You can burn 5000-7000 calories a day? Holy shit... how do you eat enough to keep up when you're not cutting?

I actually eat like 1000-1400cal normally throughout the week and then eat half of Africa on weekends. Somehow my body has adjusted to this. This severe cut is only for a week so it's not hugely detrimental.

Be careful, there are actual studies that have been done on the maximum rate of fat loss. I believe it's around 1000 calories/day for every 30 pounds of fat.

This is why someone ridiculously huge can lose weight so fast, if you've got 120 pounds of fat on you, you can lose over a pound a day.

Yeah, that's why I always laugh when fat people are so proud they "lost 20 pounds"

When they're over 300-400 pounds they literally have to follow a human diet for 3 weeks and they could easily lose it without any exercise

Much like everything else, their understanding of basic scientific concepts is distended.

That sounds about right. A lot of wrestlers/powerlifters do this sort of water cut as well. It super sucks, but gets the job done.

Is it because they're carrying so much? I know my basal calorie is around 1600? So even if I eat nothing and exercise I'm not losing more than a pound a day. Even that's a stretch. If I carry a back pack with 100lbs of stuff to simulate being fat will I burn more?

Yes, the people losing a pound a day are usually immense, like 400 pounds overweight. Fat takes 3-4 cal/day per pound to maintain so that's a lot of extra.

For reference, muscle is estimated to take as many as 10 cal/day per pound to maintain, which is why gaining muscle mass helps long-term. 30 pounds of extra muscle can mean up to 30 lbs/year of fat lost or not gained.

Practical max for longer than few days is about -1000kcal. (From TDEE) About 1kg / week. Anything more is just water.

You can go lower for few days, but it is really not sustainable + you'll lose muscle.

Ha, yup, it's not permanent and I intend to gain most of it back. It's a water cut. I've done it before and it works.

And this is the difference between pro anas and anorexics. I admit I used to browse and participate on an ED forum. Those of us with serious EDs lost weight fast and (other than even more shameful contests) didn't promote it to anyone. We screamed at people asking for "tipz N trix".

The pro anas spouted their tips like a fountain, always loudly proclaimed their extreme diets, then had excuse after excuse for failing, giving up, or not losing weight. It was obnoxious bullshit.
