I have experienced this three times in my life so far. When I was ~18 years old, I had a short low carb phase and slimmed down a lot in a few weeks. When I was in my mid-20s, I tried cutting out starch completely. But I ate a lot of fruits and honey. At that time, I abandoned the project because the sight in the mirror was almost unpleasant and I found myself too thin.
Two weeks ago I tried it again (I'm 34 now). Yesterday I looked in the mirror and had the same thought again: "Man, I'm getting almost too thin."
I have never been overweight in my life. I'm 1,85m (~6ft) and the highest weight I've ever had was around 180 lbs. But when I remove starches from my diet completely, the slimming down effect becomes visible within a week or so. When I do this, I don't reduce calories. I just replace starches (white rice, potatoes) with fruit/honey/juice. And I didn't eat huuuuge amounts of starch before. One meal a day with rice or potatoes.
Does anyone have an explanation as to what could be the reason for this?
