I’m doing a low carb diet right now and it’s working well but I am noticing that my strength is starting to slide down.
Currently I have 1 cheat day every 2 weeks in which I eat anything I want.
My question is should I maybe eat healthy carbs every 4th day in the morning or something in order to take advantage that I might not atrophy as much and that I can probably have better workouts with the extra carbs.
If I did have a small load day every 4th day, would it affect my fat loss negatively?
If I did the every 4th day carbs, could I possibly still have the cheat day every 2 weeks?
Some info.
