At that rate, you are losing almost 5 pounds of fat per week or, more specifically, 0.6 lbs of fat per day. Since there are 3500 calories in a pound of fat, you would need to be in a caloric deficit of 2100 calories per day for this to happen -- a deficit where your body is almost certainly going to begin feasting on your muscles. But if it works for you then great, and as mentioned earlier, I wouldn't look for much before roughly 4-5 days. Also, 2-3 lbs of fat each week and ~11 pounds of fat in a month is a more reasonable goal to shoot for if you're natural. | |||

Take in (1-1.5 g/lb of bw) protein for the weight you want to be. Add in cardio of choice. It won't be easy (trust me) but it isn't impossible. The protein will help you to keep all your muscle. You may feel like crap for a few days (or not) but it will get MUCH easier with time. | |||

I did it six weeks because it two weeka to just get used to the stimluant effect, im not a big stimulant user. after I build tolerance worked up to six per day than tapered down. I did calorie restriction 1.5 protein low carbs, moderate fat, refeed days and if I felt to out of it Id up the carb day. I saw good results and glad I bought it I bought it when it first came out for 55 $$ so feel lucky now its 40 $ | |||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | WTF is going on here. Why isn't everyone being honest and telling this guy that there's no way, short of liposuction, that he can safely lose more than .5lb/day EVERYDAY for a month straight. That's losing .4 oz EVERY HOUR for 720 straight hours. So you go to bed and eight hours later you wake up weighing a fifth of a pound less then when you went to bed. Have people on AM drank so much supplement company Kool-Aid that they are willing to believe anything is possible? It is mind boggling that this thread has nine responses and not a single person has outright told him that it is impossible. A couple of replies suggested that it might be very hard to pull off but still not impossible. If he had asked if it's possible to lose 25lb in a month would you guys be as optimistic? If losing 18lb in a month is possible then what is impossible? What is the limit to how much weight someone can lose in a month? Let's get real for a minute here. | |||

and I know as well as anyone else on this board you can lose 6+ lbs water weight in a week! I only say 6 cause I lost 6 lbs a week my first two weeks... thats 12 lbs in 2 weeks... Im either awesome or UNHUMAN, if i can lose 12 lbs in my first two weeks im sure this guy can lose 18 in 4 weeks with water weight. While difficult its not impossible and also no one said "hey dude you might lose it but you will keep all your muscle too" 18 is possible, will he lose some muscle... probably | ||||

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Well Was 229lbs now 218 So far good down from 37 waist to 36 maybe 35. Havent lost to much muscle. But i did do a cheat day 2 days ago which added 3lbs back on the next day. Im a little more tired but at the same time im staying awake longer. strength is close to the same reps down about 1.5 less per set. Had some one kick or run into my ankle on a timed run though the Woods. So that hurts and i have cut my running down now switching to bike more. Yes i know i will lose a little muscle which is fine as long as i can still do over 100 sit ups in 2 mins 50 push ups and 25 pull ups and run 3 miles in under 20 mins Does it stuck to lose muscle Yes i have more to lose by keep it Thank you to all the People that have help me the first day i went on this. I was unsure the first day what to do. But i think i will hit my goal if not over shoot it a little. next month goal is to drop 5-6 lbs of fat and try to rebuild any muscle lost 3th month is to lose 4 more and become stronger | |||
