[QUOTE="bkb33, post: 138058, member: 38008"] I've been doing something similar. It's much like the approach in Jay Campbell's Metabolic Blowtorch Diet: fast and eat keto-ish on 'rest' days, carb up and eat more heavily on lift days. On rest days, I often fast for 24 full hours (dinner one night to dinner the next) and only consume 1200-1500 calories. On lifting days, I do a 16:8 fast and consume 1800-2000 calories. I always aim for 150g protein, regardless of the day. Fasting has been a true game-changer for me. Eating within a restricted window makes it so much easier to get abs. And there is research that shows it is muscle-protective! So far, this approach has worked really well for me in terms of recomposition. You're essentially alternating cutting days with maintaining/building days, which allows you to gradually peel off fat while holding onto (or even gaining some) muscle. It's not necessarily the most expedient way to get shredded, but I think it's the best. Like you, I've lost a lot of weight (45 pounds) in the last few years, but I also lost a bunch of muscle in the process. No desire to repeat that. [/QUOTE]
