How are you going to survive long term with so few calories?

This isn't a long-term plan; its the short term plan to get to my goal/get closer to my goal. It's extreme, I understand, relative to a normal state. Once I reach my target weight goal, which for me over my life and frame has always been 200ish (205-215) lbs on my super broad 5'10" frame. Once I get down to that weight, I will go back to the same diet under which I wasn't losing any weight previously, two meals a day 1500-2000 calories a day.

Update on mounjaro OMAD diet: I am down 36lbs in 3 weeks but suffering side effects from the meds (nausea/constipation) fairly strong, AC1/blood sugar best ever. Saw a Dr today re: side effects, who said she regularly treats people with those same side effects (constipation) from GLP-1.

Edit: I feel amazing: It's like the Mounjaro filled in a missing piece from my processing of energy in my personal Krebs' cycle. I don't know if its the extra thyroid effect or the GIP or what but its like the way people taking an SSRI describe the effect: I am suddenly not delaying doing things I was previously dragging my feet on, my cold nature doesn't seem to be affecting me as much. It's incredible.

36 pounds in 3 weeks feels dangerous and I'm not even sure how that's possible. I lost 50 over 6 months and that felt extreme to me.

And make no mistake I am aware of body dysmprohia. Definitely not that. I think I was holding a lot more fat than I realized as I'm still skinny fit. Difference with the last 10 is I'm not rushing towards that goal - just something I'm aiming for long term. It may change if I feel it's not attainable.

Depending on size you can lose 10-20 lbs in water weight in the first two weeks when you start a diet. Anyone who's ever done a boxer cut knows you can lose 15 lbs in one day if you understand how the body works and use it to its extreme. 36 lbs in 3 weeks is barely within what I'd say would be okay. If you hit 12 lbs the next week, I'd see a doctor to make sure you aren't inadvertently poisoning yourself.

You need to build the habits that keep you at your goal, not just get to it.

12 lbs a week is a 6000 calorie daily deficit, which is wild.

It's actually a 42,000 calorie deficit (fat is 3500 calories per pound) and it's functionally impossible, even if you ate absolutely nothing you'd only lose about ~7-8 pounds a week and that has been proven by fat guys who go on 9-12 month fasts literally eating nothing for months and their weight loss follows a predictable pattern. (I see now you meant 6000 calories per day, sorry, it's early. 6000 x 7 days = 42000 calories/week deficit.)

30+ pounds in 3 weeks is certainly losing water weight or de-bloating or he had 20 pounds of impacted shit in his colon that has cleared out of something, it's not possible to lose actual weight that fast even if you are starving.

yeah, adding support for like 20lbs of water. stuff a fat guy on hard keto and he'll lose 20lbs the first week or two.

This guy fasted for 55 days and lost 44 lbs. And he was severely overweight to begin with. 36 in 3 weeks seems like something is wrong.
