Thread: PSMF in single digit body fat percentage?

I think the guides to PSMF generally say to not go to single digits. Not sure why though

I went from 245 to 220 in 3~4 weeks. Its a bad idea to follow psmf if you are at 12%. You're gonna lose a chit ton of muscle at that low bodyfat with such a restrictive dieting method.

It works really fast in single digits. Really easy too, but beware, cravings will get insane. It led to me having a binge eating problem.

My problematic areas like love handles were melting off like butter.

If anything, I wasn't eating however much protein the diet recommended because it wasn't needed for muscle retention, but in terms of satiety, you absolutely need to eat more protein. It will help with nitrogen balance, and make sure it's from whole foods like eggs/chicken breast and not protein bars.
