Matt Dustin - The Everything Guide to the Carb Cycling Diet: An Effective Diet Plan to Lose Weight and Boost Your Metabolism

Dear Reader,

When I began my fitness journey, I was a year into college and had no idea how I should be eating. I played sports all through high school, but once that ended, my bad eating habits caught up to me, and I knew it was time to try to lose some weight.

This was about eight years ago. When I first started, I tried every diet under the sunPaleo, Intermittent Fasting, counting calories, just clean eating, bodybuilder-style diets, you name it. Ive found that carbohydrate cycling simply made the most sense, in terms of results and health benefits. I have seen great results, and find it very easy to stick to.

Ive also helped many clients all over the world who want to lose some weight, and by far, theyve found carb cycling the most sustainable and easy-to-follow plan. Im confident that if you read this book and implement the diet in your own life, youll find that you can finally obtain the body youve always wanted, without giving up your favorite foods or being miserable.

Best of luck on your road to a leaner body, and always remember to take time to enjoy the journey.

Matt Dustin, CSCS, Pn1

First of all, Id like to thank Hillary Thompson, and everyone at Adams Media, for helping me through the process of publishing my first book. Its been a wonderful experience, and Ive learned a lot along the way. Id also like to thank all of the various editors who have been kind enough to give me a shot and publish my work over the last few years; I wouldnt be where I am today without those opportunities.

Thanks to the awesome folks at Influx Cafe here in San Diego for supplying the best coffee around and keeping me fueled as I wrote this. Lastly, a huge thank you to all the clients Ive had the honor of working with over the last five yearsIve learned so much from you all, and wouldnt be the trainer and coach I am today without you.

In the world of dieting, there are countless options and plans for you to follow. Many are based on extreme restrictions, eliminating one food group or another. Some are based around timing of meals, counting calories or points, or just eating clean foods. It can be very confusing, and with so many options, its hard to know which is the best. When you consider the number of options and the fact that most of them use very dramatic before and after stories and pictures in their marketing, you might be tempted to just give up all together.

The truth is, the best diet is the one you can stick to. Any plan that has you eating less food than you need will help you lose fat. The difference is that some plans make this easy and fun, and some make it downright miserable. The last thing you want to hear is that you cant eat a certain food, because as soon as something is forbidden, chances are youll crave it even more.
