quitting a low carb diet while avoiding alot of weight gain? 1
Ok so here is the deal, ive been on an extremly low carb diet(20-25grams a day) Since The start of June and Im doing great. I went from 260 to close to 200 fast. Of course I do alot of cardio, heavy bag training and lifting to help drop the fat faster and help retain muscle. Now that I am almost at my goal weight of 185 I am thinking of getting off the low carb diet so i can do a proper clean bulk. I did alot of research on quiting the low carb diet and of course.. everything seems biased. lc advocates claim they gained all their weight back after quiting low fat advocates right off the back say that you will gain all the weight back even if they have never tried the diet sooooo…i did some thinking and am planning on doing some things to prevent weight gain and I need some feed back from you guys.
1: Slowly higher the amount of carbs I eat by 2 per day
2: It seems that the first thing to move the scale —-> is increased water weight. What if I were to take water pills for the first couple of weeks to balance out things
3: Lower my calories by a couple hundred per day for the first month or so
4: Increase cardio work outs and do less weight training
5: Take a carb blocker for a while, that way I can consume 200 carbs but only absorbe half of the carbs
6: Get to my goal weight and then minus another 10 pounds so that way if i do gain water weight back ill still end up at my goal weight
Im new to keeping fit but the above seems like it would counteract the effects of quiting the diet. I think most people get super fat after they quit the diet because
1. they over indulge on all the bad kinda carbs
2: flatout over eat because they felt deprived of being full like they were used to. I mean come on, the only way to lose weight is to burn calories. I dont see how people can gain weight if they eat less calories then they actually use no matter what makes up those calories.
3. lost more muscle then they had before they started the low carb diet therefore they are not burning calories like they were pre low carb but eating as they did before(im guessing thats why people gain the weight back and then some)
So yeah let me know if i need to make some changes to my plan
