I've started the 5X5 workout today. I plan on lifting Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I'm also a runner and will try and run Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday or Sunday. I'm also starting the slow carb diet to try and lose some fat (not weight). Is this a good plan?

    How low carb?

    Just be in deficit but remember because you are working out so much and doing a bunch of cardio - you may want to eat at maintenance.

    I think that is too much cardio to do slow carb dieting

    Just looked at slow carb diet. It is unneccesary to eat that way although it will work.

    Thanks for the advice. It's only day one, but I'm finding it hard to even eat my maintenance on this diet. Most of the foods allowed are low calories.

    I'll give it a try for 3-4 weeks to see if I notice a difference. I really don't want to lose much weight, so I did take some basic measurements to see results (biceps, thighs, belly).
