Guys its coming upto to summer, and Im managing to slowly slowly lose fat, but its taking time without supplements since my finances are a little tight recently, so I wanted to know if anybody can share the effectiveness of what im asking below....
If i was to cut back my carbs from say around 150-175 which I have a day at present (All Clean and Complex Carbs by the way) to lets say 100grams of carbs a day, or even 75 grams a day whilst keeping Fat intake moderate/higher then I normally do and Protein high as normal...
My main reasoning here is that it may be a better option then just following the normal 35-gram a day routine for fat loss Mon-Fri and then a refeed on the weekend...Which might cause me to lose strength or not have sufficient energy on my workout days Monday to Friday...
So...If i was to have say 75-100grams of Complex Carbs as opposed to the current 150-175 per day and in exchange increase my fat intake 25-40 grams or so, should this be enough to get my body to burn fat? Any idea even on wether my bodys energy source would switch to fat as opposed to carbs to some degree?
Also being vegetarian, If i was to do the 35gram Carbs a day Routine, it would be quite difficult as I would only be able to eat Cheese, and Egg through the whole day pretty much with around 2 slices of whole bread to play with to give me 30-35grams of my carbs seeing as I cant eat meat.
Any helpful advice on this would be most appreciated, particular from those with experience with dropping there carbs to this level. Cheers guys!
