So may be a dumb question. Can a guy weighing 220 just looks

How tall are you and what is your waist size?

The problem here is that you have a body to run, and cutting that much fuel out will leave you with exhaustion and/or malnutrition. I personally find that when I eat at a ridiculous deficit instead of the -500 recommendation I'm way more likely to cave to my impulses for junk food and blow my diet, specially as time goes on.

So basically if you can deal with no energy and have the mental willpower to resist urges, then yes, but I wouldn't recommend it

A big reason people don't do this is it's easier to plateau like that. Also you're more prone to fuck up and binge.

5'11 and 34. I weight 195, cutting to 170. This was a more hypothetical thing.

Initially cutting I was doing like 800-1100 and you're right. It was tough. About once a week I'd go out with the wife and eat at like a 200 surplus, so maybe that helped.

Why not just do the 500 deficit and be patient. You wont look supper shitty once you get to your size. Also you wont feel like shit.

I am now, but I went from 254 to 195 in about 4 months. I was miserable being fat as fuck. As soon as I hit 200 I slowed down. Feels 100x better now. Shit load more attention from the opposite sex too.

My gf broke up with me and i hardly ate for like a month. Dropped 10kg no worries.

Just dont eat for as long as you can.

Wtf is wrong with Japan?

That will fuck up your metabolism. Better reverse diet up to a 500 deficit if you don't want to balloon.

Skele here what about the opposite? Like I want to gain 30lb so I eat the tdee for that weight. Obviously I would probably gain a lot of fat but as I keep progressing and eating at that maintenance would the fat burn?

I've already gone to around a 500 deficit. That shit wasn't sustainable. I just wanted that weight off my fuckin body ASAP.

I think you'd gain too much fat and it would be counter productive. Try doing like an 800 surplus though and see how it is after a bit.
