I was wondering if you will have the same outcome in cutting bf%, from a no carb diet at 1200 cals/day or if you just consume 1200 cals/day it will have the same outcome?

Cals in vs Cals out yes... BUt not all Cals are created equal.
Also Protein is a building block for nuscle tissue growth/repair. In the absence of carbs the body may use this (by glucogenesis) as energy.
Carbs are protein sparing. Although no/low carb may be a quick fix I feel implementing carbs is a better approach.
Alright so good carbs with protein up an cals low? Sounds better then suffering a no carb diet, thanks bro!
You need to calculate your TDEE and take down 500kcal.Quote:

I see ABSOLUTELY NO PLACE for NO CARB diets UNLESS you are dwindling down for a competition or you just want to be that douche and get really lean because of an upcoming vaction....Those would really be the only 2 options in my opinion...Quote:

What you want to do is carb cycling....It keeps your body ALWAYS guessing which helps eliminate plateaus in weight loss...
