Lunk's PSMF run

[Lunk1]

what are the risks of running it that long at low cals? I would assume you'll lose muscle as well!

Of course with any crash type of diet there is a risk of muscle loss. I'm willing to sacrifice some muscle if the fat loss results are great enough. The thing mentioned is that a cheat meal once a week and the high protein will help avoid the large amount of muscle wasting. This is also why the time of 6-12 weeks is recommended. Then a re-feed is normally conducted to help avoid this as well.

Working out less will make you catabolic, and with out the use of ALOT of drugs to cut going below 1800 calories for a man your size will resort in free reign of LBM loss.

mistake 1 using scales! Find a dexa scan around your area and go get your scan before the diet. go in again at week 3 and week 6. Don't weigh yourself.

Refeeds wont stop lbm from being lost. Go read the pmsf forum and get a few more pointers.
