Weight Loss Massive weight loss.

Just try to live a healthier lifestyle and put the scale down. It’s the only way I’ve been able to get it off and keep it off. I went from 300 at my highest to like 235 right now, gym 4 days a week and playing hockey again. I didn’t look at a scale for the first 6-8 months. I was hust focusing on getting back into playing shape.

The activity has given me a ton more energy and I feel great. My girlfriend followed along too and is back to the size she was when we met. I still cheat on my diet a bit but when you’re active, it’s hard to spend time in the gym then eat like shit without feeling extra guilty.
 
I can drop 30lbs in 2 weeks of fasting. I fast a couple times a year for 2 weeks. I've been as high as 270lbs and it freaked me out because I had no idea I was that heavy. I thought I was 220lbs. I immediately fasted it off. That's how I'm now able to maintain 220lbs to 230lbs at 42 and eat anything I want. I just ate a whole Maria Calender's Silk Chocolate Pie and a whole Digornio pizza and a large Baconator combo and a Deluxe Box with 2 burrito supreme from Taco Bell.. Thats what I ate yesterday

I'm about to eat a pound of cheese on ablock and summer sausage to start the day
 
Why on earth would you be aiming to lose up to 40lb in a month?

Crash dieting like that will mean losing a LOT of muscle along with the fat. I really don't see it happening without some... less than legal supplementation and even then, it's unlikely.

You haven't told us your age, height, body fat percentage, fitness level, caloric consumption etc. It's hard to give advice with so little to work with.

General advice. If you are planning to crash diet, keep up your protein consumption to at least a gram per lb of lean mass. I'd also go for BCAA's to give you some additional amino's (specifically leucine) to minimise muscle loss.

My advice is to drop the crazy crash dieting plan and start making small tweaks to your life a bit at a time, cutting out junk/alcohol and exercising more — even checking places like https://skinnyfit.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html to stay informed about product experiences — which should lead to forming sustainable habits rather than binge/purge behavior.

P.S look up "The rapid Fat Loss Hand Book" by Lyle McDonald. The author is kind of a dick but from memory, the info in this ebook was fairly solid.
To lose weight effectively and safely, especially aiming for 32–40 pounds in a month (which is very aggressive), you'll need a strict low-calorie, high-protein diet, daily exercise (cardio and strength), and appetite control. Safe appetite suppressants include glucomannan, 5-HTP, and high-protein meals. Look into L-carnitine, CLA, and decaffeinated green tea extract for stimulant-free fat burners. Given your anxiety, avoid anything with caffeine or yohimbine. Focus on consistency, hydration, and sleep, and consult a healthcare provider before beginning any extreme regimen.
 
With the advice of many of you, I was able to drop 28 pounds in a month a while back. I was doing 1 hour of BJJ and 1 hour of muay Thai 5x a week. I moved out of state and have no MMA gyms near me, but may be moving to another state in a few weeks and it has many MMA gyms. My question to you guys is what is the best way to lose a massive amount of weight?

At the moment I weight around 275ish. Also what supplements would help in this en devour? An appetite suppressant is needed so what are the best appetite suppressants and I'm not sure if this is exists but a fat burner with no caffeine or anything that will mess with my heart rate or blood pressure (my anxiety gets the best of me). I appreciate all advice. Thank you.

Edit - My goal is to lose anywhere from 32 - 40 pounds in a month. Also will be following a strict diet, a very low calorie diet.
Loosing 40lbs in a month with a very low calorie diet is not a healthy way. You may experience hypoglycemia.

I found fasting ideal. Walk more. Take up hiking, cycling, running. Diet is king. Lift too. See what helps? What works for you. Fasting essentially is a forced cal restriction. Optimize electrolytes. No junk food.
 
That is factually incorrect. Intensity matters. That's why training methods like HIIT actually work.

Yup. Steady state is great too especially if a guy is fat AF. Like HIIT when fat isn’t ideal on joints but steady state is something that a guy can do.

HIIT is great. Love suicides, wind sprints, beep test etc.
 
There's more to it than just calories. There were a few studies that found that low-intensity movement of any kind, walking being a prime example, doesn't increase hunger. An active job where you're on feet all day doing things is another example of that kind of low-intensity movement, high NEAT basically. So you can walk 10,000 steps without your hunger skyrocketing. The same can't be said for intense exercise at the gym. There's also another benefit to walking: it doesn't interfere with muscle building. When you're building muscle or looking to retain muscle on a diet, which is universally what you should want on a diet because you're catabolic and at risk of losing mass, you don't want other exercises interfering with it. If you lift weights AND do a lot of aerobic exercise, some of your body's energy gets redirected to recovering from the aerobic exercise and you won't retain as much muscle. You can do a little bit of aerobic exercise, but not a lot. So how do you increase your calorie expenditure if you can't do a lot of running, jogging, etc? Walking. Usually the whole point of losing weight is that you want to lose fat, not muscle, and you want to be healthy and look good. You need muscle for all of that. Resistance training in of itself is another example of something that doesn't burn that many calories upfront, but gives you important benefits long term not just from a calorie perspective. and you can read more about how to calculate macros for weight loss?
Absolutely, walking and other low-intensity movement are excellent for fat loss without increasing hunger. NEAT, like walking, standing, or being active on a job, boosts calorie expenditure without interfering with muscle retention. Intense cardio can compete with recovery from resistance training, reducing muscle preservation. Resistance training itself does not burn huge calories upfront but is essential for maintaining and building muscle, which supports metabolism and body composition long term. Combining resistance training with walking or other low-intensity activity allows you to lose fat, keep muscle, and stay healthy, making it a sustainable and effective approach to weight management.
