You could go 'hard', but you won't be able to keep that type of intensity up as long as a more carb focused diet would be able to sustain. I have used traditional CKD diet's in the past to cut a few pounds off, and they work awesome. I know this is a weightloss thread but if your doing any serious weightlifting or athletics, I would add carbs in around the workout like a targeted keto diet.
Come to think of it, when I was at my strongest in college, my diet was pretty much steak and eggs, ground beef w/cheese (pretty standard keto) and gatorade during lifting and practice.
Again, just my $.02. You guys have made some tremendous progress in this thread.
