startin cuttin in two weeks. will this work?

[awnyerneas]

Ok Iv never cut before and Don't really want to cut down to anything below 10 % bf. I think right now im around 18%. right now I have been eating around 3000 cals a day. If I cut it down to around 2000 a day and started Hiit 3 times a week will this signifigantly reduce my bf within the next 2 months? I am 19 by the way.

 

[awnyerneas]

by the way I'd be trying to make that a really healthy 2000 cals, not just any 2000.

Depends how much you weigh.

 

[awnyerneas]

6 ft about 187.

2000 is fine then. I'm 200 and have been taking in about 2200 calories and losing a pound a week.

I would not cut from 3000 to 2000 immediately. That's a great way to lose muscle. Slow and steady, while keeping protein intake high

 

[awnyerneas]

good call, About how slow? any suggestions? thanks.

 

[BOOEY]

It all depends on your metabolism, but a cut of 1000 calories immediately will cause some problems. I usually cut 250/day the first week, 250 more (so 500 from initial total) the second week, and by the third week I feel my body is well prepared to go into a deficit. Mine is around ~2200cals.

If you are trying to lose only fat, forget HIIT!
