Cycle Syncing is a Waste of Time

Unpopular Opinion: Cycle Syncing is a Waste of Time

I know, it's a VERY hot topic. And full disclosure, I've never actually tried it. But I have tried a whole bunch of fad diets and wellness trends. If it’s advertised as a quick fix or “life changing” fad, I’ve had a client try it.

So why do I think it’s a waste of time? Everyone wants something exceptional or special sounding to change their lives. The unglamorous truth is that the things that change your life are getting good at the boring and mundane parts of life.

You need to master good sleep hygiene. Learn to eat protein forward meals. Actually exercise 3-4 times a week without missing a week for a few months.

If you can’t get 30g of protein in at lunch or sleep 7+ hours a night, trying to master a fasting window based on your cycle or do hit on the apporiate day is really putting the cart before the horse.

If you’ve already mastered your sleep schedule, have great nutrition, and have no problem working out, then sure, you can try to sync your diet and workout routine to your cycle. Or you can not and appreciate all you have succeeded in doing for your body.
