I lost 37.2 lbs (16.9 kg) in 3 months on 0.5 from day one. The majority of the weight I lost during the first two months. 20.2 lbs during the 1st month, 10.8 lbs during the 2nd month, 6.2 lbs during the third month.

At your age, height, with the already relatively low bodyfat you started at, and losing 1.41 kg on avg is... damn. This does possibly include water and some muscle loss, but still.

Did you do PSMF or any other particular diet?

I just counted calories and other nutrients using a digital scale and an app. I made sure to eat 1200 calories or less. I added supplements and eventually after my first month protein drinks etc as I was afraid of muscle loss too. I didn’t work out and I am not really active.

😬😬😬 1200 calories is way too little for a 5’10” male. Sema shouldn’t be used as a vehicle for disordered eating.

I'd starve on only 1200. (F 73, 5.3, 132-135 lbs.) I stay slightly higher due to my age it looks better. But eat between 1500-2000 c daily to maintain. Focus on protein and whole foods. You look great, just 1200c seems so low for 5.10 male.

Sounds right, I am eating now a bit more because I don’t want to lose more weight.

Eat a lot more and start lifting some weights.
