It's a good plan and I'm glad to see people are shifting away from the marketing that has been shoved down our throats.

It depends on your goals, if you are mainly interested in only losing weight and getting fit, then yes that's a good plan (as good as any). However don't expect to build muscle and get strong without adequate lifting.
Thanks
I would like to build muscle but I will break it down in 2 phases. Phase 1 fat loss/fitness then phase 2 build muscle.
Back to work again, went all out on the holiday food and 5 cases of beer, didn't gain any weight at all, exercise I got was from running around and carrying a 3yr old boy.
Got a mooi tan though.
Monday - Bench press day so it's gonna hurt come tuesday.
New diet is now in effect, meat and veg only with a couple potatoes and basmati rice thrown in, I reckon I was 2 months short of achieving a full on six pack.
Theres nothing worse than that little pinch of belly fat to spoil your look.

Was just a thought. I actually don't eat before gym. Just a preworkout. Gives me a headstart on my overall daily calorie intake.

Son enjoy your heavy benchpress while you can because if you see this cut through you'll be benching hmmm what did you start on again

A fat guy with a big benchpress is like a fat chick with big titties. Nobody cares.

Lol no man, just eat properly and work out consistently and you'll get where you want to be. This diet cycling business is not necessary if you aren't a pro bber. You have to be patient, good bodies don't happen overnight.
now you're just turning me on
you guys think it's possible to drop 1kg per week?
edit: being quite lean already, it's probably not possible. anyway im on a mission to see how much weight I can lose until the 29th of January. Weighted myself @ 82.5kg on January the 2nd.

I think you should be able to. There is a show on Discovery called Naked and Afraid where the people give life in the bush for 21 days. Some of them lose over 7KGs in the 3 weeks.

Thats muscle loss as well I would imagine. Nobody on here wants to lose muscle

Quite possible to lose 1kg per week of pure fat while still retaining and adding lean mass. Your diet and training will have to be spot on though.
Got my before pic on the 1st of Jan. EliteOP inspired me to see what I can do in 12 weeks, so will post up my after on the 1st of April.
Happy lifting to all for 2014.

Happy lifting to all for 2014.
I was 6ft 91kg. I was reasonably lean, benching sets of 85 and bicep curls with 40-45kg max. I did about 2 months of very strict diet and got down to 79.95kg. I couldn't believe my eyes. Every day I stood on the scale, it just kept dropping. Eventually I was so impressed with my progress that I stopped craving bad food altogether. I had a McFlurry at Christmas and have lost the plot in recent weeks, but I haven't had McDonalds in over 6 months. Now I'm back on track for 2014 and have only gained about 1.5 kg over Xmas.
So yes. It is very possible. I did lots of bench press, pullups and cardio whilst on diet to try and maintain my strength, which I did. So now I can bench in excess of my body weight for the first time ever and do sets of weighted wide-grip pullups. Very happy.
Good luck. In my experience, absolutely no compromise in diet is key to losing fat quickly, and having a deadline is the key to stay motivated. I never want to weigh 90 again. Ever.

Also depends if your goal is to sustain that weight loss
You can do wild water loss routines like boxers and fighters use for weigh-ins. I once read a book called "Bigger, smaller, bigger", sort of a journal by a guy who gains about 9kg mass in a month, took about the same amount off in FIVE DAYS, regained it the next day.
