>half a pound per week is the recommended rate of weigh loss you're telling me it's going to take 2 years to lose 40 pounds?
>>76801327No lol. Are you looking at the correct stats? Maybe if you are a petite woman.I lost 60 pounds since March just by being in a deficit and walking everyday, no lifting or hard cardio and I feel healthy.
>>76801327Where are you getting that number? The recommendation is to not exceed 2lbs a week.
>>768013272lbs a week. You can drop 40lbs in 10 weeks
>>76801327>Humans can only gain 0.5-2lb muscle per month>Tfw it'll take two years to gain 20 lb muscleWhy even bother bros
0.5lbs/day is possible, i've been doing 0.55lbs/day for seven weeks now40lbs in 80 days is doablewould there be health consequences to doing so? idk i'll let you know in a month
>>76801327>you're telling me it's going to take 2 years to lose 40 pounds?52 but okalso if you're fat, 2-3lbs is fine per week
>>76801327Go keto and you can lose it faster tha that. The fat just melts but your muscles stay.
>>76801327Just fast until you reach your goal weight bro. It's a matter of weeks.If you break your fast then refeed for a day and then fast again.It's just food. You can go without it as long as you still have fat.
>>76801425I don't believe this.
Meanwhile you can gain over 10lbs of weight in less than a week.Ciconiggers cope incoming btw.
>>76801541Mostly water. Your muscles & other tissues store water in combination with glycogen. How regularly you eat carbs, especially salty carbs, is a huge factor in rapid weight gain.
>>76801327I lost ten pounds in two months, it might mostly be muscle though.
>>76801327A good tip for normal cutting is to be well into protein synthesis(already lifted) before eating so when you do eat you at least put some of the calories towards glycogen and protein synthesis. Another is to recomp ramping up meals, and for say half a day variably every 2-4 days and reset bmr. You however want to be back to stable slow bulk bmr and not lose water retention if you want best/fastest results, and more accurately to know what peak carbed up state is as not to make shitty gains slow bulking as the difference is huge.
>>76801327Depends on how fat you are. The fatter you are, the harsher your cut can be. Cutting 1% of your bodyweight per week is fine, if you’re above 20% feel free to cut harder
>>76801327just don't eat for 50 days and you'll make it
>>76801541After losing weight slowbulk and that will prevent your fatass from fucking up your new metabolism
>>76801327OP, read this, it's accurate.>>76801599TL:DR: You can lose faster but the more extreme your methods, the more likely you are to fail. Also, look into PSMF.I used to be around 320 pounds. Maybe more, I stopped weighing myself after I got to 320 and I definitely got fatter.In one year, I went from 320 to 200. Meaning I lost about ten pounds a month. This was before I started lifting - all I did was count calories and get 10k steps in daily. I hovered around 200 pounds when I got married.Now I'm going from 200 to 170 (at the end of January), I have six lifting sessions a week, 12k steps a day, and averaging 1000 calories a day. Losing 2 to 3 pounds a week. Feeling fine but my lifts have (obviously) plateaued. Sex drive is intact, mental clarity is fine, hunger pangs are rare.The above is doable but you have the risk of failing, rebounding, and then yoyo dieting.
>>76801327my app says the recommended is 0.5kg per week.that's 1.1lb.
>>76802768I also lost 10 pounds a month for 2-3 months after I started using ozempicended up losing around 60 pounds since this march, but the heaviest I ever got was maybe 220its definitely possible in fact hitting just a 1000ish calorie daily deficit is what put me into 10 pounds a month territory. its not even that hard and its super easy when you are fat because you have a higher bmr. my weightloss has slowed down a lot as I reached normal bmi even though I'm still only eating 1000-1500 calories per day
>>76801327negro what are you on about. You wanna loose fat not weight. i wemt from 40% bodyfat to 34 % bodyfat as of last week in 5 months. I went from 242lbs to 219lbs. Eat high proten whole foods, eat in a calorie deficit, one you have to calculate first, eat fats second and then fill the rest with carbs and yeah you can, they dont make you fat or slow shit down eatimg ina maintnamce/surplus will make you fat no other way. Train 5 times a week progressivly overloading, 1h a day is plenty and you good. Broski all it takes is 6 fucking months to change your life
>>76801452Yes. Hell even 1lb a day is possible through cico.
>>76802710I agree with this. I just wish I could lift weights while fasting.
>>76803435you'd have to burn over 3500cal/day to do thatnot impossible but doing that while eating actually nothing seems inadvisible
>>768013271% ~ 1.5% of your body weight is generally recommended as a healthy amount of fat to lose weekly. So if you are 200lbs for example about a 2.5 punds a week is a healthy amount. Plus to properly track such a small deficit to lose half a pound a week is almost impossible desu
