How long, on average, would it take to drop down to 10%bf, from ~14%bf?

This is assuming clean diet, adequate rest, 3 day lifting a week, 5 days of cardio a week, etc.

I know it's individual, but there should be some time frame.

I dropped 3-5%(caliper margin of error is 2% give or take) from 13-15% to 9.5% in 4 months of dieting w/ minor cardio. Just cut off 99% of carbs with the exception of egg carbs 5-7 hours prior to bed,it takes time but definitely works! Good Luck!

3-5 months if you do it properly, it's no small loss

blinkwatt, where are the carbs in eggs?

really? some once told me you could safley lose .5% of bodyfat a week

There ways of losing fat very fast but a lot of muslce will be lost in the process and its basically saying that you don't have the patience to do it right.

Each whole egg has less then 1 gram off carbs according to the nutrition facts on the carton.

Yeah, less than 1g...which is trace carbs, which is next to nothing..could be 0.025g for all we know You're always gonna get a very small amount of carbohydrate in chicken etc, because there was probably some in the animal when if was slaughtered...and perhaps other reasons.

How I lost fat for a while (I was never fat, never got above 130lbs, but I still have the early-teen flab) was like this:

- ate at maintenance calories or slightly below
- cut off carbs 5-6hrs before bed.
- went on a few long walks per day.

I only did this because it was summer, hot, and I didn't have much appetite for some reason. I got cut like this, probably lost a lot of muscle (not that I had any anyway tho) as well. I'm not sure what I was doing was particularly healthy (calorie restriction for a reasonably long period), but I couldn't be bothered eating much.

Since I know you train, if I was you, I *wouldn't* restrict calories. You know how it's done, search for the posts by EFFORT and WBA .

How much do you weigh? The more muscle you have the faster you can lower it.

Well, (this is aprox) 1g of carb = 4 calories
You can burn that by laying on the couch flicking the remote control.
