RE: The Thirty Day SHTF Test Diet: Results And Conclusions
Had I not been fat, the calorie dearth would have presented a problem.
Did you feel at any time that the calorie deficiency was eating at your muscles, instead of fat?
Related to the diarrhea, my stools were far less frequent than beforehand.
I winder how much fat is part of the meals; I would think very little. Also, you were eating far less bulkier food than your normal diet.
It suggests that preppers will have an energy edge in a real SHTF situation because they're already prepared for the eventuality.
For preppers, consider the amount of stress you will be dealing with in those first days. Thankfully, you'll be in a better place mentally than those who didn't prepare, but stress will make a difference in energy consumption. Some people take to stress though, so YMMV. Adrenaline addicts FTW!
Good job in detailing pysch effects; we need to remember these will be magnified in SHTF sitauations!
Congrats on the weight loss! Thanks for the shout-out and the prep test~!
Thank yourself!
No. When I had to do something physical like snow shoveling, I wasn't dragged down at all. If there were some of that, it was subtle and unnoticeable.
Can't say what would happen over two months, but for the month I was drawing down fat.
Good to know; one of the assumptions I have is that calorie deficits attack muscle first. I must have read something wrong there, or remembered it wrong!
De nada ;)
I'm sure what you read is true if you're buff or don't have much fat on your bones.
