Okay, thanks for your input neomeena. I will most likely stick to Carb Cycling anyway, just wanted to try something new! Thanks again for all those answers :)
Yeah, I've read somewhere that some people have to stay on this diet longer and I don't plan on doing this. I already noticed lower performance both at work and at the gym, so there is no point in turning my life upside down just for my whim :)
Usually at the end of the week - so it's probably lack of carbohydrates that is bothering me. I will try adding another cheat day, if it won't help then I will just simply switch back to CC.
I was already suspecting it, that it may be due to carbs deficiency, but 50 grams is really not that small of an amount, so I'm stil worried that I react so badly to lack of carbohydrates
Thanks a lot! I always used carb cycling for cutting, but I wanted to try something different. I only intend to lose 15 pounds and my metabolism is pretty fast already - I have already dropped 8 pounds in 3 weeks and I didn't even cut calories that much, just added more cardio :) I will try to include this second cheat day as you have told me, thanks.
If it won't help, I'm switching back to Carb Cycling with only two low carb days and rest of them on high carbs - this model worked pretty good for me in the past :)
Hey, everybody! So I recently got on a low carb diet to lose weight. I consume less than 50g of carbohydrates per day, around 120-130g of fat and 160g of proteins. It equals to around ~2000 kcal.
I'm on this diet for 3 weeks already and as I've seen noticeable progress I'm feeling tired/exhausted and I don't really have any motivation to do anything.
I work out for 3 years already and I consider myself to be pretty advanced lifter, but I have never tried this diet before. I would also like to point out, that I'm consuming a lot of carbs after workout in Sunday as my "big" cheat meal, so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. Do you have any ideas?
