How long does it take you to "turn around" being 10 pounds overweight?

[240 is Back]

As a standard getbigger, you are no doubt 3% body fat at 305 pounds, offseason.  But if you weren't, and you were carrying an extra 10 pounds gained over the past 6 months (mainly due to iced coffees, bigger breakfasts, late night snacks, etc)... How long would it take you to turn it around, and how would you do it?

I'm guessing... Add ECA for a few weeks.  Bump up the water & fiber.  More shakes.  Cut all sugar not from fruit.  And add in 30 min cardio 4x a week.
And in about 3 weeks, that ten pounds would be gone, abs back as always, etc.

More or less, is this the case for you?  thanks getbig.

[njflex]

sounds about right..

[MORTALCOIL]

10 pounds is my morning shit. Maybe I should change my diet.

Cue the "Vinces" in 3...2...1...

[BB]

Yeah, 3-4 weeks, maybe 5 if you want to make it painless. Figure #5 or so, the first week, #1 - 1.5 the weeks after.

I've never been fat so I don't know.

Like Hulkatron said, it's more a case of how long before you get enough time to start digging, and if there is somewhere nearby that has enough sea salt and kale.

If natural then about 5 weeks....
Also unless you calculate your lean mass weekly you won't have a clue on 'what' you lost

Yes megadoses of apple cider vinegar are also recommended for beginners.

Gout is for heroes, doers, pioneers. Those who do not wish to be counted with the cold, dead, mediocre souls who knew neither obesity nor anorexia.

3 weeks... if you kill morning cardio (empty stomach), lower your carbs and don't cheat on your diet. 

Absolutely NO breads or simple carbs at all.

[BigCyp]

I bet you could lose 10 pounds, if you DIDNT lower calories intake AT ALL, yet cut out simple sugars and especially salt completely.

You would lose it in just water.

10 pounds of fat would be very hard to lose in 3 weeks.

People on the show "Naked And Afraid" lose about a pound a day and they are getting literally zero calories during the 3 week period.

[liberty]

Just go KETO for a month....the zero carb prep for 14 days alone while you  continue workout and do HIIT cardio will result in a significant weight loss although you'll gain a little back with the re feeds but just stay on the KETO till your happy .

And lots of calories burned from cardio and nervous sexual tension

[El Diablo Blanco]

Just start crossfit and in 3 days you'll be 50 pounds leaner and 10X stronger.  At least that's what the flyer says.

was just about to say this.... 10lbs is nothing, ya lose that nice fullness, then ya look smaller, then you ask "why did I start this, I looked bigger before?) then you go around looking smaller, everyone notices you look smaller yet can't see the awesomeness you're in the process of creating.

Keto for 10lbs? Not needed to suffer like that at all....

Just lower your calories.  Nothing else needs to be done.  No supplements of any kind needed.

[visualizeperfection]

eat......less.
