Gents:
Pursuing an upgraded LEO gig in a different state from my last one, but need to lose 40 lbs in 60 days. That and pass the PAT (which I aced a couple years ago).
Other than starve, any suggestions? I'm motivated: This is a plan A item for me with no desirable alternatives. I have discipline, so with a good plan can execute.
Recommendations?

I lost about that much weight in about that timeframe by dropping refined carbs from my diet. No bread, pasta, etc., but carbs in vegetables were fine. I lost a lot of weight and was way more energetic. Since that time (about 5 years ago) I've stuck to this way of eating and have held steady with the weight. Every so often I crave bread, but it's really not a hard thing to maintain.

Get your diet in order. Eat things that won’t spike your blood sugar. You’ll have to be at a calorie deficit. Weight train large muscle groups to keep your basal metabolic rate up.

protein and water . If I go on a 90% protein ( fish , beef, chicken ETC) diet and some milk , I loose weight the fastest.

Keto and intermittent fasting. Do cardio in the morning before you eat. Nothing crazy, just walking is fine. If you stick to the diet and IM fasting (no cheat days, none) you will lose the weight.

ha Start intermittent fasting. Keto. or very low carb. No fruits ( some berries ok), no breads, no pasta, no sugars. drink only water NO ALCOHOL greens and protein Get some electrolytes to mix in water to avoid Keto flu do HIT training. I did the same before going to the academy. Actually gained strength lost 45 lbs and body fat around 4 per cent. It sucked but doable get a lot of sleep

Eat for performance not for taste. Keto diet possibly. Military used to do a cabbage soup for recruits that couldn't make weight? I don't recall how to make it but its all you ate. Exercise, do more cardio than weights.

High protein, low carbs. Water, vitamin and protein supplements and exercise….a lot of exercise. 40 pounds is a lot to lose in 2 months. In people that lose that much in a short period it’s usually because they had gastric surgery. I’m certainly not suggesting gastric surgery 😁 but emulating their diet would do the same. There are plenty of gastric surgical websites that you can access menus and diet recommendations. Exercise will be crucial too.
I’m sure you’ll do great and I wish you the best of luck. 👍

6 pack abs made in the kitchen, not the gym. 500-600 calorie deficit a day. Easily attainable by one meal a day and heavy weights 3 days per week and hard cardio (not walking) 2 days per week.
I don't know where you start, but that's a big goal.

Calorie deficit, low carbs, only drink water (easy to amass calories from liquids)
Why do you need to lose 40lbs? Bmi?

Lots of coffee, tea and water to cut hunger pains. Grapefruit.
