Protein intake that low is just insane if you’re doing exercise that much. Your body will accumulate injuries fast, unless you’re defining exercise as lifting 1kg “dumbbells”.

Cutting carbs that much would mean you’re getting virtually all your calories from fat. Most natural sources of fats (nuts, meat, milk) also pack in protein, and you’d quickly be over 0.5g/kg. The only other option is chugging grease.

Not sure how a high exercise, no protein, frequent fasting diet is going to work. It sounds worse than a North Korean laborer’s lifestyle.

Can't die of cancer if you die of malnutrition first!

I'd weigh about 40kg in no time. I usually weigh 70kg but it's not easy to maintain my body weight with my existing diet (at 1.4m tall).

Following this Internet persons advice, I would literally end up in the hospital due to malnutrition / low body weight in 6-12 months.

That's a BMI > 35. That's morbidly obese. Why would you want to maintain that?

Getting your calories from fat virtually reduces your heart disease and diabetes type 2 risk to almost 0%.

I switched from ~150g of protein a day and high intensity workouts to mostly vegetarian and ~40g a day with high volume workouts. Any lingering injuries have disappeared and I am definitely rock climbing harder than I have before. I lost 20lbs and pretty much all non-functional muscle over 4 months. I don’t think I would do this forever but a low protein diet is definitely a tool I will be using in the future. It is amazing how much less food I need to feel satiated not carrying a bunch of deadlift and bench press muscles around.

What do you eat for satiety?
