Lose 7% Body Fat in less than 40 days???

Yes, it can be done according to Ron Brown.

Fairly recently, I read an article on http://www.bodyfatguide.com that
talks about an Advanced Fat Loss Program. It says that you can lose 1%
body fat in only 3 days. The article states that to prevent muscle
loss, you have to eat at least 33% of your daily energy output in Kcal.
The exercise recommended is only brisk walking for 1.5 to 2 hours a day
at 3.5 to 4.0 MPH. As far as diet composition goes, he recommends
sticking to whole natural foods.

Well, I'm going to do it. I'm currently at 14% fat. My goal is to get
to 7% body fat or so. Underfat is at 5% or below, so 7% is still above
that. Following what the article recommended, I plan to lose 1% body
fat every three days with 2 day breaks at maintenance in between each
1% reduction; This translates to about 1/2 inch reduction in the
waistline over three days. The projected time to goal is about 40 days
or so.

For exercise, I plan to briskly walk for at least 1 1/2 hours at an
average of 4 MPH with some inclines. Something I might wanna do as well
is a whole body workout with weights on one of the days off from fat
loss. I plan to eat 300 Kcal above maintenance on those days to
maintain muscle mass.

During this advanced program, my daily Kcal intake will hover at about
1,300 per day, or >=20-33% of total daily energy (Kcal) output, in
order to create a negative energy balance for fat loss. I will eat at
maintenance Kcal levels on breaks in between except when weight
lifting.

My diet method will involve keeping sugar and other simple carbs low
for fat loss. I will focus mainly on vegetables, low glycemic fruits.
Complex carbs like whole grains are also recommended in moderation in
order to slowly release glucose into your blood. I plan to take in at
least 1g of protein per kg of bodyweight. Some of this can be done
using Whey Protein powder.

Calorie Distribution for the program:

Breakfast: Meal Replacement Bar (210-290 Kcal)
Mid-Day Meal: 250 Kcal
Late Afternoon Meal: 250 Kcal
Dinner: 500 Kcal
96 oz. of water per day

To help me in my journey, I plan to supplement with the following
things to aid in fat loss:

To prevent muscle loss, I will take 5,000mg of Glutamine right after
waking up, 15,000mg of Glutamine right after exercise, and 5,000mg of
Glutamine before bed. Also, I may supplement with 40g of Whey Protein
2xday with meals at times particularly when weight lifting. To keep my
muscles tuned, I will take 5-10g or Creatine after exercise. Glutamine
increases muscle glycogen stores. It helps keep muscle mass maintained
during a Kcal-restricted diet.

For Growth Hormone And Testosterone support, I will take 50mg of Zinc,
100mg of Vitamin B6, and 1/3 TSP of Magnesium Glycinate (150mg
Elemental Magnesium). All of these will be taken together right before
bed.

To dispose glucose from my blood right before exercise in order to burn
fat during the exercise, I may take 6g Taurine right before the workout
along with 1,000mcg of Chromium Picolinate. These are insulin mimickers
and gets glucose out of your blood and into your cells so your body
will draw on fat stores more readily.

To suppress appetite, I will drink 16 oz. of Yerba Mate tea as needed.
Yerba Mate is an appetite reducer, thermogenic, and metabolic booster.
For extra energy/alertness/motivation, I will take in 3g of L-Tyrosine
w/ P5P on empty stomach.

On the whole, when this program is over and I get to goal, I will
simply eat at maintenance level Calories thereafter then to maintain my
new body fat %.

Anyway, what do you think of a plan like this? Would you ever try it if
you wanted to reduce fat quickly? Do you think it compares well to a
Ketogenic diet or something?

The body fat guide article that outlines principles of this plan can be
found here: http://www.bodyfatguide.com/AcceleratedFatLoss.html

Run the numbers.

Suppose a 200# man is 14% BF; that's 28# fat.
Drop to 13%; that's 26 lbs, a loss of 2#.
You want this in three days, thus, 2 # fat loss in 3 days.
Do that for 7 days. 4 1/3 # fat.
At 3600 cals/lb fat, you'd have to eat absolutely nothing for 7 days, and
jog about 50 miles on the 7th day.
More-or-less.
Sounds like a plan.

Virtually every supplemental suggestion is bizarre.
B6, in as little as 25 mg doses, can cause peripheral neuropathy.
Glutamine is a key mediator in the biochemical "cell death" response.
Excessive zinc is now thought to have long-term toxicity.
Chromium picolinate is garbage, because picolinate is bogus, and likely
toxic. Cr Nicotinate is the preferred form. Picolinate is an
unmetabolizable isomer of nicotinate, unrecognized by the intended enzymes.
And, you don't burn fat *during* exercise.
Creatine can't be eliminated from the bloodstream, beyond 1% a day. You're
headed for what is likely a huge overload.

But I guess, iffin yer going to get it wrong, you might as well get it all
wrong.
Sounds like a plan.
