please critique diet - lost 20lbs so far

[ziggz]

Everybody has their own views and ideas on such things. I am just referring to what I am currently doing and what works for me. Im 39, 5'7 185 and about 19%bf. I have tried a lot of different ways to shed bf and I found one thats working for me. I did not see much results doing only 30 min so I kicked it up to 45 and started to notice a dif. And last week I also added HIIT on 2 of the 5 days I do cardio. I also have my daily carbs at 3%, But remember Im carb cycling every 14 days and I am using fats for energy.

Im going to roll with this for a while and go from there..

You will just have to come up with a plan and stick with it for a few weeks and decide from there if what you are doing is good and stick with it or change it up.

You must be patient my friend. And do yourself a favor, if you have a scale, throw it out. It will drive you mad!!

Good luck!

haha I hear ya on the scale thing :P I only weigh myself once a week.. 3% carbs wow.. that's rough.. I'm gonna aim for 20-25% carbs and see how that works and cycle a 40/40/20 day every few days/once a week (not sure yet).. I think between the exercise and the caloric deficit, I should continue to lose weight.. thanks for the advice!

youre welcome. If you find yourself in a sticking point ( like I did ) you may have to change it up. Your body will tell you....
