how are you guys able to cut weight for a smaller class and still recover enough for the heavy duty workouts..i'm two days into this diet and have never felt a workout like i have today after yesterday's ME work. I'm going no carbs on off days and carbs only up to my workout and just after on my lifting days..
are my numbers going to suffer? what's the deal here guys.. what's a good way to cut down and keep most of my strenght and muscle mass? short no carb days like i'm doing?
The deal is that there is no secret.
Caloric deficit is the only way to lose weight.
Cutting out the carbs will fcuk you up.
Remember that carbs are the best choice for fuel.
But you need to eat proper carbs. Where all the fat boys err, is when they eat donuts, drink soda and junk food.
If you eat healthy carbs, you will be in good shape.
Here's my advice:
1. Just get a good grasp of your daily caloric need.
2. Then keep your intake at 300-1000 calories below (let it vary).
3. Keep a Carbs-Fats-Protein balance of cerca 50-30-20 (Could be a little lower on the protein, some say 10-15% is enough)
4. The days of a hard workout, eat a bigger breakfast. But it's pointless to eat bigger the last few hours prior to the workout IMO.
