That is not a good rate to lose weight. A rate of ~1% per week for 3-4 months followed by 1-2 months of maintenance before the next weight loss phase is much more sustainable and you are more likely to not gain back the weight after the target weight is achieved.
- asdff 4y agoYeah its a terrible way to lose weight, that's why stickies on places like bodybuilding forums encourage a moderate deficit plus exercise to maintain bone and organ health (1). But it goes to show that with a deficit you will shed weight. There is no special sauce in individual metabolism that makes energy from nothing at the end of the day. Losing weight is a matter of thermodynamics. 1. https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=165843261 https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=165843261
