Fatty tissue is constantly being regulated by a number of factors but mostly metabolism. Even when glycolysis is active, as in burning carbs for fuel, the body is burning a small amount of fat.
The best way many of us have found to get really lean and ripped is to avoid fat, even saturated fat, as much as possible. Dropping daily fat intake to below 5% will be the way to go. Over the course of a few weeks the rest of your excess fat will be gradually released and consumed, and not oxidized like during the massive release of FFA's that follow ketosis.
Hi Sladerunner,
I'm trying to lose weight by eating low fat (less than 10g per day).
Should I stay under a certain calorie limit?
Some info about me: 25y/o female, 95kg, 176cm tall. Pulse ~65, sometimes lower.
Also does anyone have recommendations for supplements during the low fat diet? I will try to stick to it for 6 weeks. I don't want to take too many supplements if possible. I started taking lysine HCL a few days ago because of stomach pains/digestion problems and it seems to have helped, although that might be because I started eating low fat at the same time.
Thanks!
