Phase Three – Diet

The Fat Burning Meal Plan

The diet for the third phase of the abercrombie workout is the strictest of all the phases. Phase three’s diet is built around a fat loss strategy commonly used in the bodybuilding world known as carb cycling. Carb cycling is built around rotating between high and low carb days. By doing this your able to keep your body guessing and this results in an increased metabolism. At the same time your body will stop relying on carbs for energy and instead it will use body fat as its main source of energy.

Our high carb days will be identical to the diet we used during phase one of our fitnessmodel workout. During our high carb days the diet will be split into 40% protein, 40% carbs, and 20% fat. On our low carb days the diet will be broken down into 55% protein, 20% carbs, and 25% fat. The majority of carbs on both days should come from complex carbohydrate sources, for example whole wheat and oat carbohydrates. On low carb days the majority of carbs should be consumed during breakfast and before/after your workout, with virtually no carbs being consumed after 6 pm.

The cycle we’ll be using will be broken down into 4 high carb days and 3 low carb days per week. Our high carb days will be on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. We have it set up in this way so that the majority of carbs will be burned off during the HIIT sessions.
