Does zig-zagging calories really work?
I honestly don't know a single successful natural bodybuilder who hasn't used zig-zagging in some form or another. Results? Results are awesome, but it's like saying - how were your results with manipulating your nutrition? Well it depends on how well you do it. You have to know how to zig-zag.
Can't imagine anyone not recommending it, although sometimes its a question of terminology. For example, some people stay at a fixed number of calories until they plateau, then drop the calories - this is, in effect, a zig-zag, just doing it by weeks instead of days. Personally, I've found ramping week by week more effective than day by day.
