Don't kow if you can see it, but this is a deadlift. 405, while on a low cal, no carb diet... lol, actual lift about 20 seconds in. :P Had to get my mind right, took a bit. https://www.facebook.com/aaron.frank3?ref=tn_tnmn#!/photo.php?v=2175222949467&set=t.1806049484&type=3&theater

A carb up weekend every week or two is part of this diet.

I know people that have been doing it for years...

garentee he lost quite a bit of LBM as well though, still proving that cals in/cals out may be the answer to weight loss, but for efficient fat loss while preserving muscle mass... Not so much.

Guess who was skipped! :D And the 6th pic, ya look beautiful. :)

I'm not quite sure what that means, but i know it's a compliment, thank you! lol

This isn't a fair question... They're all straight delicious!

Yeah... And for you, like all of them, you're ridiculously gorgeous. O.o

The mask made me smile, lol. :)

Much appreciated miss. ;)

Ketosis only takes a day or two to get back into.

Miss, this is a long-*kitten* thread... No way I would have taken the time to read that. lol, but damn. Ya look great. And your before and afters... REMARKABLE. :)

Cuz you're lil, lol. I'd give ya 130ish. :P

At least no one is aiming high. lol, I'm 250 in my profile pic. :P

I wish! lol

135?

180-190?

130, 135ish? Depends on your height.

Quite simply, starvation mode is a myth. Your metabolism won't slow by any more than 5% or so even at an extreme deficit. This is coming from someone that ate between 500 and 1000 for a few months and lost 100 pounds.

Still disproves losing fat is simply cals in/ cals out. That was my point.

Experience and research... I'm not saying my statement is absolute, but I believe macro proportions can play a large part. Especially with carbs, sugars, and insulin levels. Though an extreme, someone that took in 1500 cals of carbs and sugar a day for a month would most likely lose a lot more lbm than someone eating high…

Sounds like protein could be suffering...
