Basically, over the past year, I've had dramatic weight loss. I started at around 260lbs with an estimated BF% of high 30s-low 40s. I'm now around 28% ish. Now I'm at a point where I'm floating between 220 - 210 mainly because I'm a university student and i enjoy a beer and my diet hasn't been great recently. A friend suggested I lower my carbohydrates and increase my protein and fats which would help shed more weight rather than decreasing calories. However, I know theres lots of stigma related to carbs and most of my training is fasted as I do intermittent fasting. I read in an article that while cutting for longer periods of time, it would be better to have a slightly higher carb intake as they're anabolic and help preserve muscle. I usually consume around 100g of carbs a day and i train 5 times a week. I was thinking of maybe increasing them to 150 and dropping my fats. I usually consume around 170g protein, 100 carbs and about 100 fat.
The reason for this long winded thread, is that my whole life I've been an 'endomorph' but ive noticed that these labels are becoming more and more redundant now. I've always researched for my body type and they always tell me to avoid carbs but now theres lots of new research suggesting maybe I shouldn't be so scared of them.
Any pointers guys?
Thanks in advance! 😄
