Im considering starting a keto cut. Ive done keto before for nearly 2 weeks but in the second week my weight training was very poor in terms of performance and I ended it. It was also the first time I tried keto and I wasnt used to feeling so glycogen depleted and "small" However it was very easy to be on a cut while using keto as I didnt get cravings and it was maintainable.
Lately ive tried high carb, moderate protein moderate fat but still on a slight deficit and it was maintainable but the result were too slow and if I cut calories more than 300/500 deficit a day get too strong cravings.
I just want todo a 8 week burst of cutting and get it over and done with, lean out completely with the sole goal of fatloss and muslce maintaince as much as possible.
My plan was to start a keto diet again. Maintence for me is around 2800/3000 kcal so id aim for 2000 kcal a day.
1g protein per pound of bodyweight. <50g indirect carbs and the rest fats. Intermittent fast 16/8
The difference will come with my training. Im going to rest from the weightlifting and instead do 45/60 mins Light/Moderate intensity cardio a day.
Maybe once or twice a week il do a weightlifting session squats, bench, row, overhead press and dips. sets of 5 reps.
This is mainly to try to preserve muscle.
The only supplements il be using is creatine and 400mg testosterone a week.
Has anyone any input im mainly looking to know your opinion on if id lose muscle.
Thanks for reading. Id appreciate any input.
