A month ago I did did a low carb diet with only taking in 50 -100 grams max a day, and i lost about 8 lbs of fat and kept up the cardio about 45 mins 5 days a week. I know 8lbs isnt alot to lose but i only wieghed 175 5'9 and i didnt have much fat on me, i was just trying to see if the diet worked and to see how cut i could get. Now i know what diet to do before summer.
