Who is /fat/ for?
For fatties 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 diseased heart, but you can offset the risks.
Lifting weights will keep and gain muscle mass and lose fat much quicker. No lifting results in the body eating 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 carbohydrates.
Eat processed foods.
Drink your carbohydrates(alcohol, soda, Starbucks).
Freak out over a weight loss stall. Plateaus can last up to three weeks.
"Reward" yourself. Cheat days cheat only yourself.

Ok I think I’ve hit a “plateau” but I’m not sure how. I’m 6ft 1in and weighed 280 pounds at the start of this. I cut my calories down to around 1200-1400 a day, even sometimes rounding up so I would be stricter with the number (so in my head I’ve ate 1300 that day but would be more like 1220). Today I weigh 263 pounds but in the last week I’ve apparently only lost 1/4 of a pound? Considering the calorie calculator tells me that extreme weight loss for my weight and height would be 1600 cals a day, I’m not sure what is happening. I’ll have to monitor this and see what the scales look like next week but I’m very confused. Is this a normal thing that can happen?

Quads looking juicy and thick. Checked.
Be careful about the "fuck it" attitude. You're right that one day in isolation isn't a big deal, or even a small deal. But "fuck it" can lead to overeating more than you want to, and can make it easier to say fuck it next time.
I think its fine, probably even a good idea, to take it easy on diet sometimes when hanging out with friends/family. But its also a good idea to plan around it rather than just winging it, so you don't end up binging. It's also good practice for being mindful about how you eat after you reach your goals, so you are less likely to backslide.

Yes, stalling can happen. Usually it doesn't last more than a couple weeks. If it's longer than that you likely need to change something.
I would say that you are likely in too steep of a deficit though. Try not to exceed a deficit of 1,000/day. I get the desire to get it over with, but its going to take time. Trying to speedrun it is more likely to lead to burn out, stalled progress and giving up.

No harm in trying it. If it works for you and gets the results you want, great. If it doesn't work or you can't get results, then you do something else. At the end of the day, the results are what matter.
We don't give ketobro a hard time because keto/carnivore/low-carb doesn't work—for a lot of people it works great. We only give him a hard time because he acts like that's the only thing that works.

Your brain needs fuel and your body will synthesize it out of other stuff if it can't get real sugar, but the transition into that process is rough and the entire diet is generally heavy on your liver.
Why do you want to cut out carbs?
>>
>>75470323
I've tried it before, and I lost a decent amount of weight, but that was years ago when I was younger and not feeling like shit every day.
>>75470330
Mostly a mental thing, I feel like I might find it easier to just cut them out entirely rather than try to watch my intake. It's easy to overeat with carbs, not so much with fat or protein.

Give it a shot then. It's fine. Nothing to lose, really. If it works for you, great. If it doesn't, well you aren't really any worse off than you were. Except now you know it's not an effective method for you anymore, so you try something else.

>It's easy to overeat with carbs, not so much with fat or protein.
Its still easy to overdo fat, be careful.
Other than that, I did do almost zero carb for a while, seems to really help with hunger, at least for me. If it works, it works. Also, do what gives you results, not what random schizo anons say in the underwater basket weaving forums.

>>75470403
>I guess I don't understand how you can keep doing "I'll start tomorrow" for two months.
It starts as "I'll start tomorrow" and then grows into "ok I gained to weight, but as soon as I start the diet again I will take me only X time to drop it." and then into trying not to think about it while ordering takeout.
>Do you do your own grocery shopping/cooking?
Yes
>>
>>75470403
Its called falling back into your old habits, so many Anons have done it they probably make up a majority. Its perhaps the single biggest pitfall to weight loss, you lose a good chunk of weight, you start feeling better, then your brain tells you "You've lost so much weight just treat yourself to a Hamburger and some fries today" or "I don't feel like cooking I'll just order a pizza" and then it tells you "its just for today/this week/this month" and the next thing you know you've regained some/all/even more than what you started at.

Your fatty brain will actively try to sabotage you, it wants to regain the weight back, it will trick you into thinking its no big deal, it will look for moments of weakness an feed you sophistry. This is why shortcuts are usually frowned upon, because part of losing the weight isn't just getting the lbs off, its keeping them off, building up the tolerance to your brain trying to fuck you.

You fat sad sack of shit. You cannot slow your metabolism. A Google search, JEWGGLE ITSELF, will tell you that. Best case to do so is taking the /fast/ and /totally sedentary/ pill. Like a damn snail or sloth or brumating reptile. A human can't do it for realz, we can only get extremely lazy and extremely restrictive.

So low IQ. Yeah, the CO in CICO is only variable based on exercise, weight, build and height. A complex organism can't have any variation beyond that. Not like there aren't thyroid-suppressive chemicals in food and water. Not like modern diets are so poor they lead to suppression of the thyroid. NO! Cos jewgle says that metabolism isn't variable! Stupid fucking kike nigger.
I guess you'd be calling me a ladder kicker (though I've never been truly FAT-FAT, at most 23-24% BF which is still fat IMO). I'm absolutely not. I've learned from my past fuck ups with crash dieting and am giving my opinion from hindsight.

So true, anon.
You should get your body studied.
Imagine - the first EVER living and breathing human being with actual metabolism swings of 1000 kcal as opposed to literally everyone's ~100 kcal at the extreme, which was confirmed by every single study ever attempted time and time again.
They'll probably give you a Nobel Prize just for existing.

I was wondering how useful lifting is as opposed to doing a sport (cardio boxing, mma) as I am struggling on strength program, platoueing left and right and I aint getting mass anyway. My diet is fine, I'm hitting macros and calory goals, losing fat, but thinking if some sport would be more fun and benefitial to getting me lean quicker and then I can return to gym for bulk or near end of the cut and start again.
Doing both takes too much time I dont have..
>>
>>75470766
I never tried to do sauna while fasted.
I also don't like the idea of accelerating your liquid circulation when you're already very likely to be circulating liquid rapidly.

That being said, a 72h fast mostly just leaves you a bit low on energy.
Just be ready to walk out if you feel dizzy, and you should be okay.
>>
>>75470808
Maintaining what lean mass you have or adding more is a good thing. Muscle is more metabolically active than fat—accounts for about 20% of TDEE while fat is only 5%. Adding a pound of muscle won't make a huge difference, I think like 16 cal/day increase in TDEE. Still, more muscle only helps.
None of that matters though if you can't consistently stick to a lifting program. If you just can't stand to be in the gym lifting 2-4x/week, then absolutely do something else that you can enjoy or tolerate enough to keep doing. Movement is life.
>>
>>75470659
I'm saying even that fucking bought and paid for jew will say no you can't lower your metabolism. I agree with >>75470790 you should be studied since you're different from every other human being.
>but the skinny POW died!
>but the skinny holobunga died!

First day of my fast and I'm so fuckin hungry already. I usually have 0 food in my house when I do these but I have some ramen packs and I'm almost certain I won't have the self-control to not eat one after my walk tonight.

Metabolisms don't exist, you both just outed yourselves are retards.
>>
>>75470870
There's actually 3 of us, and yes they absolutely do but disorders thereof are so rare they barely exist and are very hard to study. We can measure it by CO2 output actually, but like other guy said it's really only up or down by 100cal
>>
>>75470881
So you're saying if I deep cut, down to like 1000kcals a day I'll lose weight faster than if I eat the 1800kcals limit recommended by my TDEE? Because people were saying 'nnoooooo you'll fuck up your metabolism if you restrict calories too much!"

The fastest way to lose weight is just by not eating at all.
It's just not sustainable for most and has a bunch of caveats.
The same is true for more severe calorie deficits.

The thing most people attribute to "metabolism slowing down because of the calorie deficit" is a fairly consistent and observable drop in NEAT (Non-exercise activity thermogenesis).
NEAT is basically just you doing things with your body. Moving around, fidgeting, stretching, etc.
If you're low on energy, you are very much likely to subconsciously start limiting your movement. It affects deliberate activities - you'll feel lazier, you'll be more willing to take the elevator instead of the stairs, etc.
It also affects subconscious and semi-subconscious - you'll become less fidgety.
It might sound stupid, but NEAT, even excluding everything "walking" and the like, so if you're completely sedentary, can easily account for 300~500 kcal you burn per day.
Drop in NEAT, then, can result in you involuntary reducing your daily expenditure by anywhere from 100~300 kcal. The higher end of that is absolutely observable and is very common.

That's a lot of words, but in the end, if you account for your NEAT potentially dropping and counteracting it correspondingly (by forcing yourself to move more), yes a drop in calorie intake will correspond to a very consistent fat loss long-term.

I don't know, those results seem completely benign to me. You had something going on in 2016, but it got resolved a while back and seems unlikely to have anything to do with your current situation.
In your shoes, I'd try the supplement route.
If you can't finish your workout, use lighter weights. Yes, even if you used to lift more. Being stubborn won't help here.
If you can't maintain proper form for even a few reps, use lighter weights. If your sets after the first one are much harder, take longer rests between sets. I commonly rest 5 minutes between sets.
Try to do your sets in front of a mirror / a dark window at night, so you can see if what's in front of you matches your reference videos. If something hurts, don't force it. Take the time it takes to recover and heal. You don't gain strength on workout days, but on recovery days.
Are you eating enough proteins? Heck, for that matter, are you eating enough? If you're essentially at your goal weight already, you might consider switching to maintenance while loading up on proteins, it would make it quite a bit easier for your body to translate your workouts into gains.
>>
>>75469970
Plateaus happening in spite of a significance deficit means water retention. You're using up your glycogen and leaving behind water, and it will gradually build up and then "whoosh" over the course of a week or something when you suddenly drop 10 lbs. You can't really control when plateaus start or stop, except maybe by prolonged fasting.

No, it wasn't fulfilling. I would be surprised if anyone found something as simple as losing weight fulfilling for its own sake. What came after losing weight is a different matter.
For example, when I was fat I was invisible to my nieces and nephews because I never spent any time with them. I was just the fat lazy uncle that sat on the couch. I didn't have to be like that, but I was.
Now that I'm in good shape, I made an effort to interact with them, and now they are excited to see me. Always want me to pick them up and toss them on couches/into the pool, play catch, push them on swings, etc. That's the kind of shit that is actually fulfilling, and what makes weight loss and getting fit worthwhile.
>>
>>75471594
It'll go faster if you do prolonged fasts but it's miserable and you'll lose muscle mass. A linear half a kilo a week most likely isn't going to happen regardless though so it'll take longer than you estimate anyways.

I was losing 1 kg every 6 days. But what >>75471600 says is true. My body just doesn't want to give it up the lower it goes. Plateaus keep happening more frequently and lasting longer with the whooshes being far shorter. I've taken to prolonged fasting because I'm just sick of it at this point, it's mentally unsustainable. I have a goal date that's in less than 2 weeks and dammit I'll be there.

I'm thinking of going until I'm 2-3 kg less than my goal so that when I start to (carefully) refeed for a couple weeks, the regained weight will leave me around my goal.
>>
>>75471956
if you dont care about muscles, then just fast. cut as aggressively as you can physically and mentally sustain. thats the only reason i dont fast ; i dont want to lose muscle.

I don't care about muscle that much, at least not at this point. Even if I end my fast and refeed around 14% body fat (3-4% higher than what I would like), I can stay at maintenance and switch entirely to lifting which I've neglected for now. I had some muscle a couple years ago that I should be able to rebuild faster, and I should also be able to get some recomp in too, so I think I can work my way down to 10-11% over a couple months without changing my goal weight. I'll also be doing constant core training.

From there, I can choose to work my way back up with bulking and stop at the body type I find ideal. I'll have so much leeway before being overweight that I'm sure to find something I'm satisfied with.
>>
>>75471982
whats your goal and why? sounds like youre in a hurry
>>
I've gotten significantly less picky over the years, eg learning to eat sea food and dairy. So I make it a habit to try food I didnt used to like, like lentils and chickpeas.
Today I tried rye bread. It fucking sucks so much and I took 1000kcal of it to work. Still got two slices left, I want to finish it out of principle but its just slightly gross. On the one hand, this disproves ketoschizo, since eating carbs has curbed my hunger. On the other hand, it has completely vindicated ketoschizo's decision not to eat carbs. I will call it a draw and will find better ways to dab on him in the future.

Man, age 30
Height: 175 cm / 5'9"
Step 1 (current): Reach 18.5 BMI (56.65 kg / 124.9 lbs)
Step 2: Lifting + Toning + Core training at maintenance (until 10% body fat, also want to correct rib flare and rounded shoulders + posture)
Step 3: Bulking (open-ended goal)

I set a BMI goal because big muscles aren't the ideal where I'm going, BMI is typically the target for beauty there, but I'll adjust as necessary. I'll also have an excuse and buffer to overeat for a while.

2-3 years ago, I was 110+ kg / 240+ lbs, and I lost a lot of it in 2022, and was at my lowest of 72.5 kg / 160 lbs in the first half of 2023. I was back up to 85 kg / 187 lbs in June 2024, so I wanted to work it off. I told myself I would be done by the end of November based on both my track record when I actively worked hard at weight loss in 2022 (30 kg in 7 months with cheat days) and also because I didn't want to deal with cutting in December. After my first week-long fast ended 10 days ago, I was at 58.9 kg / 129.9 lbs, but I was really dehydrated and not supplementing enough. I realized in the week after the first fast that I was so burned out from trying to reach my goal for so long that I stopped caring about what I ate for a few days. So I decided to go back to fasting and get it over with, bulking hard on the final day with my weight being around 65.1 kg / 143.4 lbs. I'm currently 61.5 kg / 135.6 lbs, and I'm taking extra supplements and making sure I stay hydrated so the water and food weight gain at the end of the fast isn't as severe and I'm left around my goal after all is said and done. I'm wondering if I should let it fall all the way down to 53 kg, based solely on the whole "men should have up to 3.7 liters of water a day" thing, so that's a 3.7 kg buffer after refeeding.
>>
>>75472198
Also, if anyone has suggestions for food to avoid after a prolonged fast, I'd appreciate it. I have bone broth, soft-boiled eggs, and broccoli I can steam, and I intend to avoid carbs for a couple weeks. Once I get to more solid foods, I'm going to make a week's worth of skinless boneless chicken. I don't want to avoid carbs forever, but I'd like to gradually reintroduce them without gaining everything back. Just how much glycogen will my body store up?
>>
>>75472198
it sounds like you know what youre doing. but whats the hurry?
>>
>>75472255
Mental fatigue leading to burnout when I'm so close to the end of my goal. If weight loss was linear, it wouldn't be a problem, but I keep hitting plateaus now where nothing changes for at least 4 weeks, and I can't stand waiting to see if I've hit my goal for at least an extra month, especially when that month is December. I plan on being at maintenance with additional cardio to offset the extra if I go over throughout December, I don't want to keep cutting. Thus my solution is to bruteforce it with prolonged fasting and get to step 2.

I have one of those half pound Reese's waiting for me, and I'd like to be comfortable at my goal when I eat it.

Beef is drastically superior to chicken. Also there's no reason to eat low-fat. Eat beef with 1:1 protein to fat by weight. 80/20 ground beef is good.

Costco grass fed beef patties are a perfect food.

>>75471577
When I first brought up the idea of a 1 week fast, my family got emotional and would try to shut me down and refuse to even entertain the conversation, saying I would die. So I did the 1 week fast without telling them, I just tried to be busy around mealtimes, and I would put away the leftover food in the kitchen and mention the leftovers were in the fridge. I would say "Oh I had some of this and that" or mention stuff that I snacked on, and any time someone tried to offer me something, I'd say "Oh I'm trying to reset my gut microbiome right now so I can't eat that/I have to avoid carbs".

After 1 week I started eating again and revealed what I had done. They were somewhat surprised and said it was a good thing I didn't tell them until I was done. Now that I'm on my second prolonged fast, I've made it known and they're much more cooperative now that they realize I'm not going to die and that most people can go without eating for months.

5'2/157 cm and 74 kg/163 lbs. I'm on the verge of becoming a obese bmi and have a hard time controlling my diet. Managed to lose it all with volume eating and running, and got to an underweight bmi while I wasn't living with family. But gained it all back with binge eating when I moved back in. Can't control the food in the house and there's always tasty stuff around. I keep telling myself "ok this is the last time in a while you'll have gluttonous food" and do a high cal meal, last for like a week of decent eating, then have another relapse. I've managed to learn how to cook ok tasting and healthy food, it's just the issue of controlling myself around all this tasty food that's right there every day. Any advice? They aren't willing to not buy/hide the tasty food.

I went to donate some plasma today for the first time. It was fine, but now I'm a ravenous beast, and already 250 past my daily calorie intake. I'm going to assume that's okay and not feel guilty about it.
But apparently I'm not supposed to work out either, which is more annoying.
I'm going to need to schedule those things on recovery days or it's just going to be a pain.
I'm planning to do 6 of those, followed by whole blood donation, and then I get back on finasteride to break my cock again.
Then 4 months later, I get off finasteride again, wait a month, and do the whole thing again.

Anon they made it very very clear that they would check him into a mental facility or force feed him if he was transparent, like it or not that's how normies think. If you aren't eating several times a day you have an unhealthy relationship with food. Day long fasting or longer is anorexia, but like he said: a week without food will kill you! I remember growing up hearing humans could go 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food. The longest surviving dry fast recorded was 18 days. The longest wet fast recordes was over a year. Most people just wouldn't believe that's true, OR would say that's torture because a day without food is torture I knew a kid who's church made the kids fast competitively because Jesus did it for over a month, he tapped at 18 hours because it was just too hard and he "was dying".

SomethingI found helpful if you are hard on yourself:
Open an excel file and log your calories for the week (one cell per day) and set a formula to add them all up in the final cell. Below your actual calories, put your goal calories and have them add up. Finally, add additional cells below your weekly goal calories to show other places you might end up. This helps you reframe cheat days and get an idea of the progress you're making even if you go over.

For example:
>Actual Calories for Week of Nov 11: 14,010
>Goal for -2lbs: 12,250
>Calories for -1lb: 15,750
>Calories for Maintain: 19,000

So like this, I can see that I went over my planned calories for the week, but am still on pace to lose 1.4lbs for the week.

No grapeseed is garbage. No seed/vegetable oils are good. Fruit oils might be kind of okay (e.g. olive, palm, avocado).

The best choice is to just use animal fats. You can make homemade mayo with butter. Butter and tallow are the healthiest fat sources by far due to things like fat soluble vitamins, phytosterols, fatty acid profile, etc.

I drink like twice a month, give me a break.
>>
The scale has been showing the same weight - 69.8kg for the last week. My goal weight is 69.5kg, I've been so adherent to my diet and my 800 calorie deficit for the last 11 weeks and I NEED this last 0.3kg to budge. It's infuriating bros.

Hate to use the term food noise, but all I can think about right now is my next meal. My stomach is like a pit and I am desperate to start eating maintenance. I wake up and plan my days calories before I even get out of bed and feel totally controlled by my diet/exercise routine right now.

I told myself initially that I was going to reverse out of my diet, but actually feeling like I'm going to do a full jump to maintenance for 3 days and just deal with the water weight. (And then maybe do a reverse)

This shit right here made me fat. Empty calories, made me lazy as shit the next few days, craved it almost everyday and ended up drinking more days than I was sober

I cut that shit out and I lost weight like it was no problem what so ever. If people binge drink thats why youre fat. Its not a weight problem, its an alcohol problem

I could drink once a week and that would make me lazy for the entire week.

You are experiencing the inevitable mid-stage of the CICO hoax diet which was promoted to sell sugar, not to help anyone lose weight.

The final stage is you regain all the weight you lost plus extra.

If you want to escape the cycle of hunger, neuroticism, and inevitable failure: STOP EATING CARBS. It's really that easy. Just quit carbs and you can eat unlimited meat, eggs, etc. This will get you to a lean body composition long term effortlessly.

The maximum amount of carbs I eat is 140g a day from oats, brown rice, fruit and veg. I want to live like a normal person who can enjoy time with friends/family and not be even more obsessed with my macros than I currently am.

>>75475117
nice one. Are you still trying to lose or in maintenance right now?
>>
>>75475185
if youre eating at a 800 calorie a day deficit you are losing like 1.5lb a week. Stop panicking if you arent losing weight daily linearly thats expected

you gotta stop putting so much faith into your body losing the exact amount of weight everyday and stop being neurotic. If you are eating at a 500 calorie a day deficit you lose a lb a week. Its that simple. Weigh yourself less often if you cant handle the pressure of the scale number. Either that or count calories better

im maintaining now but i think that is because im replacing the last of my fat with muscle. i got a bench press and barbells in the garage. i will do 3 miles still in the days i lift because it now feels like a warm up jog and the off days i will run 5 miles and try to get in 100 push ups throughout the day, usually 4 sets of 25. i was always chasing a head change with drugs and alcohol but the feeling of working out and being healthy tops any of that feeling to be honest for me now.

It doesn't feel real and it also feels like I've done something wrong or am cheating somehow. I have no idea why but I feel very guilty and bad about being healthier and more in shape.
It's not like I'm getting swarmed or anything, just being talked to at all is a different experience. Chad really does live on another level doesn't he, nowonder he makes people seethe so much.

I have donated blood a few hours ago. They made me eat high caloric stuff like mini pizza so I wouldn't faint but I'm still dizzy even after sleeping for 2 hours.

I went 650 calories past my daily target yesterday. I went to give plasma, and that somehow turned me into a ravenous beast. I ended up eating 200g proteins, far past my 150g target, along with 30g of extra carbs and 40g of extra fats.
The carbs all came from the plasma donation center shoving a "protein drink" in my hands, which turned out to be an Ensure shake with 33g of carbs.
Anyway, the scales went up this morning, because of course they did.
Next donation is Friday, I gotta do better.

The evils of seed oils are mostly exaggerated.
People focus on that like it's the worst thing in their food chains when it doesn't make the top 20.
If you're a health nut who's already doing everything else right, then yes at some point the logic next step is to avoid those oils and favor EEVO and such. But by then you're already avoiding stir frys entirely to minimize your acrylamide intake so you laugh at the question while you enjoying your incredibly healthful EEVO in cold dishes.

>If a simple BMI measurement is enough to filter me, I'm clearly not cut out for it
That's what I'm saying. The largest, best-funded fitness institution in the world uses an outdated 1830s standard for fitness that was never intended for medical use, that is based on the size of African pygmies as its standard, has no mechanism to account for body fat over muscle, and is reliant on being at the perfect water weight for a single day or else you fail an assessment.

Consider, anon. If their entry system is that absolutely fucked beyond and recognition of modern medical science, how do you think their actual fitness regime is? To find out, look at the number of veterans who need replacement knees in their 40s.

Satiety is different from being physically full. Satiety is when your brain tells you that you aren't hungry. Fullness is when your stomach tells you that you can't cram any more stuff into it.

The reason you're experiencing a high degree of satiety is because fasting puts you in fat burning mode. If you stay low carb when you eat the compounding satiety effect is extremely powerful. If you eat too many carbs your hunger will return.

Congratulations it sounds like you've made it. If you continue to apply this knowledge in the future you won't have to count or track your food anymore. Just stay low-carb.

I do low carb, my worst hunger spikes at around noon and then into the afternoon

I exercise in the late afternoon/early evening, sometimes I don't even feel hungry after that (I know exercise supresses hunger for a short while after)

One thing I do fear though is me being forced to do OMAD for the rest of my life, if my fat ass stomach really only fills "full" when I almost physically feel like I can't breathe properly.

Like im stuffing myself with clean foods and I am fucking DONE when I've eaten 2k calories in one sitting. I guess the volume does matter too
>>
Ate 550 cals yesterday, 650 today. Don't eat anything till after midnight then have 600-700 grams of oven fries. Would be really great if I managed to lose the last 2.5-3kg I want to lose before my trip in 2 and a half weeks but I doubt it's gonna happen even with this level of suffering.
>>
>>75476384
Volume doesn't matter. You can skip vegetables if you don't like them.

If you eat zero carb food you can eat any time you're hungry without worrying about it. I eat 2-3 times a day usually. Never tallied the calories in my meals because it's totally irrelevant.

Even if you eat something carby that makes you hungry you will notice the increased hunger with experience. Just knowing what is going on makes everything very easy. I eat carbs as a treat occasionally which causes increased hunger. I just wait until the elevated hunger passes and continue eating zero carb.

>>75476453
Don't mind that anon. Most reasonable people accept that LCHF diets are valid options for losing weight; there is plenty of research to back it up. People just dislike the main ketoschizo because he spams every thread and acts like LCHF is the only option to lose weight. So they sometimes lump everyone who cuts carbs in with him. Honestly, he does more damage to his cause here than he has ever helped it.
>>
>>75476479
I mean it's pretty clear he's a ketoschizo trying to move the goal post.

Again I'd argue there's a difference between eating fruits and vegetables while avoiding pasta and bread, and straight up putting knobs of butter into your coffee and doing strip tests each day.
