I found having them every once in a while (especially planned for trips/going out) very welcoming as long as the total calories were not over my daily maintain expenditure, at worst thats one out of 7 days not in deficit but not over either. Towards the end of my weight loss I had one every week or so but within reasonable limits obviously wouldnt much of processed trash most of the time but make the cheats myself.

>>75003969
>>75003985
I still get some junkfood or fattening food cravings once in a while though, like today I really felt like having some home made cannelloni, but that takes some discipline I guess.

Also I've found if I push through the first instict to eat breakfast as soon as I wake up and wait 1-3 hours it helps me keep to my caloric deficit if not lower during the day.

>>75003984
Replace your cravings with diet soda. Urge to eat? Urge to smoke? Chug soda.

>>75003995
Here's the thing anon. I already drink 0 calorie coke.

Went from 178 pounds to 148 in 4-5 months by just cutting snacks. I'm 5'10.

postpone it by like a month or three anon. too many sudden large lifestyles all at once don't go well for humans. once you're a little settled in and feel good eating less/exercising you can think about quitting smoking

Do I do OMAD or divide the same amount of calories in 3 meals?

What is easier to stay on without cheating?

>>75004039
I personaly do OMAD
It's easy and straight forward

Best way to increase metabolism after 150+ lbs weight loss? I've been eating around 1700-1800 with light cardio walks and want to increase that to 2500 if possible with weight lifting.

Thinking to just gradually increase calories while working out until it becomes maintenance then repeat, good tactic?

>>75004039
4 meals a day is working out nicely for me. You should give every one of those a shot and see what works well for your body.

>>75004092
True OMAD, like no little things throughout the day like nuts or whatever? What are you eating for the meal, lad?

>>75004123
Chicken and rice with some vegetables
No snacking ofc

>>75003777
Ever since the weekend i've been eating normal up to my tdee. I'm such a failure.

>>75003777

>VENT/WHINE/BLOG
I'm out of state for a big conference, and it's in a college town. Everyone here's is so slim or very fat, the slims are long distance runners. There's quite a few shops dedicated to running and biking. I feel weird being so in-between, my BMI isn't 19 *OR* 37 and the extra fats look at me with bitterness while the slims look at me with smugness abd disgust. God damn it I'm 26 I'm only 4 away from dead average! I'm also staying in a hotel with a large mirror opposite the shower, so I'm just looking at my full body for the first time since my max weight. If my rose is wrapped in a towel like a woman I'm actually proud and happy with my body, but full nudes I'm so ashamed. Covered I see a nice young man, nude I see grandpa and his saggy old tits. I'm sure eventually I'll actually be proud, I know I need to get back to cardio and stop making excuses. I'm close. So close.

No fatties do look at you with bitterness, especially when you start to lose weight. I had /r/loseit mods ban me because my deficit was more than 1000 calories

Technically you'll eventually get to the weight that you eat at, but most people would like to speed up not being a lard elemental and don't want to wait years.
Most people eat at a 500-1000 deficit under their tdee when doing basic dieting.

Just drink the broth and then go for a light walk. Basically calorie neutral

>>75004508
That's not fried it's boiled.

I just learned about WOODY BREASTS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woody_breast) which explains why my chicken breast comes out fucking disgusting and rubbery sometimes. I thought I was over or undercooking it, but it's just that we've genetically manipulated chickens into fucked up mutated monsters and they now occasionally make awful quality meat that makes you want to barf.

>>75004576
I raised wild chicken as pets as a kid, their meat tasted way better than what you get at the market, both in flavor and texture.

>>75004576
>>75004586
God I hate that shit so much. I wish I had better financial means so I could buy better chicken but I've resigned myself to the 2.99/lb cost frankenchicken breasts for the time being.

>>75004553
oh well disregard that then. you could add in some broccoli or cauliflaur to get some volume via veggies in although idt you asked for advice on that

I had it on my mind, but around dinner I decided to try and make it a refeed night for the first time in months.
>Some pasta (Alfredo sauce, garlic butter, shrimp)
>A small amount of turkey
>Two baked potatoes
>Tall glass of orange juice
>Two 230 calorie Lindor chocolate bars
And breakfast was
>Two thin slices of toast with peanut butter (finished the last bit of peanut butter in the jar)
I also only did one hour of cardio instead of my usual two. I'm so full right now and I don't even know if I hit my maintenance, but all the weight on my gut finally overcame my constipation. I've been to the bathroom three times in the past hour. I should probably eat some fruit for the fiber so what I ate doesn't stick with me for a while.

I hope I hit enough calories and my body decides to release the water weight it's been carrying for a week+. I've been able to make a doughnut with my belly fat since I was a kid, but right now it's like the consistency of actual dough.

>>75004594
the previous anon is lying to you, any chicken that lives a normal life moving around will have tough meat and taste like shit, we constantly buy "free chickens" from a guy in town and the slop from the supermarket is consistently tastier

you ARE overcooking your breasts fucking retard, that wikipedia page is so small compared to the fucking chicken industry you'd think more people would be aware of this shit? how the fuck are you always drawing the lucky woody chicken numbers, just change brands or supermarkets retard

>>75004828
I can guarantee you weren't getting all the nutrients you need from a 1000 calorie diet. Could be proteins. It is hard to fit in 100g of protein into 1000 calories. You also shouldn't be dieting like that in the first place. Ideally you would stick to a 400-500 calorie deficit a day. You were doing at least triple that. Just binge on some healthy food for a bit and avoid junk food to keep from gaining more weight back.

>>75004839
Use a barbell and stop excercising like a woman.

>>75004842
yeah. we all will

>>75004843
i was getting more than 100g of protein every day, it's not that hard as long as you have eggs and bacon for breakfast, skip lunch, snack on high protein stuff (e.g. 50g of low fat cheddar = 15g protein) and have a good dinner, use protein shakes to complement

the only thing i was definitely lacking was carbs, I also started running instead of walking so that threw me off, maybe it is unsustainable if doing cardio

>>75004870
>it's not that hard
you ended up binging and putting on a kilo. its hard. you should feel proud you got that far and didnt rebound harder. i personally struggle once i hit 1600 a day and 1800 seems to be my sweetspot for what i can tolerate for extended periods of time. maybe do 1600 with an optional 200 calorie snack that you can eat once a day if you feel like it? you're already eating vegetables. maybe add another 200-300 calories of veggies, another 300 of protein, then 200 optional calories from stuff like sugar free pudding or smart pop.

>>75004819
Kek i would lie if I told you I didn't do that on many solo vacations. I would plan my and pig out efficiently, proteins from the shitty cured meats and carbs mainly from fruit, plus a nice glass of milk and buttered bread. You can't keep it up for long because the macros are off but vacations can lose you a lot of weight.

I've lost nearly all motivation and have been slipping back into old habits. I'm still 75lbs away from my goal and I really want to make it. Dumb thing is everything diet/workout oriented was going amazingly, it's just the rest of my life dragging me into the depths.

>>75004895
i don't consider it a binge, i was in control, the 1kg is water weight and me having my belly full, anyone who's gone low-no carbs and suddenly ate carbs will gain 1kg at least, which can be argued is my "real weight" as I don't intend to be carb free forever.

i have rebounded before, first time i dieted a couple of years ago it was with a 500 calorie deficit or so, sorry to say but you're not immune to rebounds either bro. weight loss is weight loss, it's just faster doing a harder cut, even if i'm set back a week it's still faster than the last few times. i have never made it as far as maintenance, and that's the hard part, i don't think that the way you lost the weight matters a lot as long as you do a reasonable amount of protein from whole foods and kept somewhat active, and don't completely lose your sanity.

im gonna explode after these 5 eggs

Technically you only did one type of math, arithmetic, so saying maths would be incorrect.

Been going strong for nearly 6 week on a 1000-1200 deficit every day. I drink a lot of alcohol still but count those calories so i never get past a certain treshold, and i still eat on irregular times since i like to nap a lot.
Went from 156 to 146 in that time but i feel like i could do more still.

What changed in comparison to previous 'diets' was that i put my sole focus on calorie count instead of watching what i eat, working out and other forms of self-improvement. I get to be obsessive about this one thing but eventually i want to incorporate working out regularly of course.

I went out to get some finger food and 1 beer needed a "reward" been going hard for 2 months I'm down 60 pounds.
I got potato skin and tons of jalapenos, jalapenos are my fucking JAM!
Haven't had this type of food in some type, next super nasty shits for 2 days on the 3th days the most painful hemorrhoid, sitting down is painful I cant even really think other then the pain.
But everyday I've been biking for 1 hour so I had to do it for the most of the ride I was standing up on my bike 30 mins mins in I found a way I could sit down on the sit without too much pain.
Today its better I think I can workout without blinding white pain in my ass
jalapenos isn't my jam anymore.

>>75006396
just like, plain jalapenos?

>>75006402
Yes, plain
I have a mount on them on those potato skins like 4-5 on each one I had 4 potato skin
but body just isn't adjusted to spicy food anymore maybe idk

>>75006339
Let me be real with you anon. You won't hurt my spirit, I still have a long road ahead of but I'm no fool. Life's too much of a bitch and a struggle to prevent myself from appreciating the little positives I can get. All weight losses journeys start with a first pound, if you can't appreciate that then what's the fucking point? If you can't let yourself feel joy for all those steps as miniscule as you deem them to be then it's just condemning yourself to a bitter unhappy life.
Don't get me wrong I don't lose weight or try to change for the benefit of others, I do it for me but I won't ever delude myself into thinking that any sort of positive feedback is an obstacle or an illusion. Shame on you for trying to make someone ashamed of their joy.

I ate a horrendously bad breakfast but at least it isn't candy.

To any of you out there who have actually made it and have the experience to comment, how much of an improvement in muscle mass can you realistically make in a week or two of heavy lifting to failure and eating big with lots of protein? Enough to offset say 3 months of muscle loss during a steady 1k caloric deficit? I lost a ton of weight but I feel like I also gave up way too much muscle and I want some back but I don't want to delay making more weight loss progress. I don't have months to stop and lift and eat big. I need to keep steadily losing weight for an upcoming surgery in about 5 months. Any comments on taking a 1 to 2 week break for muscle bulking? Worth or nah? I am a DYEL fatty with spaghetti arms.

Chug a shitload of fiber anon, that is what has worked for me. It might give you diarreah on the first days but eating 5-6grs of fiber per meal will keep you full for a while. Also low calorie snacks help, if your body feels your stomach is full your diet stress will take a longer time to rise.

>>75006508
Out of curiosity, what's your weight/height and what are you aiming for 5 months from now?

>>75006545
where you eating fiber from?

>>75006426
Potatos and jalapenos on their own are not inherently unhealthy and long as you log them. You could probably work this into your diet if you wanted to. Also there might be some research about spicy food and weightloss but you know how diet research is.

>>75006507
has the same calories as his candy you just enjoyed it less lmao

235 lbs and 6'0. I would like to be under 200 in 5 months. Weight loss plateaued hard these last 5 or so pounds. Can't keep up any progress. I think it's because I have literally anorexic looking arms under the fat. Same for my chest, abs, back, shoulders etc. Only my calves are jacked.

>>75006638
>cravings
cravings are not hunger. you still get them even if you're sated. you need to fill yourself up so you don't feel like eating anymore just as you finished your meal.

I'm 6'3 and I found that weight training (as a new lifter) jacked my appetite up to unsustainable levels. I guess it just depends on what you want at this point. If you're a beginning lifter you can maintain weight and recomp very well. Idk how much muscle we lose as weight loss goes on, but honestly it can be gained back. I think the whole preserving muscle mass during a cut applies to people who have been lifting a decent amount of time and have to fight for every pound of muscle.

>>75005162

manlet detected, don't comment on shit you don't know about

>>75006722
Got it, so you are coping. Have a good day fatty.

>>75006711
The appetite thing is definitely true. I wasn't hungry before lifting and while losing weight but once I started lifting I was eating 150g protein and 3000 calories like it's nothing. I hope at least that week long break helped rebuild some muscle. I am a new lifter and I do feel like when I look in the mirror, my physique is more built up on my upper body for once. But at the same time it's a week and I know muscle is the slowest thing to change so I'm trying to keep my hype in check. Gonna dry fast the next 2 days and see where things lead by Saturday. If it goes well and I'm back in the 220s then I'll roll right into a carnivore diet and try to get 1800 calories a day and continue lifting to hopefully maintain what muscle I have.

>>75004990
I eventually lost mine after starting at 260. The first time I got down to 165 the gut was gone and I had abs. I cut down to 157 and just barely still had tits. I bulked back up to 181 and now that im back to 172, fhe tits are gone and I havs abs. Best Ive ever looked too. Theres hope.

>>75006508
>I lost a ton of weight but I feel like I also gave up way too much muscle and I want some back but I don't want to delay making more weight loss progress
Muscle memory helps here, but will take longer than 2 weeks. Lost muscle comes back faster than the first time you built it Maybe do a month long recomp phase at maintenence calories and hop back on the diet. Youre not perma fucked so dont worry too much.

>>75006740
Good luck man. I wish I could just eat maintenance and start lifitng, but I'm not happy with where my belly is. I have ~25lb to go, then I'm going to hang around 230 for a while (which is a good weight for me, belly will be much much reduced) and focus on lifting at maintenance calories for a while and see what I feel like doing. Here's a good video on the topic, he gives great information in the beginners' segment.

>>75006473
for sweet cravings those protein puddings you can now buy everywhere for cheap helped me a lot, they're often like 120-160 calories per cup and around 15-20g of protein.
Now when I crave sweets I just eat a cup, fuck regular sweets, even if they're inside your calories because you'll never escape the sweets Satan if you keep worshiping at His altar

>>75006821

I fell off the wagon. I haven't properly counted calories in 3 days. I haven't exercised or gone for walks for 10.
I wonder if I'll be able to stick with it.

i dont count calories, i just eat until im satiated
we are not the same

>>75006888
Weigh yourself every day. Mark a weight in which if you reach you will 100% go back in the wagon.

>>75006888
setbacks happen, but you're making a lifestyle change that eventually is going to have to stick. anyone can lose weight and the first little bit is really the hardest. once your body's adapted to fewer calories and less food, and once you've really accustomed yourself to counting calories and it becomes habit rather than something you're actively convincing yourself to do, things do get easier. i hope you can get back on the horse, anon. even just forcing yourself to count for a day or do a few pushups or a 30 minute walk is habit-forming. you're building habits.

>>75006897
yeah you're fat and im not
we are not the same

>>75006925
Hes fallen off the wagon, but I do think the goal should be that once you lose all the weight you train yourself to be able to estimate calories in food and live a healthy active lifestyle that keeps you fit. Id imagine weekly or monthly weigh ins help as well. This is way down the line though. Like a full year without rebounding.

>>75006943

>>75006919
Weight has been the same unstable it was after I started exercise. It doesn't really change in such a short period of time though. But I agree with your suggestion. That's what I plan on doing once I lose enough fat.
>>75006952
A year is fine. It's the longer term that's an issue for me. I was 104 kg and got it down to below 80 kg. This stayed for a while, but then 3-4 years later I was up to 114 kg (maybe COVID had some impact). Now I'm down to about 94 kg, 8 kg till normal weight, but I'm more worried about my body fat. I think I'm gonna have to go below 80 kg.

>>75007048
I personally think its best to get into the midpoint of normal bmi, maintain for a month or two, then bulk up slowly and finally cut again. Having some muscle mass helps to bring TDEE up which is a necessity with how shit american food is. Im fairly muscular, lift, and do cardio and even I get fat if I freely eat american food. It may as well be heroin with how unhealthy and addictive it is. People may call that hyperbole, but look at how many people our food kills or atleast causes people to have shit quality of life.

I have my own family as an example of what can and will happen if I am fat in old age. It's not just mobility issues - they have a very noticeable cognitive decline either from the T2 diabetes, excessive fat causing inflammation, poor blood circulation, etc. My mind and my health are my most prized possessions and all my other riches in life (quality time with loved ones, financial success, enjoying hobbies) flow from it. It is about appearance but it's way more than that.

A question for a 40 yo with a BMI of 31. My plan is to start to eat better to loose fat and lift weight to avoid loosing too much muscle (bulking a bit only after getting to a reasonnable fat level). Noob at weightlifting. I'll be eating at calorie deifcit, so, do I need to modify my weightlifting program or can i run it normally (probably GZCLP, or a simple one like adviced)? I mean i have time and can increase load slowly, but is there someting else to do when you are on a calorie deficit? Longer sets etc? Or just go with the flow of a noob program?

Blog update.
I finished my very first 72hrs fast. I've done plenty of 48s in the past but I never pushed forward. I had absolutely no problems (outside of underestimating how much snek juice I needed) but today I had to walk around town a lot and absolutely hated how week I was feeling. I will do this again, but not often.
Mediterranean dinner was very tasty. I chose very filling stuff like liver and eggplant which was a massive mistake. I was already full with the side dishes, and I've waited some time before being able to start the liver. I will probably take a while to finish, which will take hrs from my next fast. Next time I'll choose more calorie dense food and greens.
Overall a good experience. I feel extremely thirsty which means I won't weight myself tomorrow. I fear a cataclismic shit brewing.

same, some long grain rice is nice sometimes, the other day i meal prepped some rice with chicken and a light sauce of parm and fat free cottage cheese, it was dope. greek yogurt with rice and some beef with spicy tomato sauce goes crazy too. but i only eat rice once every other week it gets boring fast.

>>75007705
What an impressively bad argument.

>>75008745
the absolute redpill is to cook the rice into the juices left in the tray or pan where you cooked something. Being on a diet there won't be too much fat to be left behind but you can make up with an extra ladle of stock. Kinda like a paella or a risotto. You need the proper rice grain tho

I am starting to feel the effects of my diet in a really intense way lately. I’ve been lifting/lowering my calories since November. I was fasting since before then. I was on 1500, reached a plateau, then went on 1400 as of last week. It’s starting to affect my energy, weightlifting, and overall mood to a degree that I don’t like the person I’m becoming. I am no where near my leanness goal at 156 (weighed in the morning), my height being 5’10”. I know there’s no helping it, but I feel like I am just wasting away before I get a chance to bulk/add lean mass. By all metrics I am succeeding; I look better and my weight loss is steady, but I just feel so awful. I know I need to keep going, but I just wanted to share.

>>75008868
The main place in question is the cafeteria at my workplace. If I get food from there then I can with through lunch and go home an hour earlier. If I leave to get lunch then I'll lose (optimistically) an hour a day, which is really rather not do. I could bring my lunch for now, but they're threatening to get rid of the fridges and microwaves soon.

>>75008912
just bring stuff that doesnt need refrigeration or heating like a sandwich or a wrap. or bring just a snack like a cereal bar or a small bag of low calorie chips and a banana, youll save calories on lunch and problem solved.

>>75008912
You can technically eyeball calories and try to eat intuitively but it's just going to be dieting on hardcore mode. Alternatively, if it's a buffet type cafeteria, you could just go on OMAD and decide that lunch is your only meal of the day. You won't be able to track your deficit but it's going to be hard for you to reach 2000kcals if you steer away from the wrong things. Anyway I'd suggest to stomp your feet and keep bringing lunch from home.

>>75008911
Eat at mainentance at week, it helps a lot with this.

>>75008911
Dude youre not gonna get shredded if youre already 156 at 5'10. Youre gonna end up with a gut and emaciated arms. Its time to bulk back up cleanly to 180 or so over 4-6 months, then make another run back to 155.

>>75008883
I want to lose weight faster.

>>75008946
I’m going to give it a shot on Monday. It’s been a while so I need to hit up sailrabbit.
>>75008972
Wouldn’t this just be adding fat to the fat I already have? I’m not against this at all, mind you, in fact I’m probably looking for an excuse to lean bulk.

>>75008174
>How many fatties do you know in high IQ careers? Do you know anyone in a high IQ career?

Bruh the halo effect is just people being retards, IQ has nothing to do with it. All the more reason to stop being a lardass but being thin doesn't make you smarter, it just makes people PERCEIVE you as smarter

>>75008193
You probably won't have to eat a week near maintenance, just like two days or so. Are you getting chills, fatigue, brain fog?

Fuck bros, I got Covid a few days ago but didn’t want to stop my daily exercise. First couple of times were alright, and it cleared up my congestion, but today was hell. Could barely jog and had to settle for walking most of the daily 3 miles I do.

>>75008991
Post body or at least a good bf%. You may be percieving yourself as worse than you really are. For some people it's really hard to shed that last bit of love handles or pouch, and if you feel like you're hurting yourself for trying it's probably not the case. It might also be loose skin, or you might just have very little muscles.

>>75009024
>You may be percieving yourself as worse than you really are.
This is what im thinking. When I posted on /fat/ regularly I got down to 157 5'10 from 260 lb. The process really did my head in and it became hard to properly ascertain my physical state. I wasn't depressed mind you, but I didn't realize just how good for shape I was in.

>For some people it's really hard to shed that last bit of love handles
for me it was the lovehandles.

>you might just have very little muscles.
I suspect it may be the case for him. If he's 157lb at that height and still has a bit of a belly, he's going to need to put on some muscle before he can get thinner in a way thats healthy.

>Post body
Not a bad idea imo. Im sure he's fine. I remember a year ago people posted body here regularly and most people were very intelligent about their feedback.

>>75007401
Even though I’ve lost 50 pounds already, I have none. I just forced myself to eat twice a day for a few days so that it’d become routine, and did the same with walking.
I still have no motivation but go work out an hour a day every day. At this point the inly thing driving me forward is that I would feel like I wasted time and effort if I gain weight back.

>>75007401
I want to look in the mirror and go ''Damn I look good!''. And I want to feel more comfortable in my body. When I was at my fattest all clothes felt uncomfortable and it was annoying to bend over with a fat belly etc. I've gotten plenty of sex as a fatty but the quality of sex and confidence will improve massively as weight go down.

Same anon as >>75009048

>Wouldn’t this just be adding fat to the fat I already have? I’m not against this at all, mind you, in fact I’m probably looking for an excuse to lean bulk.
Yes a little bit. You want to shoot for an even ratio of fat to muscle gained. You'll look better by the end of it, your metabolism wont be crushed by the dieting and youll have more muscle to add to your metabolism, making the weight loss easier. Hell you'll even look better than you did at the same weight. Consider this your excuse to lean bulk. Bulking was the best thing I did. Really helped my mental state. Made me more accepting of my body too. I look wayyyy better now too. Like I actually lift.

>>75003777
Good luck confesión? Sadly I am doing dry fasting so nothing to confess here

This is from just now, I tried not to flex anything to give a more accurate representation. My main concern is the small apron of fat near my belly button.

WAGMI, even you anon, especially you.

>>75009082
What was your starting weight for this cut and how long have you been cutting?

>>75003684
I'm completely new to actively trying to lose weight (although I have slowly been losing weight thanks to me taking my dog on walks and shit) and am at 254 lbs right now, and I have to know - when do you stop feeling so fucking hungry? I portion my food and eat what is obstensibly a normal amount and I still want to eat at least 2x more. Is this just how it is being fat? Does it get easier or do you just learn to live with it?

>>75009082
You look good brother. That's mostly some bad loose skin. You're not going to get rid of it easily, I've read a thousand methods but I'm not sure which one would work. I'd say to start lean bulking to fill up that pouch with abs.

>>75009096
So, it mainly “clicked” for me around 2022, where I was strict with calories in/out. I wasn’t exercising. I started incorporating exercise around November of last year. My starting weight was about 219.
>>75009102
I appreciate that man. I heard another anon recommend that to someone else as well.

>>75008883
This is what I did but bigger deficit
ate around 1.8k kcals, walked 1.5 hours a day, roughly 12500 steps and have been losing 1 kg a week consistently since 150 kgs, now at 87. Adjusted a calories a few times obviously but always kept protein higher

>>75009131
Damn dude that's a long fucking diet, but congrats on the results. You'll feel amazing in the gym once you start eating a slight surplus ie 250-500

>>75009099
Post what you ate yesterday and anons will give you feedback on how to make it more filling. It took me months after I started tracking calories to zero in on my mistakes and make my food very satiating and healthy

>>75009155
This has been a lifelong battle, unfortunately. On the plus side, it has always been a downward trend weight wise. I am really looking forward to my lean bulk.

>>75009009
good job but dont die bro

First of all, you look strong. Congrats. I also have some loose skin. Best way to address that is to bulk back up a bit. Do exercises that target the obliques, abs, and lower back. Sideways medicine ball throws, hanging leg raises, deadlifts without a belt. Thisll fill your abdominal region and lower back out, stretching the skin back into place. Thats whats helped me out. I dont have as tight a waist now, but the belly skin got stretched out. Here I am after my first bulk and halway through the subsequent cut. Also my starting point on the left. Honestly bro, we're both ready for the beach.

>>75009099
Don't confuse hunger with stress eating. Some slight hunger is the price to pay to lose weight, the urge to stress eat will get better if you stay consistent. As the other anon said the key is cooking delicious stuff that fills you up and satisfy you.

>>75009181
Yeah. I felt awful today and might skip tomorrow if I still feel bad.

>>75009196
Holy shit, that is insane progress. I am currently doing hanging leg raises, but I will definitely incorporate that other stuff. I stopped doing DLs in the middle of my progression because I was getting so gassed, so I was saving them for my bulk-up. I appreciate the advice man

>>75008883
I'm 1 kg every 6 days. I wanted to be borderline underweight and lose 28.3 kg, so that's about 170 days, a bit under 6 months. At your rate it would take me about 13 months.

>>75007132
Midpoint of normal BMI is very far. At my current body fat estimate I would have to be sub 9% body fat. Based on the current estimate even if I lost 5 kg of non-fat mass like muscle I would still be 15% body fat if I were in the mid point if my BMI range.

The estimate could of course be wrong, but my plan that I'm back on track with is to lift all the way there. 21.7 BMI send like it's going to take years to reach though unless I stop exercising or start fasting

>>75009220
Took me 4 years bro. Glad you made it quicker than I did. You just havent realized it yet.

>>75009220
I also stopped deadlifting while losing the weight btw. So happy to be doing them again. Cant wait to do some once im done training shoulders today.

>>75009237
The major lifts are really humbling when you’re on a major calorie limit. I knew if I tried to go hard without enough fuel, I would tweak/injure something, and not have enough energy to fuel recovery. I’m going to focus on strength when the bull starts and get back into it.

>>75004241
the r/loseit crowd are a bunch of faggots. They don't want to make any sacrifice and God forbid if you tell them to just go lifting

>>75009258
I literally cut out all compound lifts other than bench press for the majority of the years I cut in leiu of isolation work with loooong rest periods. Pro-tip: Presses are the first thing you'll lose strength in during a cut due to worse leverages from the lack of fat and glycogen depletion. If youre not doing them, nows the time to start again. Also, dont bodybuild. Its awful for your mental health. Definitely do the bodybuilding training, but try to make the goal performance in a sport or martial art. You want your goal to be being the best you can be and having fun, not to try to fix yourself anymore.

>>75009294
I’m currently doing them, but with dumb bells since it’s less dangerous to fail them solo. I’m definitely going to revisit the barbell. And that’s a great point- I just need to pick a sport to focus on

starving yourself is easier than counting calories

>>75009385
counting and logging calories is a humiliation ritual
literally just fast

>>75009401
can't really trust calories can you?
i'm doing omad currently and also i-dont-wanna-cook, so last two days has been 200g pasta (200g uncooked) with tomato pesto. should land me around 900-1000 calories, but seeing the plate with so much pasta made me call bs. today i cut the portion down by 30% or so, and i feel like i'm in a calorie deficit now unlike yesterday

>>75009385
or you could just eat what you're meant to -> animal products and never be hungry and lose weight doing it

>>75009463
i don't mind hunger, makes me feel something

>>75009479
Calm down, Sirus

have a feeling i'll end up with loose skin on my thighs and stomach. really dreading it. i just know that if that happens i'll lose all control and just regain everything i've lost so far since there's no point in being thin if i'll never be able to be naked in front of someone else. 15lbs left to finally see the truth

it wouldn't be /fit/ without fad diet retards, quick results seeking retards, and food monomania retards

>>75009489
you could always save up for surgergy

>lost 1 week of below maintenance by overeating the past 2 days
As usual..

>>75009769
doesnt work that way but ok

>>75009775
It does, /fit/ said so.
Easier to gain than to lose fat.

>>75009489
You sound that you already decided consciously that you want to become a fatty again. Why else would you care that much? Why else would you make these nihilist comments 15lbs away from your goal?

>>75009781
not true, its dependant on what you eat
2 examples:
if you eat too much sugar/carbs which your body cant process, you'll be store more fat
if you eat low enough sugar/carbs to get into ketosis, you'll start using up your fat instead of the glycogen in your muscles/liver

>>75009789
idk, maybe i do. losing weight so far hasn't led to any improvements in life. if i end up with loose skin then i'll just accept my fate as a fatty forever

>>75009789
>Why else would you make these nihilist comments 15lbs away from your goal?
Weight loss can really fuck someone's mental state. Both the process and not being able to accept the changes to your body. We should be a little more understanding.

>>75009809
>losing weight so far hasn't led to any improvements in life
thats the hard part. taking the first step to making changes to our lives after the weight loss. after that first step, you'll see how much easier it is when the wind is at your back.

>>75009815
His mental state seems particularly fucked tho. Maybe he should ask for help irl. I can compliment him for his progress on weight loss but not fix his unjustified terror of it being useless

>>75009845
>His mental state seems particularly fucked tho. Maybe he should ask for help irl. I can compliment him for his progress on weight loss but not fix his unjustified terror of it being useless
You're right man, but a lot of people come here because they have no one to lean on for such a personal struggle. A lot of us have no one we're close to.

>>75009859
I think the fear of developing visible loose skin by losing 15 pounds is completely irrational and the dude needs to hear the truth, I'm sorry.

>>75009869
I agree

>>75009769
What were you eating?

>>75009196
does it help if you do those workouts when youre just starting with fatloss? will it make any loose skin better when youre near target weight or does it not matter? wondering if i should be proactive, i just started and im about 1 year off from target weight.

>>75009936
>does it help if you do those workouts when youre just starting with fatloss? will it make any loose skin better when youre near target weight or does it not matter? wondering if i should be proactive, i just started and im about 1 year off from target weight.
Honestly, I don't know. I did lift the entire 4 years though. Sometimes I focused on losing weight more, sometimes I focused on lifting more. Every 40 or so pounds lost, I'd let myself bulk up 15 pounds then repeated. I think if you just do your best, eat right, and get in the gym consistently things will work out in the long term.

>>75009947
>get in the gym consistently
Thing is I cant afford the gym atm, I have a bike machine at home that has some resistance settings and also moving arm bars, so atm i use that 20-30mins a day on max resistance, and i have some adjustable dumbells that i do some standard arm, back, core and leg workouts (planks, squats, biceps, triceps, lats etc).

>>75009924
Baked potatoes and bacon, cola on the first day.
2 servings of steak, cola on the 2nd, these on top of my normal 3 meals.

>>75009970
I got that physique almost entirely from kensui adjustable dumbells. Only other thing I used until recently was a smith machine for bench press. I did do a lot of compound lifts the first 8 months or so, but it was really the dumbells that did the work. The bike machine is also amazing.

>>75009975
this is the workout plan i do with dumbells, they are adjustable up to 10kg. atm as im a total beginner and havent done anything other than sit at my pc for the last 3 years im doing 5kg.

>>75009984
Most of that is good, but buy a bench. Floor press sucks. Swap floor press for dumbell bench press and the close grip bench press for dumbell flies or incline bench press. swap the plank for crunches, ideally while holding a dumbell as you get stronger. swap reverse fly with lateral raises or dumbell upright row.

>>75009997
yeah i fucking hate having to use the floor, maybe i should get a bench from amazon one that folds up and can support my fat ass. thanks dude didnt think of that.
