Hi everyone, I've been following a paleo diet all the time except for one meal per week, since I was convinced by some of the carb cycling videos I saw. Is this a good diet plan? Is it better or not to take a very high carb meal once every week?

Hi, I've read some very good things about both the Paleo diet and carb cycling, is there a way to combine them effectively? I don't really care about following the Paleo diet perfectly strictly, only about having the best nutrition possible, the idea I've had so far is to eat Paleo during the week and pasta/rice/bread etc. during weekends, is that a good call or does it do harm? Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Pierre

Let's first assume (even if you don't agree) that during a tournament or competition, performance is more important than eating nutritiously. I eat very clean in general. But at fencing tournaments I want a lot of easily available carbs so I can blast through a lot of calories while competing. But then, I'm not a sports nutritionist. I have a tournament this weekend and want to kick a lot of ass. What should I eat the morning of the competition, during, after?
