>>76688133checked. how do I stop these god damn cravings >>76688001. no Ozempic please
>>76688185just focus on eating as much of your cals as you can in whole foods with a lot of protein and (healthy) fatthat stuff keeps you very full
>>76688185Keto
>>76688185Extended fasting unironically cured by cravings for fast food slopa
Fatty ContestHeavyObject77.9kg
>>76688197Seconded. Fasting really cured my cravings as well. As a bonus it also seems to shrink my stomach back to normal size and I get full with far less food than before.
>>76688133>Pissing out my ass>Can't tell if it's the 2 days over "best before" date pork tenderloin I had yesterday>The 1 liter sugarfree energy drinks I had yesterday>Or the new medication
>>76688193>Keto>Stop cravingsI can't tell if you're baiting or not. I did keto for like 9 months and it worked great. But I had multiple dreams about bread unironically. Every day I was craving bread and carbs in general.I lost a lot of weight, and if anything resisting the cravings helped strengthen my resolve, but do not tell people that keto WILL stop cravings.
I will go on a 30 day bread cleanseI will only eat bread
>>76688185Do what I did.Eat 3 times per day. Exactly and only 3 times.You can have only one thing per meal, so if you get a burger meal or smth, you have to save the fries for the next meal. And one slice of pizza per meal only. Satisfies the craving without wolfing an entire pie.No drinking your calories either.Went from 245 to 145 this way
>>76688280didn't jesus do that?based
so hungry...
>>76688285I bake my own bread nowWay better than the grocerystoreslop
>>76688291how long does it take?
>>76688297Took me like two yearsIf you don't become an alcoholic like I did it should be faster
>>76688280that doesn't seem very high in protein
>>76688185get rid of all the crappy foods in your house, and get on a calorie deficit first.
3 hours and 35 minutes until i can refeed after my fast.down 13 pounds in 8 days. were gonna make it bros.
just fuck my shit up senpai
>>76688431grimwhat the fuck were you eating everyday

>>76688273Different people have different experiences. But yeah, he should've prefaced it with a "though it might not work for you".>>76688431>191 to 220What are you doing? Just binging all day?
>>76688457You need to make a life plan, just losing weight isn't going to magically fix you. Figure out a career, doesn't have to actually be what you end up doing. But you need a goal to shoot for.
>>76688466How does that work? Do noses get fat?
>>76688133Went carnivorous, zero cravings. Lost 3 kgs after three weeks so far. Getting some fruit for water-soluble vitamins from time to time. I feel full and healthy as hell.Starting weight: 119 kgsGoal: 90 kg
>>76688457>losing weight didn't help me and i still ended up as a 32 year old incel with no friendsI mean it's literally the hardest thing in life to build meaningful relationships once you're out of school, but it's not impossible. And everything is significantly easier when you're not a fat fuck. Get a grip, anon. You're worth it.Have you tried engaging with local communities that share your hobbies? Do you even have hobbies?
>>76688558been playing a sport for almost 2 years now

>>76688593Dreams have zero calories, try eating less.
>>76688566And within that sport, is there no connection to your peers?
>>76688558...wait, people have trouble with this?I'm autistic as fuck and I'm constantly making new friends
>>76688197>>76688225thanks. I've tried a single full day fast and sometimes it's tough. but I may incoroprate this let's say once a week. >>76688282interesting idea, thanks>>76688356oh trust me the food in my house is pretty "clean", the problem is I have these cravings to physically leave my house, get take out bullshit, and come back to an empty house and binge on it. THAT'S the problem
>>76688633well just try to stop eating anything highly processed for as long as you can to break that food addiction, and eat at a calorie deficit.try omad and fasting. that's the only advice i got. also try thinking "the hunger means im losing weight"
>>76688133Fatty here, a while ago while being fat and lazy scrolling on twitter, I came across a post of a dude explaining how even big weak fatties can do pushups by doing inclined pushups against a wall, then lowering until they can do regular pushups. I'm not sure why this lit a fire under my ass but it did and I started doing my fatty pushups, 50 reps x 3 sets daily. Then I started doing them in doorways so I could lower the angle. For the first time in over 20 years I'm able to do proper pushups now on the floor but my fat stomach hits the ground and makes it awkward.I've also incorporated some other minor calisthenics and free weights (dumb bells and easy bar curls) into my pretty low intensity workouts.I started seeing gains in my arms and shoulders and mirin' myself in the mirror - but I still look like a big fat ass so I can't tell other people about it. Still, feels good. I've also started taking creatine and trying to get more protein and less junk in my diet without actually counting calories and shit like that, after doing the math it seems like I could eat an absolute metric ton of calories and still lose weight so I just need to work out and not eat stupid shit.I'm trying, it's nice feeling strong again. I've been trying to surround myself with fitness content just to keep me motivated and in the right mind space to keep this going. Which is why I've been lurking on fit lately. Feels good man.
>>76688636thank you. for years I have rationalized my poor eating habits ("this is a reward", "I feel terrible, this will make me feel better", and my favorite: "tomorrow is the first day of the rest of my life, my diet truly starts tomorrow"). I need to buck the fuck up
>>76688608no, at my age most people are just too busy. when it finally feels like you're making a connection they just leave the country/city

>>76688707By you
Finally getting back in groove of fasting and doing 10k steps and over I’ve lost 32 pounds fairly slowly but it’s sped up a bit the past 2 weeks I’m so close to fitting In my suit again can’t wait to be back to my old self
>>76688716for you.
>>76688631yeah it's actually not that easy to connect to people, especially if you're in an age range where it's common for folks to have a spouse and kids. good on you if you manage to make new friends, keep them close.>>76688653well that sucks big time. is there anything keeping you from trying out living in another country then? maybe something will work out in your favor.
>>76688648>>76688694this is the way. keep at it, start counting your calories and before you know it you'll see a difference. good job so far, anon!
Bros, I found the ultimate hack to lose fat.It's heartbreak. I was 68kg and I've lost 10kg in almost 2 months because I have zero appetite and I can easily go days without eating. Coffee and cigarettes are the best and I can't stomach more than a few spoonfuls of food at a time.
>>76688185Pizza is the worst thing cause you take 1 or 2 slices and are still within your calorie limit, but the other 4-6 slices are still there in your kitchen and it's so easy to say "well, I may as well finish them/treat myself" and then pig out. Imagine an alcoholic who's daily walk through town takes him past 5 pubs. If you were him, why hope that you can have the willpower to avoid going into one of them on your commute when you could just take a 5 minute detour? Making an easy decision earlier can avoid having to make an impossible willpower save later. Avoid all foods with more portions than you can fit into your budget. If you really want a pizza you can get a single slice or mini frozen pizzas or something.
>>76688741Pathetic
>>76688731I honestly don't think I'm going to count calories or do macros (at least not for a long while) I'm so fat right now that doing the calculations in the article posted by OP I can lose weight eating 3k+ calories a day (Which was a big eye opener for me the first time I calculated it) as long as I don't eat stupid shit and do <any kind of work out> I should be losing weight.Honestly, the weight doesn't matter half as much as seeing actual gains in the mirror did so I'm kind of not even worried about the weight as much as the shape. I got down to under 300 when I was focusing on just the weight but I would rather build muscle than lose weight... maybe that's dumb, I dunno.
>>76688750lmao peak ngmi
>>76688741no woman has or will ever love me
>>76688741i found the ultimate hack to lose fat.cut all your limbs off
>>76688262Too much salt, it's sitting in your intestine and leeching all the water out, make sure to replenish your fluids
Had my first cheat day since the start of the diet due to birthday party circumstances.I will never calorically recover from this.
>>76688741sorry to hear anon. it's funny, everyone is different. during times of heartbreak I find [spoiler]temporary and fleeting[/spoiler] comfort in food
I don't care anymore, food is all i have in life. I AM GOING TO BINGE ALL WEEKEND LONG!
>>76688747>imagine walkable citiesNo sorry, I cant
>>76688847listen here you little shit
Still plugging along. Down 145lbs at this point, 45lbs since March.Finally close enough to 199 to feel it. Punishing myself with a brutal hike once I get there.I have no idea what my real goal weight will end up being. Ive been targeting 199 for so long that I couldn't even think beyond that weight. I will probably aim for 180 and then check back in.
>>76688865Post body
>>76688865based and very good for you anon. please share what you're doing to get the weight off - what have you found the most helpful? what sorts of exercising are you doing - or are you more focused on your diet? I dream of getting under 200lbs. I've touched it and my lowest was around 204lbs I think. Back at 220lbs now
>>76688633>I've tried a single full day fast and sometimes it's tough.I fast for around 95 hours a week, starting from around 3pm Saturday to 3pm Thursday. 1 day of fasting might help you a bit, but I would suggest you try out eating zero/low carb for like 3-4 days to prepare and clear your glycogen stores and then fast for 1-2 days with a goal of around 3-4 days, just remember to get some electrolytes, I have this cheap salt substitute that is 50% sodium and 50% potassium and mix around 5g to a 750ml bottle that I drink throughout the day. More days you eat in a row the harder it is to get back in track if ones goal is fasting, especially if you eat carbs and highly processed ultra palatable foods. The problem I have now days with fasting is I miss the dopamine hit I get from eating and extra yummy foods really makes the it worse. The longer I do these weekly fasts the easier it gets for me, took me around a month to get this thing really rolling, right now I'm at a point I'm probably going to switch to alternate day fasting since I don't have as much fat to lose.
Fasting doesn't work
>>76688969Ehh, on my current cut I have lost around 11kg of fat through fasting, works for me at least.
There is a beautiful man inside of me.Smothered by all the fat.
>eat>get hungrier than before I ate
>>76688750>Honestly, the weight doesn't matter half as much as seeing actual gains in the mirror did so I'm kind of not even worried about the weight as much as the shape. I got down to under 300 when I was focusing on just the weight but I would rather build muscle than lose weight...This is some mega cope, you are a gigafat, the only thing that matters is losing weight.
how long does it take for your mindset & self esteem to adjust to your new physique
>calculate bf% using navy method>25%>look at the chart and compare my look with it and generally how I feel>easy 30%Anyway, 6kg down in 44 days, 15-20 more to go.
>>76689023lol for health? 100% but I'm already crazy unhealthy, what makes you think fat people care about being healthy? I just like seeing the shape change man, it's addictive.
>>76689054>bro who needs to be healthyPeak fat shit mind
>>76688429finished it, going to have chicken and rice for dinner. fasting is too easy
Guys... I lost alot of weight this summer and went to Colombia on a trip for celebration. However I got way better fucking service this time than when I was fat, what the fuck?!Like girls were okay with me fucking them 2-2.5 hours. Some girls where okay with bareback blow jobs, some okayed going bareback too(didn't do this of course) and it was just way more animalistic than before.

When I decided to get serious about losing weight I weighed 292 pounds. This morning I weighed 262 pounds. I have reduced my weight by one tenth. I have literally decimated myself.
>>76689209gz
Does /fat/ eat protein bars? Are they filling enough for how many calories they are?
>>76689209good job
>>76689231they are not.it's food for fast and convenient calorie supplementing, not diet food.
im not fully locked in, but im pretty dialed in. losing weight still, but more slowly. feels pretty sustainable
>>76688753Women are biologically incapable of love. It's something that "romantics" (read retards) invented. Once you understand that it hurts less. Would you ask a cat to chop down a tree or get mad at a bird for flying?
>>76688865How tall are you? I would be so happy to get back under 200 at 6'0" I'm supposed to be under 180 to not be considered over weight anymore. I used to be 167 pounds but even back then my family (Mom) made me feel fat because she was a marathon runner mad at me that I couldn't keep up with her death marches through Paris on vacation at that weight.
>>76689020You probably ate the wrong food. You want something sating which to me is fiber and or meat. If you ate a bunch of carbs or sugar or bullshit food without nutrition it would explain it.
Today's eating on a cheat day (keep in mind I hit a nasty leg workout this morning)>pre workout - bacon egg cheese bagel meal (with a sugarfree iced coffee, of course) from mcdonalds (took out the top bun, gotta keep it low carb) - 700 cal/ 28 g protein>chocolate protein shake post workout - 330 cal / 33g protein>can of tuna + olive oil - 240 cals / 36g protein>cold brew coffee + full fat milk - 80 calories / 4g protein>4 chicken tender meal + diet coke + small fries - 900 calories / 25g protein>another cold brew coffee - 80 calories / 4g protein>4 eggs scrambled before going to bed (can't skip eggs) - 280 calories / 24g protein2450 calories / ~155g protein
Back on PSMF. For me I think this approach is best for adherence. Did 1500 calories a day at first last year, then I only really started PSMF around February this year, had lost 18 kg by mid April. I let myself go a bit over the summer but I'm back on the diet, lost 5.9 kg in 1 month and 2 days (not water weight). I'm still more than 20 kg lighter than I was this time last year. The diet plan is: 130 grams of protein a day, 5 omega-3 pills (50 calories), a bit of fiber if I'm hungry, electrolytes, calcium.It adds up to. ~650-800 calories a day
>at costco>try some free sausage sample>its good and cheap>check the nutrition info days later >one single sausage has 1000mg of sodium How the fuck is that even possible? They aren't even that big. This is some absolute bullshit.
>>76689338sodium does not matter and you should unironically stop caring about it
>>76689333The plan rn is to drop another 16 kg by Christmas, then take a 1-2 week break, then do another month of PSMF which should put me in a healthy weight range for the first time ever (I was a fat kid).
My feet are cooked. Put my old runners on last week and walked 30kms over the course of three days, I now have no less that 4 blisters on my feet, one the size of an egg which will affect my ability to walk this weekend, which is actually shaping up to be beautiful weather. Perhaps ill go to the beach tomorrow and walk barefoot on the sand, still havent taken the shirt off at the beach, but like a lot of us, this is a goal someday.
>>76688446It really is easy to get that high in cals. Ill eat well all day for a round 2000cals, then for no reason eat a bag of soft gummies and a block of chocolate at night for an extra easy 2500cals. I dont know why I do it, its like something I do without even thinking.
>>76688457>losing weight didn't helpIKTF fren. For the past couple of years I lose good amount of weight. I was optimistic, actually happy. But as time went on, I realised nothing much is actually changing in my life and slowely slipped back into my old habbits. Put back on 20lbs over the course of the first 6mths of this year, but coming back to these threads I've decided to pull my head out of my arse and get back on the weight loss train. I need to add some sort of social aspect to my self improvement schedule. I do everything alone, and I think that needs to change. Going to be looking for some groups in my local area, whether it be bushwalking club or a casual cycling group. Would even like to get to the point where I can participate in 5k park runs on a weekend. WAGMI man, we just gotta keep at it.
>>76689205Do you mix yourself, or buy premixed? What sort of things are in your trail mix. Ive been buying maple roasted cashews as a snack, probably not the best. I have a handfull between breakfast and lunch. Really should be weighing them out though, very easy for calories to stack up with nuts
>>76688747I am going to a friends tonight for pizza. My trick is to eat slow. I usually eat 1 slice to my friends 2-3. Its the only way I know how to still be social but not pig out.
>>76688765So would salt help get the bowels moving. I wasnt sure if salt was dehydrating or rehydrating. I should drink some salt water perhaps.
>>76689231Not protein bars, but I buy oat bars or fruit free muesli bars just to have on hand and throw in my work bag. It just might just save me from going to the shops and buying something worse when I am really craving something.
>>76689305Im only 5'8 so I will probably need to get down to 160 or so. Im down to a size 36 pant size but I still feel huge. Not sure how much it is in my head.>>76688905Mostly focused on diet. For exercise ive been doing weightlifting 2x per week and lots of walking/hiking (walking every day and at least 1 hike as difficult as I can handle). Lifting does burn a lot of calories but nothing is more important than diet. Youll get there, but it's all about consistency. I've had bad days or weeks, but you've got to get back on the wagon
>>76689328Thats a pretty good day anon. I bought a little coffee plunger this morning actually, going to start trying to make my own cold brew. The thing that concerns me though is trying to work out quantities and caffiene content. Usually just have instant so its pretty simple to work out 1 tsp in 1 mug, for around 80-100mg of caffiene, but going into brewing my own seems like it could go horribly wrong. We'll see.
Fatty ContestDemoralized109.6kg
Sorry I disappeared but I got the scale and the number I was guessing was way off. Caused me to get depressed and eat like shit for a week. Really thought I had been doing a little better. Seeing myself almost at my starting weight from 2 years ago hit me hard, I've done nothing but tread water. But there's nothing I can do but try again. This time instead of trying to wing it I'm going to do my best to track as much as I can so I can have some sort of idea of how I am making progress.
>>76689413The whole point of this process is to buy cheap ingredients individually and mix myself. Store-mixed is twice the price.1000g peanut500g cashew200g hazelnut160g pecan250g papaya 200g raisin 150g cranberryWhen you buy store-mix you get cheap ingrediens for the price of the most expensive. When it's home mix the cheap filler actually saves you a ton of money. Like I said, 1.02€ per 100g. Mixes are about 22€ per kg where I live.
>>76689301is this because of their eyes being further apart>
>>76689457Just seen you made the Hall of Fame last leg. Good job on that anon
>>76689469Sorry, wrong anon
>>76689457Made a Chronometer account based on a suggestion from one of you. It makes it a lot easier to track what I'm eating. I decided that for the rest of the month I am going to try to eat a semi keto diet. Not because I think it's the best or anything but more for personal reasons. I am terribally addicted to carbs. I was eating massive amounts of pasta/rice/bread daily. I want to try to feel what it's like to eat without that. Also more than taste I have a need to feel FULL. It's not enough to eat something tasty I need that feeling of my stomach being full. I figured with this method of eating only meat and veggies I could get more full without blowing up the calories. Went to costco with a friend and bought a bunch of bulk meat and a massive bag of frozen veggies. Going to try different ways of cooking them and just accepting that it's not going to be super tasty. Today was the first day, it was a little difficult, neither meal made me feel that same feeling I get when I get a huge pasta meal. But I don't feel like I'm starving either. I think I can handle doing this for now, hopefully I won't feel like shooting myself in a week.
>>76689454I'll make an entry. (I'm the PSMF anon above.) I used to be around 150 kg, now 102 kg. Lost 27 kg in a year, gained 11 kg in Summer, now lost 5.9 kg in a month and some. You should never feel so demoralized you give up forever. If you try something and it fails, try again, then if it doesn't work, maybe try something different. That's just my 2 cents. You can lose the weight. It can feel slow or impossible when you do it, but the neat thing about weight loss is you can always start again and you can always try different methods.
Half a chicken, a pear and blueberries for breakfast
>>76688273>ketonta, but I've been doing keto for a couple weeks now and all the fucking fat you have to eat does a number on the hunger cravings. I think combining it with a 16:8 IF helped train my body and control those cravings. If anything keeping the carbs at 10% is the easy part, figuring out how to shove 70% of your calories in fat down your gullet while also not overcapping on protein and ruining the ketosis is the real bitch
>>76688431I remember how that feels, like it takes an eternity to lose the weight and seconds to pile it all back on
>>76689485I bought 1kg of chicken tenders. Think ill throw into airfryer and have with some hommus.
>>76688466I'm having the same FUCKING issue, apparently it's because the bridge of your nose where your glasses rest on is shrinking because of the weight loss. I've had to tie a string on the back of my glasses like a fucking grandpa when I'm at home to stop them from flying off if I ever look down for more than a nanosecond
>>76688682damn nice man, what have you been doing?
>>76688741ain't that the fucking truth. I've had heartbreak that made me physically ill and had me vomiting up my food for days

Is body recomposition a meme or actually real I keep hearing differing opinions I’m 227, and have put on 4 pounds despite going gym every day for the past 2 weeks and being in a deficit
>>76688633Make it a rule that if you want to eat slop then you must walk there and back for it.
>>76689497As long as they’re not the frozen slop kind of tenders then go for it.
>>76689534Nah, they're fresh. Usually just buy chicken breast, but trying these for something different.
>>76689508You've gained maybe 1 pound of muscle in total.
>>76689508body recomp is very real but only good if you're a beginner lifterif you're 227 and haven't been lifting for years you probably have 50-60 pounds of fat to loseyou should be getting at least 120g of protein a day for recomp and still losing weight4 pounds of muscle in 2 weeks is not realistic, either you're eating more than you say or you're weighing yourself inconsistently (water weight, food in your stomach, shit in your intestines, etc.)
>>76689591>>76689605That’s hopeful then, I’m a beginner. My arms have tightened up and the flab is less.My belly and face aren’t showing anything though, it’ll take more time I suppose. I’m drinking shitloads of water and pissing constantly because I’m always dehydrated now. What’s also weird is that my appetite is non existent. Im not feeling hunger much at all. I’m only hungry late at night and will eat then. Probably not ideal desu

I get so bored on weekends and just want to eat snacks all day. I need a life.
I've been doing well, eating healthy and not eating over my calories, but today I felt the most insane hunger I've felt in months, it was absurd. I was slightly light headed I was so hungry, what causes this?

I’m not conscientiously counting calories but I was curious the other week and counted and I’m getting anywhere between 900-1300 cals a day. I’ve been 145lb for a long part of my life. I don’t have much muscle to begin with, all I want is to shift the weight as quickly as possible. Gym and macros can come later. The best thing though is i found something consistent and that fits within my lifestyle

Is a "large frame/broad shoulders" legit or fatty cope?
>>76688750you want to count calories. you need a healthy deficit to lose weight sustainably. if your deficit is too large, you'll lose a shitton of weight in a short amount of time which may potentially also cause other issues like flabby skin or issues with organs/muscles. knowing exactly how much you eat and how much you _should_ eat to keep in that good deficit is key to make your fat go and stay go.do yourself a favor, count calories.
>>76690356I have broad shouldersstill fat tho
>>76689440>It just might just save me from going to the shops and buying something worse when I am really craving something.this is incredibly wise advice. people get into the mindset that they need to 'not eat' but the real trick is to eat the right thing at the right time. don't let yourself get so hungry that it overrides your willpower and you eat something you regret later or just eat way too much. a little hunger can be ignored and it will go away, but a big hunger needs to be fed. feed it something good. something nourishing without being too calorie dense. my favorite is ground turkey. it's cheap, filling, and low calorie.
>>76690315post body
>>76689471>it IS going to be super tastyyou might not think so now but in a week you will be craving a big bowl of it. the best way to get extra flavor into the veggies is to cook them with the meat in the same pan so they absorb some of the juices and add a little spice to the whole thing (just salt and pepper is good). it's very easy to overcook veggies so you add them after the meat is already mostly cooked. if you're doing them separately or trying to avoid fat, get a george foreman grill for cooking the meat. it's fast and all the grease just drains away. the veggies should be crisp and not soggy and soft. it takes practice to cook veggies well.
>>76690366there's nothing wrong with losing a shit ton of weight in a short period of time. yeah you can hurt your organs, okay, but staying fat is way worse. if it were easy to lose a lot of weight quickly, i'd never do it any other way.

Fatty Contesthecatomb236.4lbsmy scale says I should get to 204. Wild, but maybe life will open up for me at that weight. Started the year at 241 and have been fucking around all year
>>76690315fasting is free, there's nothing to shill. historically, humans have had to survive extended periods with out much or any food. of course it's works. most major cultures and religions have some kind of fasting practice be it for religious or health reasons.
Fatty ContestThe O174.2
Consistency > everything else.If you lost a lot of weight quickly the odds of you keeping it off reduces dramatically. If you lose weight with the minimum willpower possible (almost zero, you only need the decision to start, then it's all doing) you are set up for long term success.
>>76690522I don't understand why instead of fasting, just portion out your meal in small bits throughout the day, you'll be easily matching the calories of your massive "refeed" by just pacing out the meals, and you won't have to deal with the extended periods of hunger
>>76689310>carps aren't satiating nowretard
>>76690315It does, I did 94 hours fast and lost 2.5kg.
>>76690558
>>76690538Not him but it is because eating a small meal will make me even hungrier than eating nothing. You dont need a refeed anyway, I've gone one or 2 day fasts and just broke my fast with whatever meal I usually eat when I'm not fasting
>>76690538You might have confused me with someone else but here's my experience with fasting.Lost most of my weight with intermittent fasting and weight lifting, basically just a light breakfast and a decent sized main meal. Lost 45kg, never got that hungry until I needed to be under 1500kcals to lose more fat at a decent rate. Smaller deficits were extremely slow compared to before when I was obese. You have to be so much more meticulous. One snack throws off a whole days deficit. Holidays and birthdays undo a weeks worth of dieting. Natural water weight fluctuations make it hard to see if you're even losing fat. You are almost constantly hungry, especially if you have to keep lifting.So real fasting was an easy next step. I actually found it easier. Only got hunger signals around the time I would normally eat, then they just go away. Really easy with black coffee. Seems to vary from person to person but 0kcal was easier than 1500kcal for me. I only did 24-72 hours fasts so I never really did anything special for the refeed, just my normal meals but smaller portions. After the longer 72 hours fasts my stomach shrunk a lot. Even a small salad that I would normally eat as a side was enough to make me completely full, that sick to your stomach feeling. So I couldn't even binge if I wanted to.Definitely lost some muscle and strength because I lost weight too fast with it. The fast weight loss was too addicting. I wouldn't recommend it if you think you might get addicted to it. If I did it again, I would eat more protein in between fasts and keep strength training with the same weights but drop some of the volume to retain more muscle. And stick to shorter 24-48 hour fasts only to lose weight more slowly.Fasting won't work for everyone's lifestyle but if you can fit 1 or 2 days a week, that's huge deficit so you can maintain or lose weight really easily without feeling hungry all the time. These days I do cardio as well.
>>76690538It's obvious you haven't ever done a fast. You get used to the hunger. Yeah, it's still there, but it disappears into the background. You still get hungry spacing out meals, so it's not like that's an actual advantage. I find not eating for extended periods a much easier approach than having to weigh everything, and specifically construct meals for weight loss. It's just a different approach to cico. Anyone not retarded is also not doing big refeeds, that's literally the opposite of what you're supposed to do, that's just setting yourself up for failure. The real reason to avoid fasting is the sleep issues that literally everyone gets, and that tend to fuck with you long term, and if you're actually active, lifting and anything that's actually hard on your body and needs recovery gets really hard to impossible.
>>76689038you tell us anon>>76690538I'm fasting 16/8, I skip breakfast and I'm fine with it cause I'm not hungry in the morning, I was eating because "muh most important meal of the day" and I was eating sugary stuff cause that was easy to eatI sometimes get hungry one hour before lunch when I start work early but otherwise no hunger at all
>>76690315I've found that fasting alone has minimal benefits, I agree. However when combined with something like keto or another restrictive diet it really does add a positive benefit
>>76690639I'm in the same boat, doing 16:8 IF with my feeding window from Noon-8pm. Trying to eventually get to 18:6 from Noon-6pm, but the extra couple hours help with flexibility depending on what's going on that day. Usually I'll get the biggest hunger pangs around 10-10:30am, thankfully black coffee/green tea doesn't break your fast and helps suppress appetite and gets me though that last stretch

I blew-off my walk for the first time in over a year yesterday and I feel fine about it, great even.I thought I'd feel like a quitter, a ngmi, -something-, but it actually felt good to take it easy for a change. Think I might just take a week off, no running, no 10k step walks, no lifting, just rest, relax, and recover, see how I feel. I've lost 150+lbs from where I started, I'm in "Healthy" weight territory instead of "Obese III" now for the first time in my adult life.I deserve a break every once in awhile right? Why shouldn't I take a week off?
>>76690790it's ok to let your inner bitch get a win every once in a blue moon
>>76690790You earned a rest. You were literally carrying the weight of a whole extra person around with you. Just don't let it go on too long. You'll probably get the itch to exercise within a week or two anyway.
I've lost about 15kg and I swear I don't feel any different... but I went to the grocery store today and on a whim I decided to pick up and carry three 5kg bags of rice while I shopped just to see the difference. I know it's not a great comparison because the fat was evenly distributed across my body, but god damn it's hard to believe I was just walking around like that all day every day.

Had a very nice day out with some friends, but holy fuck alcohol is the death of diets.I tried roughly remembering what I drank yesterday:- Apple cider 150ml- White wine (anywhere from 2l to 3l)- Beer (Pils) 500ml- Apple cider with water 500ml- More white wine (150ml)- Sambuca (40 ml)- A guiness (570ml)And that's the lower bound, I'm sure there's a bunch I don't remember properly, safe to assume like another liter of beer in there and some shots. That's like 2000 kcals just from drinks, plus obviously drunk me made bad choices and had a giant pizza too.I gotta do a fast or something. Don't even want to imagine how much this will fuck with my metabolism.I don't regret it because it was a nice evening and we had fun, but goddamn these evenings have to stay rare or I'm losing a ton of progress.
>>76690865>do they shove that shit in plastic bags and boil it?If it's a place that makes them for breakfast buffet in bulk they usually overcook them and then store them in a steamed container which gives that certified "rubber tire" consistency. If they make them to order they should range from "meh" to "great" usually.
>>76690790You deserve a break, but you must make sure it's limited in time, set yourself a deadline or something. It's easy to lose control otherwise.
>>76690940I wish it was just that. I have noted down basically everything. Unless the oil i used once or twice had 6million calories in it, I just don't see how it adds up.I imagine it's just the body holding onto water or something, and it'll go down eventually. But, it's very demoralizing not to have the constant dopamine hits of a number changing.
>>76690986>Unless the oil i used once or twiceNTA, but you not logging oil of all things makes me think you may not be as accurate as you think in your tracking. Most people (me included) are not.>I imagine it's just the body holding onto water or something, and it'll go down eventually. But, it's very demoralizing not to have the constant dopamine hits of a number changing.Definitely possible. Just keep course and if nothing keeps happening for too long, try something to shake stuff up. A short fast, more exercise, or a bit of further reduction of your caloric intake. I know about myself that I'm not perfect with logging every little thing, so I just deducted that headroom from my daily allowed kcals so I don't have to worry about it. Works well for me, won't work well for others. It's all about finding things that work for yourself in the end.

>>76691146Depends, too much salt is definitely bad for you if you ingest so much it throws off your sodium/water ratio, that said most people aren't going to willingly ingest that much salt without their body physically rejecting it. For fatties like us, sweating our asses off, eating less, its far more likely that we're depriving ourselves salt and to maintain our electrolyte levels we should probably be supplementing rather than avoiding salt.
