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.

sounds about right..
-
10 pounds is my morning shit. Maybe I should change my diet.

That orange clay from a two-foot depth

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

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.
-
eat......less.
-
You could also chop off an arm.

Not true. You need to expend more calories than you are taking in. If you cut intake by 300 cals but still not running a deficit you will not lose any weight.

PSMF? Peruse some Muscle & Fitness? GOOD CALL!

A guru? To lose 10lbs???

I live my life perpetually 10lbs over weight. I know my sloppy diet is the reason. I keep saying if I lose 10 lbs. that's where I want to be.
A pound of fat is 3500 calories. You lose calories lifting and cardio during the activity and after. Combine that with a caloric reduction and the math is there to figure it out.
The problem is losing muscle when you lose fat. Back when hydrostatic fat measurements were popular many found they couldn't just lose fat and some muscle would come off too.
I do both distance runs of 3 to 5 miles when I go but I found quicker fat loss with intervals. My favorite being 8 x 400 meters or one lap around a track. Many treadmills will show a 440 yard or 400 meter track as you run. My rest interval was 200 meters or 220 yards of fast walking depending on treadmill. It really seems to melt the fat off but you have to really gun the single lap hard. It's not a pussy workout. Another favorite is 6 x 800 with a 400 meter fast walk rest interval.
The problems with intervals as effective as they are they lead to burn out because of the intensity. It's great to get outside and run a 3 to 5 miles for continuous endurance run for a change.

Wow. You must be a special sort of genius to have figured that out.

Not really. Just need to be able to read and understand the law of conservation of energy.

half of it probably water.
don't eat carbs for a week

Spot on.

I did not say that.
Just said this is not rocket science and some simple common sense here is all that is needed. Then again, this is the internet..

Or both in Dan Hill's case

Groundbreaking. I don`t think this info has ever been shared before.

2 weeks, 3 at the most.

first: up your aural intake of Jethro Tull.
Then the apple cider vinegar, olive oil, kale, clay etc.

Rob i would def NOT add shakes. I always prefer to eat my calories.
ECA, extra cardio and absolutely not sweets. If you're craving chocolate go for one of those quest bars
I lost 8 lbs very slowly over the past 10 weeks. No rush. Were similar in age too so its harder now

I prefer my calories either transdermally or via inhalation.

quest bars are dangerous. One bar turns into 12 , real quick

how about Eggo whole grain waffles as a filling snack when my inner child craves carbs?
i've been downing TONS of fruits and veggies. feel incredible actually, it's day 4 of this. face tighter, all the 'bounce' or jiglle gone from midsection. I usually cut up very quickly.
Soooooo how many days ON/OFF of ECA twice daily?

i agree, problem for some people is to really be effective with intervals you gotta hit it hard as you wrote. Most do not have the fitness to do it. With hard weight training and say Hard Intervals 2x a week.. well most donīt last it over the long haul. itīs my experience that most tend to stick to longer less intense cardio. Hard Intervals as you do are really for advanced people.

Rob it depends, how long will you procrastinate for ???

I'm 4 days in now. it was 2 days of BRUTAL stomach distress. Fiber, fiber, water, water. ECA. I was an unpleasant man, to say the last. Stomach seems to have adjusted now. I wanted to just kick it into gear fast. It's only about ten pounds of fat - abs still have shape but blurred out for the first time in years.
a 7-11 opened near my house and i developed a nasty habit of iced coffee. It's BAD. very bad. Never begin this habit, people.

I usually start from being a fat tub of shit to almost contest ready in 2 months

I'm 6 days in. I think it took 3-4 days of the HIGH fiber eating to really clean me out, but it did the trick. Waistline is down over an inch. I'll take pics in another week, but I look like a new man already.
Oatmeal 2x a day. Daily probiotic. and 2-4 fiber gummies a day. Lots of bananas, ZERO sugar. I had a few french fries last night, then played a 4 hours show so they were burned up.
I had been eating garbage, feeling like crap. I can't believe how happy I feel, with guts all un-stuck once again. I must sound like the old man in the fruit aisle, chatting about fiber to anyone that will listen. I was working with one of my singers, a fairly hot 22 year old, and I'm telling her about the benefits of oatmeal as she's chugging Fireball as fast as humanly possible. I'm *that* guy.
