I want carbs!
I’ve been focused on reducing my bf% lately and it’s finally starting to get hard. As in depleted. No gas in the tank. Over the last two weeks I have felt my energy slip away and it really shows in my lifts. This is when I want to break down and add some carbs back into my diet (besides fruits and vegetables which I do eat). To make it even more mentally challenging, I feel like the incredible shrinking man. Over the next four days, I have two soccer games and a 10k run. I’m not sure if I’m going to make it! LOL
However, I really want to get below 10% bf this summer before adding carbs back. This is when I just need to suck it up and press on. It’s been a couple months since I had my bf tested so I think it’s time to do it again for some extra motivation. I think I need to go a take a nap…

Are you just limiting carbs or dropping calories overall?

I was feeling the same way.. up until I got sick. I switched to carb cycling and I feel much better. Interesting enough, I have not cheated once. You would think that after nearly a year of extreme low carb. The "bad" foods would be calling.
You should look into it.
