I definitely loss muscle around my quad's & hams but I know I loss body fat too because my clothes all around fit much better or are just too big now. I think the day you should be weighing yourself is your "Day after cheat day" weight. This is your normal walk around weight & is the weight you'd carry around with normal water retention. What I got from this diet is that I craved bad food & now I don't need it. I like bad food but I'm no longer addicted to eating like McDonalds once a week.
this was totally what i needed to watch... cos i have horrible cravings during the week and was THIS close to giving up tonight! thanks alot for inspiring me to press on!
u are right. u will loose weight with the 4 hour body diet because u are not having refined carbs or fruits. no sugar so hardly any fat, but u will loose muslce too because u just are not eating enough. so hit the weights! :)
Thanks for the vid, always good to hear from other people on the same diet, however, I have to say that if you're that interested in muscle, have you done the Occam's protocol? If only the kettlebells then yes I can see one losing muscle for sure and he doesn't say in the chapter "Subtracting fat" that you won't lose muscle. When bodybuilders cut for a show they don't only drop fat but muscle too.... Would be quite interested to hear if you have done Occams. Thanks
@nyclear I completely agree with you. You're supposed to consume lean protein at every meal. and beans are also a great source of protein. Here's an example of what a typical day might have.
breakfast - 3 eggs = 18g
lunch - chicken breast + beans = 35-40 grams
2nd lunch - fish + beans = 25-30 grams
dinner - steak and beans = 30-35 grams
this comes out to 108-123 grams of protein. you won't lose muscle with that. And if you supplement more protein and workout you'll even gain some muscle.
Thanks for the tip. I actually have drank protein shakes after workouts since I was 16. I just wasn't eating enough food (including protein) in general. I didn't blame the kettlebells, I'm sure that the protocol works for some, just not for me. I think the kettlebell swing is an exercise I will continue to do, but noting beats some old school weight lifting to put on muscle ;). Thanks for watching! -Johnny
Johnny, re-read page 142 about the "post-workout" shake. Don't blame the kettlebells. With any muscle stressing exercise you need to make sure you get protein to your muscles. Otherwise your body uses existing muscle to get that protein. That's why you lost muscle, imho. I've started having a lo carb protein shake right before my workout, to ensure I have available protein for growing muscles. Since you need more protein, make the extra effort to get the right protein at the right time.

if you are dieting the body thinks its starving, safes fat(energy) for worse times and starts losing muscles which just burns energy.

well, typically for muscle building, it's advised to take in 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight.

I am curious how the heck more protein was advised? Aren't we kind of shoveling down the protein at every chance we get? at least 90 grams/day?
