Is 8 weeks of cutting long enough to see results? #diet #weightloss #bodybuilding #fitness

I weight 105kg and about 35% body fat. What is the ideal body fat percentage before starting weight lifting. I only do Cardio now and am losing weight fast. Should i wait till i am around 20% or start lifting now. Thanks.

I like going for 1 Kg fat loss per week. I'm going to go for that and I have 8 kg of fat to lose from 20 percent to 10 percent body fat. I am going to be able to shred in 8 weeks.

Personally, i find slow and steady diets dont work for me. I once dieted for 8 months straight, losing about 0.5-1lb per week after the intial 2 week water drop at the start. Ill always be stocky because i love food, dont drink or smoke so thats my crutch. A drastic cut of the lowest amount of calories i can sleep on ill do it. I once did 500 calories for 5 weeks sometimes uping it to 1200 just so i could sleep. The weight creeps back on over a year or two. Always getting heavier than where i was at the start. Slow and steady or fast doesn't make a difference, but suffering for 8 months to reach a desired weight suffering for that long mentally burns you out. In and out like a one night stand when it comes to diets.

8 weeks is not too short if you want to lose 1kg of fat.

But I think ppl can lose more than 0.5kg in a week
