To really cut, drop the carbs, sub in sweet potatoes, brown rice! Also oats in the morning would be better than bran flakes!
Limit your carbs to post workout meals. This works for me.
You know that all those items are carbs?Limit your carbs to post workout meals. This works for me.
Didnt make myself clear at all.
I've tried this for the past 4 months.
Monitored calories in vs calories out and have been in a deficit of 500cal per day from January (had almost all of Feb off due to holidays).
My weight started at 71kg @ 13% body fat, I'm now 65kg @ 8.1% body fat. My strength has improved quite a bit (165kg deadlift, 120kg squat & 77.5kg bench) and I feel much better and obviously look quite a bit different.
I do no cardio at the gym, I cycle on the road but monitor how many cal are burnt then I eat back those calories.
I eat anything, as long as it fits in my daily macros - I consume 150g protein and 50g fats a day - the rest is carbs.
This method works for me and it is easily sustainable as I don't need to be on a strict diet. If I go over on calories 1 day (chocolate bar/cake whatever) I'll just jump on the turbo trainer and knock off those calories again.
