Would definitely NOT reduce carbs. What is it with people and these low carb diets?? You don't lose weight because of carb depeletion, you lose weight because of a calorie deficit. If you replace 100 grams of carbs with 100 grams of protein, you still have the same number of calories. POINTLESS. The ACSM recommendation for protein intake among weight traininf athletes is under 20% of your total calories. Have you checked your BMR to make sure you are getting enough calories in the day? Is your cardio done at under 70% of your MHR? Is it done on an empty stomach? -EK
