David Goggins cut 106lbs in 3 months. That's a little over 1lb per day. Is it reasonable to think a person could cut 1lb per day for 2 months? David Goggins did it for 3 months, so 2 months is 33% easier, right? Or is my math not mathing. Paddy Pimblett does it practically every fight./cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/74038393/1451361423.0.jpg)

Oh ok wow.
Welp, I just finished Week 1. Going 250 to 190.
What's been your approach? I'm just doing a chill cut the last couple of months (no drinking, cut out a lot of junk but have a cheat every couple of weeks), down about 20lbs.
I knew a guy who was an Olympic caliber wrestler at about 220lbs. (He just missed the US team) He was naturally closer to 240, but would do some crazy stuff to make weight. We're talking rubber suits and the like. You can do a lot of quick and easy weight manipulation using hydration but that isn't a persistent weight change.
Obviously, starting weight matters, and IIRC, you're significantly bigger than me, but here was what I figured: A 1000 calorie/day deficit is about 2lbs a week. I can pretty consistently burn ~2500kcal/day, so that would mean eating ~1500kcal/day. I found that going any lower than that, and even with a protein and nutrient focused diet I'd start to get hangry and my gym & work performance would start to suffer. Even if we assume that you can end up burning 3500kcal/day, that's only 3.5lbs/wk. I really doubt that going lower than 1500cal/day would be healthy for most males over the long term.
Losing a pound a week is only sustainable for like a week. After that you'll inevitably crash or binge eat because your body will cave. These types of diets are for people who are athletes and need something quick because they have the backing of nutritionists and physicians to monitor them. If you want to lose weight, ditch the 'need to lose weight asap' and try adjusting your lifestyle. You won't build lasting and truly impactful healthy habits in the span of a 63 days, but having consistent healthy choices over the course of 1 year will be far more beneficial for you later in life vs the short term.
Not if you're David Goggins.
go become a navy seal and you'll see weight shed faster than the equities market after trump utters the words 'tariffs'.
This is insane cope / mental weakness.
1 lb a week is average weight loss. 2lb is difficult.
People do this for months on end. Yes, you will be starving, and it will suck - but that’s why people like you stay obese.
I think he means 1lb per day. I’ve lost 17lbs the first 8 days.
Really fucking easy.

A pound of fat is about 3,500 calories, so at a rate of 1lb fat loss per day, you need a calorie deficit of about 3,500 calories per day. Like fixing a cash problem through increasing revenue and decreasing expenses, you can fix your fat problem through reducing calories eaten and increasing calories burned.
Assuming your BMR is 1,900/day, and you're currently sedentary, you're burning on average about 2,300 calories/day just sitting around. That means you still won't hit your target even if you eat 0 calories/day. It'll take you about 90 days to lose 60lbs just sitting and starving.
So let's eat 1,200 calories a day (a 1lb steak and a cup of rice) and add exercise. If you eat 1,200 calories/day, you need to burn 4,700 calories/day (1,200 + 3,500) to lose a pound a day. If you burn 2,300/day sedentary, then you need to find a way to burn the remaining 2,400/day through exercise. Rule of thumb is that running one mile burns 100 calories, so you'd need to run (or walk) 24 miles a day. At 8mph, you'd need to run for 3 hours a day, 7 days a week, for 60 days straight, while eating no more than 1,200 calories per day, to lose those 60 lbs.
Also note that as you reduce your BMI, the slower you'll be burning weight. The equation changes, TDEE lowers, and your muscles adapt to the exercise. You'll have to track your progress and keep finding ways to increase the calorie burn.
Understood. I’m still making solid progress and have found a protein powder that doesn’t break the fast.
Every protein powder has more than 300 kcal per 100g, meaning just under 100 kcal per portion. Don't you think that counts as breaking your fast?
Never mind, just saw your other comment :D
Definitely possible if you cut calories low enough - issue is you would probably lose tons of muscle too if you went on that extreme of a cut
Yeah I haven’t eaten since 4/21 - going 0 calories until I can’t take it then going on bone broth.
