So this is something that isn’t talked about much. Did you lose or gain weight during LL?
I know that people come out of LL with bony buttocks and skinny thighs due to the sitting and increase of length in the femurs, how about the rest of the body?
I’ve read some posts where people have claimed to gain weight due to doing nothing for months, and others have said the whole LL process requires so much energy that they lost anything up to 10KG.
What was your experience?

Quote from: TheAlchemist on June 16, 2020, 02:34:27 PMLost weight and I ate like a fat boy all throughout distraction. Pizza, chips, ice cream, and burgers all day everyday. It was great. Despite all that, I still lost a ton of weight. Broken bones, and the slow distraction of them over 3 months, burns a TON of calories. I normally hover around 165 to 170 lbs however during distraction I dropped to about 140 to 145 lbs. Of course, post distraction I am slowly gaining it all back...
Wow that’s crazy! Imagine eating all those calories for 3 months straight and still losing weight. Thanks for sharing.
