As someone who lost 50lbs within 3 months this is possible, but not healthy. I was overweight when I was 18, so in some ways I had an advantage to lose the weight really fast since I had more energy and internal bone structure is still pretty good.

First off, I FUCKING love food. I like the taste of good food, not like heavy pastas or big burgers, I mean stuff that's pretty nutrient dense but high in calories, like chia seed pudding, guacamole, wheat pasta salads, lots of fruits like mangos and bananas. Yeah they're healthy sorta. But they're also high in calories and sodium/sugar.

For me at least, it's all or nothing. I'm so bad with self-control. I can't do moderation. Like ok, out of one day of the week I'll have a cheat day. Later I'm self-indugling day after day saying okay, THIS is my official cheat day. So instead of putting me thru a never-ending cycle, I was just like fuck it, no more indulging. It requires less self control for me.

I ate three cups of yogurt everyday. But I would indulge into really good yogurts (Chobani makes some really good ones!) Sometimes I had a Coke Zero, that was zero calories. I did pure cardio, keeping my heart rate range from 170 to 190. It was only probably only that high because I was so out of shape. Did at least 6 hours per week, but would cut it up so it would be easier for me. I would do 2 two-hour days and then 2 one-hour days. I would take a short break every 15 mins.

I lost the weight, but I had no energy. I depended on black coffee (like 5 or 10 calories depending how much I drank).

I had really bad anxiety from that and I used weed to mellow myself out. Became someone what of chronic.... Also started smoking American Spirits cigs to keep me from eating.

I don't understand how I am not dead yet but at least I lost the weight earlier than later.
