I could stick to what I was doing last year, but would like to change it up and keep the carbs in there, and may switch back to a keto diet in the following few weeks.
But my major concern right now is my weight loss and it seems to be quite high.
Since switching to more carbs, and way less fat, and half the protein (400g to aprox. 220g/day) I have gone from 177 to 168 this morning in 17days. That's 9lbs.
This week I just started carb cycling with 'high' and 'low day'. Low day E3D.
Protein is roughly 220g. (28g/meal * 7 meals + 24g shake)
Carbs are aprox 200g.
Oats pre-workout, grinded oats post-, brown rice 1 hour later, then more rice 2.5hrs later.
Fats are aprox. 40g
On my low day my carbs are around 150g. That's an approximate amount because I don't have the exact figures with me. So, high day cals are just under 2200cals. and on the low days are 1900cals.
Cardio this week has been 40min of steady state everyday.
I need to prevent as much muscle loss as possible with keep fat loss consistent.
What do I do? Increase carbs for a day, have a cheat meal?? I should be loosing 9lbs in 17 days. That 0.53 lbs/day. And that's alot. Whether it be muscle, water, or fat it's just too much as far as I am aware of.
Help would be appreciated.
Will post recent pics soon.
Pics were taken last night.
If you are concerned with too much weight loss add in a bit more protein and see what happens, if it works out add in a bit more, etc...
Also, don't get to caught up with your weight, water can play a big role and weight loss isn't linear. How is your strength? I find that's a better indicator of muscle loss.

Strength is still decent. I'm doing heavier sets this week and have not noticed a drop in strength as opposed to 2 weeks ago.
I could up the protein slightly each meal to say 35g x 7 meals, (from 28g), but that would increase my daily caloric intake by 200 cals so the total would be 2400cals/day, which wouldn't offset fat loss considerably but overtime it could. Works out to 1400 extra cals per week.
Maybe a really high carb day this Saturday might be inorder, and keep it all complex carbs and shoot for 400 to 500g.
Hey, I'm no expert by any means but you have to be careful. Like previous post says, for regional show, what you had going on last year was pretty good so you're close to where you want to be and want you want to do. Picking up a small tip here and there from posts here may be beneficial but it may screw things up too. You know your body best and my advice to you is pick someone who has some proven successes and lots of experience and let them assess you....deal with one person. As you are obviously from BC, I'd strongly recommend you get hold of JonnyO in the lower mainland...he'll make it happen for you. We'll be at the show so will get to see your end result....good luck.
My bad...I see he already touched base with you in post #2....so he's obviously willing to take you on. You won't be sorry...Originally Posted by razorsedge
