100 to  150 grams   of  carbs   with    that    meal.

LOW(ER) CARB (AFTER 14 DAYS)


Consume 50  to  75  grams   of  carbohydrates   per day.
People who are looking for weight maintenance and
perform light physical activity should stay at this
level.

OPTIONAL: CARB CYCLING


In  this    tier,   carb    intake  can be  increased   after   vigorous
training (see anaerobic examples in chapter 10 and
below).
Consume 75 to 150 grams of carbohydrates per day.
This amount is still vastly lower carb than the average
American diet. You can take advantage of the boosts
that you get from carbs by mixing low-carb days with
higher-carb days to fuel workouts and muscle growth,
and to maintain muscle when you’re losing body fat.

On heavy workout days, start with 100 to 150 grams
post-workout, and have a lower fat intake that day.
Glycogen-depleting workouts include multiple heavy sets of
compound movements. This means 40 to 70 reps per
muscle group, two to three muscle groups per workout, and
compound movements including barbell squats, deadlifts,
pull-ups, push-ups, bench press, lunges, and dips. Dr. Paul
and I recommend working with an experienced trainer if
you are lifting for the first time.
