Need help losing 60 pounds

Trogdor · 06-12-2008, 05:07 AM

Well,where can I start.
Due to a injury during wrestling (highschool) I was unable to walk for a pretty long time and gained weight like crazy because I got depressed.
I am fully recovered from injury and acctually have a tournament coming up.
The problem is I am currently over the weight limit.
I gained about 80 extra pounds during my recovery period (ye I know,amazing?)
What Can i do to get back in shape (need to lose about 60 fat pound) in about 1month. I am fully dedicated and I am willing to go to extremes (even full starvation altho not recommended)
Please advise.

I would recommend you wait till another tournament.

60 pounds of fat in a month is awfully unhealthy and even if you did manage it, you would look/feel terrible. I'm 90% sure you would injure yourself again too, either in the preparation to the tournament or in the tournament itself.

Take your time mate, go slow and steady.

if u loose 60lbs in a month ur most likely to loose alot of muscle with it.

yeh, agree with above 2 posts.

if i were you, i'd put weight-loss as a priority, but slowly to not lose ANY MORE muscle.

i know what it's like bro... what is your current diet and exercises roughly like?

60 in a month, that would be two lbs a day. there is no healthy way about it, you could get it sucked out and a tummy tuck. you should sit out of touraments for some time to either lose the fat or move up a weight class.

Yea,I decided not to do the tournament.
Either way I need to lose weight.
Can anyone help me set up a plan or something to lose the weight in 2-3 months. The next tournament that I am able to participate in is august 23rd.

multiply your weight by the following to find out your macronutrients
.2 - .3g fat
1-2g carb
1.5-1.8g protein
after you figure that out you have to set up your meals to get those macro nutrients in. you're going to aim at 6-8meals a day. 1-2gallons of water a day.
Carbs should be split up as follows
25% morning
20% pre workout
25% post workout
30% spread throughout the day
You need to invest some time in Cardio. HIIT 2x a week, and LI 1-3x a week. if theres anything i left out lemme know.
