you will feel weaker while losing. whether you actually are is a different question and only numbers answer it

Highlights from this day
- alt_ast_ali — ok so resistance training is not optional if you care what you look like at the end of this. my opinion, held strongly 15:55
- alt_ast_ali — dexa twice a year if you can afford it. the cheap scale will tell you a new story every day and none of them are true 16:09
- VialBot — Channel stats, last 30 days: 77 messages from 17 members. 17:31
- alt_ast_ali — slightly off topic but two proper resistance sessions a week is what the room settled on. three if you can manage it, ask me again in a month 17:45
- evidence_or_not — liquid protein was the thing that fixed this for me. a shake is food, it is not a shortcut 18:24
protein per meal matters more than per day once you are eating tiny amounts. i aim for 30 grams a sitting, anyway

i lost 30 and about a fifth of it was lean by dexa, and that was with lifting the whole way through
[edited]a shake is food
dexa twice a year if you can afford it. the cheap scale will tell you a new story every day and none of them are true

add salt
greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, whey in milk. that is most of my protein and none of it needs chewing
alcohol hits me twice as hard now, has anyone else had that
how much lean mass did people lose and how did they even know
a tin of tuna, a pot of yoghurt and a shake is 60 grams and about four minutes of work
[edited]i stopped counting calories and started counting protein, and one number is much easier than two
i lift three times a week and my lifts dropped about ten percent while losing, then came back up
the risk with fast loss is lean mass, and the two things that touch it are protein and resistance work

how many grams of protein are people actually hitting at 80kg

bioimpedance is a mood ring
is cold food easier for anyone else or is that just me

*PeptideMeter not the other one
quick one i cook normally and freeze it in small pots. the food is unchanged, the portion is the only difference
family meals i put a small amount on the plate and nobody comments anymore. that took about a year
follow up 160 grams a day sounds enormous until you notice a chicken breast is 30 and a shake is 25
