>have to urge to eat frozen pizza on the weekendsHelp me
my weight loss is stalling
I need to overcome my fear of cooking. Planning and shopping and prepping is so overwhelming but it's killing my progress.I keep defaulting to drinking 3 protein shakes and a frozen meal but this shit isn't working.
>>76996694Got put onto California Pizza Kitchen cauliflower pizzas by a friend. They’re 12in (860cal) and the crust is made with cauliflower. A little extra fiber too.https://www.walmart.com/ip/California-Kitchen-Frozen-Pizza-Cauliflower-Crust-Pizza-with-Tomato-Basil-Sauce-12-4-oz-Frozen/563707551?
>>76996602First attempt at lettuce wrapped burgers, turns out im fucking shit at wrapping lettuce, thing was falling apart. If I get better at making tighter less messy wraps ill probably have these almost every day
I weighted myself with and without a 1 liter water bottle and the scale didn't even change. I've been believing in lies.
>>76996850I think some scales try to remember the weight from a minute earlier so that they don’t appear like they are inaccurate if you weighed yourself twice. Weigh yourself with the bottle again after 20 minutes
>>76996816>lettuce wrappedWhat a faggot.
>>76996778You only have to prep once a week, you should have time for that
Dry January Beauty sleep mocktail (215cal):-8oz coconut water (electrolytes, prevent nighttime dehydration)-4oz tart cherry juice (naturally occuring tryptophan and melatonin)-4oz pomegranate juice (naturally occuring magnesium, yummy)-200-400mg magnesium glycinate powder (promotes sleep, can be found cheaply in capsule form)-2 tablespoons collagen peptide powder (promotes skin and joint elasticity)1. Mix collagen and magnesium powder with coconut water until fully incorporated. Add ice. 2. Add fruit juices, sip, cozy up, and dream sweetly.
>>76996816just use a fork you neanderthal
>>76996778potatos au graten is a good starting point for cooking.thin sliced potato in a tray/oven pan, 1/8 cup of milk, a few pats of butter on top, salt/pepper
>>76996816Do what the asians do. Cook the meat more like a log or ball and wrap the lettuce and fillings inside of it so you can eat it like a taco or just put it all in your mouth in one shot. Much easier than trying to do a burger or wrap like form.
>>76996778start with something easy like eggs. good to master those since there is a lot you can do with them.>>76996816romaine lettuce is easy to use, makes a little bowl.
>ribs are visible but belly fat still presentguess we're going skelly mode
I know in the long run it's fine to have a rare day where I lose control and eat over maintenance as long as I still stick to my diet overall but I still feel guilty for doing so.
This week was just hardcore exercise and weightlifting. F man I started off today with a meal of chicken breast and rice. Was good but was hungry af all day. For dinner, I decided to get government-supply cheeseburger and a tiny bag of Doritos. Still feel hungry af. I could eat two or three cheeseburgers with my desire. It sucks bros what do? Drink water?
>>76996602How do I stop eating for mental comfort? I'm not even hungry, no cravings. I just want to eat to be happy and relaxed and satisfied.
>>76997055Find something else that does that for you like walking or smoking weed
>work second shift, so I get done at 11>always wind up making myself food when I get inIt isn't unhealthy garbage thankfully, but I still know I shouldn't be doing it.How do you guys resist the urge to get a snack in at night?
>>76997079dont have snacks at home in the first place
>>76996778ground beef is your friend
>>76997055whenever you that feeling eat a big plate of veggies. that will cure you of it. you don't have to deny yourself food. you just have to eat something low calorie in a reasonable portion. a glass of water often makes those cravings go away as well.
I'm starting at 229.2 lbs, my goal is to lose 60 lbs by the end of the year. Wish me luck frens
>>76997033cut the carbs for a week and see how hungry you get.

>>76996816that looks delicious, but how the fuck is that 850 calories>olive oil and mayowhat the hellalso>66 calories from onion???? did you eat the entire fucking thing?
>>76997207Well it is a burger hence oil and mayoand i buy really big onions
>>76997232who goes into a burger restaurant and asks for olive oil on their burger, you fucking freak?
you don't understandI NEEDED a refeed
Burnt my fingers so wont be able to lift for a while. Guess I can just focus on my diet now for a while without worrying about fueling for weight sessions. see what happens
>>76997234how can i cook beef patties without oil, you want me to jerk off onto the pan
>>76996816Honestly they look pretty good
>>76997247You don't need any oil. Beef renders fat naturally. You can even cook it in a pan that isn't non-stick and you'll be fine. You also don't need to add mayonnaise. I know you are the same guy from yesterday who made like 900 calorie protein pancakes when an average protein pancake recipe tops out at like 400 max. You really need to rein in your use of calories and develop better habits. I'm not mocking you. I'm just trying to help you out here. Having the mentality that you have to fry one of the fattiest meats in oil and absolutely have to add mayonnaise because it's a burger is not a healthy mindset. It makes no sense to get rid of a hundred calories of bun if you're just gonna slather the thing in pure fat.

Do all types of tea (just teabags, plain) help you lose weight? I know green tea does, but I have a bunch of chamomile lemon raspberry whatever.
I deserve a dessert.
>>76997301the main reason to drink tea is it helps you drink water; antioxidants and the like arent that a big deal in the grand scheme of things. just dont add sugar or milk and drink the tea you like

I know you guys hate gork but Mr Scale says knows it's shit (if properly tardwrangled)I think the reason people don't like AI is they won't want to have to tardwrangle a computer but I like the natural language interface
>>76997384until hallucinations are eliminated, you'll need to double check everything it generates.it's so fucking tiring. but AI does have its uses.like asking it about things you have absolutely no idea about so it'll point you in the right direction or looking up very specific things that a regular search engine fails to pull for you.
>>76997394>until hallucinations are eliminated, you'll need to double check everything it generatesthat's half the tardwrangling, the other half is setting up the prompt correctlythe accuracy on the calculations themselves are usually pretty good but it likes to hallucinate meals between days if you don't tell it not to

>>76997421well that is something that could happen. wearing clothes that actually fit you will make you look better. the question about that anon is how did it not come up sooner? does he have absolutely no one that cares about him? one would think he would eventually get told in passing ''time for some new clothes huh, anon?''perhaps he's one of those ''i'm dressing for comfort though!!!'' queers. but as many learn.. you have to wear your correct size if you want to show off your actual size

>>76997487it starts at your tippy tips and goes inward. so you'll lose foot fat and hand fat first. then forearm and shins. while that's happening you'll be losing neck and face. then it's a massive ''power gap'' if you will with the amount of time and effort losing torso & thigh & upper arm & shoulder fat
>>76997493damni'll have to suffer looking like a woman for a long ass time, huh?

My favorite pair of pants is starting to fit me more like a person and less like a pile of lard squeezed into some fabric. Can’t wait until I fit into my favorite jeans again. I did “fit into” them at 160lbs, but I looked best and felt most comfortable at 140lbs. Another victory is that I’m feeling more mobility in my legs after getting used to movement and losing some of the swelling around my knees (lipedema)
>>76998731>>76998741I lost 8 pounds of edema from walking for 1 hour.

Annoyed with the muscle loss I’ve experienced since gaining weight. Used to be able to do workouts with my extra heavy resistance band (definitely felt the burn, but still). Now I’m down to a medium or even light for some workouts and struggling. If my scale is to be believed, I’m down about 14lbs in muscle mass compared to 1.5 years ago. But I’m heavier too. So less muscle doing more work. 2026 is the year I get strong enough to carry my kids for as long as they want again.

>>76998792How the fuck is this 203 pounds. Looks like maybe 180.
>>76998882Not neglecting protein anymore, but paying the price for doing it earlier. Also, Pilates isn’t a meme workout imo. It’s an accessible, low impact way of moving for people with chronic pain and joint instability like myself.I was my fittest, most mobile, in the least amount of pain, plus looked my best when I was doing mat Pilates at home every day and studio classes 1-2x/month to get form corrections as I learned new exercises. Pilates gave me back my ability to do some of the things I loved after becoming physically disabled, and sticking with it was what made me feel the best.
105kg at 196cm. Not too bad, my arms and legs are skinny but i have big man boobs and a visible stomach. Also fatty face a bit. Started diet this year. My habbit is to have at least one sugar soda at night when gaming (usually red bull). In addition every night one kind of candies like a pack of Haribo, pringles, etc. Doing this for years so this is the biggest pain to stop for me. I feel so empty by skipping these. Incredible sugar lust. I try to fill my stomach with bananas instead but it doesn't really fullfil the desire. Hope that stops soon.Also too much processed food, that's probably the main reason for my weight. Frozen pizzas, frozen nuggets, mcdonalds, etc. Not even that much in amount each time though. But i started cooking myself now, still looking for quick recipes. Eating lots of rice with cooked broccoli and can tuna or other canned fishes. Kinda tasty.
>>76998896I’m 5’9. Also most of my weight is in my legs due to lipedema.
>>76998906Youre also weighing yourself in clothes in the middle of the day.
>>76998914I woke up at noon since it’s Sunday. No water or food yet (shame). Wearing leggings and a tee, so the .8 is prob clothing.

>>76999018No, I was born with it. My siblings, kids, and dad are the same. It’s harmless, but I showed the pediatrician and it’s from the pinkie toe tendon being a bit too short. Perhaps some form of physical therapy carried out over a long period of time could lengthen the tendon, but it hasn’t bothered me more than the odd comment in my 24 years of existence.>>76999019Men post shirtless bodychecks all the time.

Was contemplating buying a set of adjustable dumbbells to use at my apartment to deal with gym anxiety, but I'm worried about my bedroom starting to smell like a gym as a result of me working out in it. I mean I bathe regularly and use deodorant etc, but still. Anyone have experience with it, is it a real concern?
>>76999084No its not a real concern if you shower before going to bed.
>>76999084I workout in my home. Buy some Lysol or Clorox wipes to clean your mat or other equipment, and shower after use and you should be golden.
How accurate are these in terms of tracking calories burnt on a walk? I found a route that had some decent hills nearby and it ended up being a nice workout. Was just curious what other's experiences have been.
I binged hard on the weekend but I was heavily under eating on the weekdays so it almost balanced out and I finished still at a deficit. I think I was just board on the weekends and not in a good place and so seemed comfort in food. I shan’t make that mistake this week.
>>76999109For reference, this is the workout my apple watch tracked for yesterday.

>>76999266mine were $250 for both, on sale at the time, and they go up to 55lbs. completely worth it if you are consistently using them.

I've seen a few anons here (or the same one...?) advocate for using AI as your tracker over apps. Which AI are you using? ChatGPT or Grok?
>>76999292Don't, AI is designed to agree with you, not provide accurate information.
>>76999292AI users are spiritual jeets
>>76999193Yeah I have a hard time believing the total calories portion, even the active parts seems like a stretch. It was a lot of uphill walking, but I'm just trying to figure out to what degree the accuracy is. Best case it seems like a very generous general idea of what I burned skewed toward a much larger number, but I'm thinking maybe subtracting 20%-30% to get a better idea, not sure though.
>>76999289Have you been working out? Drinking water? Took a nice dump? I’ve only lost 1lb so far but I’m already fitting into my clothing better as well. I’ve noticed my bloat and leg swelling going down, but if the scale isn’t moving it may be muscle gain making up the difference. (If you’ve been working out or moving more)
>>76999305>>76999306oh okay. i'll just stick to pen and paper then

>>76996602Hey anons, so I am at 150 pounds which is about 24.5 on the BMI scale but I still look decently chubby, a good amount of that is most likely loose skin but do some people just still look fat at a healthy bmi and need to lose more?
>>7699940124.5 doesn't sound healthy at all. who are you trying to fool?
Hit my first plateau after 2.5 months of continuous weight loss. 8 days of no movement on the scale. Feels bad man
whenever I plateau I just choose not to plateau anymore and it goes away
>>76999401IDK desu. 24,5 is in the normal bmi range but I'm currently 25,7 and still fat some.

>>76999368i trust ai to teach me programming concepts, answer my obscure computer questions, banter with me about movie fan theories, help me understand anatomy, biology, chemistry, physics, but NEVER weight loss. ai is AWFUL for weight loss because all it can tell you is normie-friendly reddit-tier advice within arbitrary (and deeply flawed) government guidelines.if you want to lose weight, you need the secret esoteric knowledge possessed by a few anons that lurk this thread and haunt the wider forum in other /fit/ threads. it's the only place to find the truth. ai will never take a risk when it comes to your health. it will always error on the side of caution. it will never consider that you're better off doing a strict (dangerous?) cut instead of staying a disgusting fatass forever, and that's what most people do. i could see it working for some people if they really understood its limitations and didn't ask too much from it. asking how many calories is in different foods is a good place to start with ai but i take the 'advice' it gives with a grain of salt. it's usually the stuff it scraped from reddit and it shows.

>>76999495Pop tarts are lookin mighty fine right now
>>76999477i agree with you. i love ai but i don't want it to have anything to do with my diet, exercise, or meal planning. it will agree with whatever bullshit you say to it if you bully it even just a little. watch it freak out if you tell it you're going to eat 10 eggs for breakfast but then explain your reasoning and it will agree with you, even if thinks what you're doing is unsafe. the problem is that it will still nag you with cookie-cutter solutions that don't fit your specific goals and anything you're doing that defies common knowledge is going to set off its alarm bells. it also forgets important information even if you keep repeating it. fasting- for instance- is a perfectly reasonable way to get into an extreme deficit overnight but since there are inherent risks it's going to be overly cautious and try to steer you away from that idea. but you can just bully it a bit and it will back down and agree with you. ai is spineless. that's one of its biggest problems.
i think it's time i give lyle's crash diet a try. i'll ''bulk'' from clearing out the rest of my pantry then begin.
>>76999470You’re not wrong, even 4chan advice when it comes to weight loss is too tame, people in here will freak out if I tell them I lost 30lbs in a month doing 1500cal cut and only eating 700-800cal a day of literally chicken breast and boiled eggs every single day.I went from 160lbs to 130lbs in a month without glp1s, was lifting and doing cardio 5x, got to my goal weight and now I’m just maintaining.I think cutting slowly is the biggest waste of time, the longer ur cut takes the biggest are the chances you’ll fail it or binge.My advice for you and everyone in here? Just do whatever the fuck you can to get to ur goal weight, if dry fasting, fasting, keto, carnivore, vegan, sugar diet works for you then just do it.Taking 6 months to a year for something that can be done in 1-2 months is fucking stupid, what worked for me was kind of a psmf/keto/carnivore hybrid? I don’t even know
AI got me on this "latest science" diet plan>25 % BF (loss of 1% of bodyweight a week)20–25 % BF (0,8%)15–20 % BF (0,7%)<15 % BF (0,5%)According to it if you lose weight faster below 25% you can lose muscle mass, and it cited some studies to support these rates. It's also got me on 1,2g / kg of BW of protein a day because of diet and my 1000 calorie deficit and 20k steps a day.These are the advices it gave me and they don't seem so bad.
>>76999532I don’t believe the loss is that big, when I cut down to 1kg/wk I looked bigger actually and was done with my cut faster, even roiders can’t avoid this, most of the time isn’t even muscle mass ur losing but just water retention on ur muscles, this is what happens when ur bulked and bloated sniffing on creatine

Why is sugar so bad for weight loss?
>>76999711Foods high in sugar, specifically added or refined, tend to spike dopamine when you eat them. This can lead you to seek out that feeling, or even become addicted to it. And much like any other addiction, it’s never as “good” as the first time. So your body craves higher and higher doses more frequently. Also, sugars are the easiest for your body to break down and convert into energy. This why glucose gels during a long distance run are popular and even beneficial when your body needs it, but at other times that energy from sugar is expended quickly, leading to you feeling hungry again later. Compared to having a meal high in protein, you’d feel hungrier much sooner since your body is taking less time to digest the sugary treat, even if it’s higher in calories (energy content).
>>76999711it spikes your blood sugar and insulin levels. makes you feel good right after you eat it but then a couple hours later you experience intense hunger. basically eating sugary stuff makes you crave more sugary stuff. when you cut out almost all sugars, you stop getting these bullshit hunger signals, want to eat less frequently, and can eat smaller portions and stay full longer. cutting out sugar is the easiest way lower your daily calorie intake. but it's not easy to go cold turkey and just stop eating sugar entirely. what i do is grab a single small bar of dark chocolate from the store when i start craving something sweet after a week or two of abstaining. i don't eat any other sweets when i'm dieting though.
>>76999748>>76999754Got it, but eating a bit of sugar here and there, aside from the calories & cravings, doesn't have any *real* impact on weight loss?
is ''granny'' the ''gonblixn'' lady that gets spammed
>>76999711It’s not, the sugar diet aka eating 500g of sugar everyday spikes ur igf-1 making it extremely easy to lose weight, it’s like pinning gh but natty
I think I misunderestimated my TDEE by a few hundred.That was fine while I was losing but now I'm trying to maintain.The numbers don't lie but it still kind feels the fatass at the back of my mind is making excuses.
>>76999760I mean, if you’re in a deficit you’ll lose weight regardless of what you’re eating. Even if it’s cake and cookies every day.How you’ll feel compared to eating better is probably a different story though. >>76999766No idea who that is but I love a good rabbithole. Enlighten me?

Good day even though my dinner was somewhat unhealthy and high sodium.Turns out refined sugars works tho. Went from weekly Crumbl cookie binges to mostly craving proteins and settling for a tsp of manuka honey or agave nectar in my tea when the urge hits. Who woulda thunk?

>>76999975I ended up on a de-facto low carb diet (the only bread I really eat is a bagel per day and I've replaced any added sugar from coffee or tea or whatever with splenda) but mostly because I like fat and protein more than I like carbs
>>76999975All I track and aim for 160g+ of protein and no more than 1600 calories in a day.Carbs and Fat matter very little to me, though I still throw in some veggies with dinner and fruit as snacks between meals to make sure I'm getting enough to keep me energized for the gym.

>>76999760i don't know. it's a slippery slope. when i let myself eat whatever i want, i gain weight. when i strictly control sugar and carbs, i can lose weight. a little sugar is okay but it's very easy for it to get out of hand. that's why i have to follow the 'once a week' rule. otherwise it becomes 'once a day' or more and the weight loss stops.

>>76996602>Matthew 16:6-12Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we haven't eaten the Eucharist lately. Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have yet to eat bread? Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? Then understood they how that he bade them not beware eating the wrong bread, but of the DOCTRINE of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees."

>>76996816Lettuce wrapped burgers are stupid imo.The only purpose of iceberg lettuce is its crunchy texture but it loses that when heated up. Use cabbage as wrapping. Look up gołąbki, traditional Polish dish - rice and ground meat wrapped in cabbage. Can simply use more meat and less rice.Other kinds of lettuce can work as a substitute, especially the "frilly" ones, like the roman recommended by one anon, those are sturdier.Don't use oil for ground beef, as others have mentioned. Many meats have more than enough fat to not require adding extra.Mayo kills the taste of the burger imo. Meat is best when lightly seasoned, salt and pepper are all you need.This guy makes good homemade recipes for lower calorie / higher protein versions of dishes which don't sacrifice the flavor, quite the contrary. The important part is he makes an effort to understand why specific dish tastes good without overly criticizng them and how to replicate or improve them while following crucial concepts, instead of merely listing substitutes or going for some fads.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJPQDyw9YXI

Every man I know who doesn't workout at the gym has at least a niche exercise that they do at home week after week. It may target one or two muscles but that's their exercise. For someone they might have weights and target biceps and do curls only, others have a bench press and target pecs / triceps, others might do pushups, others situps.I find this fascinating, it's like they don't want to workout at the gym multiple days targetting multiple muscles but will target perhaps 1 main muscle and become strong there. They might be doing this exercise alone for 10+ years.I do max pushups sets two days a week. Anyone else has a niche exercise?

My college is offering a ski and snowboarding class. I may sign up if it fits into my schedule. $155 is a great deal for half a season of lift tickets, plus I used to love skiing and downhill burns up to 500cal/hour.
I never made past day 3 of dieting, what's the secret
I guess the one plus side to being obese for years is that you've been doing leg day every day of your lifeGoddamn my legs are already so stacked the more fat I shed off
>>77001088sheer fucking will, at least for me.
>>77001088Ease into it. Don’t try to go from mega fatass eating xl pizzas and gallons of ice cream to super strict <1k cal of lettuce and chicken. Start by eliminating soda, swapping a daily sandwich for a salad, that kind of thing. Rule of thumb is it takes about 2 weeks to form a habit. If you make it that long you can do it for years. >>77001071If you’re worried enough to censor you should probably block out the QR code too
>>77001154Lol probably. Honestly not that worried. Would be cool to meet other students from /fit/ if you cared enough to sleuth out my school and are also enrolled. Also, brunch. Turkey bacon cheese wrap with salad and bevvies
>>77001088The trick is to not think of it as dieting. Approach it from completely different angle. If you try losing weight just to be less fat and force yourself to eat less, you will almost certainly fail sooner or later, unless you have the mind of steel. Quitting after three days is very weak to be fair but there's millions of people who fail after a week, two, even three months and revert to previous spot or worse regardless.What you want to do is focus on building muscle. You can start small with adjustable set of dumbbells if you don't want a gym membership. Can buy entry level stuff really cheap.What is needed to build muscle? Protein. What are the best sources of protein? Meat, eggs, dairy. Build your diet around those products. That's it, I don't expect you to do anything else. Just make sure your meals have one of those three food groups as the focus.That alone is already enough. Why does it work? Because protein is considered more satiating by your body. It sends different signals, has different hormonal response. Too much fat makes youfeel gross. Carbs,especially processed sweets, make you feel hungry soon after. Protein rich meal keeps you satiated for several hours and you simply stop feeling the urge to eat more. That's the magic, it happens by itself.
I weighed in today and found I'm down 10lbs (190.6 today, previously weighed in weeks ago at 200lbs). I'm not sure how I lost so much, my diet may have gotten a little better and I did get the flu last week but I haven't worked out in weeks.
>>77001088Next thing to think about is the fact too much meat can cause constipation. Combat it by eating a lot of vegetables which are rich in fiber. Meat + veggies based diet will keep you full longer. Both biologically and physically, veggies simply take up a lot of space filling your stomach, meat sends signals to your body that you got enough nutrition and don't need to refill anytime soon. You don't have to avoid carbs, keep eating rice or pasta or whatever, just make protein (and fiber) the priority.Those two steps are a lot more realistic that trying to stick to some retarded fad diet. You can eat beef, pork, chicken, duck, fish, seafood. Breasts, thighs, ribs, tenderloin. Doesn't matter, mix and choose by your own preference. Just make sure it isn't all sausages and bacon (can still eat some, don't worry). For some of the fattier meats, you don't need to use oil to fry them, keep that in mind.If you're the type who slathers everything with mayo, simply experiment with other condiments or spice mixes. You might enjoy their flavor more.
>>77001172Got too overwhelmed by the texture of the aioli and salad together. I want to like garlic aioli so bad cause it’s so tasty but it reminds me too much of mayo :(
>>77001088Other tricks are keeping your snacks in less accessible areas. If the bag of chips sits on your desk, it will be a lot harder to resist it than if it's on the highest shelf in a room you rarely visit.If you feel the need to snack, drink water or tea instead. It's likely you're just dehydrated - our bodies SUCK at differeniating between thirst and hunger. Wait a couple of minutes. The urge will likely disappear for quite a while.If you have to eat something, make it something low calorie like rice waffles, or small like sunflower/pumpkin seeds - but in case of seeds, don't eat them by handful, instead do so by single piece at a time, they're very calorie dense. I do that by focusing on "peeling off their skin" before eating them. Impossible to eat a lot this way and it keeps your mouth busy for a long time.However, I find it more effective to have a BIG meal full of protein and then simply not eating for a long time. Snacking is treacherous. It's safer to preemptively eliminate the risk.On that note, I strongly recommend "intermittent fasting". It's called fasting but it doesn't entail drastically cutting your calories. You simply shorten the eating window. When you wake up, don't immediately eat. Make a coffee or green tea. Then make another cup and go out to walk. Get your steps in. No advanced cardio, just walk. Can be walking around your block. Only eat after coming back. If you don't feel super hungry, drink another cup instead and wait.Eat a big meal. Again, protein focused. Few hours later, another big meal, protein focused again. Two or three meals. AIm for more than 100g of protein. If you can do more like 160g, awesome. If it feels like too much bother, just try to make sure it's 100+g every day. Nothing crazy. Stop eating at least three hours before bed. Only water and other zero calorie drinks allowed, like some teas.Intermittent fasting doesn't work for everyone but I found it very helpful. Try it out, there's no harm.
>>77001172That looks pretty tasty but I’m dubious it’s only 650 cal for everything. Protein looks low too. I might pick up some turkey and have a wrap for lunch myself
>>77001268Either way I didn’t eat most of it cause the texture weirded me out. But now that I think about it the wrap was probably around 500cal even though the turkey and cheese were light, they put a lot of aioli.
My school has a 1 mile walking track. Pretty neat. Gonna circle it for an hour between classes.
>>77001088I tried for 7 years before it stuck. try forcing yourself not to eat until dinner. just spend the day walking, shopping, or sitting outside. it might flip a switch for you.
>>77001107Time to train it, I guess>>77001154>Start by eliminating soda, swapping a daily sandwich for a salad>Rule of thumb is it takes about 2 weeks to form a habitI see, I'll start today by eating at maintenance for a week, then -500 next week, then my goal of -1000 the week after, my maintenance is 2500 so I think I'll be okay, by then I guess I will be more used to calorie restriction and will have more willpower>>77001193>Quitting after three days is very weak to be fairI'm severely mentally ill, sometimes I think I should unironically be in a psych ward. I have crippling OCD eating away at my will everyday, from germaphobia with multiple handwashes a day to organizing and reorganizing stuff multiple times a day, the meds help but make me drowsy. It's no excuse, but I'd have to be delusional to think this doesn't make things harder.

>>77001226this nigga BROWN
>>77001285Yeah that’s a pretty reasonable starting schedule. It gets easier the longer you do it- you just learn how to fill yourself up on fewer cals. After a few months you’ll have a regular grocery list, favorite lean meals etc. After just a few weeks you’ll start to see progress which is another huge motivator. It really is the first 10-15 days that are the hardest, when you just have to trust the plan.
>>77001285Yeah, mental conditions are serious detriments. I feel you man. That's why I recommended changing your approach. Don't try what didn't work many times already. Go at it from different angle. Beginner gains are real and you might enjoy the process of progressing with weight lifting. Like a game. Small steps to improve your irl account. Start with something simple. Pic rel is what i was doing at start because I'm a poorfag who could only afford $30 set of dumbbells.-1000 cal is quite extreme. Stick to -500, maybe extend to -750 later. Your body needs energy to function and can react wildly if you change your habits too much. Instead of harsh calorie deficit, it's better to simply walk more to increase your energy expenditure.

To be honest, for weight loss alone, it was the single most effective thing I implemented and the one which truly sped up the process - but obviously circumstances differ. Don't jump into 10k immediately either, just progressively increase.I recommend saving my long posts for the future, when you'll have more time to process them and also better idea of your personal goals. Speaking of, final one below:>>77001088There are two other big reasons why you should want to implement weight lifting into your weight loss journey.First is the fact that people with more muscle mass have better metabolism. You could have two identical humans with the only difference being one guy has more muscle mass and he will always burn more calories passively. Yeah, even just by sitting on his ass or sleeping, his body spends more calories on its usual functions which means he can lose weight by eating the same as the other guy, or maintain the same weight but being allowed to eat more. This alone might not be a huge effect but it's yet another piece of the puzzle, adding up on other good habits which naturally happen when weight lifting.Second big reason is of aesthetic kind. If you lose a lot of weight quickly, depending on absolute amount and your personal genetics, it can result in a lot of loose skin which doesn't look very appealing. However, if you build muscle while losing weight, they will improve how your body looks, adding more definition to it, either negating any loose skin, or drastically minimizing this side effect. Instead of flabby arms, you will have impressive biceps etc. Sounds good, doesn't it? That's something far in the future but worth keeping in mind. Moving away from highly processed foods into more naturally prepared healthy food will also have positive effect on how your skin looks.
>>77001363Don't think so. Drink some kefir, once or twice a week. There's nothing better in the world for that purpose. Kefir is also a good source of protein while being low on calories.I know it's sour and many people don't like the flavor - I like adding some salt and decent amount of granulated garlic for better taste. Or some mix of red spices if I want an extra kick. Just add a teaspoon of those spices into the bottle, shake it up, drink away. Simple.If you feel fancier, do it the way my mom does, chop up cucumbers and red radish and pour kefir over them. Can add dill, spring onion, cilantro, bell pepper, beetroot, whatever you want/have available at hand. Various leaves work well too. Season with salt and pepper or curry powder or... you get the gist.
>>77001525Man I cant stomach all the probiotic foods. I just want a healthy intestine.
>>77001507I see, I'll be saving your posts, but for now I'll be walking only, however this is good motivation for going to the gym in the future.
>>77001585Happy to help. Good luck anon. You can make it, I believe in you.
