I thought you guys were gone for good. I almost gave up and cheated on my diet.
What activities do you do to keep your mind off food while fasting/skipping meals? Got a Haynes manual and I've been doing a full service on my motorcycle
I'm slightly concerned. I usually consume minimum necessary fat intake to avoid hormonal issues(going by 0.31g/lb goal bodyweight) but I have few days when I kept overall calories the same but ate some fatty meat instead as a treat with both larger amount of fat and all the fat in one meal instead of spread over 3. A bit more than once a week on average. And over the last few weeks, every time I did that I got massive watery diarrhea. First few times since I was grilling pork I just thought I'd undercooked it a little and got mild food poisoning, but yesterday it was a piece of slow roasted pork that had no chance of being undercooked so the pattern became obvious. Did I fuck up my ability to digest fat or something? Worried about my liver. Guess I'll start taking TUDCA after all. At least I dropped 0.8kg since yesterday, so that's nice.
>>74215320>Eating porkI think I see the issue
>>74215345mudslimes pls go and stay go
>>74215348Your shitty diarrhea is a message from God, listen and learn.
>>74215148
Just found out that alcohol-free beer is a cheat if you're craving one>only around 50 calories>usually cheaper >you'll usually only drink one since it's purely for flavour rather than getting drunk
>>74215451Water is 0 calories
>>74215507Not in America, pal.
>>74215507sure but 50 calories is alright for something that's just a treat on the weekend every now and then, you could probably burn that off with like 10 minutes of walking
>Contrary to the WHO classification of "obese", we hold the statement that you are only "overweight".>t. smartbmicalculator.comAnyone else who uses this website and knows why their classification is different?
>>74215632because it's some retarded bullshit you shouldn't be using and it doesn't matter anyway, BMI underestimates obesity
>>74215673>obese even with normal bodyweightJesus how sedentary do you have to be for this to happen?
Being fat is disgusting. Being fat is immoral.Being fat brings shame to you and everybody who cares about you.
>>74215715it's not very hard, honestlya common advice to not be considered sedentary is to do 10k steps a day, right? well I've started using a step tracker and let me tell you, if you don't have a physical job and don't do it on purpose, you're achieving maybe 2k on average if you drive everywhere, maybe up to 5k if you live in Europe and walk places as part of your daily commute/shopping. 10k steps is like two hours of straight up walking a day. Shit takes more time than going to the gym. A lot of people are>sit in your car>sit at work>maybe walk a little once a week while doing grocery shopping >sit in front of the TV or staring at your phoneand the few chores they do in between don't really add up to much, particularly if someone lives in an apartment or shares their place with roommates.
>>74215751I have 2 fairly active jobs that I walk to and from every day so I'm usually getting around 15-20k a day. I can see how it's harder in burgerland though, from what I heard basically nothing is within walking distance over there.
I am squatting only just over 1pl8 and this weekend I ran a 10k for the first time and I'm so sore it is causing me to have to deload my squats, any way around this? Quit running I guess, or just go easier? I want the weight loss to go faster and walking is so fucking time consuming
>>74215784When you shit on burgers keep in mind I'd gladly cycle to and from work if it wasn't a 25 mile drive each way lmao
Luv me NunsLuv me Duck'ate MikuNot racist. Just don't like her.
First week is done, I lost 4 pounds.
>>74215853I mean that just sounds like a you problem of not being able to afford living closer to work. There's suburbs in the sticks in Europe too, poor people live there.
>Made it down to 238 lbs on friday>Went up to 250 over the weekendGuess I'm fasting 96 hours this week instead of 72.
>>74215177Honestly, anything works as long as it requires fairly intense focus but isn't overly demanding physically. Gaming, painting minis, reading, light cleaning.
>>74215918Welcome to eating disorder territory, new recruit.
Fatty contestHimolaskihomer175.6kg
>>74215918most of the losses from multi-day but not multi-week fasting if you're doing big refeeds are water weight, for me it was 3x as much water weight lost as actual weightyou can try doing keto refeeds if you don't want the retarded rollercoaster or do anything else than fasting and binging like the addict you are
>>74215918>12lbs in two daysHOW?
>>74215905Oh it's quite the opposite, I live in the suburbs of a metro area, I just don't want to live 40 miles out from the city where they have one grocery store and a population of 5000, although I am sure it is cheaper
>>74215918this seems impossible, but I’m not a scientist
>>74215938
>Drop below 100kg(97atm)>Every kg I lose now people act like I lost 5>Meanwhile when I was a hambeast and lost 10kg in like a month people barely saw itWhat is this shit? My rogress slowed to a crawl and people praise as if I am dropping 2kg a week.Is it just that there's less of me now, so whatever I lose is comparatively more than before?NOt that I mind though, I am enjoying the compliments and attention I am suddenly getting.And to think; this isn't even my final form.I feel like 2nd stage Cell now, it's starting to look like something, but I aint there yet.
How do motivation
>>74215987I lost 12kg in the past 6 weeks and people I live with haven't even noticed I was dieting. It is what it is. Keep in mind that, assuming you have 60kg lean body mass, when you're like 150kg and lose 2kg you lose 1/45 of your bodyfat, but when you're 97kg and you lose 1kg you lose 1/27 of body or almost twice as much despite only losing half the weight. It's not about the percentage of your absolute weight you're losing, but the percentage of your extra fat you're losing.
>>74215994discipline instead
>>742159872 kg per week is fast
>>74215987What is your height?
Fatty contest Blueberries 205 lb
>>74215951>238 in the morning saturday before drinking any water or eating anything>saturday eat 2 bowls of cereal and some chicken wraps, each bowl of cereal was probably more than one serving, water weight probably recovered.>on sunday eat a pizza, between 400 and 500 calories a slice, idk >monday cook hamburger slidersSo the 238 was my lowest weight saturday and the 250 was my highest weight monday. Bad choices all around.
>>74215987Probably the first few kgs were just water weight, I didn't notice any physical differences until at least a month in or so
>>74216080what does water weight mean? do fat people just hold on to more water?
>>74216053this is why fastingfags will never make it, just do a 500cal deficit or something bro
>mom thinks I'm working out too muchwhy do they do this bros
>>74216087Pretty much yeah. Being sedentary and having a shit diet makes you hold onto more so it tends to be the first thing to go when you make some lifestyle changes, while actual fat loss comes later.
>turkey neck is starting to shrinkWe're all going to make it after all, bros
>>74216095my mum is the same with CICO, she's always telling me to eat more
>>74215148Don't normally come here but came here to complain about this>Stay good on diet through the weekend, no treats outside of low-carb protein bars>Weigh myself this morning>Up 5 pounds since last thursdayI HATEEEEEE waterweight REEEEEEEEE
>>74216095Because they want control over you this is why no girl you bring home is ever good enough they WANT you to be a looser living at home forever playing video games because the second you walk out that door and become self sufficient they become obsolete and deep down they know it.
>>74216141Yeah well fuck that I'm going to lose the fat and become a better man as a whole
>>74216053I bet it's the sodium in the pizza and burgers. 12 pounds is a lot to gain in 2 days even with water retention
it's time summersisters. remove that sweater even if you haven't lost the fat.
Being fat fkin bad I can’t get clothes for me good always stuck between sizes. 186/95 in metric lol
>>74216194It’s still sweater temperature
>>74216090I'm hungrier at a deficit than when I eat nothing at all. Completely forbidding food works better. I was sitting at 250 for 2 months before I started fasting, and its finally dropping even if it goes up when I refeed.
>>74216205I've had this problem my entire life now I'm 210 but XL is starting to feel a little too big and L is still too tight. Fuck having love handles
>>74216150most women are like this. Their psyche is based on outside validation without it they go insane wether its cucking a submissive husband, babying a son, social media or worse pornography. same reason they put on layers of make up.
>>74216299Can tell for sure my problem with fat butt and belly with fat “waist” also bad posture
>>74216414ya'll are gay af
>>74215148I was fasting everyday for 12-14 hoursdinner at 6 pm and breakfast at 8 am. Lost 6 kilos and then I got diagnosed with heartburn and hyperacidity. Doc told me to eat every 3-4 hours. How do I compensate now?
Steak and potatoes and broccoli for dinner tonight. Try and eat red meat at least once a week, otherwise its ground turkey or crumbed chicken. Need to work on more variety of veg. I tend to only eat broccoli
>>74216511>skipping lunch is "fasting" now>how do I compensateholy shit please tell me this is bait and you are not actually that stupid
>>74216213Finally exiting sweater temp here this week, thank fuck
>>74216613No, I had lunch but the last meal of my day used to be at 6pm and breakfast at 8 am
>>74216613He doesn't skip lunch
>>74216511>>74216735is having an early dinner then doing something for a couple hours and then sleeping before having breakfast actually "fasting"
>>74216745>>74216735oh yeah, that's so stupid I didn't even consider the possibilityguess it's bait then
5'6 160 pounds short king here. I want to lose another 10 pounds while building up my inexistant muscle mass (I was retarded and didn't start lifting until now when my starting weight was 200 pounds). Should I start eating at maintenance now or keep going at a deficit?
Fatty ContestCloven333.2lbs
Will drinking bouillon cubes help with hunger/fatigue between meals?
>>74216818Stay in deficit to lose your 10lbs. Once that is complete, go to maintenance and eat there until you completely stall on the compound lifts and decide from there. You should have a decent amount of muscle mass from the newbie gains. This will take 1-2 years
-1.2lbs from yesterday
I return /fat/. It's been two years and I'll join your journey again to achieve normal mode. Let us suffer together, with that suffering we shall turn that into fuel for our ambition!>Anon With Several Scars has rejoined your party.
>notice I have a jawIt's just barely visible but man, I might have to go well past my goal weight to actually see it proper for once. Would take me another three months or soIs it worth it, /fat/?
>>74217435ZAMN it's always demotivating to see people back pedal and get fat again. I've turned fitness into my main hobby at this point and get autistic pleasure out of documenting everything like the STEMcel I am so I won't let this happen again
>>74217435183lbs?
>>74216424They are right though. Women seek to make others worse and not improve themselves, men improve themselves to become better than others instead of sabotage

>>74217549is this what you guys say to yourselves to make you feel better about being fat pos?>"w-wull atleast I am a man and trying to improve">proceeds to relapse and gain all the weight back like half the people in this thread
>>74216140This never happened to me in 2 years of dieting and close to 100 lbs lost overall. If your diet is consistent you will never see these kind of fluctuations. If you gorge on salad one day and eat pizza the next then yes, your weight will be all over the place due to water retention. If you can't bear with it then weigh yourself daily and average out the number every 2 weeks.
>>74216424Are you 15 years old

>>74217788Wish it was 9 km I'm gonna have to grind
>>74217492Working third shift was a blessing in disguise. No access to burgers and pizza for takeout when finished in the morning was probably a good contributor to weight loss.>>742174985'5''. I would look more proportionate with my weight if I was 6 inches taller.>>74217582Thanks anon. My motive the first time was to do a pull up. At the peak of my weight loss I was able to do 6. Now I aim to do ten and look good in my shirt. If all goes well I should be where I was in October.>pic somewhat related>>74217595It wasn't so bad the first six months. I was getting gains and maintaining weight. The former half of 2023 was when things outside of my control was affecting me.
>>74217843So yes, you are. Stop simping, clown. You'll get less pussy because of it, even once your balls drop.
>>74215148I want to lose 60lbs but I have to eat 1300 cals. how is that even possible? I know the obvious stuff like sweets and chips go in the trash but 1300 cals is not much to live off. google says I shouldn't eat less than 1500 as a male. but even 1500 is hard to hit. you mindlessly eat a cookie or two and you're at 1800. then a bag of popcorn and I'm at maintenance cals in...
I’m down to 210 and the upper part of my abs are visible now. If I don’t relax my stomach, I don’t look fat at all
Anyone got good chicken recipes i can make on an lpg stove and a pressure cooker without much fuss?So far I've been having shwarma for dinner without the bread.

I'm 5'11 and 278 lbs the last time I was weighed. I couldn't make heads nor tails of the stuff in the OP. I work 40~ hours a week as a night cook in a local restaurant, so I'm active 5 nights a week. What can I do to lose about 50-70 lbs?

Suppose I manage my calorie intake to allow for drinking on Friday nights while still maintaining a calorie deficit. Are there any adverse effects on weight loss due to alcohol consumption? I've heard that when alcohol is present in your system, your body prioritizes using energy from fat cells rather than from digested food.
>>74218843Your scale has the dumbs
>>74219132I still go for a few beers on the weekend, from my experience it doesn't make that much difference as long as you don't go overboard and stay within your calorie goal (personally I usually just skip lunch to compensate). Problem with being drunk is that you'll naturally crave shitty food so watch out for that as well.
>>74219453Being drunk or stoned is a nono for me. The hunger cravings are unbearable under the influence.
This thread is pretty slow recently. Did all our fatties make it?

>>74219596I don't know what happened, weight has been going doing at a really good pace (40lbs since 11th of March). I've been told I'm getting to progress beyond basic wagie at my retail job and my people skills are on point aside from women I'm attracted to. Can't tell if I was laugh crying out of joy/exultation out of the blue or if something just snapped for a little bit. My life has been pretty shitty since I split from my HS sweetheart that I'd been with for 14 year. Only since about February of this year have I felt like I need to push myself instead of drifting through life like a husk.

I've made myself fat with depression. I had some physical injuries at the height of my bulk (back when I was fit) and things spiralled out of control, several years of depression and I'm a chubby fuck. I want to get rid of this ASAP. I have 0 appetite due to meds but I'm still lazy and it's hard to get prepping decent food. I can lift and do sports and all of that is fine, even diet is/will be fine but I just don't want it to take a year to get cut down enough and start bulking again. What can I do to speed this shit up? Lipo, nah, DNP, maybe after summer? Not a stranger to it but I vowed never again... not sure what else, ozempic and that sorta crap sure but I already don't have an appetite so what's the point + sides. I go to the gym and do MMA training already, I just need to be more consistent with food but 0.5-1kg a week is still "slow". I know it's not but fuck it if I can increase it without ending with a shitton of loose skin. I am not super fat, I'm around 105 kg at 185cm
Jesus save meeee I'm so fat
>>74215148Will sucraloae/aspartame fuck you up?

is it stupid to do 5km bike and try to keep beating my time over and over as a cardio? i manged 7 minutes 3 seconds today and i feel amazing. im just trying to keep my heart healthy
>>74219514it's all pipes!
>>74219900For losing weight, absolutely not, I have lost weight easily while still drinking artificially sweetened drinks and sodas. Its still bad because a) they might be cancerous (unproven) and b) you still associate sweet stuff = good stuff, and you need to change your outlook on food long term and de-associate the need for even your drinks needing to be tasty and so on.This last part is the hardest for me unfortunately.
I just now realized how sedentary my deficit makes meI spend 99% of my free time laying in bed, this can't be healthy

>>74220225My plan is to hit goal weight minus an arbitrary amount. If I ever hit gw -n I want it to be solved by a few rolling 48hr fasts. Still trying to figure what that number should be if taking lifting gains into account. Probably lower than I think.

>binge eat for 2 days straight>currently 36 hours into 48 hour fast>still basically wasted an entire week of progressim running out of fvcking time bros
fastfags are retarded NGMI's, binging then starving yourself over and over again KWAB, just eat less everyday its not that hard.
>>74220746not a fastfag albeit, i never fast.
Is hunger a good sign? Or rather, is absence of hunger a sign that my intake is still too high?
>>74220755maybe at the start, I don't really feel hungry anymore, maybe after the gym.
Anyone who says “KWAB” instantly loses all credibility for me because I know they are either a zoomer or brown.
>>74220721literally me except that I lose like a month of progress
weight started with a 1 this week.
>198.8 lbs Sunday>198.4 lbs Monday >198.2 lbs Today>can’t tell if I’m plateauing or if it’s water weight since I ate a bagelFUCK, never eating carbs again. I’m in a deficit so my body should just piss the weight out
>>74220746> starving yourselfwhat else is weight loss if not starving yourself? people play fast and loose with that word and equivocate on its meaning so muchhere's what to starve means according to the dictionary:1.suffer or die or cause to suffer or die from hunger."she left her animals to starve" informal (a) - feel very hungry. "I don't know about you, but I'm starving" (b) - force someone out of (a place) or into (a specified state) by starvation. "the Royalists were starved out after eleven days" (c) - deprive of something necessary. "the arts are being starved of funds"2.archaic•dialectbe freezing cold."pull down that window for we are perfectly starving here"If a 300 lbs man fasts for 3 days in a row repeatedly until he is at a healthy bodyweight he isn't starving himself in the physiological sense which is what most people mean when they hear about fasting because he has ample energy reserves in the form of body fat, and physiological starvation happens in 3 stages, the final stage being where your body breaks down tissue from your vital organs such as your heart and brain for energy. this is where you risk dying from organ failure. if you're cautious about your refeeds, electrolytes levels, and your vitals then it's perfectly safe.now in this case the 300 lbs man we could say is starving himself in both the first meaning of the word whereby he is "[suffering]... from hunger" but also in the other (1 c) "[depriving himself] of something necessary (food)". but in the latter case so is some guy who is 20 lbs overweight eating at a 500 calorie deficit.
>>74220987Wordslop
How the hell does anybody have the time for 10k steps
>>74220721i haven't had any luck with fasting, i typically just do like consistent 300-400 calorie days and i reach a malnourished zen (or in this case /calm/) after the first week
I've been eating healthy and exercising every day but my stomach is so fucked. I be doing diarrhoea and farting every night. Honestly I am lucky I live alone. And even I can't stand the smell. Might need to try one of those food intolerance kits or something
>>74221035works for some I guess. I currently fasting and I'll have a coffee with 200 calories of cream and later a two or three large pickles at 5 calories a piece, and some forkfuls of sauerkraut. I'll also have a glass or two of diet orange/lemon flavored soda. pickles and sauerkraut are better sources of electrolytes than snake juice. also if you don't guzzle 4 liters of water a day you won't need so many electrolytes.btw whats your 400 calories consist of? and whats your sw, cw, gw if you don't mind me asking
>>74221069target weight is 180, right now i'm at about 184. i sip on a zero sugar energy drink throughout the day and at around noon i drink one of those ka'chava drinks but i substitute the water with milk. was hungry as a motherfucker doing that but after a couple weeks I hardly miss food
>>74221058Introduce some sort of fermented foods into your diet. Alternatively, ensure you're cooking your food to the correct Temps / handling it all safely
>>74215451Vodka is around 70 calories, have a zero calorie mixer and you can have 3 or 4 on a night out and it shouldn't blow out your TDEEShouldn't really be drinking more than that, especially if your impulse control is bad and you end up annihilating a large Big Mac meal after
>>74221021Losing weight is honestly the easiest thing ever if you’re a neet
>>74218843>wake up>take a piss>get out of bed
>>74221213i do this
>>74220691Turtles are super cool, man."All you need is inside you">>74221213>>74221424Same. I got 2 urinals and like to stay nice and cozy without getting up at odd times in the night.
Why does it make me so uncomfortable every time my dad brings up my weight loss? A moment ago I walked by him and I was already seething because I could feel it coming and sure enough he asked “how much have you lost so far anon” and I sperged out and sorta threw my hands up and sighed and said “idk man like 48 or 50 pounds I think”(it actually is 48 to be precise) and he kinda just made that face that jaded retail workers make when they do the head nod acknowledgement thing to you and nodded and I quickly ran back to my cabin with my water jug. It’s literally the only thing he ever brings up around me anymore.
>>74221591>Dad looks out for you and tries to connect over your clear desire to improve yourself>Fuck you dad
>>74215918This is basically me right now>get down to 238.4 lbs>eat a chinese custard bun in the morning probably 400-500 calories>eat a huge plate of chicken teriyaki with white rice probably 1000 calories>fuck it here we gooooooo>get a carvel sundae dasher, 1850 calories and a fuck load of carbs and fat>total for the day easily 3500 calories or so>next day, aka today>only went up to 239.2 lbs>hmm that's not so bad>fuck it here we goooooooo>eat half a Costco cheese pizza, 2200 calories>eat another chinese custard bun, 400-500 calories>also eat a cheese danish from costco, google shows 500 calories>that's a cool 3200 calories for the dayBets on me being over 241 tomorrow?
>>74221637Why would you do this to yourself, anon?
>>74215148>play some vidya before bed>after last match have this weird feeling like I have to burp>instead it’s like some kind of hiccup but it feels like it’s ends in my mid chest>worried it’s my heart>feel strange>fart a few times 20 minutes later feel bit better think I’ll feel normal again and it was just gas>don’t feel normal been an hour>use pulse ox/ HR>51 BPM o2 is fine>check again 68It’s lower than my normal. I’m normally 75-90. I took a manual it was also 68. It’s rare for it to be in the 60s for me unelss I have no caffeine or nicotine I’ve had both today.I keep checking it’s mostly 68-71. Idk how much of this is anxiety but it feels like my heart is beating kinda hard despite being “low” for me. Like I can take a manual without palpating and it matches the HR monitor that’s how hard
>>74221613Yeah in hindsight it feels like I was kinda autistic in that moment. I don’t understand why it bothers me so much. I feel like no matter what I say he’s gonna say “oh come on you can do better than that” or not be impressed by whatever I say. He often will say things like “come on man you gotta run to get your heart rate up” when I’m outside walking despite my heart already beating really fast and my weight being 275lbs so running would potentially hurt my joints. Plus I feel like he doesn’t understand how how hard it is to walk like 10 miles in one day when I haven’t eaten in over 24 hours. He thinks weight loss is all about exercise and barely about food it feels like. He keeps saying things like “you’re into the hard fat now son, you’re gonna have to push it harder” despite the fact I’m still consistently losing 0.5-1.5lbs a day on average. Sorry for the blogpost. It get good to vent a bit
>>74221644Been wearing a CGM and tried ending keto after multiple months of doing it, to test my body's ability to process blood glucose (and subsequently insulin.) I was eating around 1200 calories a day worth of chicken teriyaki and white rice, thinking it was enough to kick me out of ketosis (around 400 calories of white rice and probably 150 calories of teriyaki aka pure sugar.) Somehow I was still pissing ketones and had 0 hunger meaning I was eating like 100g carb a day and still in ketosis. This was fucking with my blood sugars so the day I weighed in at 238.4 I decided to say fuck it, let's go all out and nuke this shit. That's what the sundae thing was about.Today I did some grocery shopping at Costco and decided to really double down on keeping ketosis at bay and got the cheese pizza with my wife. Also had to pick up some sweets for my dad visiting from overseas and got the cheese danish 2 for 1 and had to try one.Starting tomorrow I'll be going back to eating cleaner with a low fat beef stew and then once I'm out of that it's fasting time. Maybe shoot for 5 days with snake juice. That'll easily undo any damage I did these past 2 days and then some. It's just a minor setback really. My TDEE with me walking 6 miles a day is like 3000 calories so in all honesty, that's why I only went up like 0.8 lbs today with all those carbs and sugars adding water weight. It was probably only 0.2 lbs real fat added. Tomorrow will be similar I bet. I'll probably weigh in at 240.6 lbs at most. We'll see in 12 hours.
Watermelon is gonna save my fat fucking soul.>delicious>damn near a pound of it is only 100cal, can eat massive volume without going over calories>full of water to help me stay hydrated >full of vitamin A
>tried to do better today with omad >seen how much was in my chicken >11oz oven baked, with hot seasoning (chyane, paprika, splash of ghost pepper)>not one source can say if it was 530 cals or in the 300-400 range Counting kcals can be a pain in the ass
wtf even is a kcal? Is one kcal a calorie or is this some kg shit
christ I was good for a while but this is getting out of hand. something really fucked me up. I am going to post everything I eat for the next 8 days. this is day 01) 2x Hershey kisses2) 3x slices of pizza3) 7x wings4) small fry5) 12oz Dr Pepper6) 4x donuts7) 2x glasses of wine8) 1x gin and tonic
>>74221874Try having 1 hershey kiss instead of 2 and you should hit gw in no time :)
>>74221874The hardest part is breaking the cycle immediately. That mindset of "well, I fucked up one day, might as well do another" ... that is the worst. You gotta recognize that shit. 1 more day is like 1 week of progress flushed. You can do it. 1 day isn't the end of the world. Just break that shit tomorrow. Don't wake up and think about donuts.
>>74221692What country does your Dad live?Did you move overseas or did he?Keep up the good work.
>>74221895heh got a good laugh here>>74221905thanks, I appreciate this a lot
>>74221874except for the donuts, there's nothing really outrageous on that list. donuts are just a stupid waste of calories. But all the other foods have their merits in moderation and with a little tweaking. Like cauliflower crust pizza, sugar-free hersheys pieces (I love these, personally. I eat 2 per day with is 60kcal), unsauced wings, diet soda, etc. Fries are kind'a trashy, but at least their straight-forward and filling as long as they aren't doused in oil.
Do you recommend going no carb or low carb ?
>>74221964I did Keto for a year, lost 120 pounds. I've done CICO for the last 3 months with no restrictions outside of calories, and on track to lost the same amount. Whatever you think you can do for the long term is the best. Don't micromanage right now. Just stop eating today as a start.
>>74221975See I’ve done keto but don’t think it’s good to do long term and so hate how much it affects my lifts. With CICO I eat carbs and feel better to actually have good workouts
>>74221874Jesus. This just feels like such an unsatisfying tease of combinations. I’d much rather have just 1 whole pizza then >12 FRENCH FRIES>11 TATER TOTS>10 JOLLY RANCHERS>9 ONION RINGS>8 RITZ CRACKERS>7 CHICKEN WINGS>6 HERSHEY KISSES>5 SPOONS OF ICE CREAM>4 HAWAIIAN SWEET ROLLS>3 SLICES OF ‘ZA>2 SPRINKLED DONUTSand a glass of shitty red wiiiine
>>74221821I always just overestimate
>>74222015>newports
>>74222015I could probably have two of those slices before hitting my daily limit
I need a good workout plan to get back into weight loss. Something easy. Ideas?
>>74219606Based. Just got in a 3.5 mile run today, I have a spending problem, for the first time in my life I've actually cared about shoes to make sure I have the right shoes for the job and in the past week I bought 2 pairs of hokas (one for the trail one for the road) and a pair of converse for the gym. Running on the road in these was insane because my feet weren't even tired like they typically would be, I had no idea my "everyday" shoes were so fucked with 1000+ miles on them
>>74221678My dad always gives really bullshit advice. Things like I shouldn’t eat meat because it’s what’s making me fat. If you live at home, that’s what’s gonna happen. It’s unavoidable. Either you humor him and politely agree with no sarcasm or you tell him you are making progress following your plan. Whatever you’re going ain’t gonna work obviously.
Test
>>74222011Yeah, CICO is definitely more enjoyable just from a mental health standpoint. Like, you CAN eat those 6 pieces of pizza (if you don't eat anything else that day) or go out to eat with your family and not sound like a little bitch by asking about carbs in the dry rub. I like that flexibility.
>>74221021I went to a beer festival last month (I was driving so at least didn’t get shitfaced). Was on my feet for ~6 hrs except for ~30 mins of sitting to eat (3) tacos and bs with friends. Only 13,000 steps. A lot of it was standing around but most of it was walking, albeit slow. I guess if you have an active job it’s easy, I’m white collar wfh and only hit 10k+ on days when I get an hour of moderate/intense cardio in
>>74222087That’s the thing I usually tell him “what I’m doing seems to be working fine” and then he always “ohh okaaay” in a way that seems like he’s saying “yeah sure it is bud”. He has a weird thing where he gets super crabby if I ever tell him I wanna do something my way instead of his way.
>>74222034If it ain’t menthol, iT aInT sMoKiNg>>74222037Is your limit like 600 calories a day? I used to eat a whole pizza along with 2 footlong subs and Doritos back in my dude weed days
>>74222147It’s about double that
>>74222126I used to do that but I started just agreeing with him. Then he saw that I lost weight lately and said I should keep at it. But I also don’t live with them anymore so I think that’s the difference.
>>74222166An entire red Baron pizza is around 1500 calories, doubt the pizza in that other pic was 600 calories per slice
>>74222186When I said double I meant my daily limit, but maybe I am just overestimating the amount of calories in a slice of pizza
pizza is so good but damn does it curse my soul and body..
>>74222147That pizza looks fucking disgusting
>>74222147I miss baccy so much it's unreal. I didn't menthol's tho. The first drag tastes good but then I get a bit nauseous
>>74222186When I’m really craving pizza I just don’t eat anything else for the day except maybe a protein shake and some raw vegetables then have the pizza for dinner. It’s not hard to find a frozen one that’s just ~1000-1200 for the entire thing. Trader Joe’s has the best frozen pizzas in my experience.
>>74222392Dr Oetker is the goat frozen 'za
>>74222357Does look kinda gross in that picture I’ll admit. That was years ago and I don’t even remember where I got that or what kind it even is
Went to the gym for the first time in 2 years today
Wanted to eat super fucking bad earlier but I did not. I'm proud of myself but I still want to eat bros
i bought a 5lb tub of mocha flavored protein which i though was ass, turns out it was a whey isolate which just meant i should add less water to it, it tastes good now
turns out fat makes you fat
I refuse to pay for sugary sweet shit anymore. So today I pocketed 2 packs of sour lifesaver gummies, a pack of 8 double stuffed Oreos, and 2 packs of toasted peanut butter crackers. I have no idea when I’ll actually crack and eat any of this shit. Could be weeks or even months
>>74222702Throw all that shit in the bin, fatty
>>74222570>protein powder>water instead of milkWhy would you do this to yourself?
>>74222711No way. That 480 calorie pack of Oreos will be my meal one day. And I’ll have my first sugar rush in months
>finish 72 hour fast>was thinking about food the entire time and how I'm going to binge once I'm done>eat 3 hot dog sized sausages and I'm fullAlmost disappointing
>>74222702>StealingCringe faggot
>>74222736You have to break a fast slowly or you'll fuck yourself up you stupid idiot. Truly fastards are the most retarded weight losers
>>74222562Eat then, just find something that's super low calorie to snack on. For example I'll literally just eat a bag of ice berg lettuce, a 200g bag is 28kcals.
>>74222790>noooo not the heckin dollar general I’m sure Nabisco and Wrigley will be fine as well
>>74222792Yeah okay mom whatever you sayDid you think this overemotional post was enlightening and didn't just make you look like a seething retard?
>>74222801Already used all my calories for the day
>>74222819Hit a nerve did I fastard. Gonna cry little retarded fastard?
>>74222819That guy was a bit rude yeah, but he’s sorta got a point. Maybe start with a peanut butter sandwich next time and maybe have the hot dogs later, or you could hurt yourself anon
>>74222824Well then, sounds like a you problem.
>>74222827>no uK, good talk. >>74222832A 72 hour isn't long enough to put you in that sort of state where that could be a problem, even if I had had a total binge. I assure you I am fine.
>>74222850It is long enough, retarded fastard. But whatever, enjoy killing yourself.
>>74222850then perish
>>74217880Stop buying snacks. If you have them bring them to a party. If you don't have a party leave them in the car.
>>74219900I've lost 60 lbs and I thank low calorie drinks. Being a healthy weight is has significantly more benefits than diet soda has drawbacks.
>>74219900I have one diet soda a day and I’m still losing weight pretty much everyday. Sometimes I have 2 if I’m not in a worrying about money sorta mood
>>74221591My brothers all lost their covid weight and more. During Christmas my dad said he's proud of us. 295 -> 225 6'5230 -> 190 6'2225 -> 165 6'0 family runt meThe summer before we went 6 Flags and us boys were such a large family we broke the ferris wheel. It was hilarious.
Dinner tonight is twice baked potatos, delicious but holy heck, not sure if its the garlic or the skins but pretty bloated and looking pregnant right now.
Almost bought some cookies today because I almost thought I could trust myself to only have one or two from time to time. Lucky I know from previous experience this would not have been the case. Im getting stronger at this shit boys.
>>74223004>holy heckYou WILL get pregnant from me if you keep being this cute
Down from 235 to 233 at 5'9, 235 was my highest weight ever, I'm going to make a change>>74222491Good job anon>>74223004Why would garlic make you bloated?>>74223014Good job anon, I just removed the fruit snacks from my grocery order because I can't be trusted with them rn
15 more lbs bros
>>74223060Good shit. You got this bro
>>74222977Unless your brother is extremely muscular (doubtful because he’s been losing weight) he’s still fat at 6’5/225lbs. Tell him to keep going.
>>74223214He's prepping for army stuff so I have no worries there.
>>74221591you should be glad that your family actually supports you bro, mine treat me like I'm an anorexic with a severe eating disorder and all I'm even doing is a 500 calorie deficit
>stress eat until i'm 123 kgs>go to therapy>high on antidepressants and tranquilizers all the time>stop stress eatingWtf if i knew it was this easy
6’5/223lbsGW: 200lbsI don’t fucking get it bros. I reduce my lunch with 200 calories and suddenly I’m tired, weak and unmotivated all day. Feel like shit. I was told 200 calories wouldn’t make me feel that much different. It’s not an electrolytes issue, I swapped my pasta for sweet potatoes and they have more electrolytes, even if I eat less.I’m already in a mild deficit.
>>74223245Cringe weak mind
Need advice, currently at 187cm 120kg. Got down last year from 117kg to 103-ish, sadly stress + other life shit piled on top of each other and got back to 120 now (excuses). Achieved last year's success with simple dieting and excercising at the swimming pool every 2nd day for an hour or so (on top of walking 7k steps+ each day). Would it be possible to replace swimming with cycling if I was to do, say, 15km to start with? I'm at a point in life where I have a shit ton of time and found myself going out to cycle regardless, did 10km daily for the last 4 days and I already feel better - will preferrably switch to every 2nd day though to allow my body some time for rest and go higher distances, 30km is my current goal (mostly cycling around the city so ain't really that easy to get to that lol, solid 2-3 hours of excercise needed). Thanks in advance, hope to see you all in non-hog territory one day.>Please wait a while before making a post
>>74223276Any form of activity works, anon. You can get nice quads with cycling tho. Especially if you've got hills around.
>>74223295I have incredibly well developed muscles in the legs (lack the proper grammar to describe them though, esl moment) from years of skiing (almost professional at one point), somehow they still stuck. Helps a lot, still, other parts of my body are somewhat developed too as my chink scale says that 78-ish kg's of my body weight is supposed to be muscles.Thanks for the reassurement, anon. Appreciate it. Time to go out and cycle.
>>74223245Glad you got something that works dude
>>74222147Did you eat like this periodically or quite often ?
Guys i'm fucking starving and it's 4am. I tried drinking water and that didn't help. I'm trying to wait till 8am to eat breakfast at least.
>>74223673>up at 4amSleep brainlet
>>74223705I woke up 4hours ago though.
>>74223673Go out and roon.Or do cold bath. Idea is to jack up adrenaline so your brain and body is tricked into thinking that it is not a time to relax and eat.
How do I convince the doctor to put me on a CPAP machine? Or at least give me a sleep study?I've reached the point where I'd almost beg for it, but I was refused last time I tried. I can't sleep, I snore, and apparently I choke and suffocate while asleep... Yet the doctors won't help
>>74223715Tell them exactly that then.That you have severe sleep disorder and need help.
>tfw travelling next week and putting the diet on holdall I can hope is that the extra walking will work as damage control
>>74215148Good idea to do CICO normally for 5 days a week and then OMAD in the weekends? I'm not planning to exceed my Caloric intake but I want to eat something really good during the weekends without going overboard
>>74222792>expecting anyone to take fasting advice from a guy who says fastard as an insultare you autistic
>>74223721I tried man. Last time the doctor just signed off a stool test.When I came back for the follow up she had no sympathies for me. Said my stool returned fine and that I was fit and healthy despite what I told her.6 months later, I'm now visiting another GP with the same complaint.
>>74223214LOL that photo. New euro obsession image just dropped
>>74223707You woke up at midnight? Fix your sleep schedule for fucks sake.
>>74223715CPAP machines are a meme also most fuck you up in the long run.
>>74223744T. Fastard
I read "The Hacker's Diet" the other week.Good to know that a super rich dude was able to lose a bunch of weight through SHEER FORCE OF WILL AND A STRONG PLAN*.*retiring, having fuckloads of money, and being quite significantly older than his audienceAll you gotta do, fatty, is have minimal external stressors, lots of dosh to choose healthy and filling meals, and also intense freetime to plan every second of your day.Keep up the good work!
>>74223855lol, but you're right. Any kind of commercial product based around dieting is always suspect. Why would an industry that relies entirely on the existence of fat fucks want to reduce their numbers? This is why a lot of people, mainly women, tend to fall into dumb meme diets from magazines instead of just eating less and then wonder why they aren't losing weight.
>>74223895Yeah, why does the healthcare industry exist at all?
On Monday I wanted to go out and buy snacks but I didn't. Yesterday I wanted to get snacks but I had an orange instead. That's two days in a row of not giving in to the cravings. I'm sure I'll feel the same way tonight, and I will resist again. Just wanted to share this small achievement, thanks for reading my blog.
>>74223715Take a video.
>>74223715Go carnivore, beef, salt, water. After 30-90 days, add back in things slowly to see if you can have them without sleep issues. It's almost always inflammation that causes this shit.
>>74223895The book goes into fad diets and why caloric calculation is one of the only long term solutions, but that's the key: He's packaging the idea as an 'eat watch,' an analogous technological device by which you can manage weight in a hostile world.If only that world could be changed. If only we had the power to change it.But no, he's instead supposing that every fat fucker (including himself) should spend hours on end in spreadsheets worrying further about how to say no to people while restaurants and "FOOD PRODUCERS" are trying to sell you 10x the food for 15x the price as a coping mechanism for the tendency of the rate of profit to fall.
>>74223922It's a shame we wasted the word "nigger" on black people because we weren't sure if you'd make it to posting age.If only I could turn back the clock, you turbonigger.
NEXT THREAD:>>74223937>>74223937>>74223937
>>74223903Yep they have done similar things in the past>From the 1930's to the 1950's, patients were prescribed cigarettes by the doctor, as they weren't looked at as dangerous as they are now. The cause of this was because tobacco brands hired throat doctors to explain that dust, germs and lack of menthol were to blame when it came to illnesses, not cigarettes.
>>74223934Lol, don't go carnivore, see if I care. I'm only giving you a guaranteed answer to your problem that will fix everything. If that's too much for you to handle, continue choking.
>>74223944Eating red meat doesn't fucking eliminate inflammation. You're not a doctor, you're a dipshit.
>>74223965Okay, take your opinion and shove it up your ass.
>>74223922No, it’s not inflammation you pseudoscience peddling retard.
>>74223922Saturated fat causes inflammation
>>74218301First step is water only. Don’t drink calories.
>>74223715Describe your symptoms. Offer 2 alternatives that you think might help and ask them for their opinion or if they agree.
>>74223855The funny part is that the foods he mentions in the book are fucking boomercore shit like iceberg lettuce ranch salad with a tomato slice, etc. Bitch have your personal chef make you whatever delicious low calorie food you want. His exercises he mentions are also fucking retarded and pulled out of his ass
