Carb cycling can work for some but not for others.

I'm not 100% sold on the idea and wouldn't do it myself. The basic premise being 2-3 differing levels of carbs consumed on a random or rotation basis per week. So you'd never have more than one amount of daily carbs consumed longer than 2 days straight.

I favour regularity myself. I feel the body may respond better to a groove, where it knows what it's doing and becomes more efficient at it. To me mixing things up constantly confuses it, which some say makes it less adaptable retaining efficacy of effects.

I would argue the opposite as demonstrated. I mean if someone in a car plant was good at adding gearboxes, would you get them doing steering systems sometimes, because then you might find it's not their forte, or if it is something they could do, it's still not necessarily something they maximise their efficiency at nor the gearboxes.

People generally do best at something they do regularly, I feel the body would do this with eating habits, rather than it getting used to something which then didn't work as well, which is an ethos I would apply to physical things, like Swimming or steady state cardio as examples.

I would suggest that anybody thinking of Carb Cycling, should rationalise it first and don't treat it as some trendy new way to eat with wow factor, as it may or may not work :).
