Possible, but expect some of you lost weight to be muscle. Be careful about low fat when trying to lose weight. What most products remove in fat is just replaced with carbs. And heathy fats are very good when trying to burn fat. Just something to think about.

Sure... if you want to be another skat person (skinny fat) because a lot of the weight loss is going to be muscle. This is an extreme amount of weight to lose in such a short amount of time... at least in a healthy way. Why the need to lose... 215 at 6'3" is a damn good size if you have muscle to back it up.

25lbs in 44 days is alot of weight to lose.
Losing two pounds a week is extremely impressive. I'm sure it is possible but you may get sick and be starving for calories. Also losing weight this fast can be very hard on your heart which will weaken your immune system. But good luck anyways

oi, I know how ya feel man. I can see my top ripple of my abs, yet I can still grab a handful of fat on the lower part of my gut. The rest of my body is primarily lean like the top ripple of my abs. It's very annoying, eh.

First of all, how do you know that you are losing 2 pounds of FAT per week? How do you know that it is not muscle tissue and water as well as fat? Usually, rapid weight loss is not indicative of FAT loss, rather water and muscle tissue in combination with some fat.

Unless you go for expensive testing, it's impossible to know whether you are losing fat, muscle, water, etc...
How about give yourself 6 months to lose that weight. I realize you probably want the weight gone for some occasion, but if you want to continue on the weight-loss/weight-gain rollercoaster, give yourself more time. Did it take you 44 days to gains that weight?

Yeah, i know the feeling man... I'm 5'8" and around 175lbs... the 'ideal' weight for a guy my height/age is supposed to be 154lbs, but i can tell you right now i would be skin and bones if i weighed 154. At 6'3" i'm not sure what your 'ideal' weight would be, but i can tell you, the hardest part to get rid of is that extra flab around the gut/lovehandles/back... and yes, i do agree that it's embarrasing to go to the beach and take off your shirt when you have this fat sticking out over the top of your waistband... if i have no clothes on it's almost like the 'spare tire' goes away, but as soon as i put on pants, it's back again, sticking out in weird places... the worst part is that, like you, i'm in really good shape otherwise. my chest/arms are totally fine, but the gut just won't go away, no matter how friggin hard i try... good luck to you.
