H,

You will only get too skinny if you do lots of cardio, lifts some weights and you will be fine.  Good luck.

Nice of you to offer The wife and I are starting slimming world in the new year so I will probably have a couple of questions but basically I am hoping to loose the middle age spread the rest of me is skinny ish
but at 45 not expecting miracles

hmally123

would I include some cardio as well?

Wardy257

Luckysim,

Good luck with slimming world.

H,

I would just use cardio to warm up and cool down only, for now.  So about 5-10 mins each with the heart rate no higher then 120 bpm.

sorry for keep asking questions, but is the 1.2g per kg lean mass correct? I thought it's per lb normally.

Wardy257

No, that is correct I am a kg kind of guy!

hmally123

so I need around 80g of protein a day. Wow I was having 150g per day on keto

Wardy257

You will need more on a keto diet to compensate for carbs.  There is no harm in eating more protein as long as your overall calorie consumption does not get too high.  I would keep it simple for now though.
