That's because after a certain period of
increased caloric reduction all types of anabolic receptors and hormones get up - regulated.

We found that RMR, the major component of total daily energy expenditure, did not
increase with the high - protein diets and that overall weight loss during ad libitum feeding was fully explained by the cumulative
reduction in
caloric intake.
Studies have shown «that a lifetime regimen of restriction in total food or
caloric intake resulted in a remarkable
increase in the length of life and a
reduction in incidence of several debilitating and life - shortening diseases,» reports Ross boldly.15 Unfortunately, the «benefits» of calorie - restriction only accrue when rats are given severely calorie - restricted diets immediately after weaning.
In fact, drastic
reductions in
caloric intake reduce leptin levels, faster than could be explained by body fat losses (the same goes for overfeeding, which
increase leptin levels faster than can be explained by body fat gain).
Consensus statements from leading governing bodies generally recommend that carbohydrate quantities should range from 3 to 12 g kg 1 body weight.9 - 10 However, recent work suggests that LCHF diets that raise blood ketone levels can
increase fat oxidation rates and markers of health and exercise performance.11 - 12 In addition to
increased fat oxidation, other potential benefits of LCHF eating plans for endurance athletes include improved training and racing energy, lowered incidence of delayed onset of muscle soreness,
reductions in exogenous
caloric requirements during training and competition, and the reduced incidence of serious gastrointestinal complaints.13 Although nontraditional, an LCHF eating plan approach has been recommended for athletes in a variety of sports for nearly 40 years, 14 and this report is representative of other cases.
Mettler, et al. [29] also found that a
caloric reduction coming from dietary fat while maintaining adequate carbohydrate intake and
increasing protein to 2.3 g / kg maintained performance and almost completely eliminated LBM losses in resistance trained subjects.
