Thread: Does this weight loss goal make sense ??

I would like to hear the Scientific Answer and people's answer (People who had experience with a similar situation)

160 @ 14% bodyfat = 138 lbs lean.

138 lbs lean @ 10% bodyfat = 153 lbs.

You need to drop 7 lbs. In one month this is possible, but you'll need to do something like "Rapid Fat Loss" aka Lyle McDonald's PSMF in order to achieve it.

Ordinary dieting and training with the goal of one pound a week is reasonable. Faster than that, you need strategy.

He probably needs to drop more than 7 lbs. of total weight, because I doubt he's going to retain all of his lean mass, especially with a restrictive diet like RFL at an already low BF%.

I'd say it's possible but not likely. You can probably get close to your goal if you do RFL for 1 month, but that would absolutely suck.

^ true that. Although if he diets down slowly, he should keep all his lean mass. 10% is nicely lean, but it's not ripped to shreds lean. Won't happen in a month, though.

I kinda answered that one already, here:

What is it that you need to know?

if this is your first time getting to 10% it will be harder than if you were at that level previously. getting to a new low body fat % is always a challenge as the body fights to hold onto fat stores.

Thank you noobie

I've went from 22% to 17% in a month before. So I think u can do it.

It really depends on how many pounds that represents, don't you think? I mean, if you started at 200 lbs and 22% bodyfat, you'd have to drop 12 lbs of fat in a month with no loss of muscle. That's a pretty neat trick without anabolics and DNP! If you're willing to drop muscle, 12 lbs is easy to lose in a month. Not sure how you tested your bodyfat though so I'll reserve judgement.
