I'm making a transition to cut soon "I actually started my cut about a month ago but due to a shoulder injury i decided to resume slow bulking for a little longer to prevent muscle loss 'okay strategy?'". at the peak of my bulk i was about 208lbs 13-14%bf im guessing topping at around 3800 calories/day.

I'm naturally skinny fat "If endo, meso, and ecto are a triangle i am between ecto and endo at the far side from meso.

I figured the best type of cut for someone of my body type would be carb cycling. "any input guys?"

as for workout: i would do light 30-40 min cardio every training day "5-6 days a week" in the morning aprx. 6-7am on only protein, and come back after classes are done at about 3pm and do lifting "in hopes of a fast metabolism from the time i wake." "I change my regimen very often but usually use schedules from online databases consisting of 5-6 day splits." occasionally 3 day splits done 2x in an 8 day cycle for cutting.

bodybuilding staples that i cannot acquire in Korea: american style sweet potato "instead bodybuilders here substitute with 고구마 goguma/koguma. no cottage cheese. i dont know where to find brown rice all tho white rice is EVERYWHERE. no protein BARS, energy BARS "super expensive to import".

as for the actual carb cycle "which is where i REALLY need help" here she goes. I study nutrition a lot in my free time but still have a lot of flaws i think. I only speak Korean with the trainers/ bodybuilders here "as i live in Korea" so there's the fact that i'm not 100% fluent "but well versed" stacked on top of the fact that my body type is very different from a Korean bodybuilders makes getting help from gym buddies more difficult :(

** I have never taken any form of hormone cycle as of yet*************


If anyone can give me advice, pointers, or help in ANY form PLEAAASE do so. I don't live in a place where people of my body type train, and i can't speak to people about it in my native tongue, so while im doing my best it is harder for me sometimes i think.

this is a long thread so i want to thank whoever gives me advice in advance!!!!!!!! thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :grouphug:
 
Hmm your diet seems very well structured, maybe try an ECA stack to aid you in your journey to a slimmer you?

Also if you can't buy any bars, just make your own, you can find various recipes. I've never made protein bars, I just drink whey shakes.

Also for carb cycling, I've never done it but I have a somewhat BASIC understanding of it.

On workout days you increase carbs, on non training days you limit your carbs.

I heard that ECAs were really only good for people getting ready for competition "as they may only make a 1-2% difference in body fat, which in a competition could mean the difference between 1st and 2nd". if you really think it wold make a big difference tho, i might see if i can find one. -thanks by the way

anyone else have any advice on this diet?
