Funny term for sprint-type work really.

Ahhhh right, just started this past weekend to do sprints and bleacher on weekends (non training days)

Read the faq and search some threads in the conditioning forum.

Your workouts do not seem to be intense enough to rev up your ****bolism or to burn enough calories to help you lose the weight.

Like I said - up the protein, drop all sugars and any starchy carbs, even fruit. Eat more veggies instead (a whole pound of broccoli or spinach only has like around 100 calories, and you burn most if not all of that just digesting it).

10 lbs in six weeks is very easy, believe me. I have about 25 lbs in 10 weeks

I don't know about one from Ian, but there's The Weight Cutting Thread linked in the FAQ in this forum

Lean Mass Gain + Fat Loss = Carb Cycling

Plus a lot of sprints as mentioned above.

If I could create a spreadsheet that good I would too.

The Rapid Fat Loss Handbook by Lyle McDonald | BodyRecomposition - The Home of Lyle McDonald

By Lyle McDonald, one of the most respected nutritionists out there. The 'diet' is (and he sums it up this way as well) just a modified PSMF (protein sparing modified fast). The diet is hell while on it, and don't expect any successful training while on it, but it does lose the fat quick as hell while sparing muscle. I did this for 4 days and lost almost two pounds (of fat). I waited for around two weeks after it was over to make sure the glycogen stores and water weight returned to normal, and sure enough, it was fat that I lost.

Now, the above way to losing it is, again, assuming not-much physical labor or training going on. You might be able to do decently, but you won't be able to be as intense as usual. So, this diet might not be exactly right for you right now. But yeah, it's basically the lazy man's way to fat loss. I experimented with it and got good results. Will this be how I lose any weight in the future? Maybe, maybe not. 500 calories less a day is MUCH better for weight loss IMO. It allows you the same level of training, and it doesn't mentally or physically wear you out. But...it also takes longer. I guess it's up to the individual as to which is preferable.

Not to mention how good those two veggies are for your body anyway.

Note: Spinach leaves a gritty coat on your teeth when you eat a lot of it.
