Protein restriction decreases bodyfat without decreasing muscle mass (protein should be 9% of your macros max).
Increases energy expenditure by around 20% and leads to fat loss even eating at maintenance.
But between high fat, low protein and high carb, low protein, HIGH CARB causes the most important spike in FGF21 (8fold) compared to only 2-fold with keto
Beware, you shouldn't do this if you care about height growth, it will 100% stunt your growth since FGF21 increases during fasting and exercise and is a response to scarcity, this won't just stunt your growth indirectly though lack of nutriments and but directly too since FGF21 leads to GH resistance in chondrocytes and inhibits chondrogenesis, it's called the starvation hormone for a reason.

Works by increasing FGF21 and causes mitochondrial uncoupling like DNP, so it increases energy expenditure.
