losing too much weight

[WarriorPL]

I've been on a low carb diet for about a month now. (under 40 carbs).... anyways in that month i've lost almost 10 pounds, i see no change in size, and i see a small difference in body fat. What's the deal? Was it all water weight?

Most of the weight was lost the first week, now it's stable.

dmx... i weight 165... my BMR is 1650 calories, which is what i am getting daily....

Most of the weight was lost the first week, not it's stable.

Than yes, most was water, now your burning either fat or muscle.

 

[WarriorPL]

Why the hell would i be burning muscle? SHouldn't the fat go first?

hey wiz..Your BMR isn't 1650..hate to break the bad news to you. it's Bodyweight times 12..not 10. And bodyweight times 12 is only for people who do absolutely NOTHING but lay in bed.

Start boosting cals back up to boyweight times 12 for 2 weeks..See how it goes. If still nothing, then go x 13 for a week.

Also...Switch around your carbs to having them post workout only. or maybe consider a TKD and have them preworkout.

By the way, don't have meals that consist of ONLY protein. Either make em' protein and fat, or protein and carbs.

make the breakfast protein and carbs. lunchrotein and fat. pre and post workout: protein and carbs. Then the last meal, protein and fat. I don't think you should be ahving THAT much protein before bed tho. Maybe 20 grams of casein (slow digesting) and a t spoon of flax.
