My weight has dropped to 66kg after moving to a more paleo inspired diet.
I was worried when I got on the scales as im trying to build leg power but my body fat had also halved to 8.5% well below targets.
Low carb / higher fat diet easy to stick too, reduced hunger and no binge cycles I find are triggered when i'm eating refined carbs.
Clearly I need to rebalance my calorie intake at some point but might try for 6% body fat just to see how it feels.
Worried about eating increased levels of saturated fats, will probably check cholesterol levels next month, but think it involves a blood test and I don't do needles.
