Problem with my diet, advice needed

[Norman Bates]

Ok, i´m doing a low carb right now (carb < 40 gramms) with an average of about 1800 cals per day ( about 130 protein and 120 fat). I´m cheating 2 days per week with carbs and more protein.

The strange thing: i didn´t loose fat , but was able to gain strength and a few mm on the arm ( i don´t measure the rest) within 2 weeks.

Now i wonder if i have somehow screwed my metabolism and should do a few months of bulking and restart my diet then or if i should stop cheating.

Any advice welcome.

F me dude 120 grams from fat! DAMN!! What is you LBM? Mine is 170 and I eat about 1700 (55/20/25) 60 grams of carbs, mostly after workouts. I would suggest you try something along this line.

I think you are not eating 1800. you probably are calculating bad your caloric intake and taking more.
I don't see also any problem in terms of 120 grs fat if the caloric intake would be good calculated, you would still losing weight. The ratio is not the usual for low carb like crum. Protein are low and fat high, but still if there was 1800 calories you would probably losing weight.
Also what are your measures?

[Norman Bates]

Maybe i should do a little bulking before i restart my diet?

 

[MrMuscle]

thats up to you, but i think your body would benefit from it.

I ´ll try the diet for another week. If it doesn´t start to work i´m going to bulk.
