lol. I've got bad news, and I've got bad news...which do you want first?

Well, first of all, there is a limit to how much "fat" your body will dump
in a week. IOW, you could starve yourself completely, and you'd lose
weight. But a lot of it would be LBM. You can't tell your body "just dump
the fat please". Doesn't work that way. My last cutting cycle was nice and
slow...about 1 lb per week, and I still lost about 37% LBM in the 10 lbs I
dropped. If you starve yourself, you'll drop the weight. But it'll be the
LBM you wanted to keep.

There is no 3 week quick fix...sorry.

Larry,
Thanks for the reply. I know I can't do much, but I would like to
maximize what I can do in three weeks. I had no idea it was that slow
going to lose body fat-shows my inexpirience. Would cutting carbs,
increasing protiens, etc, help in any way?

Larry,

From what I understand, keeping protein intake high while cutting will help
minimize the LBM loss. And two lbs per week is what most guys here
recommend for maximum weight loss without screwing up your metabolism.

3,500 calories = 1 lb of fat. So, theoretically, if you cut 3,500 cal in a
week, you'd lose 1 lb. Obviously, it's not all fat, but you get the
picture. So you could shoot for a caloric deficit of 7,000 per week. An
average of 1,000 per day. That should drop 2 lbs per week. If you figure
your BMR is 2,600 kcal, then eat 1,600 per day.

The reason carbs can be bad is they are calorie dense given their filling
power. I'd do chicken, turkey, tuna and tons of veggies. Do stir fries
will one of those meats and veggies. Just watch the oil, because it has a
ton of calories too. I stir fry with minimal oil and use salsa (the fresh
kind that is watery) to moisten things up without adding calories more oil.
And...it tastes great too. Protein shakes with fruit are good too.

Make sure you continue to work out and lift heavy. That will tell your body
that it needs to retain the LBM. Muscle is very inefficient, so if you're
not using it when running a caloric deficit, your body will tend to shed the
muscle and keep the fat. Fat is money in the bank...a rainy day fund if you
will. muscle is like a V8 that guzzles calories even when not in use. For
the sake of efficiency, your body will try to dump the inefficient muscle if
it thinks it's not needed.

When I'm cutting, I do at least one re-feed day in the week just to reassure
my metabolism that we're not going to starve. The metabolism is extremely
complex and almost has a mind of it's own, with it's purpose to maintain
your life. Fat is a good thing to have on hand from it's perspective, so
don't put it into panic mode by starving yourself. Treat it right and it
will work with you.

I think it's a stupid thing to do, but the best program I know for this is
Lyle's PSMF (protein sparing modified fast). 1.5g protein/lb BW, veggies,
that's it. No carbs (except what's in the veggies) no fat. People have
reported pretty high weight drops in short time with not too much LBM loss.

Basically the old Stillman diet. The addition of veggies probably
alleviate some of the constipation.

Right. Forgot to say you're supposed to lift too. Check out
www.bodyrecomposition.com forums if you want the details.
