How Long Will This Take To Do??????????????

Question

I am 5'8 and 148. I am 18 in HS & looking to lose the rest of the fat on my body, which obviously isn't too much. I am also looking to lift weights too, because I am really not very strong (average to just a little below avg strength prob). I have just a little fat around my chest, lower stomach & inner thigh, but it is minimal.

I plan on running 5 days a week, about a mile each, and going on a diet of almost no junk food, fat, and as few carbs as possible. I also plan on curling, benching, and squatting every other day.

If I do this, how long will it take to lose all the fat that I have????

Answer 1

If you lose all the fat you have, you will die. You need at least 2-3% body fat to be able to survive.

You didn't tell us what your body fat % is, but it's probably 15%. that would require you to lose about 10 pounds to get to an extra-skinny weight. 5 pounds should be enough, though.

Answer 2

If you stick with it you will lose 1-2lbs a week. Do that until your where you want to be and then maintain it. Good luck.
