| 1,500 calorie is my target goal BUT realistically, I might be consuming about 1,800 to 2,000 though. The whole purpose of depletion is to get into ketosis as fast as possible and I would like to maximize the fat lost. According to author of diet, 50% of maintaince is the high end and 10-20% defecit is low end.
Yup, but I agree wit you, I will be Starving!!! The reason why that 2,000 calorie intake will not go into fat is that the carbs will be used as glycogen restore / refill for Saturday's hard workout of heavy wts. I think the intention of doing that mass consumption is so that the body will not adapt to being underfeed and staying in underfeeding cycle too long. It's like bodybuilders like to confuse the muslce, this diet confuses the body from sticking and adapting to starving mode. |
