[...] In a nutshell, using optimal times of training and eating for strength gains, muscle gains and body fat loss. It’s not a “diet.” It’s not a “fad.” It’s not designed just for “weight loss”… because if the weight lost is muscle, then we’re worse off than when we started. – Julia Ladewski [...]

Deeda,
Clean desserts that I like to use are cereal w/ almond milk, sweet potato, or quick oats. I have found that pastries and dry carbs work well. Candy does not. I think just trying different things is good and finding what works.

Hi Julia,
I love all the help you provide on your web site its awesome. Thank you! I am new to carb back loading and have a few?s I have always done the opposite carbs in the morning and no carbs in the afternoon evening. I was thinking I would just swap what I am already doing to make it carb back loading. I am 5’4 about 125lbs. I strenth train 4 day a week and cardio 4-5. I would like to lean out more and my stomach its my bad area.(3 kids makes it a little harder to do)Heres an example am I on the right track.
6am coffee almond milk, stevia
8am-6eggs whites 1 yolk, tbsp almond butter and flax meal
9:15 train
11:30 lean protein,pizza sauce small amout parm cheese or veggeis
2pm greek yogurt or cottage cheese with flax meal in it sometimes nuts with
5pm lean protein, salad w/honey mustard sauce or lots of veggies
7pm protein shake,(this is where I need help) I moved my oatmeal from breakfast to eveing and a piece of fruit. Is the oatmeal to slow digesting of a carb. I sometimes use Ezekial bread or rice cakes. I like to eat clean and save the not so clean for the weekends only. I did try frozen yogurt and a few other sweets and I saw the scale go up. Of course that freaked me out so I went cleaner still trying to get the scale down. I really didn’t change how much I was eating though. Do you have any other sugguestions for a dessert that is clean or would work in the evening? On the weekends I do have few drinks with the hubby and thats when we have pizza or desserts. Try not to go overboard since I don’t train on the weekends. Whats better to carb load with pizza/breads or sweets?
Sorry I know this is a lot of info but I would really like to see a change in my body I work really hard and feel like I am not making progress.
thank you and have an awesome day!

Yes, there are no rules saying you HAVE to have refined sugars. Stick to ripe bananas, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes. If you’re already not having sugars, no need to add it in. The fact that you CAN have it is what people like about it.

Hi Julia,

Thanks for this very informative post. I’ve been trying to research how well CB works for women since IF does not work as well for women as for men. Your post has been a great help.

I’m Paleo (except for the cream I put in my coffee) and already low carb. But since I have added more power workouts on top of my power lifting workouts I will have to up my carb intake for better recovery. So 4 times a week I train 2x day. CB or CNS would be a good way to go.

I’m only concerned about the following: It took me a while to ditch refined sugar and the sugar cravings. I fear that binging on carbs once week will throw me back to those sugar cravings I’ve been working so hard to get rid of. Did you have any issues?

When doing CNS I would still like to stay Paleo. Problem is that the Paleo diet advises against refined sugars. Would be ok just to stick to rice, sweet potatoes, potatoes and overripe bananas? Any other Paleo friendly suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
