20 Ibs Quickly

[MIGrlNTPA]

I recently went on a crash diet to lose a quick 10 Ibs. It was a success BUT soon after I gained it back plus some . So now I need to lose almost 20 Ibs. What is the average amount of time a person could lose 20 Ibs and it will stay off and it will still be considered a heath weight lost? Please advise.

average, without starving, 10~15 weeks, depending on how much heart you put into it...

It could be done faster, but then it is not average.

well everyones different...but for fat loss you want to shoot for 1/2 lb a wk. I would get the book, The Greenwich Diet by Carlon Colker- that should get you off on the right foot.

I've lost 23lbs since January 1st. I think 1-2 lbs a week is safe.

I agree with this. Anybody who says they only lose 1/2 pound a week is trying half-assed.

You could get shredded alot quicker with drugs.

you can lose up to 2lbs/wk but the weight that is lost is lean muscle & fat! not a good idea in my book.

If you know what your doing, train hard, and use some weight loss 'aids' than youll get shredded in no time.

And by aids I dont mean supplements i mean drugs.

drugs??? uh yeah... she should get some DNP, take that w/ NYC & ECA and have a bath in yohimburn everyday & take a shitload of clen.

That will get her "shredded in no time"...LOL!!

 

[JustJacked]

Shit, I didnt even realize that it was a female posting! I was gonna suggest some winni or something like that.

But even if you are natural you can lose more than 1/2 a pound in a week. At this rate it would take her a year.

1 pound a week naturaly and easily. Train/cardio and eat at the right times and it will be easy.

you don't need any gear to drop a lot of fat and very little LBM. You need to know what you are doing though and monitor your progress EVERY week, making the adjustments you see fit...

I dropped 50 lbs in 5 months, it was about 48 lbs fat and 2 lbs muscle. No gear.

After reading some of your advice here

I find that hard to believe that you dropped 50lb and most all was fat.

Man, the only one I have to prove anything is to myself. I know I did it, clean by the way, and the graph is there for everybody to see. Also some before-after pics.

Nevertheless, results may vary and as I always say, I recommend what I have tested myself and know it works...

So if you feel like searching for the truth...

Man, you are the most useless person on this board. You disagree with everyone even though you have no argument to back your comments up. Just because your a fat fuck who doesnt know how to train for shit doesnt mean other people are the same.

Quit being a asshole.

question to the person who said losing 2 pounds a week would be muscle.. Why the frick can't you lose 2 pounds of fat per week w/o losing muscle? Does the human body stop at a half pound per week and say, "no more fat for me...lets eat the muscle and make the body look anorexic"? I'm not trying to be abrasive here so let me elaborate on why I'm asking.

I'm aware the general consensus is that slowdowns happen due to hormonal activity changing gradually (thyroid, leptin, testosterone, cortisol shifts) with the progression of weight loss, but I haven't seen any concrete studies or scientific information showing that the body is limited to only losing a pound of fat per week or so before it starts eating away at your muscle and your metabolism slows down.

I made a thread asking for scientific info to back up the general consensus on fat loss, and I respect the people who took the time to give elaborate and thoughfull replies to the questions, however while I'm not saying that they are wrong, I still didn't see any scientific evidence to back up the gym science. I agree that bodybuilders have allways been (and allways will be) a step ahead of the medical world as far as body recompositioning is concerned, but I would still like to see some good information to back up the pseudoscience every once in a while.

ralph- the only people who say this are lazy people who dont want to work. They are too lazy to work there ass of to lose the weight so they say its impossible.

 

[pintoca]

It is not impossible, everybody is different and everybody will have a different ratio of body fat vs LBM loss.

It will also depend GREATLY on how much bofy fat (and since how long) you have in your body the moment you start cutting.

If you have a lot of recenlty acquired bodyfat it is easy to say that wth the right program you can loose a lot of it (much more than 2 lbs/week) with little LBM losses.

On the other hand, a 10% BF guy, will have to thread very carefully not loose BF. It is a fact that once the body is lean, it will hold to fat like no other.
