how many years has ducktroon been /looosing/ now kek don't take any advise from xer

>>76735686
this was just the format of the threads when i came here a few months ago, i'm closing in on 60 pounds lost

I finally understand the temptation to fast to "undo" the damage done the day before. Was doing so well except I was too busy to cook yesterday so I made the mistake of ordering out...unfortunately they were doing a buy 1 get 1 free thing at a restaurant so I figured I would "save" money, get the 2 and just stick the other portion in the fridge for tomorrow. It didnt work out. Not only would a fast reset the progress but it would also "punish" me and in a weird cathartic way make me feel better. But I assume that way lies disordered eating. I still want to try fasting but when I do itll be for the right reasons.
Anyway thanks for reading my blog.

>eat 2 eggs on brown toast for lunch

I don't think there's anything wrong with taking accountability and making up for mistakes. The biggest problem comes from when you continue to lie and make empty promises with yourself. Fasting is a tough challenge, and there are other ways to burn off a meal.

>>76735948
you'll make it anon, I believe in you. If you're really feeling the craving, this is something I've done with success.
I go a week ahead in my meal plan and plan out how I would incorporate that fast food meal into my macros for that day. Once I have everything planned out and accounted for within my diet, I leave it there until the date comes up. If I'm still feeling the urge, then I can feel comfortable getting it because I know I'm not gonna overeat and I've accounted for the "cheat" meal.
At least for me that satisfies the immediate urge I'm feeling because I know it's in my future, and during the next 7 days my craving for it gradually fades and I'm not interested in it anymore

Luckily there's a Pollo Tropical near me so my fast food can be some dry ass chicken and rice

>>76735948
i got fast food just now. but i tracked all my food for the day this morning to see what i'd be able to get away with. had up to 700 calories available, but kept it under 500 in case i get hungry later. i miss my 1200 calorie slop meals, but that is why i got fat.

>>76736096
When i eat out I just OMAD it so 1200 calorie meal isnt really anything if that all you eat.

>>76736103
yeah that's an option. i definitely see the appeal. i'm just not sure how well bodies absorb all the nutrients and protein and shit when you eat like a snake, so i'm just doing 16/8

>>76736119
Cheat meal should be once in awhile anyway so it wouldn't matter for a day

There is some sort of... aura? I crashed out yesterday after a terrible day at work. Lots of eating and snacking. I went to sleep without really eating anything and woke up the next day with no hunger pangs or anything. I decided that it was the day I got back on track. I was met with a ham biscuit. An hour later I got some tuna arepa thing with mayonnaise. A guy I did a minor (2 dollar) favor the other day offered me a plate from a food truck that outside for the day, because I "looked weirdly skinny". I do not think that a pathetic 15 hour fast makes you look weird? I completely pigged out yesterday. There is some aura that makes people want to make you fail out of the goodness of their heart.

I bought a food scale, ate less, ate better, moved more. The moving more part is optional too, I just go for a 30 minute to an hour walk every now and again. It really isn't that hard to lose weight and the only reason I was ever a whale to begin with was because I was lazy and depressed and didn't give a shit about anything but then I found a reason to not want to be a fat fuck anymore and read the OP instructions and went from there. Also I am not fucking starting a gofundme no one is going to give a shit about some random fatass on the internet and I don't want my face out there.

I wish I could pay some dude to beat me senseless when I do this to myself, would really work as some proper deterrence for once.
Can’t even make it up properly since I’m not allowed to fast Sundays so a 1 day fast will have to suffice.
Surely next week will be better.

I might just be incredibly shit at meal planning but I'm finding it incredibly hard to hit 150+g of protein and 30g of fibre within ~1700-2000 calories (I prefer to be on the lower end, but am okay with 2000)
Do I really need fibre, really.

>>76736460
Just take some sugar free metamucil, you can drink 2-3 servings per day and it's practically no calories, also helps to feel full

>>76734951
I'll look into that, I've never tried sugar free jello as a snack, how much of it do you eat on a typical day, how many calories in a pack? I'm the type of fatty who eats when he's bored and likes to have something to shove into his fat face pretty much all day, and instead of denying myself something I let myself have as much slushy as I can handle.

Which is a lot. I'll eat this shit until I'm shivering.

I'll fucking down 4 or 5 of these a day sometimes to combat particularly rough cravings, but usually only about 2 or 3 full jars a day. The jar on my blender is 2L so like 4L~6L a day is my typical amount. Which I realize is a ton, but its better than eating pizza, oreos, twinkies, or pretty much anything with calories.

Does walking my usual 10k steps hurt me if I'm on 48h fast? Never fasted before, but I've been stalling for the past 2 weeks, so I'm trying fasting over the weekend.

Its what old people take to keep their poops "regular". Its a brand of flavored psyllium husk, its pretty as dense a source of dietary fiber as you can get. Most people don't get enough fiber and fiber can help you feel full. That said don't go crazy on the stuff, you can cause blockages if you go overboard, stick to the normal dosage.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MggKIfEld4

Or just buy generic psyllium husk instead of getting fleeced like a retard?

>>76736519
i'll probably just buy some of these instead, but thank you to the metamucil anon regardless for putting me onto this, didn't even know this existed
if I had another 500-750 calories to play with I could probably get enough fibre (with enough thought beforehand at least), maybe when I'm not 280lbs

>>76736519
I'm the retard that first mentioned metamucil, never looked into generic psyllium husk but I can see it's much cheaper. Not complaining though, the metamucil in water tastes like juice so no regrets. Maybe I'll switch when it runs out. Thanks bro

I tried offbrand psyllium and it went all gel like and was horrible. Metamucil is pretty smooth for the most part. its not really that expensive for how much you get out of it.

>>76736555
Metamucil and husks are retarded. If you need to buy these things it's because your body can't digest the food you're eating.

>>76736561
I mostly agree with this, once I started eating broccoli stalks too instead of just the florets it pretty much solved all of this for me and I didn't need to supplement fiber anymore. You just need to find a fiber source you like and if you get it in your regular food all the better. I used to just cut the stalks off and throw them out, but I tried eating them once and found they're just as delicious as the rest of the broccoli. I have no idea why I was throwing it out all these years, now I just chop them up and eat them with the rest of it and they've got a ton of fiber.

>>76736573
Maybe I am just being a little bitch but I always reach a point where I cant eat stuff anymore. I dont think I would last with broccoli stalks

>>76736460
just remembered red lentils exist maybe I should just put those in everything i eat

>>76736576
Yeah its always going to be a matter of personal taste, I love broccoli stalks, I eat them like chips, I like the crunch, I like the thick fibrous texture, and I like the flavor. They're perfect for me, raw or cooked, but you're going to have to find what works for you.

That can be psyllium husk, that can be chia seeds, raspberries, beans, sweat potatoes, ect, lots of options out there, try stuff, see what works for you. I recommend real food over supplements, they tend to be more enjoyable, but if supplements work for you, you do you bro. I find psyllium husk to be very unpalatable and prefer to just get my fiber in my normal meals from my regular food.

>>76736570
Your body doesn't need fibre. It all comes down to what your body can digest and our body was meant to digest raw animal products.
Even if you don't want to eat raw meat, organs and eggs, cooking them a little bit to make it more palatable will still do your digestive tract a world of good.
Animal products and wild fruits should be the only thing we eat but it's too unsustainable in today's world unless you want to live like a hermit (plus all our meat is contaminated to begin with and finding wild fruit is hard, apart from coconuts). At least make animal foods the bulk of your diet.

In a desperate push to lose 25kg in 10 weeks (which I won't do) I've decided to try fasting for 3 days, eating 1kg of lean protein on the 4th, then fasting for 3 more days every week. My next eating window is Tuesday. Wish me luck.

God speed to us

Intermittent fasting has me eating less and consuming less calories(1500 total). I also limited my sugar and carbs intake so I'm feeling a lot better and satiated longer but I still do eat carbs some day.
What foods should I add or remove in my diet?
Don't tell me to do keto, I can't.
For protein I have
>rib eyes
>salmon/Tuna
>chicken breast
For greens and veggies
>lettuce
>tomatoes
>broccoli
>sweet potatoes
>red beats
>kidney beans
Drink
>water
>coconut water
>black coffee
>sometimes pepsi zero

>>76737056
It will be very tight but it might be possible depending on how big you are if you manage to stick with it
That’s a big if though, I hate to not be motivational but that sounds downright miserable for 10 weeks, to be honest you might be better off just doing a long water fast instead of eating a bunch of chicken breast or whatever every few days
Make sure you research your shit and do it properly, get the right amount of electrolytes and if you feel like shit, tone it down
Godspeed

>>76737113
I will be reasonably satisfied if I can lose 10kg in that time. Ecstatic if I can do 15.

>>76737118
How much do you weight? 1 kg a week is pretty standard for someone even just slightly overweight doing an average diet
If you’re above that you’ll most likely lose more, especially if you’re just starting a diet, and if you’re fasting

>>76737126
I've been on the Mounjaro for 1.5 months now.
125kg

>>76737111
Looks similar to my rotation. I use Ground turkey a lot too for proteins, I used butternut squash a lot to add to mash potato. I also like zucchini cut up and thrown in the airfryer with a a bit of olive oil and also I like cucumber and pickles. I find it easier like you, just to have a small rotation of foods and stick with that. Once every two weeks ill grab a pizza, but thats just to break things up a little, I'm not exactly craving it.

Was anyone else a victim of foodie parents? Bloody hell I moved out a month ago and lost 5 KG, dieting is a casual thing now and it considerably less stressful now I'm not being scolded for it.

Pissed off by my parents for making me fat in my high school years tho

>>76738029
Yes. My parents simply love watching me eat, i guess, so throughout all of my life they always made sure i ate a lot. It didn’t help that they didn’t know a thing about nutrition, so we always had ultra processed foods around the house too. When i moved out (college) i stopped eating all that to save money and realized for the first time that i’m not naturally fat lol, started shedding fat like crazy.

3. Getting a haircut

5. Slowly starting exercising (beginning with walking)

>>76738056
Yeah, i really have no clue. I love my parents, but i can’t deny i’ve had to catch up on a lot of things since i left their home. My relationship with food is very wonky - i can’t really eat carbs (other than potatoes and sweet potatoes, which are fine), since they get me hungrier and on a binging path. Fibers and protein are fine, so that’s what i try to eat everday. It took me a good while to learn what was best for me, but i’m truly astonished by how easy it was to lose weight once i let go of my parents’ diet. Now i just need to lose a few more kilos to stop being skinnyfat…

It used to be difficult trying to figure out how to stay within my deficit. But as time went on I just ate more quality food and now a more often occuring thought is "how the fuck am I supposed to hit my goal today" and I'm not even that hungry anymore.
Tried to eat a large pizza a few weeks ago, something that was easily accomplished before I started taking weight loss seriously, and I struggled. I struggled to eat the whole damn pizza. Even had some leftover slices for the next day.
We're really doing it, anons.

Just work out. I’ve been in the best shape of my life just by working out 4x a week, walking at least 10k steps a day, and eating under 2500 calories. Even just eating 1,500-2,000 calories you will still gain muscle while losing weight. Anybody who says it’s more complicated that is trying to sell you something or wants to sound “cool” bc I know what to do and you don’t

>>76738825
What about your apartment/ building gym? I used to use the apartment gyms of friends before I got my own place

I haven’t lost weight in almost a year and have run out energy and motivation. I just don’t care anymore. I lost the battle. I’m permanently 10kg from goal weight and my pleasure-seeking brain won’t let me go farther. It feels like my lifestyle and habits are locked in for life now and my brain is no longer malleable unless I have someone pointing a gun at my head

>>76738825
you are fat. just use your own weight to train. really no need for machines to get fit.

>>76738838
my apartment gym is just some treadmills, i dont think they even have a squat rack

>>76738840
You need a buddy. Somebody you give written permission (bc contracts matter when you’re stuck) to be a dick to you and necessary and support you. There will be times when you’re being faggy but your buddy can be like, we signed a contract, get your ass in the gym, I’ll meet you there in 30 minutes

>>76738843
All you really need is free weights, a bench, and an pully system. Anything other that that, is unnecessary.

>>76738840
Reality is an illusion, just look at it from the perspective of a future you that's already lost the 10kg. What is he doing? He's walking those extra couple miles a day, not eating the pointless sugary snack. He's hitting the weights. He likes what he sees in the mirror. Even his dick is looking bigger. It was worth the effort. But he was always going to do it and so are you. Just got to be him, but you are already him so its just a matter of time. Gotta keep going and do what you remember him doing.

>>76738845
That’s my problem. I have no friends. When I lived with my mother I asked her if she could keep an eye on what I eat and she told me it’s not her job and that she shouldn’t have to (she got weight loss surgery btw).
>>76738862 I appreciate the effort but mind games like this have no effect on me anymore

>>76738862
Based. Getting started is always the hardest part. Once you see results you start to crave it. No food or booze can ever beat looking and feeling good and having people look at you with respect and not some fat drunken slob

If you're lifting on a cut do low reps. A lot less psychological stress, and you can increase volume significantly.
At the same weight, 8 sets of 5 reps is far better than 3 sets of 8.
Only problem is there is more joint stress which means you are better off sticking to calisthenics. Also it takes a lot longer to do a full workout.

You’re making it sound too complicated that’s French frying before you pizza. Pic rel is my fit Bible. Just 4 sets of 12 each exercise and split day 3 in half (one day legs one day core), and I GUARANTEE you will look better, feel better, and get in fighting shape

>>76738821
i'm already eating 1000 calories and losing a bit over half a pound a day and i feel just fine, i'm not even that hungry
i expected to start feeling health effects and been forced to up my calories by now, but apparently my body does just fine like this
fuck it, i'll try having just coffee with a bit of milk on work days and see how i handle 50cal/day
wish me luck lads

>>76738888
Self check. All of those exercises can be done with just free weights and a pully system

>>76738888
it is complicated. everyone is different. i can't do 12 reps of bodyweight rows and if I tried it would make my workouts torturous.
i can easily and happily do 5 reps and i can just repeat that every 3 minutes until my arms melt.

>>76738869
No worries I was building myself up too so the effort wasnt wasted. Besides might help later when you're in a different state of mind. Our mood colors our perception.

>>76738896
No, it’s not complicated. Do lower weight, until it becomes easier and then you can do higher weight. Try 1 of the 4 sets of higher weight, until it becomes 2, then 3, then 4. Then repeat

>>76738881
as far as sleep goes, is 6 hours fine? or should i really try to shoot for 7? in terms of weight loss and muscle building

>>76738903
I know this sounds passé but sleep as much as your body asks for. Listen to your body, some days you’ll need more sleep some days less. I guarantee if you’ve done it right that day you won’t wake up at 2-3 am and play on your phone

>>76738902
It is complicated. Everyone is different, working under different circumstances.

>>76738914
No. That routine works, and there is nothing stopping ANYONE from achieving great results using it. Even if you’re using 5-10lbs weights like some damn poojeet, you will achieve results if you keep it up

>>76738918
Esp if you couple it with 20minutes cardio (even walking) after you finish your weights each day

>>76738918
If the routine works for you then use it. It might not work for everyone though. Thankfully, there's nothing wrong with doing low reps and high sets.

>>76738923
It works for everyone and I absolutely stand by that. I’ve seen it.
>t. Not trying to sell anyone anything, just a path to losing weight and getting stronger in the process. Also it will make you fit

>>76738896
You sound like one of the zoom zoom twinklets who come into my gym here in Chicago, so MAYBE 15-20 minutes doing squats and bench press, then leave… these are not serious people. Go to a gym in the South and you’ll see the difference. Most dudes stay at least an hour and actually know what they’re doing, and it absolutely shows. Women see it too…

Nah, do what you want, why you want. People are just virtue signaling when they say that. They want to make their motivations seem more virtuous than yours even if your both ultimately doing the same action. Others are tempering their expectations because maybe they dont think they will get women even if they are fit, so they pretend that isnt there goal so they can't fail. And those that dont care about women and are secure won't bring it up to put you down for it.

How hard is it to retain muscle while dieting down? I'm worried I'll lose what little muscle I have if I am in too large of a caloric deficit.

>>76739119
WTF IS YOUR PROBLEM

>>76738825
You should go even earlier than that, seriously.
I used to be a night person, but I managed to force myself to be a morning person because that was the only time I could exercise. My bedtime is 9pm and my alarm is set for 5:30, and it's actually really nice once you get used to it.
Just consider that you only have a certain amount of free time in your entire day, and no matter what time you exercise it'll use a big chunk of that time. But using your mornings more efficiently just breaks up your time into two chunks rather than one. Remember, your exercise isn't removing your free time, it is your free time. It's a hobby. In between work, commuting, parenting, exercise and housework, I get maybe 30-60 minutes of free time a day. During which time I'm usually so tired all I can do is browse 4chan and watch YouTube. This is a normal lifestyle for healthy adults.

>>76738903
You need to be in bed attempting to sleep for 8 hours a day. Setting a goal of 6 hours will unironically fuck up your entire life. I got 8:36 of actual sleeping time last night (bed at 9, naturally woke at 5:52, a few wake ups when my toddler started kicking me). And that was just about right, but I would have preferred a little bit more. Or at least more deep sleep.

>>76739154
>earlier than that
the gym i go to doesnt open until 6am either way

>>76739154
You’re coming off like a nazi anon. At the end of the day the fact that our volk is even wanting to improve themselves is 98% of the battle. Everybody is different. Guide, don’t demand, and don’t be so fucking rigid. Not everyone here is ready for the SS o/

>>76739166
I'm honestly not usually in the gym until 6am too. It just takes me a while to get out of bed, have breakfast, get changed and drive there. But if you're the kind of person who can roll straight out of bed into a workout, then waking up at 6 sounds good.

>>76739130
not hard, just exercise regularly. you'll notice you aren't gaining strength the way you used to anymore but as long as you eat high protein and stay consistent you should still gain muscle slowly

I did 1200-1300 for a while, it really ain't that bad.
250~ calories in the morning with protein shake and a 1000 calories meal for dinner (meat/carb/veggie heavy, low fat). Giving up cheese was the toughest part. Also chugging water before a meal gives me that full fat fuck feeling I would love when I was a fat fuck.

>>76739325
your muscles are not going to get tired in the slightest with those low reps. 5 squats and then rest, repeat 5 times? might as well just not do them at all.
one of the best things you can do if you want to increase your muscle strength is to train until your muscles just fuck off. pick a set of exercises you'd want to do and try each of them with one rep but that rep has to be "whenever you can't physically do it anymore". subtract 5 and do that many reps times 3 sets as your baseline. you want to exhaust your muscles, not slightly tickle them.

>>76739386
See >>76738888
use whatever weights you feel comfortable with at first, you’ll see results within the first 2 months. I’ve seen it again and again and again. You’ll have a visible “power stripe” by then and it’ll get you going

Week one of exercise done. Feeling better with myself already.

>>76739303
I think the website has a specific cutoff point that's something like going down to 3x5 and then 3x3 after you've deloaded 3 times in a row, and then stopping the program after you've done that.
But in general, beginner programs just stop once you become an intermediate, which is basically just when you can no longer progress linearly.

>>76739409
What gym do you go to
I am the only fat fuck at my gym

>>76739405
>>76739339
I'm going to hard disagree with these retards. SL5x5 is a good program, and if anything it has TOO MUCH volume (esp in squats) for proper recovery later in the program. These guys sound like the classic example of lazily following something which isn't the actual program, because they couldn't be bothered reading it. The most important part about SS/SL/GS is adding weight every single session. I guarantee that it will start feeling pretty hard pretty damn soon.

>t. Started out on SL, eventually moved to a modified version of GS with periodisation and accessories

>>76739425
No gym. I went with calisthenics instead of putting money into a gym I am not gonna attend to every day.
10 years of neglect put me back on beginner level so I do inclined pushups and inverted rows, things like that. Looking forward to the day I can do a single pull-up.

>>76739433
You speak as if you’re talking to someone who’s ever even been in a gym, fucking retard. It’s the same as somebody who says if you want a reef aquarium you need controllers and dosers and get your water levels professionally checked. Meanwhile the dude with a proper basic routine has healthy corals and fish. You’re over complicating things so that it seems intimidating. Go to one of the lifting threads. This is the fat thread. Just getting people into the gym is all the matters. Anything that seems complicated or intimidating is antithetical to that.

>>76739447
SS/SL/GS are good beginner programs specifically because they're simple and approachable.
You only need to learn the technique for a few exercises, and you start out with the empty barbell so you have time to learn the technique as the weight increases.

Can you show me an actual program (not some bullshit that you made up yourself) which is simpler than SL? Genuinely, I'm curious because I think I know quite a bit about lifting and I've never seen anything even remotely close to how simple these are, given that Rippetoe basically invented the entire concept that these programs all follow.

what am i supposed to when i start to get hungry during a fast

>>76739465
Right, so you're aware that your program is significantly more complicated than SL right?
Not that it's inherently a bad thing, I just want to make sure you're aware that doing 5x5 of 5 exercises is a lot simpler than what you're doing.

Stop fasting because it doesn't work

>>76739305
Keep it going, more people to love, and you'll be a fitter person when you meet them.

How much is a lot, I've seen as much as 1g per lb bodyweight but that seems excessive.

>>76739489
Doesn’t get them in the gym as often and doesn’t get them hooked. You’re dealing with beginners, you need them in the gym and creating routines, not just one and doneing it out bc they can and will drop out.

im not reading allthat

no offense but this is a weight loss thread, not a lifting thread
so please shut the fuck up

I've been going through a lot and I've been seriously thinking about suicide recently. I'm no longer fat, and I haven't been for years, but the constant emotional ping pong is taking a serious toll on me.

>scale has been stuck at 120 pounds for a week
>will not go to 119 no matter what
JUST DO IT ALREADY

>>76739509
You're doing yourself a disservice if you aren't lifting while losing weight. Your body is going to look significantly better and you're going to fill out loose skin, which is the bane of every former fat fuck's existence.

What's got you down, sometimes it helps to talk about it. If you don't feel comfortable posting here. There are hotlines, pretty sure you can just text/call 988, it's free and confidential.

>>76739504
It sounds like you're disagreeing with yourself.
Earlier you said that you don't want anything intimidating, and now you're saying that beginners need to go to the gym more than 3x/week? The entire point of this is making sustainable habits that you can maintain for your entire life. You don't jump from nothing to 6x/week without massive impacts to the rest of your lifestyle.

I'm an intermediate lifter with a few years of experience, and even I only lift 2x/week nowadays. I'm just in maintenance while I focus on running 4x/week, but this kind of routine is not something that you jump into overnight.

>>76739544
Same bro, one day I will.

>>76739514
>the constant emotional ping pong is taking a serious toll on me.
just stop caring. careful though, this coping mechanism is a bit too effective.

>>76739557
I think we’re taking past eachother. What im saying is having a solid workout plan (that never changes) and will get someone in VERY good shape is better than something that changes by weeks/ months/ diets/ WHATEVER. Consider it the framework that will get someone fit. If they want to do extra that can do extra, if they want to do less, they can do less, but if you follow that, you will see results. No additional research necessary

>>76739514
Same, bro. I have a decent amount of savings and about 100k in credit card spending available. I'm gonna finish out my weight loss and if im still depressed I am going to quit my job and spend the next 6 or so months traveling Europe, Asia, and LATAM and just having sex and seeing the world before I end it.

>>76739542
you are not fat on any scale but in your head, you need a psy

You're all just spinning in circles with this work out talk. The one absolute truth for improving your fitness is progressive overload. You start anywhere you can and with time just seek slowly and progressively increase the load. It can be anything: more volume, moving faster (more power), moving more weight, moving for longer (more time). As long as you progressively overload over time your progressing. It's reductionist, but ultimately that simple.

>>76739574
But every workout plan changes as you progress.
Your own program has you doing variable numbers of sets and reps. Without reading the rest of the program, I'm guessing it has you progressing with more reps each session until you can do 12, and then increasing the weight and dropping the reps back to 8 for next time.
