Shrinkingme : This time on low carb that's what I'm doing too - protein in check and capped at around 65-70g per day, and calories limited to around 1500. Carbs under 30 total (not net). When I do all that I've been losing at a pretty consistent rate overall during the 4 1/2 months. But the fat fast knocked off 5 pounds very quickly... |

These stay-stay-stay-drop patterns are typical for me though. |
Bravo Sarah!

I'm just updating this thread with my current thoughts on Fat Fasts.
Which is : shirt term benefit, long term HARM I believe the months I spent eating high fat, low protein low carb forced my body to use skeletal muscle for its protein needs, eroding my already meager muscles. The Fat Fasts did this to an even greater extent. So while each time I'd lose a couple of pounds, I think at least as much of that loss was lean body mass (the stuff that powers your metabolism & that we want more of!) as was actual fat loss. I've been back on low carb for about 2 months now, carbs around 20-25g, but protein much much higher than in the past, and I think it's really helping. My body is tighter and smaller, I can do a lot of daily living activities more easily, and energy is great. I'm basically eating a "normal" serving of protein 3 meals a day, nothing insane, but since I now think lower protein harmed me (and it's quite trendy with the "keto" movement) I wanted to update. |
