I got a little bit of a back injury about 6 weeks ago and my diet and training went out the window until just over a week ago.
I was eating junk/fast food daily, almost every day, sometimes twice a day.
Was skipping breakfast alot too.
Anyway, back on track now and eating healthy again for lean gains.
However, the results of the 5 week crap food diet with zero training was interesting.
Had a Dexa scan just over a week ago to check my body fat %, as I want to measure my muscle gains for the next 3 months.
I am now at the lowest body fat levels I've ever been at for about the last 10 years, 14.5% with 68.4kg of muscle mass (80.0kg total body weight)
Just over a year ago, I did a 8 week cut from about 90kg and got down to 81.4kg, 14.8% fat with 69.4kg muscle mass.
This it the pic of those results:
I am now just 1kg less in muscle mass, but also have lower body fat too.
The difference this time was that I started a lot lighter than last time before this junk diet, maybe 85kg and it happened in about 5 weeks.
So, all I can say is that the physical results of a junk food diet with no training produced almost the same results as my planned cut.
Obviously, it is not a healthy thing to do though.
Still, the results are suprising.
Of course, I must have been eating below maintenance calories to lose weight.
I knew I was 80kg when I went in for my latest Dexa scan, but thought I would have lost more muscle and gained more fat because of the no training and junk food diet, apparently not
