Hi all im very worried ive droped my carbs right down and doing cardio ro lose bf, i do measure myself alot and have noticed a size difference on the tape mostly shoulders (width) alottle in arms min on belly.

My worry is that im going to lose muscle gains instead of bf if i carry on this way what should i do should i carry on dieting?

are you eating every three hours? How low are your daily carbs.

 

[Mbb newlad]

Yes im eating every 2.30 - 3 hours carbs are around 30g daily

I had this problem while on keto. You could try upping the fats, or try a different diet if keto isnt working for you. I'm currently doing a high protein, moderate carbs and low fat and its working great, much easier than keto aswell.

thanks yoohoo1 for your input i think i may have to move my carbs up alittle ive only being dieting for 10 days and noticed a big size difference but i really want to lose the gut i dont know what to do!!!

I think BIGJOE lost mainly BF when on keto. A lot of people do loose a little bit of muscle mass when dieting, I know my self I did when dieting really hard.

its because your muscles are flat, as soon as u add carbs back in again u will fill out again.

Same position as you, leaned up in winter, now I've bulked, looking better with muscle but gained some gut and jeans are getting tight, and want to address this.

Yohoo also gave some good advice to me, after thinking about things, my macro's suggest I need 3200 cals standard a day, may drop my cals to 2800 on training days and 2500 on non training days, carbs max 80g per day and keep portein between 200g and 300g a day.
