When does muscle mass loss start?

(Wendy) #41

TJ, I am also “fat adapted” and indulged in a piece of cheesecake for my nieces wedding yesterday (sans- the crust). I enjoyed it but did do keto through the meal ( I ate the meat and veggies only with added butter and had fasted since breakfast.) I had a bit of an urgent need for the toilet but nothing dramatic. :blush: I may or may not see a stall for a week, we will see. An occasional indulgence for social reasons or whatever has not stopped my progress. YMMV. (I’ve had three “cheat” meals since beginning this WOE this past Jan. )

One week anniversary of my fast…:slight_smile:
Weight: 64.6 kg
waist: 74 cm
Hips: 89 cm
Body fat%: 10.4%
The math of the caloric deficit, weight loss, its location (gynoid) and percentage, lean mass… All of it lines up as predicted !
Amazing how science works…:stuck_out_tongue:

However, I still want to hear your thoughts about keeping some gynoid fat or going all the way to the 4-5% body fat ?
They say that gynoid fat distribution actually “protects” from metabolic syndrome !

Weight: 63.1 kg

Troll?

It might… it may well not. I had a monster donut recently and it didn’t have that kind of impact that some others mention. N=1.

I’d have the cake and see what happens… bad and at least you know (it won’t be THAT bad) and if low/no impact, that’s a great result for integrating with the rest of humanity that hasn’t yet seen the light.

I should have cake too… you know, for science

(Rob) #48

For Science… Huzzah!!

No cake------ BACON-BACON-BACON!!!

(Rob) #50

I would never naysay bacon… I have 30lbs in the fridge and eat it almost every day…

… BUT it is a staple food now.

Do we not deserve a treat now and again? :thinking::roll_eyes::pray:

(sugar is not ACTUALLY crystal meth :dizzy_face: is it?)

(TJ Borden) #51

No, because I can’t make sugar in my bathtub.

When the Ketocracy takes over, they will remake Breaking Bad, where mild mannered chemistry teacher, Walter White, becomes a kingpin in the illegal production of…

White Sucrose!! :scream::scream:

He will be chased by the newly combined FDA/DEA while fighting rival Mexican Sugar Cane Cartels… all permanently off their heads on churros, snorting confectioners powder…

I smell an Emmy!

:rofl::rofl:

Instead of Heisenberg, his alias will be Kellog.

#54

Sugar is worse than meth…you lose your teeth AND get metabolic syndrome !
:cold_sweat:

(Holly) #56

Finally, breached that 60 kg floor…i think i’ll stop right there
My birthday came and went…and as robert predicted, it was awful…like medically !

It took me 45 minutes…45…to binge 150g of peanuts ! And i was full like 7 minutes into it ! Glad to find out my hyperphagia is cured
The ice cream bread milk yogurt cake sandwiches etc the following couple of days were an ordeal…it was like i was punishing myself !

The amazing thing is that it was painful but with only 5000 positive caloric balance ! Thats just a three day fast just sitting around ! No coffee or exercise !

I’ll be more reasonable on New Year’s, the next time i’ll go over 15 net carbs…:blush:

Thanx for listening guys
