Cutting Diet Plateau

[pintoca]

You didn't say use a ketosis diet but I'm saying he should. He said he was taking sugar before and after workout if you reread what he said I'm saying to not do that and hence am agreeing with your number 3 with the exception that He may want sugar before cardio to help his performace. Therefore I am saying if so , drink milk preferably skim instead of dextrose maltodextrin

for fat loss, there is NEVER a time when sugar before cardio is a good idea; he would need to burn that sugar before tapping into fat reserves.

For endurance or cardiovascular benefits, I am all for carbs before and during cardio. But as in most things in life, you cannot have your cake and eat it: You either go for endurance and have sugar before or you go for fat loss and skip the sugar,

As for recommending a Ketosis diet, not too sure. I tipically recommend what I have tried before and since I have not tried ketosis myself, I can't recommend it. I understand though, it is not a diet for everybody and something less restrictive would work best for most people (if anything because it is easier to follow).

As I have said many times: nothing against CKD or any restrictive diet (lots of people get ripped doing them), but to each its own

Milk before cardio? Guaranteed to make me puke........

One last note. Since he is 15-17% bodyfat , he is probably wanting to look more muscular and cut. What may help him further is to replace one of the cardio's twice a day with one circuit training. High rep 10-15 3 sets with little to no rest and this will burn just as much calories as cardio plus help his upper body look better.
