Fuckin a no faggy nuns watch the quality of the thread be higher now
i think i'd rather die of dehydration than force another glass of salt water down ever again
reposting from last thread:Blood pressure is the greatest fucking troll of all time. I am starting to think that blood pressure LITERALLY is not measurable. Its ENTIRELY a function of how tight your cuff gets and has nothing to do with your heart and shit.Every morning I take my blood pressure and get an ASTRONOMICALLY high reading. I then take the reading again 2 more times. By the third reading its always a pretty good number. I can feel the variance in how tight the cuff feels which directly predicts what the reading will be.My machine is an omacron which is supposed to be a good one. I could buy another machine but I doubt it would do shit. God I am losing my fucking mind over blood pressure. I have ordered literally every perscription blood pressure medication over the internet. I cannot get over seeing these high numbers and thinking about how my kidneys are going to fail and shit.So today my readings were 148/69 then 142/63, then 115/71. All three were taken over the course of a couple minutes. There is no fucking way that adjusting my arm slightly lowered my blood pressure 30 god damn point. I really do feel like I am approaching some kind of autistic melt down over this.
>>76605909I take them all
>>76605954Why would saltwater save you from dehydration, you know there is a reason we cant drink seawater rightThere is a reason we require actual water to hydrate
day 3 fasting nearly overi just want to eat
Posted in the /cbt/ but feel like this would be relevant here. >>76605897I lost 30 pounds and rarely do I ever feel hungry.Is it controversial to say that CICO isn't a meme?
>>76606023I dont get it
>>76605954There are ways around it.
>>76606023CICO is a meme. If you're not hungry it is because you are in ketosis.
>>76605954you drink a glass of normal water after stupid fuck
>>76606059This guy gets it, if you want to lose weight naturally just ditch the carbs
>>76606011>>76606065ur body can’t properly hydrate from normal water unless you also have some form of sodium intake
>>76606059I see, that does makes sense because I was following a diet that included lots of healthy fats and reduced carbs.
>>76606074What the frick are you talking aboutHumans have survived on water and regular unsalted food for millions of yearsWe only started adding salts like 20k years ago max
>>76606059This is absolutely retarded and you should refrain from using the internet.
>>76606090do you not know what electrolytes are?humans have been needing them since day 1
>>76606100And you get them from eating food
Oh boy, I guess the anon talking about weighted hyperextensions may have been 100% right, I'm just gonna do static holds for time instead tho
>>76606101but im fasting rn so thats why i need to drink salt water retard
>>76606112>fasting>drinking water with so much salt that it is undrinkable>calling others retarddrink some sugar free gatorade, moron
>>76606112The reason is because you eat salty food all the time so when you stop eating food your body is still gonna expect salty food and excrete alot of saltIf you were a nosalt chad then when you stop eating food you wouldn't lose any saltThats just how it works
>>76606133>If you were a nosalt chad then when you stop eating food you wouldn't lose any saltNot how it works. If you dont eat any salt (like I used to do) you still excrete salt through piss and sweat. I used to piss clear as water all the time, and a LOT.I added a bit of salt to my diet in cooking and I piss a lot less and less clear. Not dark yellow but not almost water translucent.There's abalance and it's not overly salty neither none at all.
>>76605997I started to just keep repeatedly measure my blood pressure until I get roughly repeating numbers and then consider that to be my real blood pressure. Does that sound like a reasonable way of doing it? Moving the monitor from a stiff wooden chair at my dinner table over to love seat where I am in a more comfortable position also seemed to lower my blood pressure quite a bit. Seems I was tensing up more than I thought I was. Still not sure if I should buy a new monitor though. Probably should just so I can double check the readings.
>>76606127gatorade would break a fast so noand its not undrinkable, its just gross, 250g of water with 2g of salt was the ratio chatgpt said to use 3xs a day>>76606133every single food in existence has salt
>>76606059This is why I don't cut up and fry the absolute shit out of my 1.5lb of chicken a day diet. Makes it harder and slower to digest so it really levels out the insulin curve. Not only am I not really hungry all day but the weight is coming off just as fast as when I was doing hard fasting because I don't slow down during the day and don't need breaks.
>>76606151>every single food in existence has saltYes, thats why you dont need to add moreYour body is used to that
>>76606161it does if ur not eating any food at all, aka fastingthats why ppl puke
>>76606059Kiss your sisteryouniceincrediblegreatguyeatravioli
>>76606166I could waterfast with no saltwater no problemBecause I dont use added salt in my foods, my body is always holding onto saltYou're in a state where you need to drink salt water because your body excretes itWhy does it excrete it? Because you eat too much of it daily and your body has gotten used to it
>>76606174why are u trying to boost ur own ego in a fat loss thread of all places
>>76606112You're actually doing a lightweight dry fast by doing that. Thirst overwrites hunger by a large margin which is why drinking dehydrating salt water seems to help your fasting. Plus your body eats your fat faster to get metabolic water so it has more calories available to it. You could get the same effect by limiting water consumption on a regular fast without murdering your kidneys. You could could also limit water intake on a regular diet and still get the hunger reducing effects and just deal with a little bit of thirst. I'm not suggesting full dry fasting schizo, just enough to keep you on the edge of thirst is enough for some benefit which is basically what you're already doing.
>>76606151its easier to encapsulate the salt and take it with plain water than to salt the waterid only recommended salted water if you have extremely high quality salt so the taste is not that bad - such as celtic grey salt
>>76606181Just SAYING it aint natural that you have to drink fucking saltwater the moment you stop eating food
>>76606184good to know, thx anon>>76606225idk how to capsulate salt, u mean just eat/swallow a spoonful of dry salt then drink water? that sounds 10xs worse than drinking it together>>76606227if u dont manage ur electrolytes, whether u have a high salt diet or not, while fasting, then that leads to nausea and puking
>fastinglollmao
>>76606268thats why ur fat
>>76606227I did a 7 day water fast and did not have any salt and I was fine. However extended fasting like that is a full retard method of weight loss. I did mine for cancer prevention and to find clarity in my directionless life.

>>76605921I wanted to post because I got off track today. I ate about 600 calories over my target intake. I think my TDEE is maybe by over 300 calories today but I am not sure. I still am not sure how to get around the dopamine of having new food in the house, sure I can just not buy it. But eventually I will have a wife that most likely will buy goyslop so I must kill this head on.
>>76606340Normies dont struggle with being hungry or being overweight. They just eat when they feel hunger and are satisfied with a appropriate amount of calories. Only fatties struggle with this.

I have some chicken cubes in my freezer that's been covered in tandoori sauce. How should I cook this? Defrost and pan fry or put them in a tray/pan and put it in the oven?
I've been doing strictly one meal a day, and managed to drop from 155 lbs to 150. I temporarily hit 148, but I seem to be walled at 150 and it won't go any lower anymore. Should I just move on to fasting and eating every other day?
>>76606693its almost like the amount of calories is all that matters and number of meals does not matter and you could eat any number of meals per day

>>76606918I still can't even see my jaw muscles when clenching at that weight. Fat distribution is a hell of a thing.

For reference here's what a 6ft tall man actually looks like (me) at 205lbs with an unknown bodyfat percentage because I'm not so retarded as to claim a bf percentage without evidence like you are. Shoo shoo and try eating in a surplus might break through your newbie gains it took you years to achieve

I honestly don't know where to ask so I hope I can get some input here as it's relatively active by comparisonI suffer from headaches (exertion maybe) during the last few reps of bigger compound lifts, and after it triggers, it hangs around for the rest of the workout.Even if I go lighter and increase reps, I can feel the pressure building up in my head leading towards the same headache>I've had head scans and no signs of aneurysm or any neurological issues>Panadol / Ibuprofen helps numb it for the most part>Supplements: 5g of creatine and 1-2 scoops of protein powder every day>PPL split, valsalva breath hold during lifts (exhaling and inhaling at top of movements), but even if I try not to hold and exhale during concentric it makes no differenceThere seems to be zero links between creatine and headaches, but I'm tempted to cut it out anywayI don't know what to do but would love to hear opinions
>>76607554It will never look like that because of photos being edited for saturation
day 1 of fast done, tomorrow should be easier now that i'll have at least some record to keep up, hoping to last until friday afternoon.
>>76607562Try heavy amounts of yoga and stretching. Something may be misaligned in your body and whenever you put pressure on it that pressure transfers to your spine and up to your head. It's even possible it's a jaw misalignment thing aka a temporomandibular disorder (TMD). You might just be clenching your teeth too hard or w/e. Try exercises and stretches specifically for TMD and other parts of your spine and neck.The other thing is it may be a sinus issue. Even a little completely unnoticeable low grade inflammation in there is enough to wreck havoc when you put pressure on your body. My friend has this one because of an immune disorder and he gets constant headaches from exertion. May be why ibuprofen helps you."I get headaches" is such a vague complaint so good luck. Start rotating in various doctors to stick their fingers and instruments in you to wiggle them around if you really want a real diagnosis.

Is hunger just unavoidable if I want to lose 2lbs a week? I've been eating super clean with a mix of like 30% veggies 30% meat 30% healthy fats 10% other complex carbs. This worked great for about 4 months but the past month I've just been getting really bad hunger pangs and will end up binging whatever I cook. I've still been under maintenance but the progress is just way too slow. I'm not sure if it's a problem with my diet, if I'm burnt out or I just need to nut up and learn to deal with being hungry all the time.
>>76607712>Is hunger just unavoidable if I want to lose 2lbs a week?yesunless you take drugs
>>76607712Just drop carbs and you will stop getting hungry.

>>76606008Blood pressure is real my dude. In the morning. You sit in the chair. You put the cuff on. You DO NOT push the button. You wait. Breathe. Happy thoughts. One minute. Ok now push the button. Congratulations, you just skipped on taking two useless readings.I was on BP medication when I was obese. I stayed on it as I was losing weight until BP started dropping low, which feels bad. Now I've been off my meds for over 6 months.If you're already taking all the fun supplements, consider one more: Potassium.How? Buy some "Lite Salt" (dumb name I know), which has 50% sodium chloride, 50% potassium chloride. And use that wherever you'd use salt in your cooking. And since you don't eat out, now all your salt intake also fills you up with potassium. Electrolytes are now balanced, and so is your blood pressure. It's that easy.One minor caveat: Unless you're genetically blessed like me, it might make your food taste bitter. If you're afflicted with this, put the salt *after* you're done cooking the food. The bittermen claim their potassium tastes better when it hasn't been heated first.

Make sure to eat loads of protein, your body needs it to rebuild any muscle lost during the fast.

Good morning, frens. Stay strong. Hat stinks and is in the wash.
I just realized that i don’t feel hungry lately now that i know that i already ate enough thanks to counting calories. Crazy how that works

>>76607628>Cock and Ball Torture? Is this why people lose weight to get kicked in the testicles?
>>76608116Extremely difficult. I'm at a 1000 calorie deficit on OMAD with lifting in the AM and 30 min cardio in the evening, and its ROUGH. Even that won't likely hit 22kg by the end of the year.>>76608165>>76608184fasting is basically the only way to get close to your goal weight loss. If you aren't used to fasting, it will be tough.>>76608464So many people don't realize that your hunger is completely malleable based on your food intake. Fatties who gorge on sweets/eat their feelings don't realize your brain literally changes how it feels about food when you start working out and eating healthy (albeit, it puts up resistance at first). I see a lot of tumblr snark whenever someone says "fuck yeah I love salads/healthy food" and they 100% think that fit people have the exact same cravings as them and are "pretending" to like healthy food.>crazy how that worksIt's so wild in a world where you can easily test if calorie counting works, people still pretend it's impossible. earlier this year, I 1) calculated TDEE, 2) subtracted 500 calories, and 3) started counting calories and made sure I was at that 500 calorie deficit (with some exceptions here and there). After about 3-4 months, I did some quick calculation, and I lost 1.2 lbs/week on average. Pretty spot on. But people will scream and yell and swear online that its impossible and doesn't work that way rather than....try it out.
Why do I have to be such a fucking alcoholic
>>76608116yeah this won't happen, sorry broreduce your expectations to 12kg at most and that's being consistent as fuck and with a very low calorie intake
>>76608601At least your vice isnt tested for when job hunting. I cant quit weed no issue, but it still sucks that I even have to get a job. Wish weed was bad as boomers think so it made sense at least.
>>76608592Why do you say fasting is the only way to get close? It's more along the lines of = it will get you there quicker, no?
>>76608646That anon had a deadline
>>76608646Weight loss is a function of deficit, time, exercise, and hormonesYour body has a set metabolic rate (how much energy you consume over time), based on your body composition. You can increase this slightly with exercise, or by altering your hormones (eating cleaner food, drugs).Since your metabolic rate is very difficult to change, the other part of the equation is the deficit you're in. Fasting is the maximum possible deficit. With the time frame he's looking at, the only way he'll even have a chance of losing that much weight is to be in the maximum possible deficit most of the time.
>>76608646>Why do you say fasting is the only way to get close? It's more along the lines of = it will get you there quicker, no?Basically yes. From my experience, the deficit they are aiming for (roughly 1500 calorie deficit/day) is not sustainable eating every day. It is sustainable through fasting cycles, though, and eating on non-fasting days to average 1500 calorie deficit. Theoretically you don't have to fast for a 1500 calorie deficit, but in practice it will generally not work (food-to-brain signaling is a bitch to overcome).
>>76607562are you drinking enough in the morning?
>>76608676I managed to do a 1500kcal deficit for like 40 days until I hit something like 21%bf at which point I hit a wall, got extreme insomnia, started regressing on lifts, and started going stark raving mad in general and had to reduce to 1000kcal.
>the coffee from chick fila tasted like piss this morningcan't even have the small things
>>76608161Fast a few times to help reset your sensation of hunger. That, and low-intensity cardio when hungry helps.
Had to eat out both Sunday and Monday with family. So I did a 48 hours fast. Today, my uncle bought be some food from outside, I told him I can't eat from outside today, but I think he was feeling sad, so I ate and it was delicious. Do I do a 48hours fast again tomorrow? WTF is this? Haven't had a homemade meal in a while.

I have bingo wings really bad on my arms, any advice at all to minimize them? I’m in my 20s and i’m down 60lbs right now, I still have 60lbs to go
>>76608676Why is it that fasting helps reduce hunger pangs? My best diet days are always when I’m fasting all day and then I break the fast before bed with a small meal
>>76608758It's a marathon, not a race. Don't ignore your family for arbitrary rules but also learn to just say no to parts of the meal you don't want and moderate yourself.If you have to do it then just consider it an OMAD day and do a good workout, then resume your fast when you can.

>>76608767It's not 100% set in stone the mechanism (mostly because its multiple complicated mechanisms together), but its a known phenomenon. Has to do with your body switching toward ketosis, and ghrelin (the hunger hormone) decreasing while leptin (satiety hormone) increases. Our evolutionary evolved bodies are used to switching between fasted and fed states because our ancestors wouldn't always have 3 meals/day on hand at all times. We are evolved to go through fasting periods and our body adapts to those conditions. Eating 3x/day is a modern invention, and it really fucks with our normal evolves selves by changing our relationship with food a lot. Even eating a small meal resets the fasting clock and our hormones kick back into wanting food.

What is the easiest way to hit my daily fiber goal? It seems to be the only thing i am consistently failing to reach. Is there like a super low calorie high fiber food?
canned tuna in olive oil is so fucking good, wish I could eat it every day
>>76608161This is interesting to see. I didnt think I had the discipline to stick to a 1000 calorie deficit but it turns out its really easy for me. Ive been cutting for 3 weeks and already lost 10lbs so I should probably actually eat a bit more. Seeing someone overshoot their deficit this badly gives me anxiety. It would be painful to do that even one day. It would be soul crushing to feel the desire to eat that badly, a desire to eat so strong it interfered with my long term goals. Im sorry man.
>>76605954I like to put salt on a plate and dip my finger, eating the salt.Or get pill capsules and fill them with salt.
>>76608767fasting changes your hormones in a shit load of ways to prevent your body from breaking down or your mind from going insaneone of the hormones that signal hunger (ghrelin) adapts to your eating schedule, and goes down significantly each day you continue to fast. It's also been observed that it stays consistently lower for weeks after finishing extended fasts.

>>76608864You can supplement with psyllium husk, it's just straight up fiber. Otherwise more green veggies, carrots, raspberries.
>>76608987the tuna they put in cans doesn't actually have that much mercury, 1 tin a day is fine.
>>76608993I did and it said that one can a day is over the recommended limit
>>76609010I have no idea where you read that but it's completely wrong mercury poisoning from chunk light tuna (the most common type) is basically impossible unless you're eating 4-5 cans a day for monthsAlbacore and yellowfin have 3x as much mercury as chunk light (and less selenium, which has an anti mercury absorption effect on your body), and the only recorded cases of mercury poisoning have come from albacore tuna. The fisherman guy that got poisoned was eating the equivalent of over a pound of albacore each day for months.

My god i must have eaten like such a pig.

Just returned from a two hour semi-hike walk Fucking love walking
>>76608882I have been doing a 1000 calorie deficit for about 3 months without too much difficulty. If I get hungry, I might eat something light high in protein, maybe 200 kcal max, and that's enough to put an end to it. I don't see how I could be so hungry that end eating 2000 calories more, that just doesn't happen unless you just ignore your hunger and binge. The reason I got so far in the first place is because I ate out of boredom, not hunger. Looking at my weight loss after this time (15 kg), I am probably closer to a 1200 kcal deficit in practice.

Please tell me im not the only one whos transition to calorie counting + fasting has been messy, or was i this close to diabetes?If you were normal and went to a junkfood diet you'd feel the same way. Guys that do 3 months in boot camp for the Marines almost always hit McDonalds up on the way home before their next posting and they end up getting sick and shitting their brains out. You're going to feel like shit in the near term until you fully adopt a new diet, stop eating high calorie slop and make your food from scratch, literally get everything out of your house that is packaged food and just have ingredients like potatoes or lettuce, tomatoes, beans, chicken, ground beef etc.
>>76609287I never eat breakfast and still got fat so no. It makes calorie counting way easier though.
>>76607562this is kind of out there but maybe sinus headaches? Maybe pressure is building up in your sinuses throughout the lift. I notice that happens to me but I don't get a headache, just a little stuffy. Could try some afrin nose spray before the gym to fully open your sinuses to see if it makes a difference.
How can I get shredded as fast as possible if I'm not actually fat? Should I just fast?I'm around 5'10 and 179lbs right now, have semi-visible abs when flexed, so I suspect around 13% or so. I spent over a year losing weight somewhat steadily from 215lbs to 170lbs and it was pretty miserable since I became a cardiofag, didn't lose much strength because I didn't have a lot to begin with. I gained some muscle rapidly on a linear progression program in the last couple of months so I look similarly lean at 179lbs as I did at 170lbs, which is good, I know half of this is probably water weight too, but it bothers me because I never truly got fully lean. I suspect I'm not far off the goal and probably need like 6lbs of fat loss
>>76607965hot dogs with mayonnaise???

>>76609454His mom announced a surprise visit this weekend
>>76609451I think I just never got lean enough, you can tell by waist size. I made it to around 31" at my very lowest but I'm about 32" or just over right now. I think 30" is probably a good goal to ensure that I'd be actually fully lean. I started to see veins on my arms but they were never clear and defined if that makes sense, like there was just a few more % to go.>>76609454I'm still pushing my progression in lifting hard and I think my strength progress suffers on a slight deficit the longer I let it go on, as I learned last year, whereas if I can lose a huge amount in a couple weeks or so, it might be hard but I don't feel the same kind of weakness and suffering for anywhere near as long and can bounce back fast or maintain strength.
>>76609470eat 1200 calories a day, do 5 hours of light cardio day. a mix of jogging/walking/bikeyou can probably lose 4 pounds in a week
>>76609356Can't deny that I crave pizza when I'm hungry but when I eat some meat it stops
>>76609501>5 hours of light cardio a dayWhy would I do more cardio instead of just barely eating for a few days instead? Increasing energy expenditure instead of decreasing further?
>>76609520cardio tightens up your body and sort of distributes your fat more evenly, so you wont hold fat in areas like your stomach
>>76609563>cardio tightens up your body and sort of distributes your fat more evenly, so you wont hold fat in areas like your stomachthat means I will be tight and hot?
>>76609356I’ve been keto for two months and I mostly crave meat and the couple days I cheated on my deficit were because I ate too much steak or ground beef rather than gorging on carbs or sugar.

They have so many weird machines that'll just train the muscles you want and leave everything else preciously untouched. but you're probably going to want to train your shoulders at some point. also grip. grip is good. you could get gloves for it though, if you don't want your hands to betray that you indulge in the occasional bout of effort.

i blinked and a big bag of cheese doodles + a hersheys bar disappered before my eyes... idk i think this news im consuming got me stress eating or something
>>76610666Having been on this for a bit, you could probably make it to 20 without really trying. I'm averaging 1.5kg a week and I don't do shit besides not eat as much. Don't worry too much about dosage. As long as you don't feel hungry, it's working and if they tell you that you need to increase your dose, yet you're still seeing the same results, ignore them, they're just trying to get you on the more expensive doses quicker.You will probably get some digestive side effects at some point along the way. So, be prepared for that, but they come and go, and it's not a huge deal.

At worst I'll buy some protein bars.I filed that stuff under "snacks" because the app doesn't have a category for "stuff I eat at night because I feel so hungry that I can't sleep"
Fucking help me /'fit/. I fucked up an exercise and injured a lat or something. My entire right pec and shoulder blade hurt at the slightest movement, and I purposely took on a physically demanding job to keep losing weight. Right now even sitting still hurts, but it's better than laying down because that's much worse. Have work in a couple of hours, is there any stretch or medicine I can take?
I’m 88.5 kg (~195 lbs) and aiming to get down to 72.5 kg (~160 lbs). I’m using LoseIt as my calorie tracking app.I’ve lost weight before with calorie counting but gained it all back and more. This time I want to make lasting changes. I’m comfortable with tracking, I know how to eat, what to avoid, and how to cook healthier alternatives.My work is mostly sitting at a desk, so I set my activity level in the app to Not Active. That gives me a budget of about 1600–1700 calories per day to lose 0.5 kg per week. I also selected the high protein program.I don’t really enjoy weight lifting and it’s not practical for my current lifestyle. Instead, I train boxing 2–3 times a week for about an hour. These sessions are very intense — I’m drenched in sweat at the end and it’s both cardio and muscularly demanding. I was looking into adding weightlifting sessions as well, but this means I can't recuperate from the boxing training effectively enough, or the boxing means I can't recuperate from the weight lifting sessions. Kind of a hassle.Where I’m confused: when I log boxing into the app, it adds 600–800 calories back into my budget. I feel like that’s overestimated, but I often eat those bonus calories as a reward. I’m worried this might be slowing or stalling my fat loss.My main question is: Should I stick to my base budget (1600–1700 calories) every single day, regardless of exercise, or is it fine to eat the extra calories the app gives me?
>>76611813>goal weight: 70 kg>height: 179 cmbrother, I'm 169cm and my target is like 72 at the lowest. 70kg is way too low for your height, you're going to be way too skinny

>>76611860Eating back calories is a terrible idea, especially as a reward. You don't need an 800 calorie reward for boxing. That's a very disordered mindset, no offense. If you're hot and sweaty after a boxing workout, eat a 50 calorie fudge sickle. You don't need 800 calories of food as a reward, Again, no offense, but that's how you got to the situation that you're at right now. Stick to the budget that the application gives you before exercise. If you're tempted to eat back the calories, for example, if you burn 800 (or so it says in the application), just add something like 8 tablespoons of butter in the snack section just to get yourself back to baseline calorie intake so that the number doesn't change and you aren't tempted.
>>76611704That's my point. Say you maintained at 2500 calories and you fast for two days, you didn't run at a 5000 deficit purely off of fat stores because it wasn't long enough, right? If it's roughly 3500 calories to 1lb of fat, it would be slightly more than that amount burned, but not actually 5000 calories worth of fat since you needed a day to deplete stores. So it would be like 1lbs of fat loss over 48 hours rather than closer to 2lbs?>your body refills the glycogen stores over the next 1-2 days while running off of fatIs there some kind of delay before you start using food again?
>>76611915what I'm saying is that on the app, my budget will be 1600, but if I train while wearing my apple watch, or manually add the training in the app as "1h of boxing", it will automatically add 500/600 calories to my budget. So I can eat some shit and still be "within budget" according to my calorie tracker. And I FEEL like that's wrong.I got where I am because I stopped tracking, when I track I track correctly, I just feel like this specific part of tracking is weird.
>>76611933You addressed literally none of what I said and all of what I said addressed what's in this post.
>>76611937My original question is, if my budget of 1600 comes from telling the app i have NO PHYSICAL ACTIVITY WHATSOEVER, are the extra 600 calories on days WITH PHYSICAL ACTIVITY a good estimate? I feel like eating a 50 calories fudge isn't enough to fit the gap between NO PHYSICAL ACTIVITY and ACTUAL PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
>>76611942It's an irrelevant question. You shouldn't be eating back those calories. You don't need an 800 calorie "reward". You're trying to lose weight. The point is to consume less calories than you burn. I don't know what's so hard about this.
>>76611942The entire point of exercise to lose weight is to keep the gap as big as possible, not to fit it in with more food
>>76611910I guess I could just do that yeah, I don't like skipping work but you're probably right. I've had this pain for almost a week now, working since last Friday, and it was getting better but today I woke up from pain ten times worse that it was at its worst. Thanks anon.
>>76611933I'd caution against overestimating calories burned from activity, and would prefer to underestimate rather than overestimate so that you can eat and still be certain you can maintain a good deficit.>>76611942I'd lean towards 300 calories extra on days with more activity like those with an hour of a cardio session or an hour of lifting, or boxing in your case. It's better to eat as little as possible for performance and consistently hit your targets if you can, so there is no requirement to increase either. If it turns out you were burning 500 calories extra in reality, it just means you'd get some "bonus" fat loss but you'd never accidentally eat more than you burned.
>>76611949>>76611951Ok let me rephrase this>If I tell the app I don't do activity, it sets my budget to 1600>If I tell the app I do some activity, it sets my budget to 2200>If I tell the app I don't do activity, and then do activity anyways, it automatically puts me up to 2200that's what I find weird
>>76611959perfect answer, thanks boss
>>76611960At this point, you're just purposely pretending to miss the point that people are making. You don't actually want help. Nothing you are saying makes any sense.
>>76611960who gives a shit what some gay app says, just eat 1600 a day and stop overthinking
>eat 250 grams of lean pan-fried pork and like 250 grams of mashed potatoes with 66 grams of peas and some milk for lunch>Rounds out to like 600-700 calories>Barely hungry the rest of the day, can eat some cabbage or carrots in the evening with some water and be fineWhat the fuck
>>76612088
>>76612101It's so based also because mashed potatoes actually keep decently, all other potatoes go to shit when you reheat them and it takes a fair while to cook them
>>76612106Based potato enjoyer
>>76612106abject derangement or you have never held a pan in your life
>>76612121Boiled potatoes take like 20 minutes at least, pasta takes like 8 minutes

Started taking Nebivolol to lower my blood pressure. It didn’t lower it one bit but now my resting heart rate is 35. Now I’m trying to order telmisartan with crypto from some “research chemicals” website so I don’t die. Life is hell. BP was 156/82 this morning and I have already lost 30 pounds and that didn’t help it at all either. Also been doing cardio and walking 4 miles a day that didn’t change my blood pressure either. Also using every over the counter supplement that claims to lower BP and they do nothing
>>76611831yes black coffee, i roast the beans myself>>76611866girls like lean, plus it is right on the middle of the healthy BMI chart
>>76611866>brother, I'm 169cm and my target is like 72 at the lowest160 pounds? the fuck? that's 30 more than what im at right now and i'm 170cmunless your frame is wide as fuck or you've been lifting for years you're going to still be at least 20% bf at that weightget real nigga
>weight loss finally starting to show>at the same time as my hair lossit's never been more over
day one of tracking calories.
>>76612162Just get a wig bro ez fix. I have no idea why everyone is so scared of wigs. If mine were to fall off in front of a girl I would say “hold this for me” and put it on her or something lol make her say stoooopittttt… y’all make hair so fucking important nobody gives a shit. Be bald and get a tan. Or get a wig. Or get a hair transplant if you are a rich fag who can waste 10k. No big deal as long as you got your balls and your spirit some bitch ass hair can’t stop you
>>76612151On the off chance that this comes off sounding condescending, since you're already at the stage where you're using crypto to order research chemicals, have you tried drastically lowering your salt and/or Doing actual legitimate research into proven supplements like hibiscus, potassium, beetroot, citruline and nitrate supplements?
>>76612173Diet could be better, but at least you're tracking.
>>76612173less carbs more fat
>>76612203Yeah I'm still figuring out my food choices.
>>76612195Telmisartan is a legitimate medication I just don’t feel like I could stand waiting a month to see a doctor and then deal with them trying to dick me around or give me a different medication Yes I was eating so little salt that I was having involuntary muscle twitches all the time and I had to eat some more. I went 2 weeks without eating any salt and 2 daily bananas. I also take 5mg of cialis daily which does nothing for my blood pressure but does give me boners at the slightest stimulus
