Use fats for energy then, the idea is you make your body burn off stored fat for energy... instead of using ingested food for energy.

Once your body gets used to the initial cut in calorie intake it will slow or halt fat loss, your next step is sack off the carbs and use fats instead.

Have you learned nothing from what i have posted in the past? Understand carbs are broken into glycogen, and if they are not used immediately for energy or repair, they will be stored as fat.

Dietary fats on the other hand, cannot be made by the body, they are seldom stored as body fat and are a slower burning source of energy, not to mention providing numerous health benefits.

Switch to dietary fats instead of carbs and keep your carbs to peri workout only whilst on a cut (the way just about every athlete does it) and you will burn fat faster.

I gotta say, i think you do hate on carbs alot dizzy. Ive been reading loads of forum posts about people cutting, and advice from the senior members on some of the sites i use. They all say you still need carbs in your diet, some say 40% carbs - 40% protien - 20% fat.

Others however say 25%-25%-50%

So it seems to me, its very much down to the individual. Im gonna stick with my diet for a while, see how it goes.

You find senior members are mainly power lifters that look ripped for about 4 weeks of the year the rest of the time they look like over inflated beer barrels.

Bulk and cut is dead, macro cycling IS the way to build lean mass without adding excess fat.

Carbs whilst cutting should be >50g and i dont give a fuck what anyone says, after a week of low carbs and high fat your body gets used to getting energy the way its supposed to, by using up body fat. The human body was never intended to be filled full of processed carbs like rice, pasta, breads and grains etc and consequently carbs lead to fat gain. If you want to cut properly and really attack fat stores, you have zero dairy produce in your diet, zero sugar and less than 50g of carbs daily. Have 70-90g of fat and 300-400g of protein and it will strip fat. Proven to work in labs, on the feild and on thousands of joe publics.

The carbs you are eating are only slowing fat loss, prolonging the cutting phase when it could be spent building new muscle.
