Although I'm a powerlifter, I think I'm getting too big, and want to find a happy medium between being strong and looking good. Currently I am 5'10" and about 242-245lbs. At 236lbs I had a body comp. done(calipers) and came in @ 19% bodyfat. I want to drop some weight drastically quick, but good weight. I know there is no easy way, and I'm prepared to bust my ass. I have a food scale, and am prepared to try the PSMF?, but I would like some more info on it. Is there anyone here in a situation like mine that has some results they can share? Also, my BMR was calculated at about 2600cal. So what should I go for in terms of a caloric goal, and with what kind of ratios of fat, carbs, and Proteins, also should the carbs be low GI or does it not matter, and can I subtract the fiber from the carb total? And how much and how often should I be carb loading in this phase. I'd like to try this method to get down to about 210lbs, then I'll do something like 2600-3000cals at about 20%fat 30%carb 50%protein. I know I'm going to lose strength on this diet, but energy permitting can I still work out like a powerlifter? or should I switch to BB style? Right Now I run 1-3mi 3-4 times a week, at a moderate pace, and work out with heavy weights 5 days a week. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
