Reply With QuoteGreat topic! I am also interested. I have a carb sensitivity, so the best cutting diet for me has been carb cycling or no carb high protein with refeeds.

What works best for you on a cut?
Diet-wise, what seems to work best for you wrt macros? I always thought keto worked best for me, but when I factor in performance, keto is a no-go.
My recent diet just focused on cals and getting enough carbs for intense workouts, and it has surpassed the keto diets by far.If sense were common, everyone would have it.

if i cut carbs low, i can lose quickly, but i am a walking zombie. so it's a no no for me.
i'd rather lose slowly and be able to think.

Hahhaha!
Seriously though, being as balanced as possible in my diet has helped me cut more fat than I thought possible while still making decent muscle and strength gains.

Low carb, low fat, high protein with one cheat day a week and one refeed.
Works wonders for me

I just go super basic.
Calorie controlled. Set my fats, set protein, fill in the rest with carbs. Done.

Similar to me:
1. Set cals.
2. Set protein.
3. Get healthy fats.
4. Get pre/post workout nutrition.
5. Get healthiness - fibre, vitamins, minerals [fruits, vegetables etc]
6. Fill in the rest with what you wish (carbs usually).~

Pardon the off-topic interruption, but are you the same Emma-Leigh as in Bodybuilding.com Forums - View Single Post - eat the carbs last when in a meal? ? If so, is that excellent article on this site?

Keto doesn't work for me either, but it may be that I can't handle it mentally and don't really find the point in it if I can cut fine without it. Either I crack and eat a ton of brown rice after making a bunch at one time, or my workouts feel like I'm always running on empty. Personally, the way I find that works best for me is just a consistant clean diet but strict, trying to get as close to a calorie amount as possible. Consistant weight training and cardio as well. Macronutrient ratio doesn't seem to have a big impact, although I generally shoot for 40/40/20. Originally Posted by Dale Mabry
