DAY 3
LOW CARB DAY + SPRINTS
FAST FOR 16 HOURS complete a 6-8 hour eating interval
TRY TO BREAK YOUR FAST WITH YOUR BIGGEST MEAL - THINK HIGH FAT/HIGH PROTEIN.
Advanced: Optional EXTENDED fast
This is recommended for anyone that has gone through at least one round of The FITT Cycle.
TFC Extended Fast will last for 24 hours
You will start your Extended fast after your last meal on TUESDAY and break your fast 24 hours later on Wednesday
ie. If you stop eating at 7pm Tuesday, you will break your fast at 7 pm Wednesday
Drink a lot of water (electrolyte water is my favorite), herbal teas (four sigmatic), black coffee (no creamer), BCAAs, and bone broth. Pre-Workout is fine as well.
Break your extended fast with a low carb, high protein’high fat smoothie and do not worry about tracking macros
On Thursday, break your fast when you are hungry and resume with regular program recommendations.
Why do the Extended Fast On a Wednesday?
If you are following TFC guidelines, you will have had a FULL macro day. If you do the Extended Fast on Thursday, you may notice you’re a little bit more hungry since you had 25% less macros on Wednesday.
(if you are doing the optional Extended hour fast, no need to track your macros)
We will eat less than 40 grams of net carbs on this day. Total carbs minus fiber = net carbs.
Think PFF - protein, fats, fiber at every meal
Eat lots of vegetables and avoid starchy foods - refer to macro cheat sheet for guidance
Your macro chart in MyFitnessPal will have a LOT of fat on these days (close to 70%). THAT’S OK!!
Aim to eat 25% less calories on this day as well
If you are breastfeeding, and have consulted with your physician, I don’t recommend going below 100g net carbs for low carbs days - listen to your body and give it what it needs.

30 MINUTES OF LOW INTENSITY STEADY STATE CARDIO (LISS)
I love walking on an incline on the treadmill, using the stair stepper, going for a light jog or brisk walk or even jump roping. The goal is to keep your heart rate up and in “fat burning zone.” (refer to this article to calculate your zone)

Tabata is a workout style where you have a 2:1 Work time:Rest Time Ratio.
Each “round” in The Fitt Cycle Tabata workout lasts only four minutes. You will start with round 1, and do each exercise for 20 seconds, and rest for 10 seconds, consecutively for 4 minutes. You should do each exercise a total of 4 times. Then move onto the next round.
Currently, This is my favorite Tabata timer
