>>76739704cut vegetals, put in water and boil. You really don't need to do any fancy stuff with braising, stocks etc. It's really as easy as cutting up a bunch of vegetables and boiling them. Add rice or some kind of legume if you want some calories
How are the macros on this fake ice cream so good
>>76740114thats how i started cooking when i was like 15
>>76739746All in all a little more than a year and a half, but probably only a year of taking it serious as shit.Losing weight isn’t all that hard once you find a diet/ style of it that works for you, but that part itself can be hard as fuck.I think that’s why people that have lost weight successfully aren’t afraid of yo-yoing around a bit for bulks and cuts after the fact.I found that I couldn’t do anything sedentary like watching media or playing vidya without constantly thinking about how hungry I was, so I started going on long walks and listening to music during any free time I had and that helped tremendously. If I had any advice it would be>walks and music>actually count calories and be super anal retentive about it, GET A KITCHEN SCALE + manually enter stuff into MyFitnessPal (the free version)>if you’re going to do keto get the piss test strips for diabetics and DO NOT TRUST “keto/keto friendly” productsFor some people it can only take 10g of carbs to throw you out of ketosis and those labels are misleading as fuuuuck.Don’t even buy those products in the first place.Keto can be fucking miserable but it did wonders for me.I feel like it gets a lot of hate on because people don’t test to make sure they’re in ketosis and don’t monitor their diet enough to make sure they don’t throw themselves out of it, which is easy as fuck to do.Favorite foods that got me through that time were:Eggs w/ lil bit of butter + lil bit of cheeseOven roasted chicken breast with veg or atop like half a bag of spinach with a little bit of dressing, chicken seasoned with powdered ranch.Powdered ranch is your best friend when dieting, I couldn’t have done it without it lmao
>>76739744Thanks fren
>>76740161*I feel like it gets a lot of hatewhoops, I edited that from “hated on” and forgot to remove the “on” so it reads esl as fuck, my b.
>>76740161FYI you absolutely still have to be eating at a deficit to lose weight on keto, for whatever reason people ignore that and wonder why they aren’t losing weight when they’re eating 4k calories of butter, cheese, and meat every day.For the most part I realized I felt equally like shit if I was eating at a 200 calorie deficit or a 1200 calorie deficit so I just decided to quick-like-a-bandaid it and do a big deficit + keto so I wouldn’t have to feel like shit for as long.Don’t go too hard and dishearten yourselves though y’all.I just ate whatever I wanted within the keto diet until my piss test strips starting coming up positive, and then I implemented the deficit (while staying in the keto diet) once my body was using fat as its primary energy source.I feel like if I tried to do deficit + keto at the same time off rip that’d be even more miserable lol.Once you start seeing results it makes it a lot easier to stick with it.Godspeed, my rotund homies.
keto sucks sometimes. Feel like a fucking bird with all the nuts I've been eating. Need to add another 1000mg of sodium from something without going over 130g protein or adding any more carbs too, otherwise I'm gonna be dehydrated as fuck
>>76740115Does it taste any good? I've already accepted I am never going to taste Blue Bell ever again with its ridiculous 750 calories per pint.
>>76740199Would salt water be okay or is that stupid?I feel like mixing 10g of salt into a big glass of water and drinking 1/3 of it with every meal wouldn’t be that horrible.I’ve never been short on sodium before though so I have no idea what the fuck I’m talking about. I guess you could also squeeze a few lemons in there if you wanted to for some bootleg gatorade.
>>76740203>I've already accepted I am never going to taste Blue Bell ever again with its ridiculous 750 calories per pint....do you normally eat a pint of ice cream per serving? I always just take a couple spoonfuls of ice cream from the carton and move on with my day
>>76740115See, shit like this says “keto friendly on it” and even one serving of it could throw you out of ketosis.
>>76740208yea I've been trying to avoid that if possible because I only have that nu-salt salt substitute and some large Himalayan sea salt, which would be a bitch to dissolve. I'll just make sure to liberally salt my eggs and chicken/avocado
>>76740210All in one sitting. Ice cream tastes worse after its been opened. Same reason I never bought the gallon version even when I was eating 4000 calories a day.
>>76740071just suck up your gut, bro.semiflex your lower abs around the navel or lower.
>>76740219We too. If I open a pint I eat it all. I got some ice cream condensor though. Just put in a 2 cups of whole milk and 3scoops of protein powder. A full batch is like 800 calories and I eat half in a sitting and get 55g of protein in.Obviously it's not the same and there's not enough sugar or fat to get the exact right consistency. It is more like frozen chocolate milk. But it is better than getting fatter.
>ordered 20 wings + fries on impulse>only got through 7 wings and half my fries before feeling full (OMAD)Fuck... my fatass days are just a memory at this point... I used to devour this + a 32oz Pepsi no sweat
>>76740234Huh. That's not a bad idea. Thankfully I get most of my sweet kick from this godly stuff right here.
>>76740236that's the craziest thing about getting deep into a diet, trying to eat the shit you did before at the same volume and not even being able to get through 30% of it. Really makes you realize just how shitty your previous eating habits were.I remember years ago eating a dominos pepperoni pan pizza every single day for months, had stacks of pizza boxes piled up in my room and everything. Now I can only eat a few slices before being completely full
>>76740245Yeah I just usually just mix a protein drink if I want a sweet ice cream machine takes an hour and I'm usually lazy plus you have to clean it after. Those look nice. 42 grams of protein is sick for only 230 cals. I get around the same 40g protein but its like 300-320 cals a shake. I should probably stop making mine with whole milk but when you mix the powders with water they taste like absolute garbage.
>>76740223only works for mid torso, lower torso is a no go
>>76740259have you tried taking a shit?
>>76740260yes, its only firm mid torso, any lower and its almost loose when you touch it
>>76740261Have you tried lypo
>>76740263sure, are you gonna pay for it?
>>76740259wait what?you can't suck in your lower abs?like when you're going for a vacuum?
>>76740270If you put on a wig and let me play with your bussy I will consider it
>>76740271im confused why anons keep bringing up abs when i never mentioned it in my initial post
>>76740245how much does it cost?
>>76740284bout 5$
>>76740281a smallish beer belly can be made invisible by sucking in your gut. sucking your gut includes flexing your abs.one can semi-flex his lower abs permanently and thus, hide his beer belly forever. i've been doing this for years so i should know.
>>76740284Like 6 bucks individually and about 4.50 if bought in bulk. They taste so much fucking better than powder, its unreal.
>>76740295maybe i incorrectly used the term when i said beer gut, cause it doesn’t go away when i suck it in. it protrudes more horizontally on the lower torso than vertical/circular like a typical beer gut.
>>76740306>it protrudes more horizontally on the lower torso than vertical/circular like a typical beer gut.so love handles?
>>76740203Personally I'm a big fan of it but I haaaate sugar so that's probably why I like it so much, I think I like it more than normal ice creamIf you go to a Target or Walmart or something I'm sure you'll find some
>>76740312>>76740306I think he means like a fupa or front butt.
>>76740312no, i dont have love handles, its just in the front not the sides
>>76740317so not visceral fat?>>76740321visceral fat is fat around the organs under the muscles.subcutaneous fat is fat under the skin. the skin you pinch to do the 3 or 7 skin folds. which type of fat do you have?
>>76740317its not that, its doesnt extend that far down my waist>>76740330visceral maybe on the mid part of my torso but the lower part is definitely not firm enough to be visceral
>>76740216Not trying to be a dick, but can’t you just buy some sea salt at the grocery store or something b0ss?The only other easy thing I could think of would be salted nuts of some sort (nohomo) but those are also kinda pricey + add a shit ton of fats/calories.
>>76740071First to come, last to go m8.When I got down to ghoulishly skinny I still couldn’t entirely shake my stupid love handles.I realized my only hope was to go “full dorito mode” and build my chest/delts/lats to broaden my frame and overcompensate if I wanted to be truly happy with how I looked without living in constant misery trying to maintain sub 8% body fat.It’s all good though, it’s nice to have goals.>>76740223>>76740259Anon do some research and see if you maybe have an anterior pelvic tilt, I did after sucking in my gut for more than two decades.Sucking it in makes it look a LOT better if you’re wearing a shirt, but it’ll fuck up your posture and you kinda lean towards arching your spine/hips in a weird way that’ll crowd the fat in the front instead of creating a nice flat stomach.It’s hard to shake when you’ve been doing it for so long, but once I became mindful of that it helped a lot.We’re not used to having normal guts, haha.
>>76740421>see if you maybe have an anterior pelvic tilti'm not sure what you're talking about.i am the one sucking his gut and i don't have an anterior pelvic tilt.i can't even imagine how sucking in your gut would produce an anterior pelcic tilt.perhaps you meant posterior pelvic tilt? but then what is the bad thing about having a posterior pelvic tilt?
I want to be skinny without any weightlifting exercises. Is it possible? My personal record was 77kg.
>>76740439You can be skinny without any exercise at all. Just don't eat. Will you look good though? Donno depends on your skeletal frame.
>>76740439From personal experience, no. Once you get fat even once your body never goes back to that natural skinny look. Best you can hope for is skinny fat with a bit of a paunch. With exercise you can get a leaner look going which will always work out best.
>>76740439You don't need to lift weights just do cardio and body weight exercises like push ups
i wish i didnt have the exercise, being lazy and just dieting is so much easier than forcing myself to be surrounded by hot people so my anxiety shoots to max
>>76740236>>76740247same shit happened to me the other day, i bought a burrito that i thought i could eat like i used to, i got like 1/4th into it and i was insanely full. i didn't know my stomach would shrink so much.
>>76740493>surrounded by hot people
>>76740421Talk about an epiphany moment. I sucked in my gut all through school, and now have anterior oelvic tilt too. Never put two and two together until now. Hopefully not too late and i can unfuck things and improve posture
>>76740515i started sucking in my gut slighty with my back straight. for comfort when i walk, something about tensing it makes it easier to walk. is that normal or just good posture?

>>76740439No, once you hit skinnyfat you'll die if you try to lose the fat because your body will eat it's own muscle and organs before it eats it's fat.
>>76740663I'm honestly feeling more insecure about my physique lately. I think I need to increase my deficit but I'm very anal about hitting my micros like fiber, vitamin c, a, etc. and under a larger deficit it might be harder to do so.
>>76740673micronutrients have no calories bro
>>76740676just pop a multi?
I forgot just how much fasting sucks
>>76740434Idk pelvic tilt of some kind, not really from sucking in your gut exactly but from the posture you adapt to from doing that for years and years so that your lil round of stomach cub doesn’t press up against your shirt and make a visible gut- or if you’re beyond that just preventing it from protruding too badly.I’m breddy sure it’s anterior because of the way I’d lean my hips back a little and then I suck muh gut into my body, sticking my chest out instead of it.I’ve been standing sideways in front of a mirror correcting mine, but it’s a conscious effort still, dang it.In spite of feeling unnatural to stand like that, it looks and feels much better- I would’ve never stood with that posture at any time during my heavier, even if I was alone.>>76740515Happy to help m80I’ve got an appointment to see a physical therapist (I’ve broken my shoulder more than once and standing barbell rows are highlighting asymmetry in my lifts) and I’m gonna ask them about what I can do to unfuck that.There are definitely some stretches for it, I’ll just have to seriously make myself do them.But yee it’s mad tight when you realize “holy shit, this is how every dude that’s comfortable in his body stands?” fucking crazy relaxed.I’m happy to be here finally.
>>76740663>>76740673Can y’all recommend where I could find a good calculator for micros and macros for my weight and height?It’d be mad appreciated.
>>76740789I just use the calculations cronometer gives me
>>76740793what’s a chronometer homes
>>76740439Depends what base you’ve got. I’m 65kg and just under 5’10” and never lifted weights but I’ve worked a job that requires me to be on my feet all day but it’s no where near as labour intensive as brick laying and no where near as sedentary as office work.

>>76740991I was just sussing out the waters cuh, no need for the hostility or racism.>Breakfast2 scoops of lean whey protein>LunchTwo 20g Protein yoghurt pouches + lots of black coffee to stave off the hunger>DinnerVaries, but I try to have protein with my meals and make it decently biggish as I lift in the mornings.With my B+L it rounds out to 560 calories at 108g of protein. Sometimes when I feel drained in the morning I have a piece of toast with some butter but I doubt that goes more than a 100 calories.I just feel drained man. My shits are weird, I have no energy unless I have a bit of sugar and I hurt myself recently on a lift. Wat do.Shedding weight like water fyi.
Anons, what gives?A few years ago, I did dance, and was ~129lbs and basically a bundle of bones, slim tummy, etc.Fast forward now, I'm sort of skinnyfat and have been whittling down to 136lbs, yet I still see significantly more fat in my arms/legs and a protruding tummy? Can 7 lbs of fat be that big of a deal?I do yoga now as well which should hopefully rule out anterior pelvic tilt eventuallyI've also been doing pushups and dead bugs so I've put on a good bit of muscle I didn't have before either
>>76741025yeah thats a fucking insane diet, youre doing psmfits great for losing weight while mitigating muscle loss but you WILL feel like shit all the time. Most people only do it for 1-2 weeks at a time before resting. U less you're taking glps that shit isn't sustainable
>>76741031I'm a starting chubbyfat lifter who's as weak as piss and have been doing this for a month now. Pretty sure I'm shredding like a kilo a week.What should I aim towards instead?
>>76740978your jaw should be pushed down and forwards when you find the right resting spot for your tongue. it might feel uncomfortable at first but then it becomes natural once the muscles adjust.

>>76740833No you aren't. This image is from four years ago. Imagine lying in the fat loss general.
>>76741056Do you have measurements on your cadence and wattage? If you do, you can get it pretty close to what it actually is.
Are the volume of stomach growls genetic? I swear I've never heard anyone else's stomach growl anywhere near as loudly as mine, makes for pretty embarrassing moments when fasting.

You can ramp up the deficit later.>but I'll eat snacks lying aroundNobody can help you with this, and if you don't have the ability to not stuff your face because food exists nearby then no diet is ever going to save you.If you're genuinely fat then losing weight is a marathon, not a sprint, and you have to pace yourself with that in mind.
>>76739753poles are terrible at making soups, sorrylaughable
The simplest advice is the bestNot buying the snacks is the best way to prevent eating it, just like not buying alcohol is how you stop drinking>b-but i'll moderateNo you won'tI know you won't, because I can't, and you can't, and that's why we're both here
>>76740942wtf mewing grows your neck by 4 inches?Wtf bro I didn't know brah!
>>76741302>just eat a little less every day so you can feel like a fat fuck 24/7 and have to plan out or think about every single meal and still be hungry and think about food and lose maybe 1 pound a month until the "real" weight loss starts happening 6 months from now if you don't fail like the other 90% of people that try doing this :^)yeah I think im going to keep starving myself instead
>>76741308snacks are ok for filling in gaps when you've planned out your meals for the day and you're <100cal short of your limitthen you can figure out how many chips or whatever will get you to that limit and just eat it whenever you're feeling particularly peckish during the day
>>7674061170% of the people in my country are overweight or obese, so I'm in good company
>>76741201>But I cannot deal with not being able to sleepI'm experiencing the opposite, before dieting/fasting I'd only get 4-5 hours of sleep a night, now I'm getting 8-9 hours consistently
Anyone have experience with just spamming those microwave diet meals, like hellofresh, my musclechef etc.They're easy and have the calories listed on them so I'm thinking if I just eat 2 or 3 of those a day then I'm sweet
>>76741336>so you can feel like a fat fuck 24/7You are a fat fuck that's why we're all here, face the facts>have to plan out or think about every single mealQuickly check the label of the foods you're putting into your meals and mentally calculate it (round up to the nearest 100)>lose maybe 1 pound a month until the "real" weight loss starts happening 6 months from nowYou should lose about 5 pounds a month if you're starting obese, and that's a very healthy and sustainable amount. You already found out what happens when you try go from being a fat fuck to doing regular fasts on rotation, you're going to be thinking about stuffing yourself nonstop and eventually succumb to temptation.

>>76741677>TDEE is 2400guess I'll just stay content with the progress I'm currently making
>>76741684>>76741657You are lying, post body and scale.
>>76741685going down to 1400 a day is pretty aggressive, but absolutely doable. Nothing wrong with sticking to 1900 + exercise to get a consistent 1lb down a week, as long as you can sustain it
>>76740784i still can't imagine it. sucking in the stomach gets the chest and front of pelvis closer to each other since the abs go from the chest to the pelvis.do you stick your chest out and your pelvis back like Popeye?
>>76741688first weeks were obviously faster... that one valley was me fasting for 5 days just to see how it feels

>>76741144You literally just did but ok
I noticed on the TDEE calculator that a higher bf% results in a lower calorie budget. Does having muscle mass just passively burn calories?
>>76741270studies vary.it goes from 1g per kg of LEAN mass to 1.2g per lb of overall body weight. people err on the higher estimate because it's not as risky.
>>76741720yes. IIRC muscle tissue burns more than twice as much calories at rest than fat tissue.
>>76741720>Does having muscle mass just passively burn calories?yes. muscles are an expensive tissue to have so human bodies get rid of it when the body doesn't need it anymore. like when you stop exercising.but on the other hand, massive non-muscle bodies also have higher TDEE so you can see them losing weight easily while skinnyfats struggle to lose a much smaller amount.
>>76741702>that one valley was me fasting for 5 days just to see how it feelsso how did it feel?

Fasting is dumb (I say this as an ex-faster)Just eat tons of protein and less fat and carbsProtein cannot be stored as fat
Fatty contestBeefyWeiner190.5 lbs
>>76741918>Protein cannot be stored as fatwut
>>76741918Protein must be converted into glucose. Part of the glucogenic amino acids are converted into glucose then if the body has a calorie surplus, this newly created glucose can be converted into fatty acids and then stored as fat in adipose tissue.
>>76741918the problem with that is your body will turn protein into glucose and fill your glycogen stores, meaning you won't be losing any weight for hours after a meal. In fact eating enough protein will kick you out of ketosis. Ignore >>76741936 this retard, without extraneous carbs your body will almost never spike insulin high enough to actually store protein as fat (unless you are eating an absolute shitload of protein)
>>76741918>Fasting is dumbnah
>>76741957>retardoh the irony. It's just science kiddo, not hard to find with the internet. You might wanna look it up, from glucose to fat is called lipogenesis.
Bros...>I weigh myself at my house 208lbs>I weigh myself at my brothers 215lbsWhat's this gay shit

>>76741981btfonext time look up basic science before calling anyone a retard, retard.https://www.google.com/search?q=lipogenesis+glucose+to+fat
>>76741996>posts shit that everyone already knows>google AI summary>LE SCIENCE!!!https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1083868/"Fat build-up is determined by the balance between lipogenesis and lipolysis/fatty acid oxidation. In the past few years, our understanding of the nutritional, hormonal and particularly transcriptional regulation of lipogenesis has expanded greatly. Lipogenesis is stimulated by a high carbohydrate diet, whereas it is inhibited by polyunsaturated fatty acids and by fasting. These effects are partly mediated by hormones, which inhibit (growth hormone, leptin) or stimulate (insulin) lipogenesis. "

>>76742122the hardest step is buying a food scale. the second hardest step is overcoming hunger. lowering carbs to a minimum made my hunger extremely manageable. some people can handle eating carbs and not get extremely hungry. idk how they can do it. i've been running 1200-1500 calories for 2 weeks now. something i've never ever managed to do in my life. some days i even eat only 1000 calories.i used to do OMAD low carbs or even fast but was too lazy to count calories and i would stagnate and then eventually fail.

>>76741550Google ai bot saysFiber, the indigestible parts of plants, passes through the digestive system relatively unchanged. It's a carbohydrate that helps maintain a healthy digestive system. There are two types of fiber, soluble and insoluble, which have different effects on digestion:>Soluble fiber Found in fruits, oats, nuts, beans, and peas, it slows digestion by turning into a gel that attracts water. This may lower cholesterol and promote healthy gut microflora. >Insoluble fiber Found in wheat bran and non-starchy vegetables, it speeds up food passage and adds bulk to stool, reducing constipation.

>>76742013Because you have to change your lifestyle and diet for the rest of your life. It's better if you find a way to enjoy it.If you don't enjoy fasting and you're not planning to fast even after you reach your goal weight then it's a crash diet.
>>76742313yeah seems to me like thats pretty easyhow about not ordering a large pizza or a dozen donuts every other day?
>>76742287Can't go wrong with the classic Barbell Bench Press or Machine Bench Press. You see these people with like 20 fucking isolation exercises and they're newbies. Leave those programs for when you have a good muscular base. Hell, I think a beginner would be completely fine with Bench Press, Squat, Deadlift, and OHP starting out. Then adding Lat pull-down, dumbell/cable rows, and bicep curls/preacher curls eventually.

>>76742507Full body workout with dumbbells only. I do more reps though, depending on the exercise between 10 and 15. usually 4 sets of everything. for bench press for example I do 5 sets of 12 reps with 27kg dumbbells and it's getting difficult to actually get them onto my thighs so I can lean back so I'm hesitant about adding more weight at the moment. should I instead do for example 7 sets of 8 or something?>>76742525ideally I want to get stronger but stay lean-ish. been lifting for 27 months now but the first year I was mostly just fucking around

>>76742545What are your lifts?
>>76742548how do you mean? like how heavy per exercise?
>>76742545you can try focusing on one muscle, like add 2 bicep exercises during arm day, once the biceps get stronger, un-add them, and add 2 pec exercises instead.

>>76742453>maybe I'm just a fat fuck and need to keep starving myself and feeling like shit until I no longer feel fatthat anon meant that the weight will return unless you learn to eat less daily.fat cells don't disappear after the fat is gone from them.they're always ready to accumulate all the extra calories you consume so you have to learn to eat less forever.
>>76742545If you want to get stronger you need to do 5 reps or less per set with heavier weight. Use machines if can't handle free weights. Or do calisthenics.
>>76742559>I have been lifting>did you read the post?the post doesn't say this at all. you have been doing some abs exercises and push ups.that's not lifting. anyway, why are you bringing this up? what does it have to do with my post?
