dropping body Fat - macros?

lelstar

i was looking on jillian michaels site and put in my statistics. the site put my ratios for macros at
20% carbs
50% protein
30 fat

i tried today and ive got 400 calories under my daily intake and im already over carbs.....tough eh... didnt have potatoes or carb heavy veg eg parsnips etc

do these ratios look correct for dropping body fat? im lifting heavy weights 3-4 times a week so are the carbs at 20% do able?

what are your views?

I got that result too, have you had any success or have you altered it?

You're not going to win an argument with her bud. I won't even argue with her (partially because we're usually in agreement...and we both have similar outlooks on dieting as you do)...she's one of the more intelligent people I've come into contact with in 'all my years'.

This is one of those times where intelligence, experience, and reason say 'agree to disagree'...and walk the **** away.

55% fat sounds like a recipe for disaster, I would think that if your going to follow a specific macro agenda you would want one thats sustainable. That much fat daily would be detrimental to your health in the long term.

That much fat is satiating and it's complete mythology that high fat, moderate protein, low carb diets are detrimental to cholesterol and blood pressure profiles. On the contrary, they result in the best cholesterol and blood pressure profiles. Fat is harmless in the absence of carbohydrates. Science is clear in that regard.

My gall bladder was removed 15 years ago and I have no trouble at all.


Unless you have gallbladder issues.

Since my gallbladder was removed, if I ate that much fat, I'd live on the toilet.
