Re: Lowering percent of body fat

[Guest guest]

Without hormones? (for the 71yo).

The picts look like they actually gained weight from 2 to 14, because pict 2 looks emaciated.

I wonder what they look like now?

Regards.

Subject: [ ] Lowering percent of body fat

Occasionally, I look through body-building sites to see theapplication of nutritional principles to achieve outstandingphysiques. This does not necessarily result in longevity, but itrequires caloric restriction. Here are the pictures of a mother(age71) and daughter(42) bodybuilders:http://www.agelesstraining.com/gal-03.htmIn one of the articles in their web page they mention the proportionof nutrients in their diet, but if you count protein and carbohydratesas 4 cal/gram and fat as 9 cal/gram, the total calories indicateddon't add up. Nevertheless, there is severe caloric restriction goingon in order to achieve the 6% body fat for competition, but it is notmaintained for long.

Keep in mind that Colleen weighed 140at the start and 124 at the conclusion. If the goal is to gain musclemass you reverse the process as Colleen alludes to in week 13+.>>>
