Hi all,

I'm a newbie here with an unusual problem which is the following. I have problems with my cutting diet. Let me introduce myself. I'm 193 cm tall (6'1"????dunno ), 98 kg (it's about 216 lbs???) with 14% bodyfat. I think I have a fairly slow metabolism. I planned a 8 week cutting diet because I wanted to drop 10 lbs or more but I interrupted it at week 5 because my bodyfat didn't changed at all and my muscles became a lot weaker. I lost that 10 pounds but I'm afraid 8 of that came from muscles. My diet consisted of 40% protein, 40-50% carb, 10-20% fat mainly from good sources. I ate 2500 KCals on cardio days, 2700-2900 KCals on lifting days. I did cardio 4 times/week, each about 40 minutes long, weightlifting 3 times/week, each about 40-60 minutes. My food came from turkey, milk, yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese, whole bread, vegetables, whey protein, olive oil.

Earlier I had a 12 week cutting diet where I lost 22 pounds but half of that came from muscles. That diet was the same but I did cardio 5-6 times/week each of that at least 90 min. I thought that that was the reason I lost a lot of muscle therefore I decided to cut down the amount of cardio, but it coldn't help.

I don't know where the problem is(within me?). I'd be very pleased if somebody could help me. If you need more information to solve this problem then let it me know.

P.S.: I tried that shit CKD and I achieved ketosis after 3 days but I couldn't lose weight, just water. My carb up day lasted only 12 hrs.

It is my opinion that you are not taking in enough calories. Because of that, your body may be digesting lean muscle mass. The amount of cardio and lifting that you do requires a ton of calories.

In my opinion, you would be best served to increase your intake of veggies and fruit (low glycemic, slow burning fuel) and decrease your starches, pasta, breads, bagels, rice, potatoes etc (high glycemic , fast burning fuels) except for immediately after a long or hard session of training, and then only in moderation. The high glycemic foods slow cutting. Your protein should stay high.

Cut out the bread and cheese.... use only non fat milk and cottage cheese. Cut out saturated fat and hydrogenated oils .... and trans fatty acids.

A slow metabolism requires low glycemic foods because the high glycemic index foods are flash burned and stored as fat. The exception is immediately (within 30 minutes) of training hard. At this time your body can utilize the flash burned calories and fat is not a result. Otherwise the slow burning fuel can be used as it is assimilated and no or little additional fat results.
