum
