No, i do this everyday all day long. This is my job, to help people achieve their weightloss goals. I don't care what you know. I understand you lost weight but i also understand how easy it is to manipulate very minor changes to your intake with out any increased exercise. What i was saying is, once you get to a certain point it becomes a lot harder to lose the pounds than just diet change.
When you can train a bodybuilder to sub 5% bf levels then you can talk down to me, untill then keep on with what your doing.
If you feel you know more go ahead, talk to me about water, sodium and potassium manipulation and how it affects normal body functions and how you can manipulate it to give the illusion of striations.
