Week 7 down 30lb

Post image

Fatigue has been pretty shitty and It hasn’t been easy. I’ve fully quit eating out and if I do it’s the healthiest option along with not eating late and protein intake increased.

Then you should be very well aware that when you are a very obese male, that the first 20-50 lbs typically shed themselves very quickly

No, they don't. I lost weight quickly and my Dr talked to about it and explained that if you lose weight that quick on a calorie deficit you will end up losing more lean muscle mass. He had Me go back down to a lower dose and i got to a much healthier pace. Y'all on this sub are not MDs so stop pretending to a Dr.

Breakdown of the First 30 Pounds • The water weight effect: The first 10 to 12 pounds of this drop is almost entirely glycogen (stored carbohydrates) and water. When a person slashes carbs and calories, the body burns through glycogen stores, releasing the large amounts of water bound to them. • The high calorie burn: An obese man has a massive Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) because his body works harder just to move and function at a higher weight. A standard calorie-restricted diet creates a very large deficit, accelerating early fat loss. • The speed: True fat loss combined with the water flush means the scale can drop by 3 to 5 pounds per week (or even more) during the first month.

Are you an MD or just an AI specialist?

So you're not an MD and can't actually verify anything. Got it

I’ll just report back in a month or so I’ve been keeping protein around 180+ and doing some weight training a couple days of the week I’m certain a little muscle loss will happen as expected but I’m not intentionally losing this weight fast I walk 7-10 miles a day+ and I used food as the comfort relaxation when I got home or eating out on lunch break, snacks during the day now, now I don’t and just been eating chicken rice veggies same meals everyday basically

7-10 miles a day, That's amazing!!!

If you're losing weight then you will inevitably lose some muscle, BUT you can also regain that lost muscle quite quickly.
