  • The only sensible diet I've seen eating below BMR is Lyle's version of Protein Sparring Modified fast. At relatively high protein, low fat, low carb, you eat below 1,000 calories per day. But that's supposed to be done short time, as in 2 weeks. Purpose is to get immediate weight and fat loss. As for OP, I believe you can…
  • keto diets require 30g daily, but since anything less than 100g per day is keto, I give myself elbow room until 50g or sometimes up to 70 g. But most of the time, I try to be below 30 g. Thing is, the lower your carbs, the faster you get to keto.
  • yup. Filipino. 1 scoop is about 70 pesos, about $1.7 Well, I tried ON whey to see what's the fuss. I found a vid telling to mix it with skim milk. it has some carbs but if you plan it well, you won't exceed your limit.
  • If money is not an issue for you - I heard protein shakes are pretty cheap there in the US, then go ahead. I don't know what you'll mix with the shake, that's where carbs could creep in. Anyway, there are two books about ketogenic diets you might want to check out. Carb Nite Solution by John Kiefer and Ketogenic Diet by…
  • well, I hope it's a ketogenic diet i.e. less than 30 g of carbs per day, and not just less carbs. Furthermore, I hope you find yourself a very intense workout. Protein shakes, especially ON whey tastes so good. They're more of post-workout meal. I treat them as reward for working out hard. And since they're in powder form,…
  • more likely, you don't need it yet. it helps get you more protein without much carbs. For every 30 g or 1 scoop, 24 g of it is protein, he rest are carbs and sugar. If you could get yourself to eat chicken and other meat, you don't really need it yet. You need some serious workouts before you could use it well. Otherwise,…
  • I'm on a 20-hour fast everyday, 4 hours of eating window. It's just a matter of being able to adapt. At first, you'll feel *kitten*. Then, you'll eventually you'll feel ok. If you're talking about dry fast, which means water isn't even allowed, then disregard my earlier comment. I can't handle that.
  • well, I lost 12 pounds this month on the first 2 weeks [50% of which is lean body mass, damnit] then plateaued just by following the strict guidelines of the Anti-Estrogenic Diet. Prior to this month, I lost 34 pounds already. Up until last week, I wasn't really counting calories but I could imagine that I must have…

  • I'm new to MFP. I signup up because I have a task where I need to track my calories, although it's not really my preferred way of doing things. Anyway, I know this is an old thread but I just want to put this on record. I started my weight loss journey earlier this year with tacfit warrior @ 240 lbs. My first 3 months of…
