Can I go a longer time in between carb-nites?
« on: April 03, 2012, 10:35:25 AM »
I searched and couldn't find the answer, but if it has been posted before... I apologize. :-[

I know the book states that carb-nites should be no sooner then 4 days between. 

i.e. 1st CN = Monday to the next Wed. ( Day 10) - 2nd (at least for me) Wed to upcoming Mon. (Day 15) - 3rd will be Sunday (Day 21)... which all fit in what the book states at least once a week.

I planned on doing my carb-nites on Sundays, which gives me a full week between them.  My question is:

I have family that is coming in a couple of nights after my planned carb-nite... so could I go 8 days between without problems?

probably fine.  I've done that.  Just try not to go longer than that.
If you don't take care of your body, where are you going to live?

Once a week is fine if that fits your schedule best. The min is 4 full days between carb nites.
