I'm wondering if now is the time to make some dietary changes...
I have seen changes in my body with the diet + training program I've been following since Mid January, however, I want to know when I should be "switching it up" to prevent a plateau, and what I should do differently.
Right now I'm consuming 1500 cals with a split of 50/30/20 - 200g P/100g C/35g F
oreduce protein & carb intake?
ocarb cycling?
olower carbs & increase fat?
oFasting?
Keep in mind, I can retain a lot of water so I'm unsure if carb cycling is the best option for me, but I could be wrong. It could work wonders for me if done correctly.
I'm very happy w/ my progress so far, but this is nothing new to me. I lose inches, look & feel better and then I get my period and BAM, hello water weight, & I'm almost back to where I started. It sucks ass. However, last month I did cheat during that time. I was under a lot of stress & my cravings got the best of me. I'm not going to allow that to happen this month so we will see how quickly I can bounce back. As wonderful as it is being a woman, sometimes it sucks for this very reason! Lol :(
Anyways... Hoping to gain some advice and feedback on whether or not to keep the diet the same or change... Below are my starting pics versus pics I took this morning .. Progress for sure, but that damn lower tummy is so hard to budge! Grrrrr. I want that gone.
