>>75709973I'm addicted to mountain dew. It's just so fucking good, it's seriously like heroin to me. I drink a 500 ml bottle every day, which is only 236 kcal, but obviously it would be better if I didn't.
>>75709982Do they make a diet or zero calorie version? Soft drink addiction really is a major gains goblin. See if you cant wheen yourself off it, drink more water.
>>75709990>Do they make a diet or zero calorie version?Yes, but I don't like diet sodas, they don't sooth my soda withdrawals like the full sugar stuff. It's really sugar that I'd addicted to, I just greatly prefer mountain dew as my sugar delivery method.
I'm going to have Robert Paulson tier tits even when I'm at goal weightI basically forgot about developing massive gyno in middle school since all of me became humongous eventually so titties were not that unusual in combination, but it's starting to become funky againBetter start looking into the surgery
>>75710005I was the same until I just forced the switch and now artificial sweeteners hit exactly the same as sugar used toOnly took about a week or two Unfortunately mountain dew zero is not one of the better ones imoAnd most annoyingly the best ones are all caffeine free for some reason
>>75710005Try a 72hour fast, it was the only thing that broke my sugar cravings. After my fast it was weird having zero desire for sugary shit anymore, very liberating.
>>75710036Or you could just go outside and walk 10km for immediate effect. Not my problem if you're too mentally ill to drink plain water instead of soda when you get back.
>>75710031>>75710036I'm just gonna drop it cold turkey, it's completely ridiculous to be addicted to sugar water anyway
>>75710041I found exercise to exacerbate my cravings not decrease them. Only the fast broke them entirely, It was like a spell was lifted and I was finally free.

>>75709903what's the middle ground for this?9% body fat and having strong back and arm muscles?
>>75710053what happened is your brain sacrificed itself by turning itself into fuel for the rest of your body and brain damage made you unable to feel or crave anything, good job NPC
>>7571005715% body fat and a balanced physique.
>>75709973No, I don't think I will.
>>75710060Think it was more that I finally got that shit out of my system. Haven't touched sugary shit since, its been like 4 months now and I still don't find myself craving sugar.
I just ate chinese food oh god oh god oh fuck I'm gonna spiral into obesity again!!!
>>75710120Worst part about chinese food is not only is it calorie dense and overflowing with sodium but its also not satiating at all. You use all your daily calories on one meal and get like 2 days worth of sodium and like an hour after you eat it you're hungry again.
>>75710146I'll just eat a chicken breast and pop a zyn if I'm still hungry desu

>>75710163pretty much
I binged over Christmas and gained 10lbs. Started deficit and treadmill again, day 3 now. 1500 intake w/ 45 mins on treadmill (600 cals although obviously don't take it strictly seriously). Today I had 3 coffees and I have vertigo like a motherfucker. This never happened before. Lying down the room turns. Wrf happened bros, do I need to binge eat again?
>>75710215Can't sleep with this shit and I have work in the morning. Can't even power through it with coffee because I'm scared it gave me the vertigo. I'm fucked man.
>>75710215>>75710219You don't have vertigo, grow up pussy.
>>75709973We had a big celebratory meal yesterday. I hadn't broken my eating rules in 8 months, not even for the holidays.But I did yesterday. Pigged out on BBQ, ate all the carby sides too. Kept eating after everybody else had finished and looked at me in awkward silence.Anyway, I wake up this morning, took a massive dump the like of which my toilet has rarely seen, and now my weight is down 3 pounds from my maintenance target weight I had religiously stuck to.As usual, nothing makes sense. Probably just Descartes' genius malignus fucking with me again.I am resuming proper habits and will say 12 Porcus Noster in contrition.
>>75709973I'm disheartened that losing weight didn't really change my life that much, and my other problems are even harder to solve. Fuck it though, we ball.
>>75710231It's over for me. Only chocolate can save me from the vertigo.
>>75710146It does make me feel full but it's still so calorie dense and sodium dense that even if I don't overeat it I'll "gain weight" on the scale. I miss it
>>75710246>be me>sleep like shit>suspect sleep apnea>lose weight #1 suggestion>spend months losing all my weight>still sleep like shit>go to doctor at least feeling like i tried and don't have to be ashamed to ask for help now>"sorry anon you're too thin for a sleep clinic referral"NHS is a joke
>>75709973For months I've been using disposable weed vapes after work/on weekends due to boredom. As you can probably guess, when high I've been pigging out like crazy, often consuming 3000 calories per day while being sedentary (my job is also something that's not very physically demanding.)Now I'm at about 250lbs as someone who is only 5'10" and doesn't have much muscle mass. I look like shit but I'm also very lazy when it comes to personal matters and in terms of weight I've really spiralled.
>>75710146>hungry againI think this is the problem with diet soda. It has a lot of sodium and makes you keep wanting to snack, or at the very least keep drinking more diet soda.
>>75710171Ill be happy to get to 4, as long as stomach looks flat in a tee shirt im all good with that.
>>757103014 is peak sex
>>75710260I love these threads so much.
>>75710215>I binged over ChristmasSame man. I hit my suicide cut hard deck today, so its back to strict mechanical eating for me for a while. Nothing but what my body needs. I did so well for the longest of times and slowly started slipping extra things into my diet because at first I was getting away with it, but its caught up with me. See you on the other side bros, I got some work to do.
>>75710215Check your blood pressure. If you have Amazon Prime, they can deliver a blood pressure monitor to you today for 40 bucks or so.If you're low, it could explain the dizziness.But also, if you don't usually drink this much coffee, don't have 3 cups of coffee maybe.
>>75710171Neat. I was at a slim 2, I'm roughly at 8 now, and if I keep doing all the things, I might ascend to 9 or 14 in a year or so. Maybe two years. And then my real life will begin.
Fatty Contest GumGolem235 lbs
>>75710171How do I achieve 9?
>>75710416I'm back. I've lost and gained so many times now. I don't eat junk food often, I haven't had alcohol in months, and I have been fairly active up until last November. My problem is and has always been portion control. I simply eat too much. Add to that my son being born and my job being sedentary and I've regained the last bit that I lost. I have 50 lbs to melt away. I'm going to get it done.
>>75710427Sorry to spam, but look at this! Unacceptable.
>>75710270Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or just sleep quality overall?I take a tryptophan supplement to help with my sleep, it knocks me down the whole night and I wake up feeling like sleeping beauty
>>75710427In the same boat, brother. At this point I’ve come to accept that I just need to make these habits and keep them up for the rest of my life.
>>75710171i think my goal is something like 3 or 13 (hidden behind 17% body fat)
>>75710246Same. I've always been kicked in the dirt growing up. I guess I am a a bit jaded and bitter, but I hate being mean. I wear my heart on my chest. I want to be people's rock, but I also hate being alone and feel like my horrid body is part of why. I wish someone could see my kind, honest hardworking heart and comfort me and cheer me on like I see so many men have, but my fat, weak body just leaves me looking like a loser. I've almost gotten down to my current goal of 250 from 310, and it still disheartening seeing people fatter, weaker and mean finding unconditional love. I don't think I'm actually weak or a push over, I do feel like I am confident and genuinely love myself, but I'm tired of being alone and want someone to be closer with.
>>75710519I feel you, brother.
I’ve consumed 900 calories today and shan’t consume any more. My mother wasn’t a bad person, but I would describe her as a bad mother. She did nothing to prepare me for being an adult nor taught me much. She didn’t even teach me how to tie my shoelaces until I was 13.
>>75710579It's spelled "shannot"
>>75710519Insecurity is a hell of a thing, man. A lot of us are dealing with it in some way or another, largely due to our upbringing. I know how you feel. All my life I approached personal relationships with transparency and loyalty, and was betrayed most of the time. It's a hell of a thing, expecting sincerity. Fortunately it's a good litmus test for finding people worth keeping in your life. I hope you've found some people like that.Finding love is another matter. It's callous to say, but you're going to need to be at least moderately attractive to get through the first stage. Physical attraction is a very real thing. You don't need to be a blackpilled lookmaxing weirdo, but having a presentable body, wearing decent clothes and maintaining a decent grooming standard are required. Beyond that, bear in mind the feeling you have now when selecting a woman. You may very well meet a great woman with a poor exterior. If she's worthwhile, she can be improved. Chubby, bad opinions, poor habits etc. I'm not saying to settle, but use your experience to find hidden gems others would otherwise overlook.You can do this, brother. Become the man you want to be.
>>75710416>>75710436You will make it this time, I will make it this time.We are about the same weight and height right now. (I'm a little shorter and fatter), So you better get to a normal BMI before me. But by summer we will not be obese. 159 days to go.

>>75710283When I used to smoke every day I actually was losing weight. The trick is to not leave snacks around, and instead prepare a healthy meal or whatever will fit your caloric budget. You have to plan ahead as if you're taking care of a child.
>>75710772 >that salad was dressed Kek, nicely done.
I just took a shit and excited for tomorrow's weigh in
>>75709973I ate an entire pizza yesterday, forgive me father. I compensated for it today by eating only 1200 calories.
Im so fucking cooked. Cookie is a painful amount of calories each. A cookie cake being 12 cookies in one pan idk i guess portioned in 9ths fuck if I know. Should've assumed it was too much and not eaten it
Anyone get dreams where they binge and gain it all back?I'm getting them like every night, its driving me insane.
>>75711088you will never recover. see you back at 250 bud!
I'm hungry
>>75711138Eat 200g of broccoli, warm up and drink drink 2 cups of bone broth, and then drink a a couple glasses of water. Wait 1 hour, see if you're still hungry.
>>75711144Nah I'm not gonna eat anything I'm just going to suffer but I like to complain anyway
>>75711138
>>75711149Well next time, 2 cups of bone broth is 80kcals and 200g of broccoli is 70kcals, both are very high satiety for their calories, that's 150kcals total and will almost certainly make you feel far less hungry, if not completely satisfied.
Normally never leave the house aside from when I go to work, Dad just invited me to go to Hawaii with some family friends in May but I'm not setting foot on a beach while I look like a monster. Could I lose 40 pounds in 4 months? 184 now
>>7571119740x3500/108 = 1296 daily calorie deficitYeah, you could do that. Go calculate your TDEE, links in the OP, then eat TDEE-1300 and you'll be down roughly 40lbs by may 1st.
>>75711197Yeah 10 pounds a month is doable but you have to be dedicated. 10 pounds a month is 35,000 calorie deficit per month. That averages out to 1,167 average daily deficit. If you can be very active and burn 3,000 calories a day then eat 1,800 a day should get you there. I think it will be hard but it can be done.
>>75711182That does sound good but I don't have either of those anyway
>>75711115My goal is 1200 I'm far exceeding that. I wont go up to 250 but I will gain weight back. I don't want that. I'm just losing my ability to say no even though i know the consequences, I feel like a relapsing addict. I set boundaries and I'm breaking them. Now what?
>>75711302If you can't remember why you started you'll never make it. Try to remember what made you want to lose the weight in the first place, and next time you're tempted ask yourself if the temptation is worth delaying your goals.
I have walked 5 miles today and I will walk 5 miles more
>>75711197Start making protein shake coffees. 160cal they'll keep you fuller and give you just protein and help you shit, AND sooth a sweet tooth. Start meal planning. Don't buy shit that isn't on your meal list. Keep reminding yourself every extra few calories could be the difference. Ideally consoom the extra protein and at least do daily calisthenics. Cottage cheese and keto toast for breakfast, 35cal per slice and 80cal per .5 cup and mostly protein and fiber. Lunch is another protein coffee. Count EVERYTHING with measuring cups/spoons or a scale.
>>75711320I started because I was repulsed with what I'd become, I wonder if the problem is being so close to my goal and becoming complacent? I want to be someone that my family can be proud of. Not a fatty eating extra cookies. Extra soup and bread. Skipping exercise.
>>75711197>>75711326Many flavors to choose for premixed, this is just one brand. There are plenty of others, but keep a close eye on the calories to protein ratios. 20g for 180 when another brand can do 30g for 160? EZ choice. If it's not sweet enough get some white girl zero calorie coffee syrup. Again, there are multiple brands to pick that use different artificial sweetness, if you dont like one just try another.
>wife noticed my progress last nightWe’re all gonna make it lads
bros i dont want to wake up at 6am for the gym tomorrow fuck
>>75711342Could also just eat real food. Hard to beat atlantic tuna or chicken breasts as a protien source. Protien shakes are fine if they work for you but they tend to cost more per gram of peotien when compared to whole foods.
>>75711360>he has a wifesounds like you already made it
>>75711368If it works for you isn't always the biggest clause, for me it's lowest calorie to protein ratio and easiest to do quickly, and justified my coffee addiction
>>75711385Is always* sorry it's bedtime I'm up late
>see really pretty girl>immediate sadness and suicidal ideationwhy am I like this
>>75711113yeah for me it's usually rice, probably because it'd what I've cut down on the mostlast week I dream of onigiri, even tgough I've never had the thing
Another big weight loss day today. Ate about 1800 calories and between my normal daily activities and walking 12 miles I burned about 4800 calories. 3000 calorie deficit in a day is pretty nice. Though walking did eat up 3 hours of my day.
My diet (for weekdays) is a foot long meatball sub from Subway (900 calories max) and nothing else. On weekends I eat just four chicken schnitzels with vegetables (1,200 calories)
My diet is 8 eggs and 400g of meat and sometimes cheese
>>75711611are you taking vitamins? Eating veggies is good for the fiber but also all the important vitamins you need like C, K, A, the Bs. Especially if you are trying to lose weight you need a lot of Vitamin C since that is used in Collagen production and that will help with skin elasticity.
>>75710005>soda withdrawals shut the fuck up dude, it's not heroin or something. you don't get withdrawals. you enjoy soda and that's fine, it's not great, but if you can fit those 273 calories in your calorie budget then it's not a big deal. but don't look at it like it's something you have no control over.
>>75711647Caffeine and sugar withdrawal are both real things, just not being violently ill for a week Some people think having a coke is like a home remedy for when you feel a cold coming on when it's really general shitty feeling from withdrawal that is soothed by it
>>75711646Yes, I’m taking a multi, fish oil, C, and D/K/Ca
>>75710402>a slim 2that's like saying you were a smart retard
>>75711691I probably should have said a "slimmer 2". In no way was I actually slim.I am however unquestionably a very smart retard.
Catholicism can't be true if the pope fails to represent Christ, being Christ's substitute (vicar). It also can't be true if it has more than one "Christ" (which it does, since the canonical term for an RCC priest is "Alter Christus" (Latin for "Another Christ")>For if he that cometh preacheth ANOTHER JESUS, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him."2 Corinthians 11:4Concerning what the Apostles said about the RCC for this issue later on in the same chapter,"For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.">2 Corinthians 11:13-15
>>75711684ahh ok, that's much better then.
>>75711668If that's true then you definitely need to stop drinking it and break the habit.
>>75711693I get what you mean, I just thought the wording was funny because there is nothing about that photo that is slim.> am however unquestionably a very smart retard.me too, anon. know what else we have in common? we're both going to make it.

>>75712400It's all in your mind.Or if you're actually muscular then it's because your muscles have filled up on glycogen and became larger. Once that goes away you'll just be left with more fat.
>fastingHonest question I'm new here, but why go for this option, it's not sustainable once you reach your goal weight and you will need to switch to a more healthy eating habit and better meal planning to maintain. Would it not be better to start that practice now and not be miserable?Is it just because fasting is seen as the easier of the two and you think you'll just figure out the hard stuff when you're already at your goal weight?
>>75712538Im personally fasting until Im closer to healthy BMI and then figure out how to eat healthy and lose the final pounds that way. Also fasting is more efficient at higher bodyfat% because you lose more fat/day compared fasting in healthy BMI
>>75712538Fasting is for small brained retards who just want to see number go down. CICO is for the refined gentleman.
>>75712538I chose fasting because it gave me quick results. I tried traditional dieting and it's just too slow for me, I need to see numbers go down NOW or I'll lose motivation. I've also learned a lot of good eating habits for when I eat in my off days so I'm sure I'll fare well even when I reach my goal weight, although I can see how yoyo-ing can become a problem for someone who doesn't make an effort to change their eating habits.
ignore the cico schizo
>>75712538Its so they dont have to workout. They binge eat then say theyll fast, lay in bed all day binge eat after being bored and repead ad infinitum.
>>75712538They're completely filled with motivation and think that motivation won't disappear. They have no idea how painfully unmotivated they will be when they reach their goal, and they won't even have the habits to keep them going. It makes no sense to waste all your motivation learning something you'll stop once you reach your goals.
>>75712575CICO is the diet choice of this general. Cope.
I can feel it, 2025 is the weight-loss year buddies
>>75712538I am fasting every other day on top of a large calorie deficit and it is working well. When I reach/approach my goal I don't plan to fast>miserable It is hard maybe for the first 3-4 days, you get used to it
CICO is just an incomplete version of fasting
If fasting is so good, why do you start eating again? Checkmate fastards.

Fatty contestMoonlune181lbs
>>75712676Bullshit unless you pin it. It's low bio availability in oral form makes it useless
>>75712653Chips is my personal weakness too. Don't really care that much about chocolate or ice cream, sweets are okay, but chips is where it's at.I've tried making beetroot "chips", they turn out okay but nothing special. I really like vinegar chips, so dumping a whole bunch of vinegar on them sort of scratches that itch. Beetroots are dirt cheap and healthy as fuck so why not give it a go. Just make sure to slice em really thin and make sure they have enough time and space in the oven to cook. The other substitute is plain old popcorn. You don't want to go mega hard on popcorn, but at least popcorn fill you up somewhat and you can dump a whole bunch of salt on them too. It's at least better to eat 350~ kcal/100g somewhat fiberous popcorn than 550~ kcal/100g potato chips in my opinion. 100 grams or hell even 150 grams of popcorn is still a lot of popcorn.
>>75712686What if it is taken anally, I am guessing that was what OP's gym bro was hinting
>>75712693He wants your bussy bro
>>75712638It's because they lost the weight so fast they didn't need to....hah hah. Anyway I'm gonna be the first faster here to do it, in a few hours when I get off work. I will become THE ONE.
The funniest thing about fasting is that if you just took four scoops of isolate whey for like 100g of protein and 435 calories, you would end up losing more weight because your BMR and general metabolism wouldn't slow down due to muscle loss. Also even 400 ish calories of pure protein can help sustain some sort of NEAT burn. So you actually get worse results by suffering harder kek

>>75712768Kek it is you. How's the fasting going buddy?https://www.nature.com/articles/s41366-022-01090-7
Is it normal to be ashamed of my motivation/goal?
>>75712780>ctrl f fast>0 results foundkek, anon just pulled a random article to support his claim>how's the fasting goingGoing very well, thanks. List about 3kg in 9 days
>>75712794Are you claiming fasting doesn't cause muscle loss?
>>75712785We all want to be able to fit plane seats
>>75712794https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34668663/>Fat mass and lean soft tissues (LST) accounted for about 40% and 60% of weight loss, respectively,And that's with resistance training damn
>>75712031Based
>>75712804>non sequitur I am not claiming that. The only claim here is you saying that if what you eat is less than 400kcal (of protein) your TDEE drops more than 400kcal and effectively you are losing less weight. Sauce?
>>75712812A 10 day fast appears safe in healthy humans. Protein loss occurs in early fast but decreases as ketogenesis increases. Fasting combined with physical activity does not negatively impact muscle function. Future studies will need to confirm these first findings>Future studies will need to confirm these first findingsCheckmate atheist. Call me when you got more than ONE half assed study.
Excuse the nudity I’m down 6kg. 181cm~5’1175kgAm I fat enough to have loose skin when I get to 60-65kg do you think?
>>75711965Same. Thanks for the very funny image btw. My breakfast this morning is a protein shake, 2% milk cottage cheese, leftover baked teriyaki salmon fillet, homemade eel sauce, and a vitamin.
>>75712810Haha yeah... haha totally something like that...
>>75712850No. Loose skin happens if u were 150kg starting weight
>>75712850At that point you should transition desu

>mom lost 3/4 of her stomach, the entire duodenum, gallbladder and 1m of her small intestines when she was young >eats lots of fatty, sugarry, carby stuff>can barely digest anything and extremely thinIt almost feels like it would be worth several stomach bleedings that lead to those operations, all time low sugar and requiring toilet visits at worst times
>>75712538Intermittent fasting is 100% sustainable and a healthy eating habit
>>75712850Clean your room but no, no loose skin. You don't have hanging fat. Just start lifting weights eating in a deficit with high protein.
>>75711918Take care of your teeth anons. Even if you’ve got a lot of issues, just starting to brush twice a day, using a fluoridated rinse, and flossing will go far to keeping your teeth from deteriorating furtherI’m 35 and didn’t do this when I was in my 20s, now I’m paying for it before it progresses to tooth loss
>>75712872Yes, I skip lunch.
>>75712899How did she carry you to term? Did she drink lye as a kid?
>>75708492Todays weigh in is 237.2, down from yesterdys 238.4. Total loss is now 10.2 lbs.
>>75712912The cause was extreme stress when she was a kid. I was her second attempt
>>75712850start picking up weights bro you're gonna need it
>>75712850can you believe this puffy white dough is at the absolute top of the food chain
>>75712360lmao, some anon in the fat hate thread recommended alcoholism as a solution.Turns out it's a dumb idea after all.
>>75711342>>75711326This annon, coffee protein shakes are my go to lazy breakfast meal.They are great when I don’t have time to cook up a bunch of eggs. Use 2% or homo milk for better macros. I just happened to only have 1% in the house today. (2%/homo has less carbs more fat)
>>75712538If you are fat you are prone to having a lot of other issues as well.Fasting is a form of medicine. You can do it every once in a while for a couple days until you are back at a healthy level.It's not a replacement for a lifestyle change, it's more of an extra thing to do while on the journey.
>>75712653Buy a spice mix they sell in packets for meats and stuff and lick it off your fingers unironically.It's the spice for me and not the potato themselves.
>>75712865I want to huff this copium. He wont get loose skin, but you don't need to be even close to 150kg to get plenty...
>>75713040>1 minute of exercise burnt 65 caloriesseems bullshit. did you sprint or something?
>>75712908Skill issue.I brush once a month and my teeth are healthy.
>>75713234Really depends on sugar intake, the bacteria that cause tooth decay thrive on sugar. If you hardly eat any sugar they don't have much to eat and their population is low meaning slower decay, conversely if you eat a lot of sugar and don't practice good oral hygiene their population will explode and your teeth will rot rapidly.
>>75712717this sounds like one of those elaborate pranks to make someone really sick from trying itsadly it's not stupid enough, didn't laugh
>>75713189>65 food calories>roughly 270.000 joules>over 60 seconds>potency of roughly 4,5 kWSeems plausible for specialized athletes (such as sprinters). Absolutely unsustainable for more than a couple of minutes even for elite athletes, though.Guy is running on sheer ATP and Creatine Phosphate, he'll burn glucose over several minutes thereafter just to replenish that

Fatty ContestAbuGarcia231.2new low today, figured i'd chart it. have a good day everyone.
>>75713354You can buy wraps and fill them with lettuce and maybe a couple of slices of wafer thin chicken.For example, a Tortilla is 173 calories. 100 grams of lettuce is 15 calories. 2 slices of wafer thin roast chicken slices is 24 calories. assuming you actually use 100 grams of lettuce, which is a lot, you're at 212 calories per wrap.
>>75713405Yeah also a somewhat working gas stove.
>>75713189Yeah I do not know what that was I do I minute or two of jumping jacks to wake up,but that’s like 5 calories of energy usage, since cron meter is linked to Apple health it just transfers over randomly.
>>75713434That is awesome, thanks for the share.I'll get some tortillas, I love chicken breasts in general and usually cut them into small chunks and use some pre-made kebab spice mix with it.Never thought of making my own wraps I always just ate it with rice.
>>7571335410 eggs
>>75713434>eating wrap>adding worthless dalad>skimping on chickenNGMI
>>75713496You can just use 1 wrap with 10x the chicken and eat two for the same result basically.It's a good idea still.
I'm 20kgs down and hitting a real mental wall. Losing composure a lot. You guys got any motivational stuff what works for you?
>>75713505I watch my 600lb life episodes
>>75713505Face gains is my motivation
>>75713505>what works for you?i think of someone who would really enjoy me failing/not reaching my goal>"ha see anon? i told you he wouldnt make it kek"
>>75713520ngl seeing the sides of my face go from ( ) to | | was great.
>>75713501Or you can skip the wrap and eat 200kcal worth of chicken thigh. Wrap it to a lettuce if you wish
>>75709966i don't like this OP img
i regret breaking my fast.
>>75713552it doesn't like you either
Fat thread gets mat about skimping on food, proceeds to lash out.You people are so overly emotional.
As promised here is a picture of my fat gut and weight. I will henceforth be posting my progress as a representative of the power of fasting. Not sure when I'm gonna post next, probably next Monday to show progress.
>>75713571This is the standard fastard body
>>75713564Breaking a fast isn't nearly as bad as not consistently fasting. Remember consistently is the everything, and not falling into old eating habits.
>>75713434Thanks but that doesn't sound very good. Point about weight loss recipes is so you can feel like a normal human and eat nice food to lighten the drudgery of life, otherwise I could just eat boiled eggs on rye bread for 300 meals in a row
>>75713573I mean ya I'm fat, of course. HOWEVER, I used to be 230/104kgs not that long ago and reached my new low thru the power of fasting.
>>75713582NGMI.
Day 3 of carnivore, last night I had a minor headache. This always seems to happen when I transition into keto. Woke up today feeling better but still a little off. Can tell my body is still craving those carbs. Doing OMAD for now with a big brunch and maybe a tiny snack of cheese in the early evening. Have dropped 10lbs but most of that is just from constant pissing. The hardest part has been giving up sauces and spices. I'm trying to get used to just salt and pepper and a little dash of hot sauce. But I used to slather most of what I ate in sweet baby rays so it's a big improvement. Honestly can't believe how much sugar and calories they can cram into that stuff it's insane if you actually look at the back of the bottle. I grew up thinking condiments were basically free calories, makes me sick thinking how much of the fat on me probably originated from ranch/bbq/ketchup.
>>75713612Yeah, headache happens in the first few days. Then it goes but comes the bad breath/piss smell and finally your dicks fells off
>>75713571How tall?
>>75713620Well I live alone and am currently unemployed so that won't be a problem. Not sure how long I will continue this experiment. I'm not some crazy ketoschizo, just want to try different things to see if something clicks with me. I've tried just about every diet out there at least once. Most don't and I end up falling back into normal habits. I'll say the one thing I have noticed so far is that I don't get any of the mucus or runny nose I usually get after eating a carb heavy meal. Don't know if I am mildly allergic or what but after a bowl of pasta or a sandwich or anything carb heavy I always get a clogged up snotty nose for at least a couple of hours. Haven't had any of that in the last three days which feels like a blessing.
>>75713611>Eating a variety of healthy foods for 1600 kcal a day is ngmiI used to be able to do OMAD but I feel like shit skipping lunch or dinner these days, but when I did do OMAD i could easily eat hamburgers every day and lose weight.
>>757136275'10" 177cm. King height:^)
>>75713434>a tortilla is 173 caloriescome on fatties, you can do better.
>>75713637>>757135715'6 at best
>>75713637Okay, makes sense. Explains why I looked a lot less fat at that weight.
>>75713643>literal wood shavings
>>75709982Mountain Dew Zero exists, and it tastes more like regular than the shitty diet version.
i haven't had a shit in a week and i'm concerned
>>75712538Fasting is sustainable for your entire life. It doesn't mean you don't ever eat it's as simple as skipping breakfast, or lunch or dinner. Everyone would benefit not eating a couple of days a week.
How the fuck do I stop binge eatingI think I legitimately have to talk to my therapist about this. Every 2 or 3 weeks like clockwork I'll get stressed about something or ither and suddenly get a bad case of the 'fuckits' and gorge on like 5000kcal a day for 2 or 3 days straight. I'm good enough about my diet and exercise the rest of the time that I'm still steadily losing weight, albeit very slowly, but 2 straight days of ice cream and fried food is not doing me any good.
>>75713815Just say no
>>75713818lowkey this
Idk what my sister is making for dinner but I'm really leaning towards just making myself a salad or leftovers, I can't do hit dogs again because she's too prideful to ask for money for the singular night she makes dinner a week. I'm just tired of being disappointed and too polite to just make something else. Gotta use up my goat cheese anyway, spring mix too. Lord please grant me the strength to resist more cookies.
>>75712733Pick up a hobby, at worst just start playing mmo's or arpg's or some other video game with infinite content. Grind away the hours between meals.
>>75712774Instead of running maybe take up swimming.
>>75712785Yes you should feel shame wanting to go to furry conventions and get knotted.
>>75712810I flew without the belt extender for the 1st time this summer. Felt like a god. WAGMI
Are fasting schizos the new keto schizos? I swear it happens in waves. Someone comes here yapping about some magic diet and how it works so well, then disappears after they relapse. Next it will be carnivore, or chasing food with beet juice because you don't absorb calories if you do that, or maybe more keto stuff. It seems like people are pathological in the desire to lose weight in a "forbidden" or "special" way instead of the established protocol that has worked for pretty much any anon who made it. Why are people like this?
>>75713798>Everyone would benefit not eating a couple of days a week.Post body, show us proof of how well it works.
>>75712850Why don't you have any chest hair?
>>75713354This channel is devoted to meal prep, it's pretty good but most recipes are either in the 600 or 1000 calorie range so you could just add or subtract a bit to each portion to hit your 800 calorie goal. This one I linked is 900 calories. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoYQHYZNgB8
>>75713815Meal prep is the key, you don't have to do it for all of your meals. Just always have one or two prepped ahead of time that you can bust out when you want to eat right away. You can eat everything in the container without blowing your calorie budget and feel satisfied.
>>75713880Not an argument, come back when you are ready to have an adult conversation this isn't /b/.
>>75713505I go to the fat people hate thread and remind myself that no matter how happy I think people in my day to day life are with me being fat they're secretly seething under the surface that my fat retarded arse is ruining everything around them, that I'm a international laughing stock, that my choices are ultimately lose weight or kill myself.
>>75713910>It totally works>What me? Why no I can't post bodyKek
>>75713918I can see you just want to throw a tantrum, sad but typical of this place.
>>75713571Yes! A new lolcow has made himself known. Skinny arms, obese, and going to do a meme diet. What's the over under until this faggot disappears? I give it two weeks max after he starts gaining weight
Down to 202 today from 211 on Dec 30th. Was 306lbs on Jan 1st, 2023. Not done by a long shot but proud of myself so far.
>>75713643Yo im the guy who recommended it and ill look for this brand. I tried looking for some low cal ones nit couldnt find any in store.
>>75713919Bruh if you can't even post body no one should listen to you sorry
>consistently weighed in @ 204-206lbs for the past week>spent the night in with roommates and ate a ton of junk food last night>weighed myself before bed>211lbs>eh, to be expected>wake up this morning>take a MASSIVE shit>weigh myself>210.8lbs>wtf>an hour later take another shit>211lbs>just now take another massive shit (still haven't eaten)>211.2lbsI fucking hate digital scales so goddamn much
>>757138151. You really have to force yourself. Stay strong, do not give in. Buy the food, don't even touch it, and just throw it away. You'll realize how much money and time you've wasted on binge eating when you physically see it as what it is: Garbage.2. Walk. Take looooong ass walks. Really just about anything else to avoid you eating. Walking is both good cardio and it will help you actually think and process your feelings and stress, or maybe turn you in to Tina Belcher where you make up a bunch of fake scenarios in your head that at least make you feel better. Or just listen to music and day dream your music videos and dreams of being super talented back in high school. 3. Sleep. Sleeping is better than eating. Sleeping will help you process your mental problems. Sleeping is also when your body repairs itself so in turn it is helping you gain your muscle-building.

>>75713946Oh I'm fully aware. I know that if I were to do a 24 hour fast right now and spend an hour or 2 sweating at the gym I'd be right back to my normal weight, I'm just frustrated that dropping a few solid pounds of shit while consuming nothing has registered as a net gain on my shitty cheap scale.
In many ways, weight loss isn't even real.

I ate the sloppa, i drank the sloppa. I am the sloppa.
>>75714054People don't like fat people, they tolerate fat people because they sometimes get to laugh at their expense. It's not paranoia, being fat is loathsome and terrible, literally making yourself a joke for other people to laugh at and get angry at when you sit next to them on a flight or at the theatre.
>>75714083Nope, nobody cares and it's not that deep. Most people are fat nowadays especially women

I suppose the only thing I learned is that if you can't win the battle against your stomach you gotta learn how to avoid getting into the fight.

>>75714204No,.eat something. At least get some protien in.
>>75714199Thanks fren
>>75712733Working out. Bored? Lift. Do some cardio while listening to something. Try to set a PR on something. Do some accessory work. Calf raises, shrugs, wrist rolls, something that not in your normal routine.
>>75713942Thanks Anon! My biggest regret is waiting until the end of last year to exercise, instead of just cutting food intake. Exercise feels amazing and I feel like a retard for not embracing it and more weight loss with muscle gain sooner.

hi /fit/izens, /a/ here, I just wanted to share some things, cos I am bored.I was 152kg around 7 months ago, now I am at 116kg, (1600kcal each day, no day missed, if I eat more or drink, I will take it out of the week) but still no movement, I work from home and basically do nothing but sit at the computer all day and shitpost on /a/ but recently I started doing 3x10 pushups and 3x20 squats each other day.I made cheesecake yesterday, just 1kg of cottage cheese, 300g sugar, 5 eggs, heavy cream = around 200kcal per 100g I recon, problem is, I ate it all.... in just 2 days.. but its just sooo good, next time I bake it, can any anon suggest me some good sugar alternatives? that will taste good when baked...also, I
>>75709973Forgive me father for I have sinned.I tasted the glory that is banana ice cream with chocolate fudge. Even at just 2 cups of the stuff it was a calorie bomb.WHY did it have to taste so fucking good?Also why must potatoes be so fucking high on the glycemic index? FUCK! It also makes no damn sense that an order of fries contains less calories than a literal baked potato.
how in the fuck am I supposed to consume 220g of protein a day, stay under 1,800 calories, and have free time? Is all my time in this journey going to be spent doing dishes and buying all the chicken from the store? How the hell is this affordable?
>>75715787>how in the fuck am I supposed to consume 220g of proteinYou're not.1g of protien per pound of lean mass, unless you've literally got 220lbs of lean mass, aka what you weight without the fat.Also 220x4 is only 880kcals still quite possible if your get most your protien from whey and chicken breasts staying under 1800kcals is still feasible.
>>75715918I knew I must have been off somewhere. That works out to about 178.5-186.75 grams. I was thinking I would have to eat 2.5 chickens a day. In reality, 1 chicken (2 breasts), 1 cup cottage cheese, and about 6 eggs should get me there. I'd go whey, but in this economy about to make my own from cheese byproduct water
