14 day quarantine to serve, not looking forward to it, might as well punish myself into losing holiday weight.

Recommendations for rapid fat loss for 14 days, no need for it to be sustainable.

Current idea is intermittent fasting 1400 cals per day, fasted cardio in the morning, second shorter interval session/kettlebells in the afternoon.

In theory that will be a calorie deficit of 20000 for the 2 weeks for 5.7lb of fat loss, probably a bit more with body recomposition.

Any recommendations? Considered Keto, but will struggle with the cycling/cardio volume and might take a while for ketogenesis to kick in properly, same with low carb.

Food intake will be clean, so current plan is sweet potatoes, lentils, etc for carbs, plenty of protein and veg (including broccoli+kale) and supplementing with healthy fats.

Why not just fast for 14 days and forgo all exercise? Just chain yourself to a bed and have a water drip feeder keeping you alive. Or, just eat sensibly and get back into the exercise routine for something less dramatic.

I’ve been riding/working out for the past 3 weeks in France, just considerably more bread, cheese and wine than normal.

Also want to minimise the loss of the small amount of muscle I currently have.

Also need to earn a living, and zoom meetings go a different direction when chained to a bed.
