OK so as of now i have until right around Thanksgiving (Nov, 26th) to loose 35 lbs to join the army, im searching for all the tips that the community can share with me. send me your best suggestions, workouts, meal plans (Im doing keto, but any meals work), anything to help me burn these calories faster than tiktok burns my time.
 
Drink only water, eat healthy foods. Stay in a caloric deficit. Work out high reps low-medium weight.

Right when you wakeup hit cardio, without breakfast. It will burn from your fat stores, as your metabolism burned all previous food in your sleep.

Eat a healthy breakfast, eat your foods slow and drink water while eating this will make you full faster. Go for high intensity workouts, the shit that burns and makes you outta breath.

Do jumping jacks/pushups at home when you can. Set a daily goal for jumping jacks and pushups. So you can do some early some later and so on.

Make sure to drink lots of water.
 
Drink only water i can do, i do Tea and LaCroix aswell (unsweetened).

Hitting cardio when i wake up i havent heard of, thanks for the tip, ill start doing an hour of biking asap when i wake up then make breakfast.

eating slow i need to work on, but i dont eat too much atm, but i will slow it down even more.

jumping jacks and pushups i can do, im also gonna try to do 100 crunches, situps, X crunches, and such a day. ill add those aswell.

high rep low weight, when i do lift (advised against by my recruiter) i do 10, 15, 20, 25

im from the hell on earth known as AZ, i have currently 8 gallons of water to refil, and drink ~4x 40oz hydro flask's of water daily + from my gallon if im to lazy to get up while gaming.

i have "Total War" pre-workout in Blue Raspberry flavor aswell. and i have Optimum Nutrition protein powder in Vanilla,
-100 Calories per scoop
-0 Fat
-1g sugar
-25g protein

In-between gaming sessions or while gaming, hop out your chair and do jumping jacks or pushups. This will keep your metabolism burning more calories faster even while ur sitting down. Also use the fact ur in a hell hole to your advantage. Go for runs, or like you said bikes so you sweat. The more you sweat the more weight you will lose aswell.
 
I can't give you any tips :| I eat like 3 cakes 4 pizzas 10 cheese burgers and gain like .2 pounds

Well thats not true but I really don't gain much weight and don't work out.

Yes yes, I thought so. That 400 calories isn't enough to fuel your body and burn weight at the same time. So what will end up happening is you'll take from ur muscle so your body can fuel itself. Try to eat 1000-1.2k Calories a day just make sure they're healthy non processed foods.

You're joining the military you want to be in shape but strong aswell. If you continue to only eat 400 calories you're just gonna be skinny and weak, but you wanna be skinny and strong!
 
I dropped 20 pounds in a couple of months:

I did Intermittent fasting (basically you don't eat all day except for a certain window of time, for me, it was 16:8 so 16 hours no eating 8 hours eating) at 4:00 pm I would cook and eat a light meal wait 2 hours (hw, gaming, etc. in the meantime) gym at 6 (1-2 hours-ish, mixed cardio I didn't do lifting since I wasn't really trying to put on muscle just trying to burn fat instead. you can do whatever tbh) and then came back home and cooked a meal high in protein usually rice and chicken. honestly its really up to you and what you want to do a lot of people above me also said some solid things!
 
Luxx Luxx im doing ~12-1600 calories per day because im 235lbs so ~2350 metabolic rate. i have had anothedr 400 calories (small chicken, cheese, brocoli cassorole) and am going to make a grilled cheese with roast beef now to finish off my calories for the day.

anas anas i have ~45 days to drop 35 lbs. so im gonna basically do what you did but hardmode. i can definently start doing intermediate fasting. maybe ill do like what you did. but do like 1000-1800. but because im doing close to clean keto, im gonna try to only have my daily carbs at "night. around 6pm.
 
Keep in mind if you do go the Keto route, be careful once you hit your target weight. It can be difficult to get yourself back to a more normal diet once you cut the weight you want. I’ve watched a few people go a little too far and then have some bad health effects. It’s certainly a fast method to drop weight fast but just be careful coming off it.
 
Simon Simon i know that in basic keto being an option is just about as likely as cartmen from south park being a good person. so my plan is to get to my goal weight and if they put me on the fat A diet at basic to just do my best to stick to proteins, because after this intense weight loss im gonna F up my muscle mass a bit. at that point going straight protein with the PT and such will hopefully keep me safe. but ill do my best to stay safe. im gonna make a post soon about where im at and do daily/weekly updates.
 
Simon Simon Luxx Luxx anas anas
Currently my approx daily calorie intake is around 1800 (500 metabolic deficet)
25g carbs (15% from eggs, usually never hit the 25g but tonight i want a grilled cheese so will exceed a bit)
130g fat (99% is from Cheese & MCT Oil) (Sometimes nuts, but the amount of calories they have vs the fat% gained is horrible)
100g protein (eggs, cheese, meat)
 
My daily meals when i actually meal prep (going to this week, if you have any bomb af keeto dinners send them recipes my way)

Breakfast:
3egg yolks 1 egg white, 1/4 or 1/2 cup cheese, 3pieces of delimeat or bacon

Lunch:
Never have a set lunch, usually do a "keto quesidilla"
which is usally 1/2 or 1 cup cheese /w some sort of meat

Dinner:
Usually Chicken, Fish, or Steak with cauliflower or some other low carb vegie.
 
Yo btw, if you really wanna cut weight fast af and your dedicated water fast. Only drink water from morning to like 9 pm and take lots of nutrient pills like vitamins and shit. My friend did it and dropped 5lbs in 1 week.
 
Luxx Luxx if i drop fast like that, protein builds up in your bloodstream and i will get turned away at MEPS ( Military Entrance Processing Station ) so i have to be moderate yard hardcore about it. also that logistically will not work, due to the body's natural starvation mode.

It logically does, you're eating at the end of the day. It's very important while doing this to maintain nutrients and vitamins through pills. But yeah do whatever works best for you
 
i only half read that sorry Luxx Luxx im cooking dinner. but yeah that wouldnt do well for me with working out throughout the day,
 
Half of it is mindset. Make sure you always keep in mind what you are working towards, and never be like "oh it's fine I'll take a day off." Days like that will kill the whole plan. You got this.
 
Keep in mind that all the meal rationing in the world won’t help if you don’t practice any kind of exercise during the day
I walk around 10k footsteps a day but I eat way more than this regime and I’m very fit
