RE: I'm aiming to lose 72 lbs in 72 days, who thinks I can't do it?

I am not a doctor, but as the other guy said down there, you are not fat enough to lose this much weight this fast, your body will be starving and when bodies starve they do really nasty stuff, like cannibalizing muscle tissue for example.

If you really want to try it, i strongly suggest you talk to an ACTUAL doctor so he can explain you why it's a bad idea thanks to his 10+ years of very expensive and extensive education.

I get it, being fat sucks, i'm even fatter than you, i want to lose weight as much as you do, but don't bloody kill yourself to fit into smaller clothes.

    Thanks for concern Mr. Hat is it? :)
    I don't starve, I eat very well, I won't be losing any strength or muscle, if so then that is my body tellling me when.
    Everybody is their own best doctor, if I run into complications medical assistance is not far away. People who love me are keeping a close eye on me.
    I'm doing this as an experiment in self control, not to fit into smaller clothes.

    Blain, to lose weight you'll have to be technically starving.....to lose that much weight you WILL be starving. 1kg = 2,5lbs or thereabouts, 1kg = more or less 7000 calories. You're talking about running a negative 2500 calories a day diet. To achieve that, you either don't eat, or you eat so little and exercise so much that it would be considered a war crime.

    I'm not a doctor but i've worked for a couple months in a hospital....i've seen people trying to do what you're planning that ended up in the ICU. Talk to a dietician.

    I'm not your mother, your father or brother, i'm just someone with empathy and common sense that doesn't like people harming themselves.

    You are correct, I'm running a caloric deficit but I do eat, quite well actually, and I don't exercise. :)
    I could go to the lab and get scans or blood tests to ease everybodies fears and shock them at the same time I guess. Which ones would satiate your concern?

    You eat "quite well", don't exercise and run a deficit.

    I'm sorry...one of these is not true. Which one is it?
