Progressive Weight Loss Plan

Well, I have gone through cleaning up my eating and food shifting, it is now time to move to calorie restriction through carbohydrate rotation.  This particular program is geared toward “bodybuilders” so I don’t have to be as strict with the carbohydrate rotation but I like the concept so I may do this anyway.  The goal is to reduce my calorie intake by 10%—so, based on my maintenance of 2000 calories I need to shave off about 200 calories.  This can be done by rotating my carbohydrate consumption (low, medium, high days).  On the low carbohydrate days you increase you protein and healthy fats—that will work well with the increased protein on days that I do my metabolic resistance training.  The higher carbohydrate days will help replenish my glycogen stores depleted from training.  Overall, this should work well with my current training regime.  I will let you know what carbohydrates I am cutting on my podcast.
