that's not what this article is about though, it's about the starved-fed refeed cycle

2016-08-05 12:30:10 UTC  

which I somewhat agree with

2016-08-05 12:30:26 UTC  

You said I'm starving.

2016-08-05 12:30:38 UTC  

Im saying I'm avoiding that mechanism.

2016-08-05 12:31:12 UTC  

>avoiding that mechanism
you can only avoid it so long because it hits your hormones and other things

2016-08-05 12:31:25 UTC  

I tried to cut down to <10% body fat and ended up with insane depression and no boner

2016-08-05 12:31:29 UTC  

took months to recover

2016-08-05 12:31:45 UTC  

mostly because I tried to go fast

2016-08-05 12:31:57 UTC  

Those hormones deplete only when your glucose depletes and your body goes into ketosis.

2016-08-05 12:32:00 UTC  

my testosterone was woman levels when I checked it

2016-08-05 12:32:10 UTC  

I wasn't in ketotosis

2016-08-05 12:32:27 UTC  

We're different mang

2016-08-05 12:32:46 UTC  

Im checking my glucose level and I'm fine

2016-08-05 12:33:04 UTC  

what body fat level will you be at at 110lb?

2016-08-05 12:33:11 UTC  

do you measure your fat?

2016-08-05 12:33:31 UTC  

chinks sell some decent calipers

2016-08-05 12:33:31 UTC  

Nah.

2016-08-05 12:33:48 UTC  

At 110 I'm gonna lose some muscle probably.

2016-08-05 12:34:09 UTC  

you're losing muscle regardless

2016-08-05 12:34:22 UTC  

at 600 calories a day muscle and fat go out the window

2016-08-05 12:34:41 UTC  

doesn't sound like you mind, just saying

2016-08-05 12:35:39 UTC  

if you were lifting you'd notice how much heavier everything feels and your loss of stamina over time

2016-08-05 12:35:51 UTC  

I've gained visual muscle size since the start of my diet tho. Biceps got bigger. Don't know if that's from the push-ups and other bodyweight exercises I do.

2016-08-05 12:35:51 UTC  

direct correlation to muscle consumption in the body

2016-08-05 12:36:02 UTC  

nah it'll be from losing fat

2016-08-05 12:36:11 UTC  

you get the visual illusion of looking bigger

2016-08-05 12:36:17 UTC  

from the fat around the muscles going away

2016-08-05 12:36:23 UTC  

Nah I gained like two inches in bicep girth

2016-08-05 12:36:32 UTC  

I mean one inch

2016-08-05 12:36:48 UTC  

I'm gonna find my measuring tape.

2016-08-05 12:37:10 UTC  

Fug holy shit it's nearly 3 in the morning.

2016-08-05 12:37:14 UTC  

one inch is negligible, how long have you been doing push-ups and bodyweight stuff?

2016-08-05 12:37:21 UTC  

you'd need to measure it all cold

2016-08-05 12:37:28 UTC  

and I bet you've measured it post-workout

2016-08-05 12:37:33 UTC  

Nah

2016-08-05 12:37:38 UTC  

I measure in the morn

2016-08-05 12:37:42 UTC  

After rest

2016-08-05 12:37:53 UTC  

Dude I used to lift.

2016-08-05 12:37:58 UTC  

It's all good

2016-08-05 12:38:02 UTC  

Stop judging me.

2016-08-05 12:38:05 UTC  

>used to
I'm one of those guys too kek
