You are right NinjawithaGun and FitFossil it was GNC's Physical Magazine. I hope it was a misprint. However I am not sure by the way they wrote the article. I have been surprised before at how little calories the fitness gals stated they ate while cutting.
May be the T3 theory is not so far off.
Any way as I get older (here it comes....the ol gal's ranting again) I find that being strong AND healthy are more important to me than extremely low bodyfat that I can't maintain. I want to be an example of how a women can successfully grow older and be her best. I know alot of you may think that being in your late 30's and early 40's is "growing older", but I'm heading for mid 50's and am looking to be fit, active and doing deadlifts and squats in my 70's.
I am looking for roll models who have done this, and I'm looking to become a role model for my daughters.
I like the direction Spats is going; building the strength first,then see how the bodyfat responds naturally in the process along with a good clean healthy diet.
