    cutting carbs during pct

    just started my pct after first cycle of test cyp (400g for 11 wks)
    put on 18lbs total
    felt a bit smooth though at the end
    so i cut down on my carbs during the 18 days prior to pct (which started yesterday)
    is this a bad move and should i wait till after pct to try and lose the smoothness.
    diet during 11 wk cycle;
    protein 350g
    carbs 550 (Now 350)
    fat 100
    all approx and calories 4000 - 4500
    eat very healthy all the time
    lost 2lbs during this 18 days but thats all
    thanks for help
    age 47
    weight 192 up from 176
    height 5`11"
    training 20 years on and off last 3 non stop.

    i would be careful how much i cut during pct, this is the time when you are trying to keep your body from losing muscle, so i would keep the carbs and protein high till the end, but thats JMO

    so you think i should up the carbs back to 550
    should i have expected to have lost more weight by now after my cycle
    or does that kick in more, later during pct

    yeah i would, even though that's a lot of calories, any fat you gain you can cut after pct

    as far as when you lost weight, that depends on the individual
