Ah, I apologize but there’s one more thing I forgot to ask. During this break/reset, should I also try to keep the fats down or do I keep them and of course the protein at the same level and just add in the 150-200g of additional carbs?

Re-read my last answer to you. I said keep protein and fat the same as you were currently eating and add 150-200g of carbs on top of that.
Ok, sorry bout that.

Regarding “The Regressive Ketogenic Cycle” diet you wrote ( http://www.T-Nation.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance/mondays_with_thibs_the_five_elements_of_program_dominance ) I know it hasn’t been too long but are there any changes you would make? I ask mainly because it is 4 weeks and you seem to recently be talking about no more than 2 weeks for this type of thing.
No no no no… I’m talking about 2-4 weeks fat loss blitz being the longer you can go on a super severe approach. The RKC only has 2 super restrictive weeks as carbs are added back in gradually.

Also I thought cardio should be only low intensity due to the very low carbs/calories but above you said you can somewhat go “all out”, does this apply with this 4 weeks too?
4 weeks is the maximum limit for a blitz. Most shouldn’t do it for more than 3 and 2 is safe for all.

Finally, what type of weight training is suggested during this time?
Heavy lifting

Ok great, I’m excited to give it a shot after my next mass phase. 4 weeks of extremely tough work/dieting is completely worth it if I can actually drop 4-5%bf that quickly, seems like you could do it just twice a year to maintain a good bf% long term.
I’ll likely do 3 heavy workouts along with 4-5 cardio sessions mixing up walking(on workout days), intervals, and sled dragging.
I would think someone with not a lot of muscle mass (myself) would be able to go for the longer amount of time (3-4 weeks) because the body has less muscle it needs to “hold on to”
By the way CT, is there any reason most people don’t cut body fat this way? It doesn’t seem gimmicky (like how the V-Diet comes across to me) and if it works so fast I don’t understand why most bodybuilders or those just looking to get cut fast wouldn’t start with a similar approach.
Please guys, stop using this thread. I will not visit it anymore. Use my newest thread to ask your questions.
Does anyone know where the new link is?

I believe its something like “Thibs Q&A pre-vacation bltiz”, or something like that under the Author’s locker room category.
