So, I recently have started to implement a 3x/week full body routine and really enjoy it. Currently, I do 8 exercises, 2-3 sets and 8 reps. Basically, I only add weight to the bar when it feels relatively easy, mostly by 'feel'

Also, I started doing a TKD diet w/ pre (25g) and post (25g) WO carbs, however I definetly feel my performance is dropping, as I lack energy/endurance during subsequent workouts..

Well, the solution seems simple.. just add more carbs..

BUT at what point is more just too much? I've read Lyle's book and he says x grams per x amount of sets, but I dont want to lose the benefits of a low carb diet (better mental clarity, higher sex drive, etc) yet I hate to give up performance..


So the options are to add more carbs around weight training or I was thinking about having 2 small refeeds per week, say Wednesday and Saturday of around 200g carbs after I have completed a training session...


Thoughts?

Try eating a solid carb + protein meal some time (.5 - 1 hours) after your post workout shake, around 50-100g of carbs. It shouldn't be enough carbs to interfere with the positive effects of your low carb diet. You could also take a dose of Sesathin with your pre-bed meal to put yourself back into "fat burning" mode.

I am thinking I am going to move to TKD type dieting. Well not Ketoing, but just low carbs and then some carbs around my workout. To me it seems the best diet for recomping.

Not directly related to the matter at hand, but: ketosis is protein sparing, but protein and carbs are even more protein sparing.
