Do Melatonin gummies break a fast? It's only 10 calories..
Chugging water during meals has been a fucking god send. Feel bad for waterlets.

>>76753415it's just glycogen and water, carbs will do that for you.
another successful daybit less protein than I wouldve liked but still far more than what I used to take, around 1900 calories, 11500 steps, good workout at the gymbought myself a little exercise bike to use at home, hoping to sit there and pedal like a good goy and watch some youtube slop or something every day
carnivoreanon has inspired meI'm going to try some raw stew meat beef chunks next week. I've been wanting to try raw meat for a while. Maybe with guac and lime though...
>>76753489I'd get some beef tartare at a restaurant before taking the plunge and making it yourself. It'll give you a baseline and better tell if you're doing it wrong when you try it on your own
>>76753444this, its always just glycogen and water.
>>76753444i have been eating 300 calories of candies daily. they were within my 1500 range and i couldn't resist them so i though my glycogen stores are already full.
>>76753489>raw stew meat beef chunkshow do you make it?add water and seasoning to the meat and eat it?
>>76753517https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NggWtHwWydsthis is what I'm going to tryyou don't need to season it or add water, raw meat already has enough water
>>76753524i was making a joke because you called it a stew but raw so you can't heat it.what was the raw dudes reasoning behind going raw? do they believe it's more nutritious?
Had duck today.Pretty good. Way more flavor than chicken.More calories, obviously, but not that big of a difference.
>>76753542I'm raw anon. It's better for you. Cooked meat is a psyop. So are fruits and vegetables. They're food for peasants
>be lifting>boomer comes up to me when I finish my set>have to pause music to hear him>"take it easy there bud youre making the rest of us look bad">"haha sorry im trying to get back into shape myself">"looks like you are almost lifting a full stack there heh. I used to lift a full stack>nice... yeah its pretty heavy>yep I could max that machine out back when I was 49 before I had my heart attack>oh wow thats crazy>silence>he walks off
>>76753542There's not much research behind it, but from what I understand cooking meat destroys a considerable portion of the nutrients available in it. Not all, not even the majority, but a significant amount. In exchange it also destroys pathogens and makes the protein more digestible. If you're eating a carnivore diet the amount of protein doesn't matter as much because you'll be getting so much protein your body won't be able to use it all for key functions (muscle building, etc.). Most meat is fine to eat raw (I wouldn't try pork) as long as you get it relatively fresh from a good market.So with raw meat:>more nutrients>less proteinand with cooked meat:>less nutrients>more protein
Wasn’t the discovery of fire and subsequent ability to cook food, making it more digestible a huge deal for the evolution of hominids?
>>767533524 lbs down from doing a week of OMAD, feels good. I've found going to bed early to doom scroll helps a lot so I'm not around the kitchen when I'm super hungry. Also ymmv but watching mukbangs scratches the itch for me for unhealthy foods.
>lose 8.5 kg in 6 weeks by eating once per day>become sick and start eating trash again because i need to "recover"october is ending soon and im scared , i whas 103,9 on the first of oktober
>>76753552>Cooked meat is a psyopthere are historical examples of wealthy people eating cooked meat. it's not new.fruits were a delicacy.as for vegetables, idk so i concede about them being peasant food.>>76753557>cooking meat destroys a considerable portion of the nutrients available in itas in vitamins and shit?
>>76753563>as in vitamins and shit?yeah
>>76753559yes and no. I personally do not really subscribe to the theory that fire=ability to eat more calories=bigger brain. But it was certainly not an insignificant development as we became immune to a great majority of parasites
>>76753563If you want to cite history go back to the days of the Woolly Mammoth. Cooked food is okay but not optimal. Idgaf what rich people eat. Rich people are fat AF too

Okay bros I have this scale that says its for packages. But it's rated up to 440lbs can I use it for my own weight?
>>76753553>tfw been going to the same gym for 6 months and nobody has ever said a single word to me Bros...
>>76753612I still go and get 2 McDoubles and 1 McChicken for my OMAD
>>76753637i looked at the internet, you have to evenly distribute your weight on those if you want an accurate measure. idk if you can figure that out.I always wondered about 2 bathroom scales, one foot on each.
>>76753657It's this one am I being retarded in using it?
>>76753664you can try lining some cardboard on it and see if that spreads out the force, it could work
left work and didn't feel like cooking so i bought some chick-fil-astayed below my 1600 calorie limit though since their stuff has such little calories for some reason, I guess because it's not as hyper processed as mcdonalds stuffis this fine to do occasionally as long as it's not everyday? primarily as long as i'm below my calorie limit for the day
>>76753352Fucking gained 10lbs in a month not even sure why? I guess Mcdonalds and ice cream and lack of exercise, but it is alarming how fast that weight gain was.. anyways I am already 3lbs down....20 more to go
>>76753644I actively don't want to make gym acquaintances because then I would feel awkward every other time not knowing if I should say hi to them or ignore them. But if it was a cute girl I would put up with that I guess.

>>76753808pretty sure muscles still grow after pooberty bro
>>76753804that shit is stupid expensive. I just chew regular gum all day. It seems to have helped a little bit. I do get the teeth whitening gum so im making gains on 2 levels
>>76753833you can chew the same piece for months bro you just spit it out and keep it in a cool dry place til the next day
>>76753804if you're going to be a retard at least commit to it. start bonesmashing or you're a pussy
>>76753823You'll just give yourself tmj, if you want to train face muscles look up face yoga/myofunctional face exercises.
I ran out of bread so no dinner sandwich. instead i ate pumpkin frys and fish filletmaybe the reduction in carb will make the weight come off faster
w/e already chewing. gonna do it for a few weeks and see, i'll let you guys know
commit to bonesmashing anything else is a cope
>>76753376>>76753376Anon, do you know why our digestive system is so long? It's so that we can continue to absorb calories from what we eat for around 2-3 days after consuming it. 10 calories means fuck all when your small and large intestines are still absorbing hundreds of calories a day.
I'm steady losing weight Started out on the 6th of this month at 308 and I'm down to 297. Was eating 1500 cals a day w/ 181 g protein and I've dropped it to 1200 calories with 153g protein. I've done some 6-8 mile walks and bike riding but haven't gone back to the gym yet. Will probably do that soon once I get this backlog of work done this week. Want to try to lose 100 lbs by April.
does casein keep you full longer than whey powder?
Bought a bunch of junk, now feeling bad, still havent consoooomed it doe, Im thinking of just throwing it away, what do you guys think?
>>76753926give it to homeless man
>>76753926One time I bought a container of brownies and literally just opened the container and dumped it out the window on the way home. Yeah it was wasteful but it was a good decision. God I love brownies though
>>76753926give it away or toss it.i always make sure i never have anything that might make me binge eat in my house.
>>76753696>I guess Mcdonalds and ice cream and lack of exerciseAnon, stop eating that shit. Eat satiating food and you wont even need to exercise if you don't want. You can't out exercise a bad diet. Eat 1200-1500 cal high protein and you'll lose without even thinking about it, and you'll feel full at the same time.
>on keto>have a bunch of carb-heavy trail mix left over from before my diet>break and shove a handful in my mouth>regain my composure and spit it out into the trashwhew, almost gave into temptation

guys I smoke 5 cigs a day is this going to ruin my skins ability to tighten during weight loss? Already lost 80lb out of a goal 125 and the signs that I'm going to have some loose skin when I'm done are there. I don't want to give up my precious nicotine.
>>76754007>no pickles
It's a fasting day
>>76754035just started mine at 4pm, 86 hours.
>>76754016>I don't want to give up my precious nicotine.take zyn or any of the other million nicotine replacements that aren't smoking. That's one of the absolute worst things you can possibly do for your health besides being fat, please find a way to ween yourself off cigs or quit

I'm going to take a 2 week diet break.
>>76754126sounds gay>>76754090your body is thankful you are no longer in a state of starvation
>>76754126Not a bad idea. I might take one too and recoup before I get these last 10 lbs off.
>>76754133>sounds gayIt's extremely gay because I still have to count every calorie and do 10k steps. Literally the only difference is that I'm eating more.But there is something that is far more gay: poorly executing a consistent diet because of fatigue. I've lost 100 pounds already. I'm at least 30 pounds overweight, more likely 40 or even 50. To lose those it'll take me another 10 months to a year. Taking a 2 week break isn't a problem.
fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck i really want to get a bacon and pepperoni large pizza from my favorite place, but i know that i won't be able to leave it be in the fridge and will just end up eating it all tonight. Why must God allow me to be tempted by these hellish urges???
>>76754165You have the luxury of not paying for it and instead putting it in your Roth IRA.
>>76754165I'm quite unwell at the moment, and all I do all day is crave sloppa.
>>76754165G-d gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers
>>76754172For sure. I just need to last til midnight. Then i won't be able to order a pie anymore and it'll all be fine. >>76754174I can't eat anything when i'm ill. It's usually when i lose the most weight too, lol. >>76754180I wonder if His infinite mercy is granted to those that falter knowingly... Despite dieting for months now, i still haven't broken my urge to eat pizza every night. I mean, i had a really cheap pizza near me when i first moved out and entered uni, so i basically just ate pizza everyday as my only meal (basically OMAD with a whole pizza), every night. I'm almost lean now, yet it's somehow harder to resist now than before...
>>76754185I have absolutely no energy to cook anything decent, so I'm very tempted by Doordash.Mum's cooking egg and bacon pies, though, so I'm probably gonna devour them.
>>76753926what kind of junk? you can parse it out or save it as an after diet reward
I look down on fags who fast
>>76754190I had to purge ubereats and doordash from my computer/phone otherwise I'd be tempted to use it
>>76753926This is why I don't buy large pizza anymore. Personal pans only for me. Jets Pizza is the best.
Just go to bed befote you eat something on accident retards.
>>76754234too late : <
>>76753906it digests slower, so probably
>>76754055a bit better yeah, still not great for your lungs but you can slowly taper off by using weaker nicotine
This cut is never going to endFUCK
>>76753926you can eat them if you count caloriss
Can/should I still lift/do body weight exercises on days when I am fasted?Been thinking of just skipping a day of eating, but I am not sure about stressing my muscles with 0 protein on the day desu.
>>76754365you can eat a couple eggs for dinner its basically the same as fasting
>>76754400>you can eat a couple eggs for dinner its basically the same as fastingi wouldn't recommend eating on a fast if you want fast weight loss.
>>76754400at that point i'd just be doing omad and would eat more protein than only eggs
>moms house is ALWAYS stocked with candy and ice cream>mom calls me and asks if she should get on zepbound>I tell her to try not buying sweets first and see if that fixes her blood sugar>she tells me thats literally impossible
>>76754365Its not going to hurt you but you will be weaker especially if you do any volume to speak of. I personally always load up on sugar pre workout and then protein post workout and then eat high protein the following day and then you can go back to fasting aftterwards. Just what seems to work for me.
>>76754428fat mom
i have too little distractions to pull off omad
>>76754495get a hobby
>>76754185i just want to say that i survived tonight's ordeal, my friends. Didn't order the pizza, didn't eat anything in fact, very nice. WAGMI.
>>76754508based, keep up the good work
>>76754495my easiest times fasting were when i was a complete neet rotting in bed all day every day. Now that i'm busymaxxing i get way more food noise, i can't fast for more than 24hrs anymore. OMAD is still fine, though. Give it a try, ease yourself into it!
trendweight says the scale is going downmy soul says the scale goes nowhere
>>76753561Watching mukbangs grosses me out. I love eating food but watching someone else shovel food into their mouth just doesn't appeal to me at all.>>76753940This is what I do and it works very well. If I have junk food sitting around in the house I will eat it, so I just don't have anything like that sitting around (or only buy something small that works calories wise on the day I intend to eat it).So usually with food the only stuff I have around are things which I have to cook/prepare a fair bit to enjoy or pretty plain non-calorie dense food like raw fruit and veges. That way laziness takes over and you just don't bother overeating as you'd have to spend ~30 minutes making something first to really do it.
>go on diet>gain 7kg Trust the process>lose 5kg, noticeably leaner>midsection is soft squishyThis happens every time. I bloat up with water and get all squishy, then start losing weight. Down to 100kg, goal is 80kg

>>76754495Shit is nigh impossible for me on weekendsGlad im not in college anymore
>>76753415I was 3lbs up 3 on monday after saturdays weigh in, now back down to a new low a few days later. I've stopped trying to figure out how bodies work and just stick to the plan of weighing once a week. Although I lie, I do a cheeky unofficial weigh in on a thursday just to gauge how Im going and if I need to cut back a little before offical weigh in on the weekend. It just gives me a little bit extra motivation to maybe have a slighly smaller portion, or not have a takeaway night on the friday, or whatever.
>>76754620>I've stopped trying to figure out how bodies work and just stick to the plan of weighing once a week.You can also weigh yourself every day and then find the average each week
>>76753352been about four months since I started. Lost 20 kilos and finally not obese anymore, just at the very top of overweight, still feels weird looking at myself because I don't feel like I have lost a lot. Can the random measurements on smart scales be trusted? if it's true I'm pretty sure I lost like 3kg of muscle from my legs in the same time but it's fine..
>>76753415I don't track calories and weigh myself everyday and sometimes it's just like that. Like a few days ago I was going up in weight but then I dropped 1.8 kg in like 2 days so it is a bit crazy, one measurement means nothing.
>>76754620Weighing once a week could be a bigger mind fuck because you might be trending down on day 7 and then when you weigh yourself you get a spike
>>76754525>Watching mukbangs grosses me out.This, they're actually sickening. I'll randomly have modern mukbang style ads or shorts pop up every so often and it's fucking revolting every time being assaulted with chewing noises and even orgasm faces if i'm unlucky enough to be looking at the screen. I'm convinced the people who enjoy this shit are fetishists. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ao3VNfb_Zl4
My diet has changed heaps over the past few months. Started eating all the traditional meme diet foods, but over the course of tracking macros and researching foods I think I am eating more normally again, but a feeling a lot healthier, especially when it comes to digestion. I am eating more oats, fruits and grains like I ate when growing up when I actually wasnt a fat fuck. I have more energy and shitting normally again. Still eat meat every day and have added a probiotic each morning which I really believe helps when your fucking around with different foods. Just helps speed up the process of you body getting used to a new diet and less time being backed up. One of the more unconvential things I have added is a glass of coke (250ml) with dinner, Im not sure yet, but feels like it helps with digestion, just something I am trying. Have given up diet soda, I'd drink a litre of that shit and just want more but 1 glass of real coke actually satisfies me perfectly.
>>76753664Just put a couple of marks on it and be sure to stand in the same spot each time just to be consistant.
>>76753593kek, thanks for that link
No choice but to fast all thursday-sunday, I really hope i can do it.
I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna order sloppa on Doordash.
>>76754731same here man, im trying to lose 6 more pounds before Halloween.
>>76754744bad fatty
>>76754744you'll regret it as soon as you order it retard
>>76754751are you also starting the fast thursday or have you already been fasting?
>>76754744buying 3 slabs of beers, 3 litres of vodka with a shitload of cola to mix, 3 5L box wines, several party size packets of doritos, with salsa, various flavors of grainwaves, several kilos of party pies and sausage rolls and ordering a few buckets of kfc for the /fat/ meetup
>>76754765i started mine at like 4pm today, 86 hour fast.
>>76754678None of this is correct
>>76754678Stop being a retard and coming up with random theories about food that aren't true. Eat 1200-1500 calories a day if you're fat and make as much of that protein as possible. There's no justification for drinking coke if you're trying to lose weight.
>>76754858But if the coke fits in your 1200-1500 daily allowance then there is justification
>>76754870No there's not. If your goal is weight loss, eat as much protein as possible. If you're drinking 100 calories of coke, you're wasting room for more protein.
>>76754609I was about 200 pounds in this picture. I'm currently 183.8. it's not a troll post. I cut the weight by eating only beef, eggs, seafood, butter, and cheese. I usually do one meal a day and that is one raw ribeye steak approximately 16 ounces with 4-5 eggs, whites cooked yolks raw, and 1 tablespoon of butter. I do not eat vegetables due to anti-nutrients. I do not eat fruit because it is fructose. I do not consume sugar, not even milk which has lactose which is sugar. Any sugar intake spikes insulin and damages your kidneys. I am essentially zero carb. I miss junk food but I love my body. I'm trying to get to 175 so I have about 9 pounds to go until I'm about 10-12% body fat. Women love a lean, ripped physique but I'm really doing it for myself and to prove I can get my 6 pack back after a decade
>>76754894Nope. You can still fit a Coke in those amounts and get adequate protein

>>76754922Wrong. If you have 1200-1500 calories and 100 calories of it is a glass of coke, that's 20g+ of protein you're skipping out on in favor of slop. You deserve to stay fat.

>>76755001Muscle weighs more than fat. You're losing fat while gaining muscle.This happens.Now, if youre the type that subconsciously eats then theres another issue.
>>76755001you're eating more calories than you think. there are many sources of 'hidden calories' and when you hit a stall like that you need to take a hard look at them. you got vegetables at a restaurant and you put '2 servings veg' into your stupid smartphone and it tells you 80 calories but the restaurant slathered them in butter too, did you account for that? what about sriracha? it says it's just a few calories on the bottle but the serving size is 1 tablespoon, did you use more than that? did you drink any liquid calories that you aren't counting? coffee with cream and sugar? easy to forget. it all adds up. it's also very easy to estimate wrong. you may be eyeballing stuff when you really need to use a food scale for good accuracy. there are loads of other places you could be adding calories without realizing it. the most common in these threads is not measuring how much oil you use when you cook something. it's very easy to use way too much. just use a couple of teaspoons at most and fill with a bit of water when you saute things.
>>76754219for many, it contributes to the starve/binge cycle that fatties get trapped in. they lose of bunch of weight starving themselves and then gain it all back because they never learn portion control or food choice.

>>76754928Nothing wrong with that. If anything, that's more natural and primal than modern day eating habits. I have been alternating binging nonstop gaining 20-25lbs (of body fat) and then losing it within 2 months for years now.
Been dieting for 10 days and I have acumulated a calorie deficit of 6k calories. I splurged last saturday and ate 3k once I accounted for the beers. Alcohol truly is a gain killer. Next football match I watch with the boys I will either drink diet soda or beer with diet lemonade.I am doing really well and I am not following any specific diet. I am 165cm and I was 73 kgs at the beggining with my target weight being 62k kgs.
As long as I have my oats, greek yogurt and whey in the morning I won't do anything stupid or binge
>>76755132If you cut out alcohol to once every two months your weight loss and management becomes 1000x easier
>>76753352>Saint Paul prophesying Roman Catholicism>1 Timothy 4:1-3Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

weight lossssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
last kilogram to go until goal weight
>scale finally went down 65 kgi'm officially over this plateau
its gonna sound dumb but i think i just dont have the mental fortitude to focus on heavy dieting and working out at the same time
>>76755282a moderate diet is way easier
>>76754516huh for me it was the opposite, last summer I was volunteering in the morning, doing my regular job in the afternoon and then focusing on my friends and hobbies in the evenings made my fasts extremely easy since I had so little free time, now that I work a regular morning job it's hard fasting when I have so much free time
>>76755288i should have just said dieting in general, waking up super early and driving 30 minutes to a gym or leaving after work to go to a gym has been making me lose roughly 2 hours of my day and it's been making me feel awful and close to cheating on my diet
>get free trial to one of the youtube influencer fitness apps>fill in info>goal is set to lose body fat and gain muscle while at 30% body fat>tells me i should be eating 2500 calories>tells me you will be 15% body fat by august 2026!LMAO. what a fucking scam.
>>76755298well if it's unsustainable then you'll have to balance it out better or decide which one you care about more and focus on that. if you're still fat, I'd recommend focusing on the diet until you're a healthy weight. working out at home with dumbbells and a bench is good enough to maintain muscle and saves a lot of time since you don't have to travel to the gym.
what can I do to fix forward head posture or "tech neck"? i've lost the weight and i do OHP, push ups and bench which is supposed to help, but there's no position i can put my head and neck in that doesn't feel like I look like a retarded faggot or like I'm walking with a stick up my ass because i'm trying so hard to walk straight
I still have hope I'll be 115kg or less by Christmas, just for the sake of the person next to me on the plane if nothing else. But I WILL be sub 90 in 2026.
Another weigh day, another pound lost. We WILL make it.
>>76755386Wall angels
>>76755386have you tried working your back or neck, retard.bench and pushups make your shoulders roll forward in rest if your chest muscles are stronger than your back.
>start keto>suddenly all youtube recommendations are carnivore diet slop "recipes" (ex: "OMG I just ate RAW meat and it SAVED my LIFE")
>>76755491there are youtube grifters for every meme diet these days
>>76755495I hate google so fucking much, gonna have to delete my entire search history so it'll stop recommending this shit to me
>>76755477how can i work my neck? i know i should be doing pullups but i don't have a bar..
>>76755527do rows, but if you can get a door pull up thing its very useful, if you live in eu usually the parks have pull up barsneck is kind of rough you can do the bare bones method and lie on a bench with your head hanging off the edge and hold a plate to your head and tilt it up and down, make sure you do both flexion and extension. lateral flexion is also good but you can build it in to the routine later if you like working neck. also dont go fast with neck exercises you'll strain it, slow controlled movements. theres also like neck bridges bodyweight stuff, im sure there is some progression to build up to it, but that might be a disaster depending on how fat/uncoordinated you are
>>76755549thank you anon, I have a bench at home so I can do that neck exercise. I don't trust the door pull up things much but I'll buy one. I'm not that fat anymore I'm 175 down from 310
>>76755290i think it was because i depressed as hell at the time. Couldn't care much about anything. Funnily enough, when i started actually noticing how much weight i'd lost i started cheering up a bit, then i couldn't fast for as long as before, lol. Now that i'm working and have a reinvigorated social life i just feel like i need actual energy more often, so i eat. I'm still losing weight, anyway, so it's all good, even if it's a good tad slower.
>>76755491>>76755497>people make videos about things they care about>LE GRIFTING!!!kys
>>76755557nice, if really really recommend the rows if you can't do pull ups. if you've been doing chest and front delt stuff like ohp and no back. you probably have a chest back imbalance (upper cross syndrome)
>up to 17kg lostIt's funny how different the mirror is from photos. I swear I can barely see a difference when I look in the mirror... but I saw a picture of myself pre-weightloss and I looked like one of those JD Vance photoshops.
>>76755593Yeah, same. I can't see any changes at all in the mirror, but neither the scale nor my now properly-fitting clothes lie.
>>76755598Totally, I put on a pair of my old pants from six months ago and I can't fucking believe how far the waist goes out.For me it went the other way too unfortunately: even at my fattest, I can remember looking in the mirror and thinking "naaah, I look alright." It's like I had reverse body dysmorphia lmao
>>76755576thanks for this info. I was so confused at the effort I was making and my posture seemingly only getting worse. I'll start doing that immediately
>>76755621np anon easy to fix, you got this
>>76755567you're lucky I'm so fat otherwise I'd chase you down and give you a good ol' wallop
>>76753352Fatty ContestCunningStunt98.1kgBeen doing 36 hour fasts and got back in to my old sports in the last week. I feel like I have some kind of flu all the time but I don't. Is this normal?
almost a month in, fought through a crazy plateau at the end here and I think I'm finally breaking through. WAGMI
>>76755593I feel the same way, but I'm watching my belt go from barely fitting in the first hole to gliding into the 4th hole. Gonna need to buy a shorter belt at this pace
>>767556444 weeks and a day until I fly home for Thanksgiving. I WILL BE UNDER 370 POUNDS BY THEN.
Why does my spine hurt while fasting?Soon it will be a year ago since I had a slipped disc in my lower back. I don't want to experience that ever again in my life. Right now it's hurting a little too much for my liking in the same spot. I'm 3 days into a fast. Is there a connection between those? I'm definitely not dehydrated
>>76755645>doesn't just use a cord of rope for a belt and tie itimagine falling for the beltjew
>>76755654sorry I have to wear a belt and suit/tie for work, otherwise I'd just wear sweatpants everywhere
>>76755652imagine doing a 3+ day fast WITHOUT consulting with your doctor first. How fucking retarded can you be?
>>76753352>25>188cm (6ft something)>110kg (242lbs)Started going to the gym after losing 20lbs on a diet and found out that I am weak as fuck and nearly decapitated myself while benching 40lbs. This shit feels so fucking bad as scrawny 15 year old kids absolutely MOG me. Has anyone been in such a situation and did it get better?
>>76755704Brother everyone starts there. Just keep going noob gains incoming.
>>76755712Thanks anon really needed to hear it from a real person, will not dissapoint!
>>76755715Np. The difference between you and the guy benching 2 plate is just that he's been consistently doing it for years. If you keep at it you'll get there chin up buttercup.
>>76755704The delta between someone who's been lifting for a few months and someone who has never lifted in their lift is huge. Its been about 9 months since I started and I went from roughly where you are, barely able to bench 60lbs for 10reps to currently to benching 130lbs for 11 reps during the session I did on Tuesday. Eat plenty of protein, get good sleeps, and workout 2 to 3 times a week and you'll probably double your numbers by this time next month.
>>76755298>adding hours on the road to go to a place to lift heavy metalthis is exactly why I never pull through with gyms. the one time I did, the gym was literally located on a trainstop on my way to and from work so it was easy. but now I don't have that anymore and would have to drive about 20 minutes to the nearest gym, 35 minutes if there's traffic. that's why I started doing calisthenics at home with my own weight as starter. it's been quite effective so far. I'm doing about 15-20 minutes of exercise straight before going to bed. always do stuff until total muscle failure. never felt more motivated to "hit the gym" than now.
>>76755715>>76755747damn did I need to hear this I'm in the same position as that guy feeling like an absolute faggot struggling to bench 35-40kg
>>76755774Fuck my chud life, why did I go through my teens doing nothing except for binge drinking and playing videogames, but it's not too late
my sweatpants keep falling off all the time now
>>76755788you were a weak faggot back then too you just didn't have to confront it (same as me). we'll get strong now
>>76755790I'm a poorfag and the buying new clothes every time i drop sizes going from 3XL to M has been a pain
>>76755790Get the type with a draw string
>>76755790I'm annoyed about this. My belt now is definitely looser than it was a month ago, but my gut still measures the same.
Vro LA fitness is so much nicer than planet fitness what the hellthey have like 6 different bench presses, 2 smith machines, 3 squat racks, and a ton of other machinesmeanwhile planet fitness only has 3 smith machines
>>76755915>planet fitnessisn't that the place with the lunk alarms? Why would you ever debase yourself and go to one of those?
>>76755931>isn't that the place with the lunk alarmsthose don't work>Why would you ever debase yourself and go to one of those?they're open 24 hours and cost 1/3rd of the price as LA fitness
>>76755931I used to work at a PF and it depends on the staff. I worked over nights, I loved it, just the pay wasn't good. I would blast the lunk alarm at 2am to scare anyone there. Probably my 2nd favorite job ever, and I was loved by the memebers who came in as they knew I didn't care if they lifted heavy just dont be annoying about it. 5 am the strippers came in. The boss would ask me to also work mornings to help cover and she basically wouldn't let me do any work and just wanted to talk about Game of Thrones. My gym was fucking spotless, I really took pride in that, but basically I got so efficient at the job that of my 8 hour shift Id only work like a total of 3 hours and rest of the time I watch movies or what not.

Do you lads take creatine? Curious if I should be just to not be so exhausted on my cut. But I also dont want to bloat up.
>30% bodyfat>want to to go down to 20%>max 1600kcal per day yeah no way this is possible
>>76756261Consider >>76756095
to think I used to look like that...
>>76756280Reminds me of the gif with that guys belly sniffing the floor.

>>76756294Yes, post body also.
>>76756261i'm doing 1000kcal right now
>>76756311kudos to youbut no way i could do that
>>76756324yes you can

>slowly building a good chest and back>waist now noticeably slimmer than chest Just 30 more lbs and ill make it. Then once im buff im gonna stroll into my LGS for Friday Night Magic and flex on all the fatties and hopefully pull a mentally ill white nerdy girls who likes MTG.
>>76756432Keep up the good work anon Thinking of ending my fast today, only lost another 0.5lb not eating yesterday and it sucked. Would like to get a little bit leaner on this cut and hopefully reset some of my hunger signals, it will be a 36 hour fast and I hope that is enough.
>>76756296https://litter.catbox.moe/e3271ojq6txrksqt.pnglitter box in case you don't want to see it
>>76756261it's so fucking bad, especially once you get down to under 20% bfI've been limiting my diet strictly to 1500c, lifting 4x a week, and I've lost a single pound this entire month. I feel especially shit on lifting days.
>>76756493For a moment I tought you posted a picture of me a year ago (I still look the same at 240lbs but scaled down and my tits are perky)
>>76756524Surely you are probably building muscle and losing fat.
moving onto month 5 of "crash dieting"
Guys over 300lbs what are you eating to get enough protein to keep/build muscle as you lose weight?
>>76756536the numbers still aren't good. Maybe I'm gaining .25-.5 pounds of muscle per month and losing 1.25-1.5 pounds of fat. When I started I was losing 4 pounds a month doing the same diet. My weight loss has slowed down at least 70%, but I still feel like shit and at this point I'm just slowing muscle gains by not eating enough.
I’m down to 192 lbs, started at 230.Not really fat but I want to lose another 10-15 as I am trying to get back into running shape like I was in high school
>>76756560IDGAF about macros at this stage. I’m just eating sensibly, not counting calories (though I’ve counted only one day and I average around 900-1200 a day. Usually a piece of steak with just a sear, 4 eggs and coffees throughout the day, splash of milk and no sugar and I’ve lost almost 50lb in 2 months
fatty contesthungrybeaver295.3 lbs
>>76756595>IDGAF about macros at this stageI understand anon as I did not either until I noticed I was getting smaller but keeping the same general shape ending up as skinnyfat. Protein is very important for muscle retention so it is good that you are getting okayish amounts just try to keep it to 0.7g per pound of lean mass of your goal weight if not more.
>>76756534post perky tits plz
>>76756560I'm doing keto, so it's easy to get enough protein through my normal diet. If anything I have to make sure I'm not eating too much protein a day otherwise it'll kick you out of ketosis
Reminder that if youre slimming down for aesthetic reasons you're 1000% doing yourself a disservice by not lifting now. You can still gain muscle lifting on a large deficit if youre gigafat.
>>76756627On average how much protein do you think you eat a day?
>>76756652I try to get minimum 100g, maximum 130-140g. Anything higher than that causes excess glucuconogenesis and kicks me out of keto
Poor man's soup>chicken broth from a box>frozen veggies>frozen chicken breast precooked on mass in oven>eggs>microwave>hot sauce of choice for flavorshrimple as
>>76756673not bad but could be made better with more seasoning, and potato's.
Wait, is "goal" lean body mass in the OP the same or different as what calculators estimate mine is online? They say at 327lbs 5'10 that my LBM is 195 pounds. Which is a lot of grams of protein to scarf down in a day
>>76755497at least the sugar diet guy who used to haunt these threads finally died of diabetes
woke up with a priapism.what a great way to start the second day of my fast. in agony.>nothing feels better than needles in your COCKnot going to quit the fast.
>>76756673Dude skim the scum off the top of the soup while its cooking
>>76756683thank god, that dude was annoying as fuck
>>76756676Thats the egg white bro. I didn't cook it i just microwaved it.
>>76756686>skim the scumAND WASTE PRECIOUS PROTEINS????
>>76756684fasting can cause painful boners?
>>76756678146g of protein is not that hard to hit, aim for lean proteins and lentils help meet the mark.
>>76756693For me yes. But I have huge painful erections while not fasting as well.
>>76756693no, but high salt intake from the previous day did it to me, i forgot when i lose weight it gets easier for my blood pressure to spike and give me painful priapism's when i wake up.>doctors were too retarded to figure out anything.
How are vegetables real>bowl full of asparagus>200g>44 caloriesThey are so yummy too
>>76756695>>76756673Aye this soup is like:300g cooked chicken breast 90g protein3 eggs 7g eachThen like 10g between the cup of broth and veggies.121g protein total.
>>76756699are you counting the butter/frying oil
>>76756651what if im slimming down for dynamic purposes with a future partner
>>76756625As you wish
Ive read the Physiqonomic article on fat loss and it says to eat protein per bodyweight, but /fat/ says to eat protein per lb of goal lean body mass. Which is it?
>>76756718>puffy soft pink nipsDude, you're beautiful.
>>76756723Thank you :3
pretty sure post body guy is some weird homosexual
>>76756722I agree with /fat/. Most people are probably over doing it with protein. I am more jacked than at least 95% of this board and I only eat like a 100 grams. I weigh 215
>>76753415>+0.9lbs after the 1255 kcals falafel wraps i ate yesterdaywhy did i think it was a good idea? it's over.today, i ate chicken breast and some chips.600kcals total. so far.let's hope it's all glycogen and water weight.

>>76754633>Lost 20 kilos and finally not obese anymoregood job>Can the random measurements on smart scales be trusted?no. try the three or seven pinches method to calculate body fat.
>>76756718ZAMN you weren't lying. HIGHLY suckable
>>76756748what kind of chicken do you have?a single peace of breast (half the width of the actual chicken. like left or right half) woth no bones weighs 364 grams/0.8lbs? my piece was 125 grams and the rest were chips and milk.
>>76756751They were a confidnence killer in highschool but later in life I accepted them, will get rid of them once I hit 85kg tho
>>76756759i got the frozen american ones pumped full of saline. they come out of the oven ~350g cooked. same as yours, one singular breast of a chicken, we just have bigger chickens i guess
>>76756722quote from the articlethis has you eating way too many calories though, i wouldnt follow it>One exception: The general rule is to set protein intake per pound of LEAN MASS. But the problem with this is figuring out your body fat can be both time-consuming and troublesome,
>>76756715I steamed them and added no condiments
>>76756718I'm a woman and these look exactly like mine. It's comforting to see positive comments about them because I was always self-conscious of mine too
>>76756802You know the rules...
>>76756802hello, I lost 140lbs and i have slight definition now. can we have sex please?
>>76756802I'm going to tell you something tranny. When the nipples are succulent like that it reeks sexuality It's like they are engorged with lust. Although typically a bigger breast is preferred to be attached to said nipples than this gentleman possess.
>>76756808the new rule is all women on the internet have cocks and look like your uncle in a wig
>>76756822>t. post body poster
>>76756822Breasts that look like that actually have a birth defect called tuberous breasts, which is partially why I thought everyone hated them and why I'm surprised by the generally positive response here
tits are tits
I weight myself every morning, except when I'm late for work.
>>76756841They look cute when the nipples get hard, it's like a boob coming out of a boob. Two times the boob.
>>76756841Mine are definitely not as bad as the examples on google, but zamn thank you for giving me a name, the plastic surgeon that inspected me never mentioned that. He just said that it's 90% fat and that he'd just make a small incision below the nipple to remove the gland, I just have to lose weight first
>>76756861To be fair, I have no idea if it's considered a defect on men, since they aren't supposed to develop extra tissue on the underside of the breast anyway
