jump starting metabolism

[david_diesel]

ok i did a keto diet for 4 weeks back in may. i've been watching my carbs since then...limiting them to about 1g/lb body weight which for me is ~140g. i seem to have hit a plateau as far as losing body fat goes. i was able to attain 8.9 % 128lbs lean mass 12lbs fat tissue. i was wondering what to do to stimulate my fat loss again. i have had people tell me to take in more calories including more carbs but i really don't want to gain any body fat. i'm enjoying my cuts for the first time in my 27 years. i haven't done any cardio since june and my weight regimine is heavy weight 3 times a week. i'm eating right about maintenance calories. what can i do to jump start my metabolism again.

thanks

One option:

Drop keto dieting. Adopt 1 gram per lean pound of body mass. Rest carbs and some fat. Eat maintainence calories amount.

weight train as hard as u normally would but this time, add cardio.

I'll bet my left ball you'll lose some more fat.

forget keto dieting, its not for bodybuilders, we arent about burning proteins what so ever.

but do this... for cutting up keep very low carb, high protein (1.5 grams per pound of body weight), and moderate carbs. gets me shredded. oh ya, cardio at least 3 times a week i recomend sprints, its good for budling muscle, burning fat, and i dont find it very boring like jogging, fuck jogging.

Been dieting since May, and you're at 128 lbs? Best advice I can give is to take 2 to 4 weeks off of dieting. Gradually bump your carbs up, and calories in general. Build up a little, let your body recover. Then when you get back into it, any fat you've gained in the weeks off will come off QUICK, then more will follow. This has ALWAYS worked for me. In my opinion, you've just been dieting too long.

I have to agree with KD, I've seen and done the same things. But one thing strikes me ass odd, your eating close to maint? are you sure about that? I know Keto creates its own caloric deficit due to ketones being used at 7 calories as opposed to 9 but still.
