problem with lost fat

[keliska]

Hi ladies I have question what do you thinking? Is possible that if my calorie intake is too low my body can't burn fat??

Yes. Your body will think it is starving (and it likely is) and therefore will hold on to fat for an energy source. Fat is a MUCH longer lasting energy source than muscle. Muscle requires a lot more daily metabolic "upkeep" - it burns many calories very quickly to keep it going. SO if you are not feeding your body, your body will "eat" the muscle to get the necessary fuel to maintain survival. SO now you are holding less muscle.

The less muscle means your overall metabolism is slower, since muscle is more metabolically active. And not only is your metabolism lower because of less muscle, you still have the same amount of fat. So your metabolism is shot, you are soft, AND fat takes up more space than muscle. So you are likely now bigger, softer, and flabbier.

Yum.

If your caloric intake is too low, you will trick your body into starvation mode, where it burns calories at a slower pace in order to conserve energy. (This can also happen if you're not eating frequently enough, even if you do take in a large number of calories when you DO eat.) So to answer your question, yes

keep your calories HIGH, and carbs low, and you will lose fat and add some muscle at the same time

add more protein to replace the cals of carbs(like maybe 1.5-2 grms per bodyweight)... As for carbs, I think consuming 0.5-1 grm per bodyweight is considered low
