I'm new the board and have a few questions.
At the end of June I weighed 175 lbs and stand 5'9". I don't know my body fat % but I definitely could stand to lose some. So I went on the Atkins diet, pretty successfully and dropped down to 163. I have since started lifting weights and doing cardio on alternate days and changing my eating habits.
On Atkins I was happy eating steaks and salads,... but I have since switched to a 6 meals a day with balanced carbs and protein. I am on day 9 of my training program and weight hasn't fluctuated and I think it's too early to tell about muscle mass or strength gains.
My goals are to lose body fat, stay around the same weight and add muscle. Should I revert to a Keto type diet with my training or should I stick to carb/protein balance ?
Thanks
