i'm following a not-so-strict diet based on Crumcake's diet (zero-low carb, high protein, high fat, high in fiber) but i may think i'm actually shedding too much weight.
lately, i don't know of my scale is completely accurate, but i went from what i thought was a safe 2-3 pounds a week to about 5 pounds in 4 days (weigh in is in the morning on an empty stomach).
i do high intensity cardio for 45 mins a day, i lift every other day (alternate heavy/light weights).
i'm 5'7 1/2, 129, lean, medium frame.
i'm not so strict on my diet, but i eat every 3 hours usually and two of those meals consist of flax seed meal and a protein shake.
i'm worried about losing muscle mass. i heard somewhere anymore than 3 pounds a week and your body uses up 1 pound of muscle as well.
i think i have a calorie deficit of about 400 cals or something, but like i said i don't really worry about it that much.
is it ok to lose that much weight? or if not, what should i eat more of?
