Fastest amount of time one can lose 50lbs in?

So standing at 6ft 245lbs - feeling disgusting brahs

I would like to get down to sub-200lbs by June.

Do not ask for physique photos as I am a mess. Huge flabby gut (subcutaneous fat not visceral) and small arms. You get the picture haha

How bad do you want it? Google #snakediet and get to work. Nothing drops fat faster than extended fasting

This. If you go crash dieting you're just going to get fat again when you rebound. Change your lifestyle and habits, that is the only way to loose weight properly and keep it off permanently.

After the initial water loss/shock to your body, 1-2lbs a week is a general idea of sustainable weight loss.

Fair points. Losing 50lbs as fast as possible sounds like a typical yo-yo way of dieting.

But I am serious. My goal is to cut the fat ASAP and then maintain the loss with lifestyle changes and good diet.

Look guy, cut your rest periods in between sets, throw in some cardio, and start eating healthy.

There is no secret, and don't fall for any of the diet fads like intermittent fasting, paleo, keto, Atkins, gluten free, etc.

If you want to drop weight fast, you gotta fast.

fasting will use up those reserves.

How long it take you to get to this point, that is how long it going to take to get in excellent shape.
I just want to share the knowledge I have obtained throughout my life and hopefully change someone's life.

You shouldn't lose more than 1-2 lbs a week (except first few weeks when you lose a lot of water weight) to avoid all kind of skin problems. So essentially at least 6 months.

I was 255 on Jan 15, and 235 now 70 days later. This has been a totally reasonable rate with Keto and cardio 5-6 days per week.

In clothes I look great. With shirt off there’s some loose skin, but I’m sure that will eventually tighten up.

No. Not even close. I was a fat slob at christmastime (210lbs), which was a gradual gain of 5 years from 180lbs. In 3 months I'm down 24 pounds, another 2 months I'll look pretty darn lean. Op could be looking pretty joosy in about 9 months.

The thing about weightloss is the journey is kind of fun. Clothes fitting looser/better. It doesn't have to be all about the end game.

Everybody should just neg these stupid threads on sight. Motherfkers will come up with so many excuses, and ask the dumbest questions about every detail rather than just lifting weights 3x a week, counting calories and eating healthy. I am not offering assistance anymore.

6 months if you want steady weight loss at 2lbs a week

If you wanna be sub 200 by june, you gotta crash diet and potentially lose a lot of muscle with your fat

Gotta figure out how bad you really want it. Think hitting the gym is hard? That’s the easy and fun part. Making better dietary choices is the hard part. Saying no to drinks with friends, office birthday cake, mid afternoon snack / lattes, etc.

First and foremost I would say diet. Losing weight is roughly 80% diet, and 20% working out. Gotta burn more calories than you consume, and roughly 3500 calories to a pound. Track your food. Cut 500 calories a day off. Cut out processed foods, cut out sugar, eat way more green leafy vegetables, potatoes/bread/rice/pasta sparingly, no booze / soda, way more water.

Then move more. Get a fit bit / Apple Watch and get those steps in. Depending on your past level and experience working out, it can be as simple as start walking and do a barbell program like Starting Strength.

I lost 39 pounds in 3 months. I was in a competition and won actually. Zero alcohol, zero cheating of any kind for that whole duration. Worked out a lot, 8 hours of sleep every night. You have to live and breath it. The last 4 days I did a dehydration method with helped with the last 6-7 pounds. Totally worth it on my 7 day, 2 person all paid Alaskan cruise.

If you were 449 pounds I would say you have a chance.
