Is it a realistic goal to loose 1 or 2% body fat in a month? how much is too much?

FranktheTank · 04-09-2006, 11:32 AM

I was reading an Interview with Diego Sanchez, from the UFC, found here:

http://www.ausmma.com/amma/interview24.html

From that article:

"Sanchez: For that fight I trained eighteen days with Rob Garcia. In eighteen days I was able to get my body fat from 12 to 6 and get in the best shape of my life."

Is it possible to lose body fat that quickly?

I think 1-2% in a month is very attainable.

I doubt he lost that much in less than 3 weeks.

If he did, he probably didn't do it "naturally". However if he did do it naturally, he must have lost alot of LBM in the process. A fight would def. not want to lose LBM, therefore....he used steroids! case closed!

yes its possible depending on where you are now. it you'r at 9% then it would be difficult but possible, if your at 20% then it would be pretty easy.

Depends on your weight now, your body fat% now and your genetic predisposition to losing BF.

But 1-2% is very do-able for most people.

i went from %23.6 to %21 in 2 weeks (body fat based on height and weight).

dontsurfonmytur · 04-10-2006, 12:32 PM

im sure diego sanchez did not lose that fat naturally, as in im sure he used fat burners, creatine products, etc.... but i dont know why everyone assume steroids or shit like that.

footballmaniac · 04-10-2006, 09:16 PM

creatine as a fat burner?

rmcfar · 04-13-2006, 12:01 AM

i think he dropped from the 205 weight class to the 185 if im not mistaken

he was a small 205 and now a natural 185...therefore i think its fairly possible

then again everything i just said could be completely wrong

Lol ya pretty much. He was originally at 185 lbs then he dropped to the 170 lb weight class. I just couldn't get over how much leaner he looked from losing just 15 lbs....cause he looked kind of big when he was 185 lbs on the Ultimate Fighter.

rmcfar · 04-13-2006, 04:10 PM

ahhh there ya go
i was close enough

he must be pretty fuckin short he doesnt look 170

but back on topic...i guess it is possible to lose 15lbs pretty quick but its not going to be fun
