1 month cut?
I am desperately trying to drop down to the 8-9% BF range. I am currently about 12% at 188lbs and 5'9". I havent been past this BFP since I was 18
.
Its almost lake time here in the valley and there is no freaking way I'm sporting luv handles this year! Need to know about how many calories I should be taking in and at what percentages (p/f/c). I currently WT 3 days and do Cardio 3 days a week. Any help would be greatly appreciated!When you sit to dine with a ruler,

One month isn't very long... you should have started 2 months ago... but you can still make some progress...
Are you kidding me????

I actually started 2 months ago, but only have one month left until we start hitting the lake. I was 205lbs when I started. So I've made progress. Just getting a bit discouraged since I realized I'm running out of time. I checked out the stickies and there is a ton of info there thanks! Can't find a basis for calorie intake but I might not be looking in the right place.

Try Twin Peak's Carb Cycling. If you follow it strictly, you will drop the fat fast. Many have used it with great success.

I am currently doing TP carb cycling and I like it alot. It was tricky at first and unless you stay strict you don't see those fast results. I have been going pretty hardcore and trying to do it to the best of my ability and I see some progress. My strength is still there completely and I have been getting stronger each week. I don't feel I have been losing LBM however I do see some changes in my body. More veins, less fat in certain areas. I just can't wait to see how I look in another 3 months.

If you eat like you should on the High Carb days, and the cheat like a mofo on the other days, you are screwed.

and for the ladies (not to be sexist but it seems the women do this more)....you're ALSO screwed if you decide to trim back your carbs on high carb days and/or make up for a cheat by adding in a no carb day etc. etc.
seems like people overwhelming love TPs carb cycling and get great results when they don't mess with it.

I started a new thread with my diet and calorie intakes. No one has responded yet but it would give you a better idea as to what I'm eating. I believe I'm eating well, just not sure how much i should be eating. I prefer to stick to a 6 day a week diet and maybe refeed on the 7th for 6hours or so. Any suggestions on calories or the refeed? Here is my diet again.

Not sure if you have seen it, but this months issue of Mind and Muscle (released yesterday) has a detailed follow up on Carb Cycling -- it is a Q and A of numbers questions asked.Originally posted by Av8tor

I think you can go from 12% to 10% in a month. Shouldn't be a problem, you're only looking at roughly a 1-2 pound loss there.
