Is it at all possible? Do people on CR necessarily have to get SOOO skinny?
With CR, I understand, the body becomes more efficient in the way
it uses the calories it receives. If this is correct, then the following
might make sense to you.
If I was to lower my present daily caloric intake (estimated at 2,200-2,400)
to CR-level (i.e.~1,800) I would, of course, lose weight. Given that my
body-fat levels are low, that would also mean losing muscle mass (not quite
a plus, as far as I’m concerned!)
At some point, however, the above-mentioned better efficiency should
kick-in, right? Doesn’t that improved efficiency mean that I could then be
able to maintain a pre-CR bodyweight (or similar) while staying on 1,800
calories/day?
…or am I just trying to have it both ways?
Cheers,
Fabio
