Total Transformation - Cutting Diet

[Back In Black]

If you are purely doing an Atkins and no refeed and not counting calories or macro's then you are likely to lose a fair amount of LBM.

And you'll need to be real careful that you start reintroducing carbs slowly, possibly over a 4 week period, so you don't regain a load of weight.

Don't get me wrong, Atkins style diet has it's advantages, but a proper CKD with measured calories and macro's is much better for people who lift.

Just my .02!

SteM, you are making a good point and you got my attention.
I will do some research on CKD and carb cycling today. Can you help me and give me links to good threads, articles, source of info about these two?
Could you give me a suggestion of what to do tomorrow or the following few days while I am doing my researches? I will be not training in the next few days. I am sick and doing very little activities now

The other solution is to stay on Atkin's diet for a longer period, maybe 6 months at the least. A person suggested that I stay for at least 1 entire year.
