What's RFL?

Lyle McDonald’s Rapid Fat Loss protocol. Basically, my daily consumption is 2g/lbs. LBM of protein, some fish oil, multivitamin, sodium/potassium mix, and nothing else.

Only lasts for 12 days at lower bodyfat levels (then a two day carb refeed), but it works fantastically.

No. Contrary to popular belief, length of deficit has far more impact on metabolic markers than severity does. Better to get in, get out, and get back to building.
