Low carb + High fat + intermit fasting = weight melts off.
basically keto diet

Low fat vs low carb for weight loss

What type of plateau have you seen doing that? Not even trying to argue but I'm legit curious about your experience because that's my usual cut routine (with the addition of the heavy lifting).
What I noticed was that the first 10 lbs melt off in about 10 days and then the weight loss kinda slows down to about 4 lbs a week.
Then I'll hit a wall where my body tries it's hardest to hold the weight for about 5 days before it starts going down again. I'm guessing that that's my body's way of trying to hold onto water.
I measure my body fat with fat calipers too because the scale isn't everything to me.

I lost over 50 pounds with this combo. Although I did eat some carbs like sweet potato and small amounts of brown rice

Organic chemistry
Adding hydrochloric acid just pushes the cyclic form of glucose into it's chain form. The glucose will still be there though to go through glycolis
Also seems like a good way to give yourself heartburn

You learned wrong
Heartburn is a cause of low stomach acid. Low acid produces gas production and irritates your esophagus
High Stomach Acid is needed to break down Protein, B Vitamins, and Fat Soluble Vitamins
Carbs really get a bad rap primarily because people say it causes either fat gain or raises insulin levels.
(1) Your brain needs carbs because it needs glucose.
Carbs and Insulin
(2) What is Insulin? It is a hormone that ABSORBS fat and glucose from the bloodstream and places them into cells for energy. Yes, carbs being digested and converted into glucose does raise insulin levels, but rising insulin levels aren’t necessarily bad because they are necessary for energy. Excess insulin is bad and that occurs because once your body’s cells have all the insulin they need, there is nowhere for the excess insulin to go, hence one starts to develop a myriad of problems like glucose dysregulation, which causes certain illnesses like chronic inflammation that leads to other issues. I, personally, get most of my simple sugars from fruits, oatmeal, dates, etc..., not candy, ice creams, cakes, and other bad foods.
Carbs and weight
(3) It's unlikely that your carbs are causing you to be fat unless you are eating them in excess consistently or you are not consuming enough fat. Read the paragraph and check out the links:
NOTE: when I am talking about carbs, I am not talking about 'refined carbs' which are processed carbs. Stay away from/limit processed foods.
Fat
Your body needs carbs and protein (especially if you are a bodybuilder/powerlifter/athlete), and good fat. 'Good fat' means whatever fats that will increase Omega-3 and some omega-6. A doctor gave me a ratio of 2(omega-6):1(omega-3), which is optimal for your brain health. But the reason we need to consume more vegetables, fruits, and beans is that they contain Alpha-linolenic acid which in turn creates DHA ("Docosahexaenoic acid") or Omega-3. Don't consume fatty foods because they slow your blood flow which causes the heart to work unnecessarily harder.
Also, to add
Preworkout powder
Very unnecessary. Bananas, oatmeal, and protein whey is a much much better pre-workout alternative to powder because the food contains nutrients your body needs.
All in all, consult your nutritionist and doctor because I am just some random on thecoli. But, I stand by my previous post in the other thread stating carb and protein-rich and low fat is the best diet.

Lipogenesis is a term used to describe a process of fatty acid and triglyceride synthesis from glucose or other substrates. This specific biosynthesis takes place predominantly in the liver, while its occurrence in the adipose tissue is of minor significance – even under conditions of substantial carbohydrate overfeeding. Although our understanding of biochemistry and hormonal regulation of lipogenesis stems from in vitro research on rodents, the biological importance, activity and tissue distribution of the lipogenic pathways show considerable variation among different species. In humans, lipogenesis plays an important role in physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions.

I’m intrigued. How do you increase your stomach acid

1. Apple Cider Vinegar
2. Betaine Hydrochloride with Pepsin
3. Zinc Carnosine
Best to take them on an empty stomach in the morning or at night
All I can say is that when we I do Keto mixed with fasted hiit that weight comes off fast as fukk. I eat bacon, hot and Lemmon pepper wings damn near every day, all types of dirty Keto, but that weight still flys off.
I’ll never recommend Keto to anyone but whenever I get too heavy that’s what I do.
