I’m not trolling, and I understand metabolism.
I have been into fitness and nutrition for 30 years.
I eat mostly vegetables, fish/chicken, and fruits.
I take prebiotics & probiotics.
I lift, sprint, walk, do yoga, meditate/breathing exercises, and sleep minimum 8 hours.
You still need a caloric deficit to lose weight.
I understand ramping calories and re-feeds.
Ok, we’re talking past each other, then.
My best success has been with either the protein-sparing modified fast (whey protein powder every 3 hours, plus multivitamin and green veggies 1x/day, and a weekly 1-meal refeed), *or* zigzag diet (800-1200 calories one day, 2400-3000 calories the next, lifting weights on high-cal days), and never going above 200 g of carbs a day.
That second one fools your hormones so that your metabolism doesn’t drop off a cliff on the low-carb days.
The protein sparing died always gave me chapped, cracked, skin, due to lack of fats & fatty acids.
Dann you autocorrect, in advance.
