Been doing a mix of cardio and kettlebells/calisthenics. Weight ain’t coming off like it used too when I just did cardio. I hope it’s a sign of gaining some muscle. Still got a few diet tweeks I need to make, but progress none the less.

If we are being reality…….If you are in a deficit it ain’t muscle.

Not sure how big you were but try not to over-starve yourself. You'll burn out.

21 lbs in 6 weeks is like 3.5lbs a week. If you weren't like 350lbs at the start I'd say that may be too aggressive. The goal is to lose the weight and maintain/keep it off.

Yea the advice I've heard is no more than 2lbs or 1% of your body weight a week in terms of weight loss. You don't wanna crash and burn early.
Kind of depends. It could work now just fine but there should be plan to adjust when it eventually slows down.

That’s one reason I hate when people just throw out IF as the immediate cure all.

On that get huge and lean meal plan. Around 350 grams of protein a day, and 100 carbs a day, 150 carbs on leg days. 5 meals, two protein shakes, one post work out, and one before bed. 5 day lifting, 6 days cardio.
350 grams of protein a day? What’s your caloric intake and how much do you weigh? That sounds insane.
