Dropped 3% body fat and lost 6 1/2 pounds in 8 days!

[kibslibchargeback]

Hi, I just wanted to post that I lost 3% bf and dropped 6 1/2 lbs in 8 days. My starting weight was 160.5lbs and 21% bf. I'm now 154lbs and 17-18%bf, and I'm 18 years old. I posted the diet and asked if it was feasible. I got some feedback saying it wasn't feasible and that 2lbs of fat a week was the usual and not more. The diet I'm on is extremely hard to stick too but so far it was well worth it. I plan on doing this diet for a total of a month. If you guys want me to post it I shall, with the training that I did.

Taking any supps? When you have a high bodyfat percentage to start weight its not too hard to drop quickly, you will prob run into a wall eventually though.

for supplements all i'm taking is 3 protein shakes, glutamine, and 2 mutli vitamins a day thats it.

Yeah, same as lifting weights and increasing poundages.. you hit a wall eventually. Usually the initial gains/losses are great, but in the end, they all slow down.

i find that a little hard to swallow. 3% in 8 days, more like 3 % in 3 weeks. i can guarantee you that the weight you lost was water. i am almost certain of this, unless your taking dnp or clen. on dnp you can drop like 15 in two weeks, but the health risk involved is enough to stay away from that shit. go natural,it is the only way to go. if you want a real cutting diet, i will post the one i am currently on with all the ratios and calories. also here is my cardio and weight training routine

1. week 1 for a 230 lb person that translates into 2350 cals 176 gr pro 235 car 52 fat
   week 2 2000 cal 200 pro 150 car 44 fat week3 2000 cal 250 pro 100 car fat 44 week4 2000 cal 300 pro 100 car fat 44 week5 1700 cal 255 pro 42 car fat 56 week6 1600 cal 280 pro 0 car fat 53 week7 1500 cal 262 pro 0 car fat 53 week8 1400 cal 245 pro o car fat 53 week9 1300 cal 195 pro 100 car fat 14 week10 1200 cal 210 pro 0 car fat 40 week11 1100 cal 192 pro 0 car 36 fat week12 usally a carb load for me or if im not as dialed in its another week of very strict dieting down to 1000 cals, it is very important not to go below 1000 cals. you risk the fact of wasting alot of muscle. that is my diet part. realisticaly you should be ready to go by week 10 or 11 leaving one or two weeks to expirement with carb loading and stuff like that. as far as supps used i rely soley upon whey protein, a multi vitimin and N.Y.C. cycled on and off with hydroxycut (muscletech sucks)usally one week on one week of hydroxy. also towards the end i tend to hold alot of water so i will had some diurex and some preperation h the last week. now,moving on to training and cardio. i split it up into 3 phases for weight traing they look like this. phase 1 (weeks 1-4) mon chest abs /tues legs / wed shoulders, calves/ thur arms, abs/ fri bac,traps/sat off/sun repeat/ phase 2 (weeks 4-8) mon back,bis/ tues quads,calves/ wed shoulders,calves/ thur arms abs/ fri back,traps/ sat off/ sun arms,calves/ phase 3 (weeks 8-11) mon back bis/ tues quads, calves/ wed/chest/ thur hams,calves/ fri shoulders,traps/sat arms,calves/sun off there you have it my wieght workout. first four weeks i lift heavy for 8-10 reps and the shift over to 10-15 reps for the restof the duration. cardio: i start off slow and build my way up to an hour a day 6 days a week. week1 20 mins a day in the am 6 days a week week2 30 min day Am 6 days a week week 3 40 min a day 6 days a week week 4 20 min twice a day 6 days a week week 5 30 min twice a day 6 dyas a week week 6 40 min twice a day 6 days a week week 7 40 min twice a day 5 days a week week 8 1hour twice a day 6 dyas a week week 9 1 hour twice a day 6 days a week week 10 1 hour twice a day 6 days a week week 11 40 min a day 6 days a week week 12 40min mon/ tues off /wed 1hour/ thurs 40 min/ fri,sat ,sun no cardio. when all is said and done i weigh in at around 189-190 pounds and ripped to shreds. i also drink alot of water like 3 gallons a day when i do this much cardio. back to my diet before i end this post. i am a very strict dieter, weeks 1-4 my protein comes in many forms chicken, tuna eggwhites, top sirloin,ect. when weeks 4-11 roll aound its nothing but tuna fish, eggwhites and protein shakes. same with carbs. i ussaly start out with oatmeal, rice ,potatos ect and then when week 5 surfaces its nothing but veggies for carbs and olive oil for fats. there you have it from a competive bodybuilder entering my 3rd contest.

How was your bodyfat measured? Unless it was done by hydrostatic weighing, there's a lot of room for error. I hate to rain on your parade, but more likely you dropped a little fat and a lot of subcutaneous water.

 

[nowuhavetoodie]

i can drop 2lbs of water in one day, with a shitload of diurectics hahahaa. anyways the only way to tell if you are losic bf is by a caliper test or hydrostatic weighing. thats all i have to say on this matter.

Ha. I can drop 3 to 4 pounds of water in just one workout, if I don't drink anything.. I do sweat like a motherfucker though.

I highly doubt i lost 6 1/2 pounds of water. I'm drinking a gallon a day. I used calipers and I have a body fat % scale they both are around 17-18%. I started at 21%. My jeans are so baggy now I have to wear a belt or they slip down. I'm pretty certain most of the weight I lost was fat. Maybe 2 pounds of water.

It doesn't really matter if it was water or not...... it's a good start. Keep it up and monitor you results to see if you have continued loss of BF.

Good luck
