That seems unhealthy. Why not do it at a slower pace.

How are you planning to do that? To loose a pound of body fat, you’ll need a caloric deficit of over 3,000kcal. So more than 60,000kcal in 3 weeks. That’s 3,000kcal a day - not very plausible.

Unfortunately eating 1,000kcal a day more is easy. 1,000kcal less is really hard.

Aiming for 1lb a week is a reasonable target with a caloric deficit of about 500 a day. Best of luck reaching your goals.

Right there with you EY! We almost need to start a support group.

I mean depending on OP’s size and actual goals, 20 lbs could be as easy as a carb drop and severe calorie deficit for 10-20 days. Once the carbs are out, glycogen stores drop and OP could easily drop 5-8 lbs or just water weight. Another 12-15 lbs in a couple of weeks is just a matter of how much muscle OP is willing to lose and how much OP hates OP’s him/herself.
