1 week fast

[Lexington]

Hey guys I know this isn’t the most healthy thing to do nor conducive to muscle retention but I really need a boost and motivation for this cut just some fast visual change. Would a 7 day fast strip a good 5-6lbs of fat off without doing too much damage? My TDEE is around 2700-3000 calories without cardio.

This will be the first week cutting running just 500 test 300 mast. I figured one week fast would be equivalent to 5-6 weeks at a moderate deficit.

I know it’s frowned upon but I’m desperate lol

Why do you think eating only grilled chicken breast and lifting weights for those 7 days would slow down your fat loss?

How desperate?

Are you desperate enough to eat 2500 calories daily for the next 30 days? 250 grams of protein minimum (1000 calories), get fats below 30 grams (270) calories, and the rest from 308 grams of carbohydrates?

Are you desperate enough to burn 400 calories or more on cardio several times a week?

Are you desperate enough to pull your carbs lower every few days (oh, pull them down to say, 100 grams every third day or so) to see how your progress goes?

Are you desperate enough to lift weights intensely for those 30 days?

Are you desperate enough to give up alcohol for 30 days?

Are you desperate enough to track your food and drink for 30 days?

500 test / 300 mast is a lot, but it is kind of stupid to deprive your body of protein while also injecting steroids.

Your body needs 3 things to hold onto muscle: (1) protein, (2) hormones, and (3) resistance training.

If you deprive your body of one of those signals, then it will shed the muscle. You need all three signals in place to hold onto muscle. Your desperation is going to cause self sabotage.

What about my questions?

Are you desperate enough to do that for 30 days?

If the answer is yes, then take some before photos, take a before waist measurement (waist, at the navel, not hips where your pants sit), and take a before weight measurement, and report back in 30 days to let us know how things are going.

Forget your idea.

It is a bad idea.

It’s just 1 week though it’s not like muscles will panic and run away lol. I need to see some results the first week so I have motivation to keep going.

What’s the worst that can happen if I do it though? Muscle loss? That can come back easy.

Not sure was this pointed towards me because I said Mabe 7 days lean protein. not sure?

I agree with your second post for sure. Most of us have shot our selfs in the foot over diet, and misusing ass, in relation to diet especially. But I think. 24 , 48, 72 hr fast can be very beneficial for looks reset insulin sensitivity ect , a bunch more not coming to mind. Even Dorian came in spilled in to a mr. olympia and had to do a ful 3 day fast out of desperation.

But yea for sure diet should be dialed in before using aas and trying stupid fasts.

Dude, worst thing that can happen probably with zero food for a week is ur hair will start to fall out, and after ur 7 days I would be able to push you to the floor using one hand like u we’re a little kid u will be so weak.

Muscle memory is a thing but takes weeks to show for at best, and it’s not that easy growing muscle. It’s worse than watching paint dry.

Alright just 1000 calories of protein at the most is what I’ll do. I need results fast enough to where I can tolerate looking at myself before slowing down to a moderate deficit.

You end up binge eating 20,000 calories and then continue to eat like an asshole.

Haha man I can barely get through 5k cals of junk food even when I’m hungry. Truth is I can be patient in losing fat on my body but my face looks like shit rn. Been eating slightly above maintenance the past month and half low protein and garbage. I’ve gotten weaker smaller and face fatter all simultaneously. Weight has not changed at all I just look much worse. I made the mistake of coming off during this time so I dug a deeper hole to get myself out of. I just need to get back in shape asap and get control of this terrible moon face
