Actually found a nutrition resource online for the restaurant plus a lot of the ingredients that matter are logged on MFP. Turned out to be less than 500 calories so I will assume it is at most 600 calories. I'm going to cook and enjoy my steak dinner now

Repost from previous thread, open to comments/suggestions for if I can improve anything for next trip on july 15. Grocery shopping done for the next two weeks (grocers is hour drive each way so I stock up)
>2.5lbs flank steak
>4lbs round steak
>5lbs sirloin
>1.5lbs ground bison
>2 containers spinach
>2 bunches of bananas
>6 avacado
>1 bag popcorn
>1 dozen eggs (egg guy gets back from hospital next week)
>2lbs frozen vegetables (carrots, broccoli, peas)
>1 container cream cheese
>2 container Greek yogurt
>2L milk
Overall I’m pretty happy with it for what I spent. Considering I had to get some essentials like toilet paper and gasoline as well I’m happy with $320 all in. Not sure how the Jews convinced so many people that eating healthy is more expensive cause I was spending like $250 per week on just food and alcohol before the cut. Happy Canada Day weekend everyone

i don't understand how i'm supposed to meet my fiber goals without either beans or supplements.

according to MFP, 400g of broccoli has a whopping eight grams of fiber. add in some fruit and it adds an additional 8g leaving me with 16g.

how on earth am i supposed to get to 25-30g?


>>74606896
oh man. i live in an area of the US where bison are farmed so we get more than just ground meat. bison are super lean, but if you get a fatty cut like ribeyes, they taste much like a cow but have less calories. the problem is, it costs 2x as much as beef does.

Weight loss is really about changing your thinking and having simple daily habits.

1. All or Nothing thinking.

You'll either lose all the weight, eat clean, etc or you'll pig out and feel like crap. Or you'll look ar yourself in the mirror, see your body, and give up because why bother.

Stuff like that is all or nothing thinking and it doesn't result in you acheiving your goals. It's poison.

Instead there are two things to realize.

Something is better than nothing.

If you do something every day consistently you will be amazed by your results. Your results will build momentum and over time you'll achieve your goals. Doing something rather than nothing is the difference between success and failure. You don't have to run a 10K today, but you can go for a walk.

You don't have to restrict yourself to death, but you do need to log at least one meal in a food app.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. You don't have to walk a thousand miles tooday. But you need to take the next step.

Pick two or three daily habits that matter. Like logging what you eat at least one meal, and going for a walk.

Keeping a simple easy goal will build confidence, and give you momentum, and lead to better and better results.

The biggest obstacle to a healthy weight is all in your head.

Started doing cardio about a week ago, usually I eat anywhere from 2000 to 1600 calories a day and do a decent job at trying to get 150g protein a day, my worry is that I'm losing weight too fast or I'm overtraining, I'll do max effort stair stepper machine for an hour and follow that up with 30 minutes of jogging or rowing depending on the day, is my metabolism gonna crash? Do I rope? Also noticed that when I stopped eating processed sugar or sugar in general I'd have day long headaches, I think that's from insulin but I just take advil to fix that

Great example of all or nothing thinking, anon.

Something is always better than nothing.

https://youtu.be/cwakOgHIT0E?si=9CruDg0Ak7K8cOoI

Timestamp 01:43:43 "micro sucks".

Building habits has many benefits. One of them, forcing yourself to do what you don't want to do changes the plasticity of your brain. The Anterior Mid-Cingulate Cortex (aMCC) is the seat of your self-control and tenacity. As you force yourself to overcome the mental resistence in your brain, your aMCC grows. When you give in to your whims it shrinks. Focusing on two or three daily habits is doing aMCC reps, increasing your self-control and tenacity.

Logging at least one meal per day is better than nothing. It will lead over time to consistently logging information about your diet. Allowing you to identify problems in your nutrition. Some information is better than no information.

For example, in my first week logging at least one meal per day (most days I logged everything), I noticed I was eating less than half my protein requirements. With that information I corrected my diet by increasing protein and fiber intake. Logging forced me to become more mindful of what I ate. I also knew which days I over ate, and niticed that junk food caused me to miss my calorie goals. Which motivated me to cut out junk food and pay attention to the calories of each meal. For example, I had a habit of eating two or three high protein calorie dense foods. The logging habit helped me to reduce my consumption to one of those high protein calorie dense foods. It also taught me to value lean protein like chicken.

This one daily habit became leverage to change half a dozen other habits. Something that was rather powerful given the minimal effort required.

>>74608321
You need a certain size of abdominal muscles for them to be visible at 12%. Are you muscular? If not, at 12% you'll just look Auschwitz mode rather than lean and attractive.

>>74607138

>again..

>some n times later

>>74609066
You're right that developing habits is generally doomed to failure because human beings are cyclical.
But you can develop discipline, and more importantly, change your environment to make certain behaviour more likely.

>>74609072
>develop discipline, and more importantly, change your environment to make certain behaviour more likely

This doesn't happen in practice though and it's not because they didn't read enough power of habit motivational books or didn't listen enough huber. As people age, their environment becomes worse, their discipline weakens and they become more fat and unhealthy over time, keep banging their head on the same problem without making progress.
There are some people that make it but they are rare and you can't attribute it to some habit trick. Maybe those were just higher iq, higher time preference who were for some reason unlucky in their earlier life.

Locking in tomorrow morning lads, last meal of the day completed today. Stoked to be waking up tomorrow and getting it done. Plan is pretty much track everything that goes into my mouth, gym 3 days a week, cardio 3 days a week. Starting at 2000cals and ill adjust again next week depending on results. Just feeling things out week 1. Ill weigh in tomorrow morning.

Welp I hit my 10kg goal, faster than expected actually. Will eat closer to maintenance now and if I get leaner, cool, if I stay where I am, I'm satisfied.

Kind of regular diet just no refined carbs and more vegetables.

>>74609066
All or nothing thinking. If it isn't something that will give you perfect results, best not to even try right anon?

Failure is part of the process. Perfectionism is a trap. The right habits are life changing. But you might miss a day or something so there's no hope and it's best to never try anything.

You're very quick to dismiss a Professor from the Stanford School of Medicine. I suppose your credentials and knowledge are superior to his. Let's see you post them.

I hope no one reads your doomer garbage and takes it seriously. I hope someday you try again. Because it really is easy to stop being an all or nothing guy. It realky is easy to build habits and change your life. It takes time and focus.

Another useful productivity tool is setting goals. Research shows that people who write down a goal are 90% more successful at achieving their goals than those who don't.

Many guys will benefit from setting realistic goals. All you have to do is figure out what your next step is and do it.

>>74609238
Oh and 1904kcal per day. Made sure to eat that every day, never went way below just because.

>>74609245
Here's a negative response that avoids personal attacks:

Look, I appreciate the motivational quotes, but it's not that simple for everyone. There's a big difference between "missing a day" and chronically struggling. Maybe "Stanford Professor" doesn't get the daily demotivation some people face. Building habits is great in theory, but what if you're already burnt out? Not everyone responds to the same one-size-fits-all advice.

It can happen. Probably dehydrated. Worry if you're losing fluids other than piss and sweat.

It's not all or nothing thinking, I'm not saying you should not try. I'm saying the that the motivational habit slop peddled by huberman gives zero "tools" to deal with failures.
The failure happened months maybe even years ago, it's so long ago you don't even remember it, there is no way to gain any useful learnings about it. Whatever was "built up" is gone.

But the little muscle i had or build looks a bit better, people notice and tell me they see a difference.
The biggest impact i guess was i made more pictures doing cool sports and trips like hiking (I'm the hiking anon that blog posts sometimes) BUT there are other factors too new job in a prestigious sector and cleaning up my profile


>>74609265
well, true that it won't work for every one. But goals and stretch goals are like the foundations of success... economic, personal,design. Iterative and incremental approaches are used and work
for example, next to nobody just starts running marathons till failure until they finish one. They do some couch to 5k thing, run a half-marathon etc. before. one step/level/iteration at a time.

>but what if you're already burnt out
that's the whole point... why you take small steps and build habits. You might want to get fit and be active but the mountain of lard in front of you is large and you don't have the willpower/mental state to climb that all at once and suffer for a year.
so what do you do ? small habits just the sweet soda get used to it. next month cut the chips and switch to healthier stuff like roasted nuts, frozen yogurt instead of ice cream. Park the car at the far side of the parking lot. you dont try to run on day 1 and suffer cramps for a week and burn out. You go with slow sustainable pace. honestly its in the name "burnout" you burn yourself to fast so guess what you can to counter to going to fast and to hard?

Going all in is more a thing for addictions, not habits

>>74609304
day to day weight fluctuations are random and irrelevant, try to at least average a few days. chug a bottle of water and "gain" a kg or you can take a dump and "lose" a kg in minutes. 1kg of body fat has about 7000 calories. 3kg of bodyfat has 21000 calories, most likely you didnt burn that much

I tried cottage cheese with strawberry today. Admittedly the first bite was underwhelming, but after I got a spoonful with a good heap of berry it in it is rather nice. Need to figure out the ideal ratio. In comparison to honey, the sweetness isn't as overbearing which I like

Obese, physical activity level of a sloth, shitty diet made up of carryout, no smoking or alcohol at least.

I once lost 55lbs just by eating smaller portions and cutting out the sweets but then covid happened, my college career fell through, and I've been depressed and practically bedridden for the last several years and only started making significant recovery these last 6 months. I've regained ~35lbs and kept the net calories at a slight decline since then. Over the last couple of years I've noticed a slight tightening sensation around my chest and neck about once a month or so. I asked my doctor about my blood pressure and he says it's perfect. I was curious about it so we did some blood work and got the results. I didn't bring up the tightening sensation, because I didn't think much of it, but seeing the results now it's making me concerned. I'm only 25, I shouldn't be experiencing heart problems at this age. Even if my current lifestyle is shit, there's no way it was bad enough to get my heart acting up this early. Maybe I'm over thinking it, but the blood work report is real and I have a very real risk of developing heart disease later in life. I guess this is my wake up call to get back to losing weight, fixing my diet, and getting fit.

I'm a lazy bastard, so I buy steamfresh bags of veggies I pop in the microwave. Then when they're done, I throw them in a pan with whatever meat juices I have and some seasoning until they brown out a bit.
They are probably classier ways to do this, but this is just the right level of effort for me.

mix brussel sprouts or broccoli with some olive oil and a pinch of salt. roast in oven at 425.

i'll give you that. if i'm making something saucy, i'll just steam fresh broccoli in the microwave for 3 mins. like, i recently made chicken breasts with a bit of a garlic/wine pan sauce and had steamed broccoli as a side.

if i'm eating something without sauce like a steak, i'll roast broccoli as a side.

but frozen broccoli is nasty and soggy. idk why anyone would buy it when it takes 30 seconds to cut up and wash broccoli and takes 3 minutes to steam it in the microwave

conservation. I prefer fresh vegs any day of the week but you can't really keep them around forever. I agree broccoli is prolly one of the worst vegs to freeze or can tho

>>74611499
You're probably fine.
Add some carrots or something to the salad if you want more. It's hard to stay up on fiber when you're heavily cutting.

>>74611493
Depends on the kind of fiber you want. insoluble fibers can be obtained from bread. if you're controlling your carbs, keto breads are absolutely loaded with insoluble fibers.
Soluble fibers, the superior kind, are a bit trickier to grab. I get a baseline with 2 teaspoons of psyllium husk powder that I shake vigorously in 8oz of water, which gets me 9g of soluble fiber I drink with meals that have a good chunk of saturated fat.
Beyond that, I rely on eating asparagus, brussel sprouts and avocados regularly, but that's my low-carb bias showing. Plenty of veggies and legumes have soluble fiber out there.

You need better lighting. Also, disable the auto-exposure setting on your camera so that when your arm briefly covers the bright background behind you, it won't try to brighten the entire image to compensate.
But yes. You need a light behind your camera. Shifted the side(s) if you prefer. If you've got the budget for it, a ring light can help a lot.
It will greatly improve your manic pixie routine, trust me on this.

Lmao. Former fatty here. I used to do that, too. I liked observing the fluctuations and logging the data.

You'd probably feel better if you stopped weighing yourself altogether. Watching your waist slim down without stressing about logging data is a good way to focus on staying on the diet instead of chasing numbers, even if you accept that there are fluctuations.

What is the verdict on zero calorie artificial sweeteners like stevia?
If I use some in a black coffee so I don't break a fast is that going cause any issues?

How many grams of fat should one consume when losing weight? My daily caloric goal is 1,292. My protien intake is 157g. So how much fat should i consume to maintain healthy hormone levels?

>>74613538
Science says it's just a calorie and therefore is good for you albeit

>>74613538
well keto youtubers like dr. berg and dr. fung seem to prefer natural sweeteners to artificial ones like sucralose (or even worse splenda which has maltodextrin)
so it should be fine but of course water and black coffee are the most recommended for fasting or keto

>>74613538

That is entirely doable.
Each kilo of fat is about 7777 kcal.
So a ~700 kcal daily deficit would get that done.

>>74614194
Claiming it's standard for the majority of these people on this board, is absurdly laughable. Also closer to 40lbs with the 7lbs of lean mass I added in that time same frame. Probably added another 10lbs since then.

The body acts weird sometimes. You will go from losing 3 pounds in two days and then stop losing weight for a week.

It's water weight. If you eat more carbs or salt your body holds onto more water weight. If you stop eating that much carbs and salt then your body holds onto less water weight.

You should ignore this guy. He's intentionally being obtuse to elicit a reaction.

Can you please stop posting in here? It's causing me to relapse my binge eating and i just ate 10,000 calories. Probably ur fault.

I drink so much fucking soda bros
Goddamnit

>>74615024
As long as you choose the zero calorie options you're not a failure yet. Just work on drinking less day-by-day. I used to drink an easy 2L a day. Few weeks later I strictly drink water. Best decision ever.

I'll try that bro, thanks
I feel disgust when I look at myself

no progress this week, I was working and physically can't diet during that but the weight didnt budge. Also had a pizza party planned on friday so I ate a lot then but no change in weight so it's not all bad.
Bought a fuckton of vegs so I'm gonna be eating mostly vegs and meat this coming week.

I work demolitions. I tried doing OMAD while working but I got really lightheaded on the second day.
I'm pretty sure I'm still at a slight caloric deficit but keeping up at work is much more important than loosing weight (especially since it was just for 4 days of work anyway).
I had plenty of other jobs where I could do OMAD without trouble but this aint one of them

>>74615392
Why don't you just do less of a calorie deficit during the week brianlet. Try TWOmad

Looking good, good job.

>>74615478
Your post says OMAD you nigger brained chimp

>>74615507
You're eating more than this

>>74615367
Today a sort of "kålpudding" or beef and cabbage stew. With some chickpeas and rice, gud.

>it’s monday so that means another 5 day cycle of black coffee and cigarettes to avoid binge eating
It’s all so tiresome

>>74615527
>I tried doing OMAD at work and got lightheaded and couldnt continue
so yes I already said I stopped doing that because I couldnt keep it up you fucking illeterate bitch

>>74615612
I know that you stupid nigger brained chimp, that's why I recommended TWOmad and getting more calories you fucking illiterate ape.

>>74615456
600 cals worth of exercise doesn't necessarily result 600 cal more expended. What really happens is after your exercise you will feel slightly tired and your energy expenditure is lowered.

400 cal deficit diet doesn't necessarily result 400 cal being pulled from your fat. Being in calorie deficit reduces energy output, your body is colder, you do less involuntary movements.

Why do I come in here and everyone is always arguing? Is it the same cancerous person in here starting fights again?

ANYWAYS,

I fucked up and went wayy over on calories Saturday at a party. So, yesterday I fasted all day. Should I continue my fasting today and make it an extended fast or should I go back to my normal meal plan?

>>74615643
Go and ask /fast/ for advice on fasting duh

I really miss pooing lads.
Used to be once a day, maybe two. Always huge. Now I barely go once every two days and they're disappointingly sized. I dream that one day I'm going to do a massive shit and drop 2lbs in one go.
37lbs down in 7 weeks through fasting.

>>74615671
This happens with me too and it's also a good core workout trying to push it out. It smells really bad, and because of the lack of cellulose, goes right to the bottom instead of floating like before.
At least I don't have to worry about shitting, on long bus rides.

>>74615671
When I do extended fasts I can do nothing but piss water out my ass. How are you not shitting constantly?

Also how often are you fasting? Impressive loses, interested in your routine.

Routine is starting at 240lb, being retarded and not eating for days until I can't mentally take it any more after which I'll have a day of about 1800 calories. Average calorie intake probably about 600/day over that time period and I try to get in a 5 mile walk each day.
I think it's probably ok because of my yuge start weight and bf% but I think I will need to be less retarded once I'm a bit less fat

>>74615765
Sick, looks good. I started at 250 and have been on a 1500 calorie a day on average diet. I don't have the will power that you do for super long fasting so just doing a deep cut

>>74612662
Lmao, down 2.5 lbs from yesterday. A woosh indeed. 5.8 lbs lower than last monday
