No, you need AT LEAST 200g protein and AT LEAST 100g fat daily. These may come from whatever foods you like. Have you registered yet for a fitday account? Have you worked through "homework 1"? And I'd like you to answer my question to you about which exercises you don't understand.

Okay this is a perfectly valid starting point. Let's assume you'd be 10% bodyfat at 200 lbs. This puts you at about 180 lbs lean mass. Round it up to 200, and use that to set your protein and fat targets. Protein should thus be no lower than 200g, and fat should be no lower than 100g. This is...

When I did the Atkins diet, I was under 40g of carb daily for about eight months. The lower my carbs, the better I feel. I only ran into trouble when I increased the carbs. And on Atkins, there are no refeeds. I'm not sure this ties in with your point or not. I apologize in advance for my...

Well, I lost the weight on the Atkins diet originally, which started at 20g of carb (total, including fibre) and crept up the carb ladder 5g at a time until fat-loss stalled (read: until I was eating too many calories because the carbs were making me hungry). Now that I understand it's not just...

72, please have a look at jagbender's and catalyst's journals. Both have lost a great deal of weight (catalyst has lost over a hundred pounds and I can't remember how much jagbender dropped but it was a lot) so you'll have some excellent success stories to learn from. I lost my excess weight on...

You're yummy.

In the spring of 2007, Prince posted this: After this ...thoughtful post, the thread remained dormant. But Lumberjack pulled it from obscurity. Yea, like a veritable phoenix rising from the ashes of a four-year-dead thread, we get this: Nice work. :thumb:

Odd. And not my experience at all.

How did you like it? How were you dieting at the time, and how much weight did you lose over those 8 days?

PSMF - train every third day. Every second day would be wayyy too much.

High fat carb cycling... <drool>

Have you run DNP before?

Dunno. I've never done low carb where I haven't gone into ketosis. ???

Excellent idea - no protein for most of this diet means you'll lose weight FAST - a pound of fat stores about 3500 calories but a pound of muscle only holds about 500-600. For the same deficit, you can lose weight six times as fast on low protein! :thumb: Sassy, why don't you think low carb is...

I dunno. What about 'em?

DEXA projects a 3-D body onto a 2-D image, and then works out the math. The margin of error is thus compounded by this flawed, but useful model. A better estimate would come from the use of a C-T or MRI image; the cost however would be prohibitive with very little return in terms of accuracy...

Probably not; your muscles can get stronger without getting bigger. If you aren't dropping weight, you will need to eat less or you will remain at your current weight.

Try something sweetened with glucose sometime. You may be surprised at how much more comfortable you'll be.

Are you losing weight on this? You should be dropping at least half a pound to a pound a week on this. This isn't a bad starting point for protein; a better way to look at it might be to target protein at no lower than a gram per pound lean mass - and as high as 2g per pound lean mass while...

irish, look up hereditary fructose intolerance.
