For comparison, I recently went from 132kg (290lbs) to 111kg (245lbs) in the last 5 months without counting calories, on a very-low-protein, ultra-high-fat diet.
Re. the abs, I've never had them but my impression is they're hidden by basically the last 5lbs of fat you'll lose. So nothing and then they're suddenly there makes sense. Congrats!
- vkazanov 4y agoCongrats! That's huge! I know it's a very liberating feeling, both physically and psychologically. My collegue went from 115kg to 85kg some time ago. I know it's a different kind of game. Took a year for him. He was younger, in his late 20s, so running was still an option for him. I am In my late 30s, and traumas accumulated so i had to accept that calorie counting was the only remaining option. Also, I'd suggest still working from a high-protein approach. You get to keep you muscle, especially if you do some reasonable amount of training.
- exfatloss 4y agoMy entire hypothesis this time around is that protein is making/keeping me fat, and I went super low protein on purpose :) Of course it could also be something else. Everybody freaks out about the low protein though haha.
- vkazanov 4y agoAnd yes, abs are not the most important thing. Depends on genetics, max weight, fat distribution. Doesn't really matter In practice. Back when i doing boxing in early 20s I was as low as 69kg, and still didn't see the full 6-pack. Go figure....
