Carb cycling is a way of eating that helps your mitochondria, the powerhouses of your cells, to easily shift between carb and fat burn.
High-carb days give your mitochondria the energy they need to power your workouts and replenish glycogen, the stored form of glucose in muscles and the liver. On low-carb days, your mitochondria rely more on fat for fuel.
When your mitochondria can move more easily between carb and fat burn, you become metabolically flexible. This has many benefits, including weight loss, better body composition, improved athletic performance, and balanced energy.
