Come on man... I know better than that. Low carbing does NOT weaken body structure or bones. Im eating the right foods, exercising (not in the gym) and the results are manifesting exactly as expected. Muscles will be sacrificed when the body is looking for protein to burn as fuel (catabolism). If I am eating enough protein, this does not happen and it isnt happening. The bones are simply not affected at all by low carbing. HOWEVER, drinking cow's milk IS destroying your bones, by making your blood acidic and forcing the body to leach calcium from the bones to neutralize it.

If I had no experience in this type of eating lifestyle, I might defer. But I have personal experience with it.
Bro, you have experience losing weight. The low carb diet isn't what weakens the body, lack of exercise does. Resistence training is essential for both men and women especially at your age. I'm not saying you need to be a bodybuilder or even a fitness model but you need more than walking to keep the body strong. When you pass 40 you're also fighting against the forces of aging.
Catabolism occurs on a constant basis. If you think stuffing tons of protein is a magic elixir to anti-catabolism you're fooling yourself. There is no way you can stop your body from breaking down muscle with any diet. This is where proper exercise AND diet come in.
You can say whatever you like about milk or anything else I do or ingest to make yourself feel better dude. It doesn't change the facts. I didn't just wake up one day and decide to follow a fad or one single method to get here.
If my bones were being destroyed I'd be on here every other day complaining about ailments. Instead, I'm leg pressing > 1000 lbs. I'd say my bones are just fine.
I know you're obsessed with milk but your total lack of understanding of the entire regimen I follow leaves you only focused on milk for some reason and is blinding you to the entire picture.
Anyway, I'm not gonna change your mind because, obviously, you know best.
