So since Halloween is 2 weeks away, I'm gonna start pushing myself a little bit harder this 2 weeks by doing strength training 4x a week and HIIT 2-3x a week and some bike riding 3-4x a week so should I go low carb? What are some things I should be eating?

    No carbs are energy. Eat at a reasonable deficit and lose a pound or two. Don't stress it.

    Eat what you normally do, only in moderation. You don't need to give up anything, you just need to be in a deficit.

    Why would you go low carb just because Halloween is coming up?

    Just make room in your calorie goals for some Halloween treats, while keeping your calorie deficit.

    I think going low carb will make the increase in activity more difficult. Seems counterproductive to me.
