Im assuming this is a cut diet....
well i would definately try to keep ALL starchy and sugar carbs in the AM this is especially beneficial to YOU because that is when your workout is. After Your post workout cocktail; get some complex carbs with a lean protein source for 1 hour after, and the rest of the day stick to protein and fats only (efa's). This will keep insulin low as you metabolism slows as the day progresses.
Again definatly ditch the strawberries last meal.
try for 2 gals of water, when cutting carbs you lose quite a bit of water so you have to keep drinking.
Cardio after workout....Bad idea. do cardio on your off days upon wakening on an empty stomach, this will help tap into fat stores. As you progress through this low carb diet, your metabolism will start to slow, perhaps going back at night for a 2nd cardio session after workout days. Just remember to keep them 10 hours apart (roughly). Also keep your workouts 30 mins...yes that short, just lift real heavy and intense, but brief; cut your volume to keep your muscles at present size and strength. no more than 4 sets to failure. IMO.
dont go "gung ho" right away, ease into it, alot of people get anxious and diet/cardio too hard, this causes you to lose a ton of muscle aswell as you body not respond, meaning it will plateau.
so watch for overtraining signs, and get lots of sleep too, your body wont use stored energy if YOU dont have any.
good luck, keep us posted.
