>Who is /fat/ for?
For the pompously plump who are working towards a longer life and a better physique through meaningful hard-work, strategy, and dedication. This is not QTDDTOT, stick to questions on fat loss. Post height and weight when asking for advice.
Join our Fatty Contest: https://www.fattycontest.com/

>What do I do first?
1. Read https://physiqonomics.com/fat-loss/
2. Calculate your Body Fat Percentage: https://fitness.bizcalcs.com/Calculator.asp?Calc=Body-Fat-Navy
3. Calculate your TDEE: https://www.sailrabbit.com/bmr/
Remember to use bodyfat% and use Katch-McArdle Formula with sedentary settings or your TDEE will be too high.
4. Plan your weight loss: https://www.losertown.org/eats/cal.php
5. Track your nutrition with MyFitnessPal (better for packaged food), Cronometer (better for generic food/macros) or LoseIt (great for both).

>Now what?
Count calories, all of them.
Eat about 500-1000 less calories than your TDEE.
Buy scales, be accurate.
Learn to cook. Try to stick to lean protein and green vegetables.
Eat a lot of protein. 0.72g per pound of goal lean body mass.
Doing cardio, even just walking, will improve your health. There is no such thing as a healthy fat heart, but you can offset the risks.
Lifting weights will keep and gain muscle mass and burn fat much quicker. No lifting results in the body burning away muscle AND fat.
Drink more water.
Read the /fit/ sticky: https://liamrosen.com/fitness.html

>DON'T
Eat refined sugars, they're terrible for you regardless of calories.
Eat processed foods.
Drink your calories (alcohol, soda, Starbucks).
Freak out over a weight loss stall. Plateaus can last up to three weeks.
"Reward" yourself. Cheat days cheat only yourself.

Is /fast/ as much of a meme as keto is when you stop fasting? Like, if I fast for a week, but then eat 1000 calories below my current TDEE, will most of the fast weight come back immediately despite eating below TDEE cause I broke the "streak?"

the thing is to learn how to eat healthily and in reasonable quantities so you dont bounce back way up once you stop.
I fell off the /fast/wagon some weeks back, ate with my new habits (a lot more veg and protein, a LOT less carbs) and my weight has been pretty stable over time, which I4m pretty happy about (kinda compensates for not loosing weight but I know it's my fault)

neither fasting nor keto are memes, they both work via cico

they also deplete your glycogen, so you will gain some water weight back if you consume carbs again, but wouldn't gain the fat you burned if you ate less than your expenditure

fasting for long periods also completely empties your insides, so whatever broke your fast will seem to "add weight" no matter what.

why do you need an instruction manual for taking shits anon, anyway here's how

1. wait until you feel the need to shit
2. when you do, sit in a toilet
3. use appropriate force, if you need to use too much you went too soon
4. wipe
5. optional but recommended: wash your ass in the shower

Lads, I lost. My mom brought me a bag of chips about 5 weeks ago. I set it aside and ignored it. A week ago she brought more. I succumbed to the desire and ate one bag.
It didn't break my daily calories or anything (it's about 500 kcal for the bag), but I just feel bad that I gave in. I also made the mistake of opening the second one, but only ate a few chips from there.

I also don't feel great now. Somehow the chips don't have a good effect on my body (maybe it's the saltiness).
>>
>>75019404
You didnt lose
You still have 6 days left to offset the extra calories you ate today
Also get rid of the chips, I've had instances of ordering 2-3 pizzas before just because I was hungry and ended up throwing away the rest after finishing the first

I can't throw away food. I'm not rich enough for that. It's just 600 kcal. The offset is going to happen today. I'll just eat less of other stuff. The loss is about giving in to temptation... And to make conversation here.

Oh, btw I’m eating 180g protein a day, 75g healthy fats (real olive oil, butter, or tallow), then backfilling with carbs until I hit between 1800-2000 calories. High volume, lots of fiber, most carbs coming from fresh or frozen vegetables. I don’t eat any processed carbs outside of special occasions, I don’t use whey/protein bars unless I don’t have time to cook meat, I take vitamins to make sure I’m hitting my micros as well as macros. This is not “I’m fat and can’t help it”, this is a goal that I’m working towards. I get the sentiment, but fuck off if your opinion is “just eat less fatty” cuz I’m already there lol. Btw, the weights coming off nicely, progress is fine, I just want to maximize gains past the point my body naturally can

how much is too much when it comes to a calorie deficit? i see that 1000 is the high end listed in the "Now What?" section (which would put me at 1,523 calories daily) - is this fine to do? ive been fat my entire life so i have no idea whats a normal amount of food to eat.

>>75020782
Rule of thumb is 1500 daily cal is the floor for guys, so you should be good.
Make sure you get at least 80-100g of protein.
>>
>>75020782
just eat less for a couple of weeks, if you're losing at a good rate continue, if you want to lose faster/slower eat less/more

>>75020788
>1500 daily cal is the floor for guys
why would you make shit up
>>
>>75020782
it really depends on individual response. some people get really fucked up from low calories, some feel completely fine
i hear the main problem with lower calories is that you might not get enough micronutrients with such a reduced intake but i've done 1000-1200cal for like 4 months before and never had any problems.
>>
>>75020782
I don't think there's a right answer. High deficit is faster and better to train willpower. Low deficit is easier and you're less likely to rebound after you're done. You could try a mix of the two depending on how you feel that day.

additional question (not for anyone i replied to just any anon) - how long does it take for the hunger pains to get better? that's really been the only thing thats been fucking me up but i figure my body has to figure out its not gonna eat a metric fuckload of food anymore eventually right

Fasting the day before and/or the day after grabbing some slop with the boys is my go-to

>>75020888
When I first got serious about a calorie deficit, it took about a month to stop constantly thinking about food. Find tons of distractions to make it easier. Lifting autistically worked well for me. Also, If I wanted a little treat I forced myself to go walk around town for at least an hour before I could have it and that walk usually killed the craving. Good luck, fren! I’m rooting for ya

>If you've been fat your entire life, you are grossly underestimating how much fat you have and overestimating how much muscle you have.

God this is so true. I think for me, it's not so much about focusing on my long term lean weight goal. It's getting to a point where I can look decent, eat maintenance, and lift more. And then once I'm at that point for a while, I'll cut down again. But going from peak fatness to ideal leanness in one go is asking a lot imo.

Suicide cut update started on Aug 6:
242lb at start
waist at biggest: 42.5 inches
Neck at smallest: 17 inches
Navy method gives me 28.2%

225 as of now
waist at biggest 38.75 inches
Neck at smallest: 17 inches
Navy method now gives 22.2%

I'd say by looks I'm around 26% actually but I'd probably need calipers or a dexa to be sure.
But I've lost almost 4 inches around the biggest part of my stomach.
Gonna break the suicide cut on labor day, spend a week at my new maintenance and then either maintain around 220 or try one last hard cut to 200.
I had about one free meal a week for around 3000kcal but besides that I've been on 1000kcal a day.

I'm 5'9 and my current weight is 226. Started my diet almost 4 weeks ago at 250 pounds. I've eaten the same thing since the start
Breakfast
>Cup of spinach
>2 slices of air fried Bacon to a crisp
>2 Hardboiled egg whites only
>1 slice of thin Daves bread
>1 serving of yogurt (15 grams of protein)
Lunch/Dinner
>Frozen high protein meal (40-50grams protein & 400-550 calories)
>Cup of spinach
I also take a multivitamin and fish oil. I consistently do a 1-2 mile brisk walk. I only drink water on Sundays no food till breakfast on Monday. I feel fine with the 1k calorie limit but I'm worried I might fuck up something. Should I diversify or up my calories?

Not bad, but you need to figure out what you're going to do to prevent losing muscle mass.
Are you getting enough proteins in your diet? Are you planning to start working out soon?
It's hard to go through rapid weight loss without also losing muscle, so if that matters to you, it could make sense to lower your calorie deficit significantly. It'll take longer to reach your goal weight, but your body might be in better shape when you do.
>>
>>75022838

Once again, getting more food for a certain amount of money is not punishment or reward. It is simply a transaction between you and the vendor. Nothing the vendor did requires you to overeat.

Popcorn is incredibly filling for its calorie content, even if you are reasonably generous with oil and even butter it up.
The later your first meal of the day, the easier it is to keep your daily calorie intake low.
Boiled eggs are very filling, low calorie, and have great macros.
Plain black coffee is great at curbing hunger.
Crackers with chicken liver pate are a very decent snack with a good volume to calorie when you're craving something savory.
Eating slower and chewing more allows the same amount of food fill you better.
Drinking your calories is fine, if it's in a form of a hot sweet milk-tea or something similarly nutritious. If it takes a relatively long time to consume, it can be surprisingly filling for the amount of calories it has.
There are mushrooms that have fairly strong taste, have a decent volume after cooking them, and barely have any calories.
Wholegrain pasta tastes pretty much identical to regular pasta, but has slightly less calories and fills you up slightly better. It tends to be more expensive, though.
Finding ways of being conservative with oils without ruining the taste helps cut down calories in many dishes for essentially free. Don't allow your toast to absorb a bunch of oil/butter, toss your diced meat in small amount of oil instead of putting a larger amount of oil in a pan, etc.
>>
>>75019073
Everything that makes you eat less works, fasting is just mentally difficult to wrap your head around for people it seems like. If you're already dieting and losing weight fasting is a good supplement to speed it up.

What I've seen trip people with fasting is the tendency to get a bit of an ego about it and feel like you did something incredible so it's something to celebrate, which leads people into huge feasts and celebratory "breaking" of the fast by eating something ridiculous. As long as you stay in your lane and keep up moderation, basically just go straight back to dieting after your fast, instead of a huge barbecue with the boys, it's good. Frankly, most fat people have a lot of insulin resistance and just normal dieting takes months and months to slowly fix that while fasting will do it very quickly. If you're not struggling with diet and know that you won't yo-yo and eat crazy feasts, there are big benefits to fasting. If it's the only thing you're doing you're kind of doomed and it's not because fasting doesn't work, it's just mentally very tempting not be consistent since it's so powerful, "who cares about a little cheat day, I can just fast one extra day"etc.

>Popcorn is incredibly filling for its calorie content, even if you are reasonably generous with oil and even butter it up.

I thought that, based on 2000's meme diets some celebrities did, but did the calculations and at least for me, I could easily eat 800kcal of pop-corn without it making me full long term and that's with no added butter, just plain. Cottage cheese on the other hand makes me almost sickly full with just 300kcal. I also don't mind scarfing down something bland, not everything has to be delicious.

>Plain black coffee is great at curbing hunger.

I did the opposite, stopped caffeine altogether since while it curbed hunger when I drank it, it made all my other cravings severely stronger during the rest of the day. It took two months of getting used to but, it's been worth it easily.

>Boiled eggs are very filling, low calorie, and have great macros.
this is great
>>
>>75023907
>The constipation is annoying
Constipation can be caused by a variety of factors.
If it's bothering you, seeing a doctor about it can unironically be a good idea.

You can also try doing the reverse and completely excluding fiber (or even better - all carbs) out of your diet for a week or so simply to decrease the pressure building up in your intestines.
>>
>>75023909
>I also don't mind scarfing down something bland, not everything has to be delicious.
cottage cheese can be delicious, i add lime, chives, spring onions, tiny bit of salt, and it's just as good or even better than the sour cream based dip that gave many of my extra kilos

I'm kind of on that grindset that the vast majority of what I eat shouldn't be delicious, the obsession with only eating delicious things is what got me fat in the first place and also keeps up cravings since you're constantly validating them. Food is food and not entertainment, if you get that into your brain you won't crave things so much. The cravings become occasional fantasies that are easy to keep just as thoughts instead of actionable plans to acquire something like a big bowl of pasta.

>>75023950
It's biologically impossible for you to get constipated if you don't eat fiber.
You can fully digest animal-based food given enough time. That's not the same for fiber.
It's good for you intestine to have consistent and stable access to fiber because your gut microbiome needs it and because circulating waste is generally good, but fiber is the only thing that can cause constipation.
>>
>>75024008
I do that sometimes, but it's hard to keep doing it if you have a life (and are obese).
I get too weak during the fast to do much, liquid shit persist until day 5 or 6, so rolling 72s for example mean you're always in the liquid shit phase. Also a lot of effort is spent on resisting, which has to come from somewhere. My life is already effortful so fasting means I'm unable to do something else like studying nearly as well. I've heard some people don't feel weak during their fasts, but that's never been me other than on very short ones like 24 hours.
>>
>>75023729
>I do snack throughout the day but it shouldnt cause this
Even a cookie could be 300 calories. 300 calories is an entire hour power walking, or about 3 hours just existing roughly speaking. Most people would only need to eat about 8 cookies to meet their tdee.
It's trivial to eat an entire days worth of calories by snacking without even knowing that you're doing it.
It's way easier to just not eat that cookie than it is to walk an hour for each cookie you ate.

I think it's an advantage that makes it easier to eat healthy foods and eat in moderation.

This is more of a psychological perspective, but anything that brings you pleasure is reinforced and so you're likelier to do it again. This is why we have cravings, you had to learn them from having pleasurable experiences. This is the same with sex (porn), the same with video games, the same with drugs of abuse. Stronger enjoyment (dopamine) means stronger want to do it again (reinforcement) and stronger disturbances in your mind telling you to go do it again (cravings).
It's the same with food, the brain system is generic for every kind of dopamine derived pleasure activity, even to the point that being addicted to something, makes you more vulnerable to being addicted to something completely different.
Assumption is that obese people are addicted to food or drinks like soda, I think that's fair. Then you treat it like any other addiction, with the caveat that the goal isn't zero consumption, but moderate consumption. The way you become less addicted is by weakening the stimulation over time, with food it means eating less tasty food. Your "pleasure system" will habituate to this new level of stimulation and you won't crave the old extra-stimulation. Cultures that aren't highly stimulating food-wise would have an advantage because people wouldn't find themselves in this mess to begin with.

What's also important is that dopamine is a limited resource and it's easy to run out each day. Eating less delicious food is not robbing you of anything, it's just keeping your baseline dopamine higher so you can use it for other things.

disordered eating part 2, on the plus side it seems like even 2700 kcal is below my maintenance which is unexpected and i feel full so god damn fast i need to have 3-4 meals a day, if i skip one i feel sick from eating
coming from 170+ kg, this is fucking crazy
energy levels are down the drain though but my hunger/appetite is too which is even more odd

I'm 5'8'' too, I was practically a skelly at 145lbs, then I started lifting and I finally look normal at 165 lbs now.

Do you have literally ZERO muscle mass? kek

My fellow /fat/s.

When you "make it", enjoy it. Savor it and celebrate.

...But then as the fanfare dies down, stop to think about why you were able to do it. What worked and why? Would it work for someone else? Was it a personal quirk? Was there luck? How do you maintain? Tally up information about what your life was like, write it down. What were your relationships like? Did you get help from someone? Did you have a plan for when you faltered? Did you not even need on? Analyze what happened between the time you were fat and not, as time will erase that story.

Why I ask this of you is because I failed to do so. I was a fat kid, I dreamed of losing weight but couldn't do it. I was obese until age 17 and then something clicked. I lost weight easily and by the time I was 19 I had lost 70 pounds. No loose skin, toned body, epitome of health. I had a twink birth. I lived like that for 2 years.

...But then I gained it all back. I gained it all and then some. I was deluded, I "knew" I could lose it again since I'd done it before so the number on the scale did not phase me, I wasn't vigilant. Now heftier than ever, with stretch marks all over, I tried again with full force, and failed, I could not do it again. I tried new things, I tried old things, I realized I had lost the recipe, the secret sauce to lose weight. The reasons for losing weight successfully hadn't been the ones I thought, the ones I was so sure of. It wasn't my special diet, it was the people around me. It was my mindset and goals that kept me on the straight and narrow...and they've gone now, things are different and so am I.

These days, I'm losing weight again, but the recipe is new. It had to be new since I lost the old one. It took me 4 years of toil to get here and it shouldn't have. I had it once, I could do it once more... if only I understood why it worked in the first place. Heck, maybe I would have noticed when my grip started to slip and I wouldn't have even gained all the weight back.

If you're carrying a lot of water/bloat with you I recommend some legit cardio/workout that makes you sweat a lot and sleeping a lot.
That seems to do the trick for me.

been making really good progress past few months, from my peak of 76kg. I've been aiming for 69kg before I start getting serious about muscle gain. I still have some body fat which I want to lose, do you think I should be aiming for 65kg instead?
I took a break from couch to 5k this week because my knee has been hurting and I've still hovered around 71kg despite eating a little unhealthy which has been good.

This isn't the way to encourage him man. It's clear that every 3 months he makes a good effort and 10-15 pounds just slip off. The question he should be asking is what goes wrong at week 2.

Let's be productive here.

Was gonna fast yesterday, but had 400grams of lean protein, so im not too sad. Gonna try to fast today and maybe test out carnivore for a week or two just to launch me further down the deficit. Been stuck on 90kg for too long...

Cardio gains have gone through the roof, but my diet is fucked because of alcohol and poor decisions. Feels kinda lame to admit, but it's hard to stay strong when you feel emotinally void. In a way im no different to fast food niggas.

You can choose to recomp by lifting hard and eating hard. Or you can cut to 150 lbs or so to hopefully totally lose your love handles - to not look like a skellington, you will have to then bulk very slowly to avoid regaining big love handles

Weight loss is 90% diet

>>75025473
4 years ago I lost 20%ish of my body weight in 4 week by doing 4+ hours of hard cardio a day.
>>
>>75025606
Possible, but not exactly healthy or sustainable.
"Not exactly healthy" even compared to staying 25% fatter, as for quite a few people this level of exercise carries unironic risks of having a heart attack.
>>
>>75025621
Yeah, I spent most of my days in bed being so exhausted. I had to eat extra meals otherwise I would have zero energy to do anything let alone running/cycling. In the end I crashed hard and over a year put the weight back on.

I went to the gym first time in ages and gave squats a go for the first time. Tried to find my max weight I could lift for five reps.

>>75025606
You can also do that with just swimming in cold water, which is not nearly as hard to do. Not ice cold water since you can't be there for long, olympic swimming pool and swim there leisurely for however you can take it and you'll have lost a lot of calories. Michael Phelps famously had to eat 10 000 kcal during his training as an olympic swimmer to not lose weight while training 6 hours a day. Other olympic endurance athletes would only need 3000 to 4000 kcal. The difference comes from being in cold water, your body has to keep up its temperature and that's going to take a lot of energy.

Body-heat is a huge sink for calories. For a 220 lb person, generating 1 degree celsius of body heat for the whole body would take 100 kcal. Olympic swimming pools are 10C below your body heat, colder pools even more so. Water also conducts heat better than air, so you're constantly leeching heat and have to generate extra, in turn spending a lot of calories. Just by treading water and not moving, you're spending around 500 kcal extra per hour (again, for a 220 lb person, also might be inaccurate, I used an online calculator), any cardio you do on top of that is extra.

I was a fat kid and there was a swimming camp meant for fat kids, looking back on it I really wish I took the opportunity since it would actually have worked so well.

6'2" at 150lbs is gonna look like an unhealthy skeleton, start lifting weights and eating protein, i'd work on muscle gain first before focusing on fat loss, once you build foundational strength and learn the lifting skills you can introduce a deficit and start cutting
>>75025457
get the hernia fixed asap, will most likely require surgery but better to get it over quickly and get back to being /fit/

Yes, it's rare. The only other people as fat as me I know (350 lb 6'3) are a guy I saw in the hospital and my dad's late friend I saw maybe once. I have not seen a single 300+ pound person in the University I go to and it's a big one.

I commend you for pushing through, though. It's impressive.
I recon a big part of you eventually rebounding is a lack of food discipline you ended up with due to brute forcing your way through.
You'd think
>I had to work THIS hard THIS long
be a good deterrent from allowing yourself to grow fatter but it turns out people are very bad at remembering how hard was the stuff they had to go through once it's over.

You can make it, anon. Just make it 70% and 30% exercise instead.

Trying to get it done. Went to the emergency room and they said it should be fine. So now I've signed up with a doctor which will take 4 weeks to get processed then I will have to book an appointment. If I do anything that isn't walking I'm in a lot of pain.
>>
>>75025781
Damn dude, that sucks. Do you try to do damage control on your binges or do you just say fuck it and go wild? Personally I'm able to do damage control and keep things lower than I would have in the past, but as an ex-drinker I know how hard it is to be in control with something once you're in the moment.
>>
>>75025828
nah, i go fuck it and just eat 5-6k calories. once my binging kicks in I lose all control

Yeah, what also didn't help was I started this awful office job that had me working to 3am regularly.
>>
>>75025781
>2 weeks of progress straight up lost in one day
It's water weight (unless you were at 500 kcal/day deficit and ate 10k kcal on your binge). At most you've lost a couple of days worth of progress.
Doesn't make it any less stupid but not a reason to despair either.

It's fucked up that the best weight-loss exercise is locked behind going to the swimming pool as a fat ass.

I lost 13 kgs (down from 123) and I didn't change visually whatsoever.

15 pounds in 2 weeks is bound to have fat loss too - he's making a good effort each time.
Either way, the goal should be to encourage him to self reflect not insult him. Gaining weight despite trying probably means he has stress eating issues, your rudeness has probably already led to him binging something.

6'2" 150 lbs is skeletontier, yes. But if the goal is to reduce love handles, I find it easier to reduce them entirely by going to skeleton tier then clean bulking.

Should I weigh myself every day or week? Just started this.

>>75026243
Every hour
>>
>>75026243
out of the two, every week. Otherwise your water weight fluctuations are gonna drive you crazy
>>
>>75026243
Every week is good.
Daily will either be useless or fuck you up mentally since it sometimes goes up. It's not supposed to go down ever day, sometimes you take a big shit, sometimes you drink more water, it's supposed to fluctuate.
>>
>>75026243
Every morning dry weigh-in
But don't worry about the minutiae of water weight changes, it's just to track your progress more effectively. And seeing your weight suddenly skyrocket over a few days is much easier to comprehend as a result of excessive food than being a week late to the change. You might think that the week's change is more water weight than it actually might be.

i've been dieting and losing weight for 17 months now and my thoughts on this have changed over time. i used to only weigh once a week because i thought it would help me not focus on it all the time, however, now i weigh once a day.
1. having a measurement once a day helps give you a more accurate trend line. the overall trend line is what matters, not the individual weight numbers.
2. water weight fluctuations and weird plateaus happen. it's just a fact and part of this whole process. if you happen to be holding more water the day you weigh in for the week, and you look like you either lost nothing, or gained weight, it can be crushing and really disheartening, and you won't have another weight to compare it to for another 7 days. by weighing in every day, you avoid this and it's one of the main reasons i switched to daily.
but in the end, do what works for you and makes you comfortable and helps you stick to your weight loss goals.
