My weight loss is too sudden? Not to worry?
I’ve received several pm’s from concerned bodyspacer’s who have told me my several pound weight loss over the last 4 days means that i am losing lean tissue (muscle) and that i need to bump my calories up.
While i sincerely appreciate the advice and concern, the reason i am losing so much weight is that I’m doing the depletion work from Lyle McDonald’s "The Ultimate Diet 2.0" and am losing significant amounts of glycogen, water and hopefully body fat. currently I’m eating at around 50% of maintenance calories which would normally be extremely catabolic, however I’ve taken certain dietary precautions and will reintroduce carbohydrate and appropriate tension loads during the weekend per protocol, that will (hopefully) rebuild any lost lean tissue.
So it’s all part of the master plan and we’ll see how it goes based upon my progress pics. thanks for your support!
