Thread: Excersizing and loosing weight ?

There are no negative impacts in cutting carbs. Keep your protein up and get adequate fats and go kick ass in the gym.

Thank You for the reply. Whats a good way to keep protiens up and what are adequate fats ? Sorry for the questions , I just want to do things the right way this time around.

Hey there - another lower-carb dieter here. I lost the weight on the Atkins diet, lifting weights a few times a week. I keep it off with a lower carb intake than most.

How about you read homework I and see if you can figure out how to get in what you need from the foods you already eat. Any meat, eggs, fish, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt and whey powder are fine for protein. Avoid unfermented soy.

Healthy fats include olive oil, egg yolks, chicken skin, butter, raw nuts (walnuts are excellent) and fish oil, to name a few. Avoid flax oil, avoid vegetable oils, and avoid transfats (ie no shortening, no margarine).

Thanks Built - I will read that today and see what I can get from it. One horrible thing I have going against me is for a big guy im very fussy with food. I will definitly read it today and write my thoughts here later. Thanks you again for the reply.

If you're fussy, you'll like this setup - you get to use your own foods that you're already eating; you just rework their relative proportions.

Try this: work out one sample day in fitday. Post it up when you've got it worked out and we'll make suggestions from there.

I'm not a fan of low/no carb diets but they seem to work so go for it...

Not necessary to eliminate or reduce carbohydrate intake for cutting. Increased amounts of fats may temporarily help with satiety. Are you looking at performing a ketogenic diet? Read Lyle's book, lots of good literature about low carbohydrate intake and training.
