Scientific Moob reduction

iandroid989

So here it is I’ve decided for motivation I’m turning my body into a science Project, I’m reasonably fit but definitely not happy with my over-all body looks (including Moobs) I have before pics already prepared.
I’ve started losing weight but I’m just seeking opinions tips on strategy.

Current situation after 3 weeks:
210 lb down to 204lb (22.5% body fat), 6ft tall 52 years’ young.
By my Rough Math that equates to 158 lb of “Fat Free Mass” and 45.9 lb of fat
I do 3 Full body weight training sessions a week, 3 Cardio days (Running, Tennis, Walking the Dog or a combination) and 1 day of rest. I am aiming for 160 grams of Protein per day and a 20% calorie deficit.

I would like to achieve a pure fat loss (no muscle) with a body fat% of 18%.
This would put me at 192 lb total split, 158 lb of “Fat Free Mass” and 34 lb of fat.

Is it unrealistic to assume I can lose just fat and maintain my “Fat free mass” especially the muscles?
I know this Mass is made up of Bones, Blood, Muscles and water so there will be some loss.

What are realistic targets, does my strategy seem unachievable? any thoughts tips, experience, opinions greatly appreciated.

Looks like you have this down to a science. Working those muscles tells the body you need to keep them, the cardo does help with fat loss, and the protein intake (You can do up to 1 gram per pound of body weight) helps with muscle repair. I'd say that with the calorie reduction is the perfect combination. You're all set so just stick with it.

i am also in a bit of a mooby situation. based on your post you've looked quite a bit into this, which is great to see.

i think the zero muscle loss goal is a tad unrealistic though, you would have to keep to a very small deficit which would make fat loss painfully slow. but like you said this will be hard to measure anyway just because of water weight and blood, which will decrease as your body size decreases

my tip is just to be patient and consistent. dont be too rough on yourself or you will be tempted to quit
