Hi All,
I started following the 'Female' Pre Contest (Low carb diet); Daily Totals:Calories (KCL): 1541,
Protein (PT): 174, Carb: 21, Fat: 75.
I am not a fitness or bikini competitor or anything i just enjoy working out and trying to get as fit as i can. I train 6 times a week (Saturday to Thursday- rest on Fridays) and this diet is doing wonders for me but i have a few questions which i was hoping you guys could answer as i am approaching the end soon.
I am going into week 7 out of 12 tomorrow. So far, every week I have been replacing the fats with greens (either green beans or broccoli) at least 2 or 3 days. On cheat meal days i eat the 5 meals with the fats(peanut butter- cashews and almonds) and on the 6th have the cheat.
I was wondering 1. When should i stop having cheat meals? What week is recommended to remove them completely? I only started having them on Week 3/4 so far including last nights i have had 3 cheat meals total since i've started the diet.
2. I am confused about what i should be doing differently on the last and final week (Week 12), if someone could explain how i should eat on that final week in more detail i would be grateful. I don't get how the carb up works on this week, like what should my 6 meals look like for this week? The final week is based on their being a show on a Saturday which i don't have so im just a bit lost.
3rd and final question is; Once i am done with this diet what do you recommend i should do? I don't want to bounce back as sticking to this diet has really helped and i want to continue sticking to a plan. I was thinking of carb cycling for a while?
Thank you !!!
