    When should I start cutting for summer? (Australia)

    Hey guys just wondering when I should start cutting for summer? I live in oz so it's still the last month of winter.

    Any tips would also be appriciated. I plan on introducing more cardio after weight sessions 4 to 5 times a week and slowly reducing carbs to just in the morning, Pre and post workout.

    Thanks in advance for any input!

    well depends mate. your bf% this can give a guideline of how long you roughly need to lean down. although people can lean down quicker than others.

    if its high start right now:P

    but if its kinda low. you can afford to wait lil longer.

    p.s. cant wait for summer

    well, if your diet and training are on, bet on 10lbs per month of weight loss so work back from there. Always good to get where you want to be a little bit a head of time so you dont hit that dreaded rebound if you have to start eating a lot of "fun food" when BBQ season hits.

    I made this mistake last year, I cut really hard just before I left for holidays, dropped the last 9lbs of fat in the 15 days before I went away and the day after I stopped dieting I started eating all the fresh fruit and steak and potato salad and shit and pounded on like 11lbs in 10 days. A lot was the sugars and water from the salt, but if I had stabalized for 2-3 weeks prior my body would have taken to it better.
