Don't do it Ron. 40 lbs in 3 months is 3.3 lbs/week, 1,666 cal deficit per day of sheer muscle wasting.
40 lbs of true fat loss for the year would be excellent progress.
Thanks for the advice. Now can you give me some time and determination, and tell me not to be so lazy.
Well, the more determination you can muster the more time you'll get. Know what I mean, Chief-o-roony? 'Don't be so lazy.'
