hey raynor
im getting paranoid and wondering if keto is best for me
I've lost around 20lbs which is great and i feel good, i jst dont kno if its the best thing for me
My weight loss has slowed down and i went back to check the problem and my protein intake was too high and my fats were too low
so i adjusted it and got this..
2000cal / 155g fat / 150g protein / <25g carbs (i weigh 170-175)
Im just wondering if i should switch to a high protein intake like this
2000cal / 40g carb / 200g protein / 200g carbs
thoughts?
For pure cutting no, and for pre-contest no.
If anything you need to increase the amount of activity you have every day by doing 30 mins of HIIT cardio 3-4 times a day (staggered). For example, when jay cutler gets into the last few weeks leading up until contest, that psychopath wakes up twice in the middle of the night to run on his treadmill. He is a sick sick man....but also has a tremendous physique to show for it.
Now is the proving grounds, where we separate the men from the boys.
Jack the cardio up, keep the diet proper with protein/fats, and get in the zone. You can also try sleeping with a heating pad on the areas that require more fat loss. Remember, the more heat to an area, the more the body will be encouraged to burn up fat stores there.
You are doing great so far, keep up the good work - just remember, more activity at this point is BETTER.
Just make sure to keep the muscles constantly challenged, pumped, stretched to ensure maximum size/vascularity/volume for the contest.
