Sports nutrition questions

I am currently on a 9 week cut. I'm down about 7 lbs with 3-5 more to go. I have been cutting on a lower carb diet with total carbs around 50-60 grams. My cut ends at the end of July at which time I want to have a planned refeed day and then slowly start reversing out for 8 weeks. Has anyone done a refeed? What did you do? Can anyone give advice on the best way to reverse? How much do I increase carbs and lower fats and at what rate? My hope is to begin a lean bulk after reversing out of the cut.

Hi Dub,

I am currently working on scheduling a body fat test- either Dexa or Bod Pod. I currently guess myself at around 28%. I think 24% is a realistic goal but 22% would be amazing.

@@erp - Holy cow Erp, you look fantastic. Great job. And for a non-professional athlete type, 24% would be fantastic for any woman. I'd start a blog or a business to start helping others tracking numbers like you have. And that's not a joke. You have done some fantastic work, and it looks complicated, and you should be compensated for it for clients who want your help. I think I would subscribe, that is great stuff.

Thank you OKCPirate! I credit strength training for my shape. I booked a metabolic/body fat test (Bod Pod) for Friday so now I'll know where I really stand. I actually would love to become a trainer specializing in working with WL clients to show women what is possible. Never in a million years did I expect to fall in love with strength training - especially not when I was 260+ lbs.

From 50% body fat to 21% body fat. Pretty good for an over 40 gal! Now I need a new goal.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
