Anyone do two high carb days a week when dieting?

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33467235/

I've always dieted hard and kept refeeds to once every two weeks to get it done fast as possible. Pretty rustled the amount of diets I've done where I could have came out of it with retaining more muscle each time. I assumed if I'm glycogen depleted and flat it just means I'm making quick progress but now it seems it wasn't ever necessary. If I keep 2 refeeds a week for the duration I think I could destroy the physique In my avi, tfw excited to be cutting

You're supposed to cut fat intake since it contains the most calories per gram

= easier weight loss




Have never cut out carbs or protonz; no carbs will make you weak & flat as a board

I set my deficit with a decent balance of proteins/carbs and fats. I throw in one weekly refeed at maintenance.

Keep it simple.

Depending on which show I am prepping for. With the Olympia being in December, I will begin playing around with carbs in October.

I'm actually looking forward to taking it slower, I've always rushed cuts so I'm excited to see what the end result will be this time with more fuel for training not feeling like a string bean for the duration

That's the way it should be done. The key to fat loss is to preserve muscle first and lose bodyfat second. Most people have this thought process backwards. Everyone seems to have the, "I want it now mentality."

Take is slow and trust the process.

Lost 25 pounds of Covid weight in the last 3 months carb cycling. Also up the intake of carbs on the days you're more active or doing lower body.

It doesn't have to be a torture. You have to be smart about it. But yeah, cutting out on fats is a no-go for me, and generally for nobody unless ur on tech.
