Can I cut 25 lbs in 7 1/2 weeks?

This seems to be an old thread but why on earth would anybody try to cut that amount of weight for their first grappling tournament?

Did you drastically change your diet as well? I just have a bit of trouble believeing some one lost 40 pounds on greens and fiber alone.
 
That could effect your performance dropping that much weight that fast?

i dunno, i always seem sluggish after a heavy weight loss in that time
 
it should be doable, just dont try to cut 10lbs the day before in the sauna, you will be gassed before you even start the match. If you really want to diet properly, you'll have no prob.
 
If you lift weights fairly heavy the whole time you are loosing this weight you should be able to cut fat with out loosing muscle. The strength loss should not be a problem. I lost at one point in my life 50Lbs in 5 months while adding 25Lbs to my bench press.
