    Id say one of the problems is right in front of us in the title.

    NO CARBS FOR A MONTH!

    Lowering carbs is a good way to reduce cals and loose weight, but completley cutting them is a big NO NO as far as im concerned.

    I think your body has possibly gone into starvation mode and is hanging onto what it has. When this happens ur metabolic rate slows so that you dont waste energy

    Id start cycling carbs and see what happens

    I dont think this is the only problem but i think it needs to be addressed

    I agree, but he would still have lost some weight! Not just fat but lean muscle as well.

    True but there would have been fat loss. Muscle loss, yes. Metabolic damage, maybe. But there would be significant weight loss if not for some for of sabotage.

    I am thinking sabotage also

    and did anyone catch that total macros is 2k for a 200+ guy?

    get those macros up

    keto is not for everyone. try carb cycling for sure. two weeks low, two weeks mid, one week high (complex only)

    hello all, sorry not got this up sooner,

    just done the break down on fit day from the food i`ve been eating the past month, it may vary slightly as it`s US based and i`m UK but its as follows..

    Total cals- 2,025 : Fat - 123.1 : Carbs - 51.8 : Protein - 184.2

    this is with the diet posted in the first post...

    I dont know what you mean by sabotage? could you explain or am i missing something ?

    Thanks for any more advice

    total cals are too low IMO and fats are too high
    if your trying to run a Keto diet you need to completly cut all carbs as you will becom more sensetive to them, although i wouldnt go keto


    protien is too low, aim for 1.5g per lean lb of body mass, do you know ur BF%

    this is with the diet posted in the first post...

    I dont know what you mean by sabotage? could you explain or am i missing something ?

    twist means u r sabotaging ur muscle mass, your protien, cals and carbs are too low, ur fat is too high unless you are going keto (but even if you were your carbs would be too high)

    Thanks for any more advice
