Did you retain muscle mass?

Not possible on 430 calories a day. I mean nobody else except for you will know but at 430 calories, your brain is probably telling you it's doing fine but your organs will suffer if that's kept up.
I'm just looking out for you. I did the same before someone drilled this into my head and told me of the repercussions of eating below 1200 calories a day.
I am eating 430 calories between 7AM and dinner time. After that I eat dinner LOL. Had chicken fajitas tonight. I think you got the wrong idea.
I suggest you read the thread about Paleo and Intermittent Fasting. That combination has worked wonders for me.
I was very skeptical of all the diets were the testimonials were given by 18-20 year old people because my metabolism at 36 is completely different. Another forum member at 35 told me of his progress. I gave it a try and I have lost 20 lbs since Jan 15th.
Understood.I understand, but I don't care.
Im 26 and blessed with a pretty fast metabolism still, so what I do probably would not work well for some. Before I decided I need to trim up and get a little more active, I was eating enough for 3 people because I happen to love all types of food. The hardest part to me was just giving up some of the flavors I had become used to. I like to grill so that helps but some things just cannot be replicated. Anyway, I eat oatmeal or egg whites in the morning with some fruit. Some greek yogurt, peanut butter, or mixed nuts for a snack. For lunch I usually eat grilled chicken and veggies, lean steak with veggies or something similar. Another snack in the afternoon. For dinner, I eat what I want but I don't overdo it. I having added any MRP shakes in the diet yet, because I just want to see where I am at when I trim down. I am maintaining muscle mass and its becoming more defined. I am not trying to become a bodybuilder or such. I have cheated a few times to fix the cravings before that become uncontrollable, lol. I still throw down a six pack or some bourbon every now and then. My workout is unorthodox to say the least, I do lots of bodyweight exercises at times, sometimes dumbbells, sometimes regular weights depending where I am and how much time I have. I am happy so far with the results and obviously doing something is better than doing nothing.
Kicked it in the a$$ on friday knowing I am bearing down on the 190 by May goal.
I need to make shit happen. I am hovering around 200.
Spent an average of 2 hours in the gym each day since friday. Going to keep it up through the 22nd when I leave for a 9 day vacation.
