Unless you’re specifically doing metabolic type training, you definitely want to give yourself adequate rest.” Rachel Gregory Today's Questions: How do you determine how much rest to take during sets during a workout? When you feel like you've built the muscle you want, should you break and do a period of cardio? I've been listening to your podcast specifically about carb cycling. I want to start incorporating this because I feel like I've stalled in my weight loss with keto and have incorporated heavier workouts. I'm a numbers-driven person. So when I do a carb cycle on those days that I do heavier workouts, is there a timeframe or calorie burn that helps determine if it's a heavier workout? What should you do if you've compromised your metabolism from yo-yo dieting? Do you plant fibers help or hinder recovery from endometriosis? When is the next round of the keto for women program? Top Takeaways: How many minutes of rest you should give yourself in the gym A general rule of thumb on how to stack your workouts to get the most out of each muscle group How long you should let your body practice being in a maintenance state  If you’re spinning your wheels with your goals, it might be time to invest in a coach Show Notes: [0:00] Welcome back to MetFlex and Chill!
