The diet looks real good from my stand point. Why are you lowering the carbs are you trying to cut? I Keep mine that low to cut that is why i am asking.

I hope you work your way down in cals towards that.

I don't know your stats so i can't make a proper evaluation, but that seems like a very low calorie diet. I would personally say only go down that low for the last two weeks maybe?

Rememeber to gradually make your way down in calories.

You realize that when you cut carbs as a calorie source you have to introduce them back gently to your program when going through a transition period.

So you guys know, I currently weigh 168 and have been dieting at around 2000 kcal for about 8 weeks now. Before I had my carbs at around 200g, and fat at around 25g.

And yes I'm currently cutting.

Mac, when you say transition stage, do you mean when I decide to finish cutting, and decide to start raising my cals to maintain or bulk?

[Maki Riddington]

yes Av that is what I meant.
