Hey guys I'm new to the weight-loss journey and just trying to figure out what is a reasonable amount to set my weight loss goal at. For reference, I weight 180, and 6 feet tall, and am trying to get to 150.
Anyway, this guy I follow says he lost 44 pounds in 4 weeks. https://www.instagram.com/p/ChC4kGaAzxl/?hl=en
How is this even possible? That means he lost 11 pounds a week, or 1.57 pounds a day. If we assume more than 2/3 of that is water weight and muscle, that's still 0.5 pounds of fat a day, which is a calorie deficit of around 1800 calories per day.
From what I've been reading it's normally good to try to aim for a calorie deficit of 500 calories per day. Am I understanding weight loss wrong? Is there more to just a calorie deficit?
