Starved before, want to starve again!
Ahh, I see. Thank you for the feedback. Your analogy and the link helped open my eyes to where my priorities should lie.

So there's no way, huh? I guess I'll have to wait until second semester (this is my senior year) before losing weight because I simply don't have time/energy for a healthy diet or cardio. Do you think it would be okay to have only two out of the three components of fitness? No cardio? I'm horrible at any sort of cardio and my legs cramp up almost instantly. I've got a very nice upper body build (big shoulders/traps/back and thick arms) but I skip leg day and am usually the last person to cross the finish line during PE.

Goal
To lose a large (20lb) amount of weight in a very short time while still maintaining muscle throughout the process. No cardio.

History
I used to be really fat throughout my early childhood until one day I decided I was sick of the extra weight and everything bad that came with it. Throughout one summer vacation I pretty much starved myself (one peanut butter sandwich a day and lots of water) and lost 24+ pounds in under two months. Other than a day's required walking, I was sedentary. Sure it was hard, but I felt great by the end of it and didn't really experience anything that felt unhealthy (no significant muscle loss).

Present
Momentum carried me on to some heavy fitness which was mainly working out/resistance training. I've gained a lot of muscle but also a lot of fat. I've tried 'cutting', but realized that the two things I'm horrible at are dieting and running/cardio. Starving myself (limiting myself to cups of whey protein and peanut butter) has been on my mind lately but I feel I should ask around and see what I'm getting myself into.

Am I shortening my lifespan?
Even with daily workouts will my body eat my muscle in revenge?
I heard about intermittent fasting but it claims to be for those on the "trimmer" end of the spectrum, which I can guarantee you I'm not. Should I still do it?
What would you recommend that could be better?

Thank you for reading!
