critique good or bad, low carb diet plan

[xandermerlin]

As always, I hope my fellow brothers on the forum can help me tweak my low carb diet I’ve written out. I’m currently 6’0, 195-200lbs n body fat is unknown, but I’m sure it’s in the high 20%, as I’ve really let myself go for the past 1yr ½ due to personal reasons that were affecting me both physically and mentally ,but I’m glad that’s all in the past and I can move on to a better me. I’ll be lifting 6 days on and 1 day off. Any helpful critiques, be it good or bad are what I’m looking for and greatly appreciated. Supplements I’ll be using will be creatine, l-glutamine, multivitamins, bcaa’s, pre- intra-workout supps…

3 scoops whey isolate
2 cups basmati rice (large muscles 60-90g carbs, small muscles 30-60g carbs)

Looks ok to me except for this:

2 cups basmati rice (large muscles 60-90g carbs, small muscles 30-60g carbs)

That daily level of carb intake is more than enough to prevent or stall fat loss. First, get yourself into fat burning mode by keeping total daily carbs at or below 50 gm/day. Skip the rice for now and get 2 to 3 cups (CUPS, not bowls!) of salad vegetables (lettuce, mushrooms, cucumber, olives, broc/cali, etc.) every day and aim for 70 % of your calories as fat. Too much protein early on can also prevent or stall weight loss.

Drink water until your back teeth float.

Keep your mineral intake up: sodium (yes - SALT), potassium, and magnesium. Salt all your food heavily. Drink bouillion. Get a potassium supplement or use NuSalt along with sodium-based salt on your food. Take 300 mg/day magnesium citrate or try Slo-Mag if you get muscle cramps.

AFTER you start losing weight - over the course of about 2 to 4 weeks, during which time your workouts will SUCK - you can then gradually bring back starches like rice, potato, etc.
