Doing protein-only low-calorie diet right now for weight loss. It's fine overall, but is there a quick and effective way to fix constipation? Should i just eat a tablespoon of salt to flush my guts?
>>
>>77181153
niggas will do anything but lift and run 3-4 times a week no wonder, you are morbidly obese.
>>
>>77181160
I'm not morbidly obese, more like 23%~ bodyfat. Want to burn fat fast so that i can return to training earlier.
>>
>>77181160
if OP wants to rapidly lose some starter weight for a month or 2 this is fine but yeah he needs to just eat normally just eat less and hit the fucking gym.
OP, eat a fuckin apple and go for a run.
>>
>>77181153
are you eating any fiber at all? The lyle mcdonald version (RFL) recommends you to eat as many high fiber veggies as you want iirc.
>>
>>77181285
Yes, i eat a lot of fiber.
>>
>>77181153
Protein sparing means fuck all what do you think your body stores fat for ?
>>
>>77181285
>>77181308
Yes i bet eating dead plant matters that considerably slows your digestion and acts as an antinutrient is thr solution to constipation.
Listen to that guy anon matter of fact buy some psyllium husk, 50g a day on top of your 100g daily recommendations.

>>77181329
>Protein sparing means fuck all
It means you minimize muscle loss while maximizing fat loss.

>>77181335
It seems anti-fiber anons were correct that it's a meme since it doesn't work for me.

Do you realize this is a self solving issue regardless of whether you go the classic low fat high carbohydrate way or the opposite aka high fat low catbohydrate (not necessarily keto)
Your body will almost never resort to using myofibril tissue as an energy source unless you're actually starving, or if you're not eating enough protein for recovery then you might have a very minor loss of tissue
What people lose on a cut usually is "lean mass" aka a multitude of things that include water

Common sense and picrel.

Spook.
>picrel.
Can you cite direct pages from it to that we can see what studies it's based on? That body utilizes no myofibril tissue during cutting is quite an extraordinary assertion, because bodybuilders and strength athletes are very cautious of not losing muscle mass during a cut.
>>
>>77181376
>Can you cite direct pages from it
The entire book. It's on the cover literally, the entire book is the citation. Go read it sometimes.
>>
Also i love the voluntary glancing over the most important part of the statement explaining what the "muscle loss" actually is
What a sneaky jew you are

So you haven't actually read it. Fine. Now stop trying to coerce anons into doing retarded diets that will lead to significant loss of contractile tissue and miniscule fat loss.

How strictly are you doing protein "only"?
I make myself chia seed 'pudding' every day and it massively helps with keeping me regular. I do 30g chia seeds, ~115g milk, 45g blueberries (for flavor) soaked for about 24 hours, then heat it up in the microwave. I didn't enjoy it cold but some people prefer it that way.

>How strictly are you doing protein "only"?
Less than 15g of carbs and 15g of carbs a day, and those come from animal-derived products.
>and it massively helps with keeping me regular.
I use bromocriptine so hunger is not an issue.

A friendly reminder that in the entire history of this board, and you can go look up this in the archives if you don't believe me - Nobody who has ever spouted this anti-fiber nonsense has ever posted their body with a timestamp.

>>77181153
metamucil, water

>>77181661
Post yours then

>>77181160
Fasting is actually much better for keeping lean muscle mass whilst losing fat than running is

Im not a skitzo but eating less veg has definately sped up my digestion and eased the pain on my bunghole.
>>
>>77182032
I don't do meme diets, so I've got nothing to prove. If you're promoting anti-fiber and anti-vegetable nonsense, then you can feel free to show us what kind of body that meme diet builds. You won't though, as always.

I'm on day ~60 of PSMF, about 10 to go. Regarding constipation, it was the worst for me at the start. I began adding a bunch of veg such as arugula, celery, bell peppers, pickles and kimchi, this along with good salt intake (especially potassium) helped a ton.
>>
>>77183273
Normal cutting is a gimmick compared to PSMF. You're just a normie.
>>
>>77183281
>I'm on day ~60 of PSMF
How it's going for you? I'm on day 10.
>>
>>77183329
Good, no real complaints. First 6 weeks were really easy, last 2 have been a bit harder as I've gotten leaner, I'm probably at or just below 12% at this point. Down about 22 lbs so far. It's really changed my relationship with food, I've been cooking most of my meals and have learned how easy and cheap it can be. Best cut I've ever run.
