IS starvation mode the same as Ketosis...burning lean muscle or fat?
Hi guys
Well as during my browse on weight loss resources I fell upon a number of articles that seem to 'poo-poo' VLCD..basically anything below 100cal due to the messing with our metabolism and the loss of lean muscle and the rate at which fat will go back....
I must admit when i embarked upon VLCD I was SO desperate to lose weight Id have done anything and i guess i did without researching the science bit....
Dont get me wrong finding this plan has been a life changing experience but now as i approach target (after many restarts and a couple of shock gains i may add) I need to be clear about what IS going on inside my body and WHAT I can expect when i eat again...preferably using the LL management.....
I would like to know if the starvation mode the articles speak of is the same state as Ketosis...they dont mention Ketosis at all.......
I hope these links work....
