19% body fat. Need help.

[A12]

Hi guys, I got some questions if anyone could help I’d appreciate it.

I’m currently 212 lbs at about 19–20% body fat, and I’m looking to drop down to 15%. That would require roughly 10–12 pounds of fat loss.

My plan is to eat around 2,000 - 2,300 calories per day with 200 grams of protein. I’ll be burning about 500 calories per day through cardio (walking roughly 5 miles). I’ll be Weight training every 2 days.

With this approach, my total daily calorie deficit should average around 500 calories per day. At that rate, I should be able to reach 15% body fat in approximately 10–12 weeks.

I’ve never been below 19% in my life and I basically just have some questions.

1. Is my plan going to work ? Is my Math correct ?is there anything I’m missing ?? I been researching lately and heard that as the body fat% goes down it starts taking longer to lose body fat. with my plan how long should I realistically expect to be cutting ?

2. I’m thinking of throwing in some Yohimbine and injectable Carnitine.
Also considering a baby dose of DNP 125mg every 2 days for a month or so. Would that dose be too small to have any effect ??

I’d appreciate the input if anyone could help me out.

Where the hell are you coming up with this ridiculous number!!! 5 miles is close to burning 50 calories.

Cardio is great too, OP do not listen to this guy at all.

i said exactly that. he said it was burning 500. it burns closer to 50 cals.
I never siad cardio was bad. I just said burning 500 cals by walking 5 miles is not possible

It 100% is at 4mph and at a 6 incline.

50 cals lol get off the crack pipe, what do walk one step then stop and pause and walk another step then stop for 30 secs?

I'll offer up my recent experience. I just finished a cut from 246 lbs on July 7th to January 4th, getting as low as 202 and finishing around 206. Most of that time I was on 150 mg/week of test with 2 IU of GH, then increased to 225 mg and added reta at 1 mg every five days for the last six weeks thats it.

I kept cardio pretty minimal until the final six weeks when I pushed it a bit harder while keeping calories manageable. If I’d started with heavy cardio I think I would’ve burned out early. I began fairly conservative then increased the deficit to roughly 500–750 calories once I realized my fat ass could handle less cals.

The biggest thing for me was consistently logging my macros (I’m still doing this in my reverse). Keep it simple: track your intake, and if you’re losing 1–2 lbs per week keep the same macros until you stall. Don’t overthink it nail the basics and everything else tends to fall into place.
