Fellas,
Since Im gonna be sitting at home till the end of march and can't really do much (due to havin foot surgery, which is all healed up, but needs to be immobile for a long ass time), I was wondering if goin on a keto diet would be a good idea. I just wanna get rid of some excess fat that I've packed on while bulking. Up until now, I was pretty much just maintaining, but I don't feel like I'm really accomplishing anything and wasting my time, and I can't lift with my legs, or really lift heavy in alot of things, so bulking is out.
I've figured out my lean body mass, and the appropriate amount of protein and carbs per day, and I've even done a meal plan that I could follow. I just have a few questions, I know alot of people here have done different forms of the diet, so I'm looking forward to some diverse answers. So here are my questions:
1. I have my foot in a cast, so I don't know how much cardio I'm going to be able to do other than my 4 days of lifting, which I can do with little rest between sets to keep my HR up. Should I even bother cutting if I cant do cardio 100%?
2. What is the maximum amount of carbs one can consume a day (assuming 200lb lbm), because I know whey and storm have ~4 g per serving, and if I can get away with 30g of waxi maize before I work out I think it would help energy levels.
3. I'm planning on staying on the diet until the end of march/early april when I am fully mobile, and then will be full swing bulking to get my legs back up, is this relatively short span of time spent cutting even worth it?
Any other input you guys have would also be great. Thanks.
