20 year old male,5ft10……92kgs,High body fat percentage….Taking a 2-3 week break from the gym…So this is going to be my diet for the while
My aim is to lose around 1.25-1.5kgs per week or more would be nice Living a sedentary lifestyle for the next 2-3 weeks around 5k steps on average everyday…
Breakfast-350 grams of cooked chicken breast Dinner-2 bananas and 1 whole pomegranate To make up for the rest of the calories Either a protein bar or protein peanut butter
What effect is this going to have on my metabolism once after 3 weeks i hit the gym and bring my calories upto 1500-1700 calories
1000 cal per day sounds very restrictive. Some people can’t pull that off, it sounds like you’ve done it before, so good for you if you have the discipline to do it. I’m still concerned that it may lead to binge eating or an unhealthy relationship with food in the longer term.
I’ve read that extremely restrictive diets cause the body to switch to some kind of starvation mode, which may make further weight loss more difficult. I think a less restrictive diet would be better in the long term. Maybe you can do this crash diet for a while, but I wouldn’t use it as a long term solution.
