Bunch of fat nikkas in here...
I lost 32 pounds in 37 days before I went to bootcamp just by cutting out carbs and the sugars...
For me just cutting out the breads,pastas and shyt helped...only had one cheesteak in that whole timespan too..ate nothing but chicken,fish,spinach. My cheat snack was an apple with one scoop of peanut butter.
I dont got the will power for that shyt... I get hungry too often through out the day.. I work out a LOT way more than the average person, just as much or below a professional athlete but my diet is
and I hate cardio the only thing stopping me from getting fat really is because I do work out and go HAM in the gym but if I could do a few weeks of some shyt like this id be ripped as fukk 
I dont know if I can do a month without pasta
example... I just had a bowl of cereal 1 1/2 hours ago and im STARVING pretty much right now
if I ate an apple id still be hungry as fukk Ive always been this like, i dont know how to fix this 
I'm in the same boat. Work out all the time but still eating goodI dont got the will power for that shyt... I get hungry too often through out the day.. I work out a LOT way more than the average person, just as much or below a professional athlete but my diet is

This is the Paleo/Primal diet.
I lost over 50 lbs in less than a year on this. Worked like a shot for me.

Lebron has a nutritionist, I'm sure he's getting good advice.
I love how many experts suddenly appeared in this thread.
Once he hits up the carbs again he will fill out to a solid level.

I don't like Lebron anymore, but I got to defend him here. It's clear that there is a high amount of flabby and sick nikkas in here that have no idea how fitness, nutrition, and working out works.
"Oh, he gained 20lbs in one year, must be HGH :derp:" or "Oh, he lost 15 lbs in 4 months, must be off the HGH :derp:"
I've personally cut processed carbs (breads) out my diet and very little sugars (a banana or apple a day) and I've lost 10lbs in 3 weeks. This is all without the trainers and dietitians that Lebron surrounds himself with.
@Malta, let 'em know.
Yeah, I'm guessing these dudes never heard of rapid fat loss diet or Ultimate diet 2.0, both of which are extremely low carb diets while retaining muscle mass.
I've done low carb diets as well, retained mass and while I lost a bit of muscle endurance my 1rms never dipped.
It's shockingly bad.
I'm not a nutritionist, nor do I play one on tv, but a lot of people on here are getting some real basic facts mixed up with regards to carbs/proteins/sugar/fat/hgh.
First of all, for the type of exercise that Lebron does, carbohydrates do not really matter. Because of the nature of an NBA game, his heart rate is only going to be elevated to the aerobic zone for brief periods of time, before there is a stoppage of play and it can return to a resting rate. For a world class athlete in his condition, it probably takes less than 45 seconds for his heart rate to drop out of the aerobic zone during even the most strenuous of NBA games and/or practices. If your body stays in that aerobic zone for more than 45 minutes (distance runners, soccer players), carbs become much more important.
Basically, anything your body eats it's going to convert to glycogen (sugar) and use that for energy. Carbs convert easily, but are used up quickly. Protein and vegetables do not convert easily (as efficiently) but "last longer". It's why if you eat 2 pieces of white bread for lunch youll be hungry in an hour, but a salad can make you feel "full" for longer. But if you're exercising for a long duration, you NEED to replace the glycogen in your body--carbs are the easiest way to do that, which is why gatorade has carbs (and every athlete drinks it,) and you see marathon runners eating that goo, or candy on their runs. If you DON'T replace those carbs in your body when you're working out, your body will turn to its stored energy: fat. After it's burned through all your fat, it will cut into your muscles. You can tell from Lebron's definition, he is eating correctly--if he wasn't he wouldn't be ripped like that.
Why did he make this decision? It's a smart move for a guy at his age and at this point in his career. He's been playing well over 80 games a year for what? 10 years now? That is an incredible amount of strain on his knees. I don't follow his career that closely, but I've never HEARD of him having arthroscopic procedures in the offseason. His knees seem to be in great shape, which is good for him. By eliminating weight from his frame, he can probably not only extend his career, but actually perform better than his peers as the season drags on.
And as for HGH, that has nothing to do with his dietary changes, that affects the level to which he is able to recover from his workouts, and what he is able to do in a week as it relates to working specific muscle groups while avoiding injury. In fact, as weird as it might sound, I wouldn't be surprised if he STARTED using HGH this summer to complement his dietary changes. The biggest change for him would likely be that feeling where his muscles "hit the wall" much earlier in a workout (as they have less glycogen to burn through). It's probably a feeling he's not used to.
EDIT: also, the HGH thing is ridiculous because why the hell would Silver EVER test Lebron? He is bigger than the league, bigger than the sport. If Lebron has peed in anything other than a toilet in his 10 years in the league, it's been a groupies mouth. Trust me, I promise that's how billion dollar organizations operate.

He said he's in the 250 range now, dude must have been around 265-270lbs last year if getting down to 250s shows a difference.
He was in the 250 range (245) when he entered the league. He looks about the same now. He was definitely in the 265 and up range in MIA.
