Hi,
I'm 5'7" and 148 lbs at 22% BF, female, and I'd just recently posted what was my cutting schedule. It was around 1600-1700 cals a day, and I was weight training and cardio-ing on alternating days, with one rest day per week. I'd just recently gotten off of a some what restricted carb diet (for the PAST THREE YEARS with no loses) and I'd added oatmeal to my diet, and cut a lot of bad fats out. Also, I'd just started weight training about 3 wks ago.

When I weighed myself after 2 wks of following the regime faithfully, I'd weighed 150!! I know that it may be water weight, my muscles were holding onto water as well as the introduction of carbs, but it drove me into a panic. I'd done some research on carb-cyling, and thought I'd give it a shot. It's only been a week, and I haven't weighed myself yet. Nor do I plan on it.

I weight train (45 mins) 4x a week in the morning, and I do cardio 2x/wk (30 mins) in the morning.
I supplement with Thermorexin, Glucorell-R, Levorex, and Gugglebolic Extreme.

Monday, Wednesday, Saturday - no carb days

B: lowcarb tortilla with egg beaters and cheese, lowfat cottage cheese = ~300 cals

S: cottage cheese and 1 tbsp peanut butter, stevia, lowcarb pita bread = ~250 cals

L: turkey burger, veggies, peppers and hummus = ~350

S: lowcarb tortilla, chicken breast, lowfat cheese = ~250 cals

D: lean meat, veggies = ~350

S: cottage cheese, peanut butter = ~200 cals

Total: 1700 cals

Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday: lower-carb days

B: oatmeal, whey pp powder, 1 egg, 1/2 carton nonfat yogurt (artif. sweetened) = ~450 cals

S: cottage cheese, 1 carton nonfat yogurt, almonds = ~250

L: light whole wheat bun (22 carbs, 8 fiber), cheese, turkey burger, mustard lettuce tomato, veggies = 400

S: lowcarb tortilla, chicken breast, cheese = ~250

D: lean meat, veggies = ~300

S: cottage cheese, peanut butter = ~200

Total: 1800 cals

Friday: high-carb day

B, L1, L2 = oatmeal, whey PP, egg, 1/2 carton yogurt = 450x3 = 1350 cals

D: lean meat, veggies = 300 cals

S: cottage cheese, nonfat yogurt, almonds = ~250 cals

Total: 1900

What do you think? In a week I'll be upping my exercise because my schedule will have changed. Every morning I'll be doing 30 mins cardio on an empty stomach, and weight training every afternoon for 45 mins, 6x a wk. And with weight training, I'm doing the max that my body can do.

I really want to shed this fat, I really want to lose 15-20 lbs of fat by summer, and I know I have at least that much on my body, especially around my tummy, lower back AND upper back, AND my thighs.

Do you think it's a good plan? I'm also 19, and a college student.

Looks like you get an A

Good plan
Good luck
Let us know of your progress

I'd maybe only weight train 3-4 days though.
Remember on a caloric deficit, muscles need some tlc.

At 19yrs you should be able to regulate your metabolism through your nutrition and cut out the fat burners. Its not healthy and they will stop working as your body gets used to them.

I feel 1600-1700cals is too little. I think thats part of your prob. People are afraid of food - especially women. Less food does not = greater bodyfat loss. Your metabolism may be in the toilet. Try to not increase your cardio yet - i think your body is eating its own lean muscle tissue. You'll be able to train heavier as you increase your nutrition amount. This will raise your metabolism. Space meals ~ 3-4hrs apart. 1 gal water for each 100lbs bodyweight.

You have quite a lot of cheese and peanut butter. Put a carb at breakfast and add another protein source (lean meat, turkey, tuna, chicken) or more eggs and maybe 1/2 grapefruit or oats. Second and 4th meal make them shakes. Add a low glycemic carb at lunch - sweet potato, brown rice. Dinner should be lean meat and a fibrous vegetable. I think all the rotation leaves your body not knowing how to regulate itself. Try something more consistent first and give it a solid 6 weeks - you will need this amount of time. Get the cals up around 2000-2100. I bet your metabolism rises. Hope this helps - good luck to you.
