Low calorie diet.

If you're thinking about going starvation mode. Don't, and if you do. A rebound is really important. Also low calorie diets make your test levels go to shit. (eat plenty of fats)

My lowest was 1600 and I lost 2 pounds a week on average.

You dont want to go extremely low. Your body will adapt and even store more fat. It goes into starvation mode to prepare itself because it doesnt know when your next meal will come. Your lifts will also majorly suffer without sufficient energy.

That's why some guys have refeed days where they eat very low calorie most of the week but then one day they'll eat a shit ton to calories to kick start their metabolism back to fat burning mode.

Keto diet. In 2.5 months managed to go down 5-6kg, and got to about 12-13% bodyfat. The problem is i didn't take enough protein and also decresed my gym frequency so lost more muscle than i should have lost.( four-pack was coming up nicely,though,lol)

I m currently on keto again as its easier while this quarantine is going on. I eat one big meal and one small snack a day and total is no more than 1400-1500 cal, and i fast 18-20h. Its quite easy on keto, i don't get cravings or anything.

This time i have more than 5-6kg to lose(about 7,8) but i m taking more protein too, still losing muscle though as no lifting at all, but i feel like its less compared to last time.

Three things are super easy with keto : to stay in calorie deficit, to do intermittent fasting with 20h+ fasting window and not to get sugar cravings due to feeling full from all the fats.

Although I'd not recommend it for explosive sports and intensive training, carbs are needed for those. Plus you can't use creatine during keto cuz its effect is kind of negated due to all the ketosis happening and your body using ketons from your liver for energy.

Strange question... why do you ask? Are you thinking about a very restrictive diet?

Don’t do low calories. Do low carbs + intermittent fasting.
