Greetings, my Best Buddies!
I am pretty discouraged with the Idiot Box these last two weeks. I looked back one year ago to see exactly what was better working for me - it is less calories, more fat, slightly less protein and carbs well under 10%.
I will drop my RDI again and see what happens!
So, here goes cutting back and down! Let's burn the fat!

Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle - Tom Venuto
Short Range Goals:
* Macros 60%-70% fat, 20-30% protein, 10-15% carbs - better under 10%!
* Back in the "Blue" on Idiot Boxes while retaining muscle - June?
* Drink at least 12 - 14 cups of fresh water daily - especially on gym days
* Continue HIIT mixed in with weight lifting four to five days
* Keep up the training notebook to achieve progressive overload
Long Range Goals: 2017
*Bodyfat at 20% (Current 24.5%) by year end 2017
*Maintain Idiot Boxes around 152-158lbs staying under goal weight
*Increased strength, endurance and flexibility during workouts
NEW Words of the Week:“Temptation is not to be feared, but controlled.”
I am dedicated, determined and diligent!

It's great that you keep experimenting and then using those results to get the results you want.

Your focus is inspiring me to refocus as well. I've been functionally in maintenance, not weight loss, so time to get back on it!

Hard to believe that you need to cut back protein to less than 10%. I would think at less than 10% you'd burn muscle. If I dip below 15% pro, and up my fat beyond 20% I lose muscle and gain fat. I don't add weight, but my cloths get tighter. Maybe first cutting all cals by a bit, and adding low glycemic veggies. Just a thought. I know were are all different, and our bodies react to different approaches, but I wouldn't think we are that "much" different. Looking forward to seeing how you remedy this.

NO - AdamEveGod. I am cutting the CARBS to under 10%. I use a ketogenic approach which is low carb, moderate protein and high fat. The body then has to use the dietary fat and fat stores for energy. It seems counter intuitive but works. I had a great workout this morning fueled by fats! My protein is usually 20-30% a day.
|
For example: today's macros are fat 65%, protein 27% and carbs 8%
|
You have to remember you had a boot on for awhile!! Keep up the consistency and you got this!!

What do you eat to stay that low on carbs

My mistake, have no idea why I thought "protein," sorry for the mixup.
