Hey guys. I'm looking to lean out a little bit in the next 30 days and trying to figure out my diet. I'm 5'9 205-210 and currently at a true 9%. I have 6 abs showing, but want to get very lean because it seems that once I get down to a certain body fat I usually stay there. I will be using only "natural" supplements.
I started a keto diet (think carb nite style) last week and got so constipated that I had to stop. This is strange because I have had good success with keto diets before, but I don't want this to happen again so I'm thinking of doing a very low carb diet (100 g below including trace carbs) instead. I'm very carb sensitive, so for me going keto is the best way to lose fat.
My diet will be the typical 5-6 meals per day with fats and protein only except for 2/3 meals around (before, during, and after) my workout. On non workout days, I will go keto. And I don't count calories. From my experience, nutrient timing has always been far more beneficial to me than counting calories.
So my questions concern how to make the non keto but low carb diet work. I can't decide where I want to place the carbs. I train at night.
1st Question: Should I put my carbs during and after my workout or before and during my workout? I'm leaning toward the former.
2nd Question: The only supplements I'm using for fat loss are an ECA stack and yohimbine. Is there anything else that would be beneficial aside from clen, t3, or dnp?
3rd Question: Do you think that using berberine or metformin with my carbs will essentially make up for the fact that I'm not going completely keto? Berberine has been very powerful for me in the past, but I've never used it on a cut.
Last Question: How often should I employ a cheat meal? I was leaning toward once a week.
Thanks guys and sorry for the book.
