HELP ME Coli Fitness Experts!!! I want to lose 20lb by Christmas.

[Sir ZDuke]

Intermittent fasting, but you’re probably not losing that much in less than a month

 

[CopiousX]

Only way you’re losing 20lbs by Christmas is if you do like Naked And Afraid where they’re barely eating from day to day. Like you’ll have to drink nothing but water and a few crackers a day

Get your diet in check first and foremost before anything. You know what junk you need to cut out. Hit the gym at least 3 times a week.

Yah thats a crazy goal. A calorie defecit of 500 lb per day only gets gets you 1lb lost per week. Any more than that and he risks his metabolism slowing down which is counterintuitive.

But breh only has 5 weeks. So @Stuntone would have to miraculously have a 2000 calorie defecit through diet and exercise per day in order to hit his goal. That might legit be a pbj and milk as his only meal each day, while simultaneously hitting the gym 5 days per week , religiously.



Since this 2000 is far higher than a 500 calorie deficit, his metabolism would slow down. Meaning he may need closer to 2300 calorie defecit to stop his body from compensating for starving.




For comparison's sake I recently lost 20 lbs but it took me 3 months. And i held a 2000 calorie limit per day , while simultaneously hitting the gym 4 days a week. So @Stuntone , the weight loss you are describing sounds like hell.

if you are really fat
fat will drop off quickly in the beginning
so 20lbs is doable was a strict diet and exercise

By the numbers sure but let’s be reality. 20 lbs is a random number. There isn’t enough time to lose enough weight to really impact clothes or how you look in the mirror or to others (real or perceived) which is what this is really about.

 

[Astroslik]

So in reality, you’re closer to 6’, 275lbs


But no worries breh, just hit a quick I.F./Keto, jump rope, a shyt load of water and maybe something to clean out your guts/debloat and should be good to go

Edit:
And of course, stop drinking for a long period of time

Jump rope may be hard on his knees at that weight

 

[O.T.I.S.]

Jump rope may be hard on his knees at that weight

He don’t need those knees no more

Thanks Fellas, i really appreciate the advice and motivation. So far so good. I've drank around 100oz today so far. Been hitting push ups and body squat in the office. About to go home and hit the punch bag a while and do boxing drills.


After many of your statements, losing 20lbs by Xmas isn't my goal now, just being on the right track is whether it's 10lb or 15lb. I want to build a healthier lifestyle. Being overweight has really hindered my lifestyle. I'm shy now. I'm not as outgoing and funny as my friends and family are use to. Time for the old me to return.


Off to get some healthy stuff:

Almonds
Tuna Steaks and other fish
Chicken breast
Saltless Seasonings
cucumbers
kales
veggies

What else I should I get?

 

[BandOfGypsys]

Do you know how to cook veggies? And do you know what healthy food is? Honest question, I've known people who think a soda is healthy if it's fruit flavored.


If I had to lose weight I would go strictly fruits and veggies. Anything else I would be selective about when it comes to the calories.

COVID was well over 5 years ago

So that's like 2000 plus days at this point

Christmas is in 31 days bredren

So can YOU lose that weight? Hell fukk no

You been bullshytting next Thanksgiving you can hit your goal but step one is to keep it real with YOU

COVID is not the reason for anything you got going on right now and has not been for a looooong time

Hop to it

Reduce sugar and don’t drink your calories
High protein low carbs clean
Walk/Zone 2 training
Lift

 

[thefloorislava]

1.) Start lifting, this will help preserve muscle so you lose more fat instead of lean body mass

2.) Find out your caloric maintenance and eat at a deficit below. It’s unhealthy and unrealistic to lose more than 2 pounds a week, likely you’ll be losing less than that. Even just 10 pounds of fat loss is massive though so keep that in mind.


3.) If you drink a lot of alcohol and have a bad diet (excessive sodium, fried foods). You are likely a little smaller than the scale suggests. Making simple changes to your diet will drop a lot of water weight over a few weeks.

By Christmas you say, step into my office

 

[Roid Jones]

These threads are always hilarious, why do you some you insist on giving stupid advice? The man is not losing 20lbs of fat by Christmas end of story

 

[Roid Jones]

@The ADD another thread with a bunch of people giving advice they don't follow themselves

Breh, I'm not sure if posters are trolling or truly idiotic
