>This is just calorie cycling with extra steps. That's almost right, but it's carb cycling, not calorie cycling. The difference does matter. >TKD, CKD, intermittent fasting, dirty keto, keto with a once a month weekend pizza binge, whatever, almost any combo of "eat less for awhile, then eat normal for little bit, then eat less again". I believe that the best approaches, for a given period, will be 2/3 of the time on minimal-to-no carbs, then 1/3 on carbs (which, for seven days, rounds to 5-off / 2-on). The leptin information also suggests that an obese person shouldn't be off carbs for long periods of time, and one week is a nice time frame for people (go low-carb during the work week, have carbs on the weekend).
