2lbs per week is the high end of the rule of thumb, you are 2x that. This runs the risk of a metabolic rate not prepared to return to regular eating stamdards, damages liver and kidney enzyme production, and has even been shown to hinder neurogenesis. I have my degree in kinesiology, a minor in nutrition, and 2k+ hours in the field, this come from experience, not judgement, i love your effort, i just want you to be safe.
Idk if I’m the guy to ask, but I mean. Prioritize protein and fiber for weight loss. Possibly prioritize Protein and fats for weight gain? Are you one extreme or the other, like vegan/vegatarian or carnivore? Cuz I think inflammation plays a big role when you eat primarily plants.
