Sorry it took so long to post on this thread, Ive been pretty busy and totally forgot about it. Carbs are important when cutting and as popular as the no cabr high fat diets may seem to be, you wont find a pro that doest use carbs while cutting and preparing for a comp. Carbs have their place in cutting diets, its just a matter of using the right ones and using them at the right times. I had used a no carb high fat diet a few years back and was scared to death of carbs, til I broke down and gave it a try this year, and you can see the results. I had a very hard time mentally with the no carb approach, thats all I fucking thought about, all day long, CARBS! The diet I went with this year, with the addition of carbs, I had very little cravings and I didnt have dreams of white bread and donuts every night. I dont want to get to into detail, I could type for hours, but the best advice I can give is try adding carbs in slowly, if your using a no carb diet, adding them in the first few meals, and in your post workout meal. I go from a bulking diet to slowly taking carbs away, beginning in the evening hours, unless I train at night, if I train at night I still need the carbs post workout. Every couple weeks I take another carb meal out, the lowest I go is 200g carbs for the final month and then about 100g the last week. But, the majority of the fat loss is when Im getting about 300-200g carbs per day. I only add efas to 1 or 2 meals through the day, no more, so there isnt that much fat in the diet. Try it out, just remember that you cant be scared of carbs.
