is it really that bad of a plan to just focus on caloric intake and accept getting skinny fat first before beginning the whole lifting and watching macros thing to build muscle?
Guys I've been bedrotting and binging TV all day and forgetting to eat. I think this is the secret
>>77192829Get a standing desk and a walking pad and replace bedrotting with walking while you binge TV/vidya/4chan all day, AND THEN forget to eat.
>>77192835I do want one
Finally committed to the journey at the start of this month. Cut out both beer (probably the culprit for a lot of my weight gain) and pop. Downloaded cronometer, started tracking my caloric intake (1000 calorie deficit) and I’m at the gym every other day. So far I’m down 8lbs since Apr 1. 298>290 at 6’0. Fully expect the weight loss to slow down after I become less of a fatfuck, but it’s nice to see progress right off the bat. Any tips to someone starting out that you wish you knew when you started?
>>77192824day 5 of no antidepressants. i gained like 15 fucking pounds in 4 months after starting it and i look like shit. need to get back on track
>>77192835>standing deskthis is a meme, standing burns like 10 calories extra an hour compared to sitting
>>77192858The whole point is the walking pad which burns more
>>77192858Each hour of walking you do burns an additional 150~200kcals, walking all day is the best way to augment weightloss. You won't even know you're doing it.
>>77192828A week not lifting is a week wasted. You don't have to give a shit about caloric intake or macros to make gains as a dyel.
>>771928538 lbs in five days...?
>>7719286210 bodyweight squats every hour in an eight hour period is the equivalent of walking 10,000 steps per day
>>77192870Proof?
>>77192866Yes I don’t understand why I’m losing weight so fast unless I’m doing something wrong with calculating my BMR. The one thing I’m not sure of is the “Baseline Activity” in the app. I have it set at sedentary, but maybe I should adjust it to “Moderately Active” since I’m working out multiple times a week
>>77192889Could just be water
>>77192870why not just do 80 squats
>>77192893That’s what I was thinking since I have noticed myself looking less bloated in the mirror. It’s not like I’ve fasted for the whole month so far and I definitely don’t have 6+ hr gym sessions, so majority of it is probably water and maybe 1-2 lbs is actual fat. I don’t think it’s possible to burn 28,000 calories in under a week.
How do you guys feel about the GLP drugs?
>>77192870I have a very hard time believing this.
Mounjaro is fucking uselessI need to cut at 500 cals to lose weightmy metabolism is shot to hell and I'm barely losing body weightI need to eat whatever I want and burn 7 kilos a month
>>77192902they are better than nothingI'm sure they're supremely useful for normal fatoids unlike methese normal fatoids drop 10 kilos in 3 months on Mounjaro
