I'm trying to get rid of some very stubborn belly fat. Last cut cycle I dropped as low as 10 pounds under the recommended weight I should be at and still felt a little flabby. But I admit my fitness routine was somewhat inconsistent then (too many take out meals and missed work outs).
This time I'm taking it more serious with a lot cheat meals and not skipping workouts as much. I'm also trying a low carb cut where the only starchy carbs I eat is oatmeal in the morning. The rest pretty much comes from veggies and strawberries.
I'm just curious how much impact will this low carb have on my cut if any, and when I go back to bulking and return to more carbs will it erase whatever progress I made?
Thanks
 
You should be able to get away with eating starchy carbs for your first two meals and then either taper them off / or not eat them for the rest of the day. So you can have a decent breakfast of oats in the morning and even for breakfast 2 as well!

You have lots of cheat meals? or did you mean a lot less? heheh... if your diet is clean, as in NO junk, then on your cheat days simply carb yourself up at your maintenance calorie amount and allow starchy carbs at every meal except the last one in the evening, (I would consider that a cheat day). So you'll not have over eaten and allowed yourself a great day nutritionally!

From my own experience of cutting diets using this template/style I always find I have amazing energy in the morning and it drops toward the end of the day, but by them It's nearly bed time anyway lol! Other than that I have no problems and lose very good amounts of fat each week.

I also have never gone under 45% carbs and always had good results. I could actually go lower but what I do works for me so I don't see any point in changing it!

Also when cutting I must do cardio 4+ times per week and upon waking, if i do less or leave it until the afternoon I don't lose hardly as much weight and feel lousy later on, lol I get real grumpy for some reason. Whereas doing cardio in the morning supercharges me for the rest of the day!
 
I'd look at carb cycling more than just 'low carb'. Same basic benefits, with more sanity. I too like early morning, fasted, steady state cardio on a cut, and I lift heavy for low reps.

Also, quit skipping workouts. I know, easier said than done, but if you quit making excuses and just workout, you'll see the results.
