Hey brehs, what is the best way to lose 2 to 3 pounds quickly and healthy ? 2 to 3 pounds is the only thing that is holding me up from my enlistment process for the military.
Intermittent fasting plus exercise.
Fast for a full day. Drink only water. Stop eating in the evening on one day. Skip an entire day. Do cardio-type workout instead of weight lifting. Start eating the next morning when you get up. This equates to about 36 hours of fasting when you figure in the evening hours of the day before and the morning hours of the day after. Most of it is water weight, so you may need to do this for a couple of weeks. Watch your diet, don't over eat when coming off your fast, and don't overeat in general.

Only a fool would cut weights and do strictly cardio.

Cut all carbs and do moderate to intense cardio..........................
This.

Basically a 7-10 days before and on the date go on the keto diet and/or intermittent fasting, consume 3-4 litres of water a day, keep net carbs minus the fibre from the carbs obviously as that isn't as digestible to under 50-75g a day even less if you can handle it, do steady state easy cardio for 45-80 mins a day to deplete your glycogen stores which will help shed your body's water weight and easily burn fat for fuel. On this diet make sure you replace the carbs in calories with more healthy fats and protein. 10 days isn't much and you'll most likely drop between 6-10lbs in water weight doing this. Once you finish the test for the military you can go back to eating normal.

Note: The keto diet isn't really sustainable for longer than a few months as it makes it harder to meet your macros. it's just a tool so don't go overboard with it and end up busting your ass because it's just water weight not all actually fat loss.

Good luck, breh. I myself am trying to get into the Air Force.

One thing I've been told is that people train months on end to get fit but neglect practicing the aptitude tests so dedicate an hour a day to that as well as practicing 30 minutes to the interview questions they'll ask you because it REALLY matters. They turn away nutters and people who forget to practice the test frequently

What I meant was do cardio on the day you are fasting. Weight lift as usual on the days you aren't fasting.
:comeon::patrice:That isn't necessary, all you have to do is leave 2-4 hours between weight lifting and doing cardio that's longer than 10 minutes to gain your stamina back. Athletes literally do this 4-5 times a week especially football (soccer for u yanks:mjlol:) players.

Pro athletes run/jog at a moderate intensity twice a day AND lift weights all within about 6 hours of each other, it's really all mental.

Also intermittent fasting is a better option than not eating at all:mjlol::francis:. you are just eating within a window is all you're still getting your calories and macros in.

I would just eat around 2000 calories and do any style of cardio to burn about 400 calories a day miced with your weight lifting on those days and there's no way you couldn't meet your target
