Day 27/60 of water fast
My work shirts are loose and my pants keep falling. Almost one month of this, almost half way done!

I started smoking a cigar every few days and I've lost 10lbs so far this month. Is this a cheat code or am I retarded?

>>77039498
Unironically both.

>>77039498
I remember /fa/'s version of /fat/ would recommend nicotine. I've stopped because I can't control myself with it and it kills my cardio.

forgive me /fat/ for i have sinned.
i downed 5,500kcals today.
i will do better in the future.

>>77039562
why and how did you eat that much

>>77039576
they brought a bunch of chips and chocolate and i was feeling down.

ab exercises suck should I get an ab roller

>>77039584
it's nice but have you tried deadbugs?
of course, a couple of reps with an ab roller are enough while deadbugs require 20-60 seconds depending on how advanced you are and if you use dumbbells or not.

>>77039584
Ab rollers are even worse, especially if you're fat and lack upper body strength
Not that they aren't worth it but you're better off with crunches and situps and twists

+ Another kilogram of weight gone, daily walks & daily gym is working
-Acute lower back pain when doing deadlifts today on my 3rd set, had to heavily deload for the remainder of that set + remaining sets after
+ managed to do the remainder of the program just fine
- flexibility is lot noticeably worse than usual when bending down

Thank God I won't have any other deadlifts until next week, plenty of time for body to hopefully recover

>>77039616
>-Acute lower back pain when doing deadlifts
can you feel your glutes if you squeeze them?
can you even squeeze them?
drop the deadlifts and focus on glute bridges until you can feel your glutes burning while squeezing them doing glute bridges.

>>77039626
Squeezing glutes is easy and doesn't hurt at all, my lower back doesn't actively hurt, it just feels noticeably stiffer than usual when reaching/sitting down or raising up from chair/bed. It's going to be fine after few days, though I'll still deload and do the next weeks DL's with lighter weights to be safe

if you squeeze your glutes as hard as you can for as long as you can, can you feel them burn and eventually start hurting so much that you have to release the squeeze?
if not, that's an issue.

How many 36 hour fasts per week is too many? Just started last week, I'm doing 2-3.

>>77039658
do whatever works for you
i couldn't fast at all.

For those lifting while losing weight and who were previously untrained.
How much have your lifts progressed? EG where did your bench press start and where is it now?

>>77039652
>if you squeeze your glutes as hard as you can for as long as you can, can you feel them burn and eventually start hurting so much that you have to release the squeeze?
If I squeeze them while doing doing glute bridges they eventually get fatigued, but it's not something that I would say hurts, feels more like standard fatigue
>wtf does this mean?
Lower back notifying that things aren't 100% normal atm since bending/reaching down takes more effort than usual and stretches like reaching down for my toes when standing have to be done lot slower, though stuff like that is still doable

>>77039667
I don't barbell bench much since I never have a spotter, I mostly just stick with machines and dumbbells, but my progress has pretty much double across the board since starting a few months ago. Started curling 15lb dumbbells, now I'm on 30s. Started pressing 25lb dumbbells now I'm on 50lbs.
I remember when I started I couldn't even do a pushup without being on my knees, now I can do 20 of them. Went from a 30 second plank to a 2 minute plank. Among other things.

My progress was a little bit slower than normal but I start at 3 sets of 8 and add on two reps every week, then two weeks of 3x12, after which I'll go up in weight and start over at 3x8.

I'm still a fatty but I can notice some definition popping up in less fat dense zones. I can especially feel it, I can't stop touching my arms now. Fucking love squeezing my biceps, it gets me motivated.

>>77039684
>they eventually get fatigued
what does this fatigue feel like?
a proper mind muscle connection will cause the muscle to literally hurt if squeezed hard enough.
try flexing your chest or your biceps or triceps as hard as you can.
i have shitty mind muscle connection with my biceps so they aren't painful but squeezing triceps or chest feels painful pretty fast.

I need something that's easy but filling to eat after work, any recs? I've been having ham and cheese on rice cakes but I figure that much salted ham probably isn't good for me

Amazing job, but remember that you need to slowly acclimate your digestive system back to eating normal food by eating broth for several days after ending your fast. I don't remember the exact numbers on the top of my head, but IIRC it was something like 1 day of broth only per 3-4 days spent on fasting after 72h in row. You should look those up & get ready in advance to avoid fucking over your system when you do end your fast.

Keep it up king, the biggest benefits of long water fasts are reduction of scar tissue and your appetite getting lot smaller than it used to be

can you actually live on nothing but water if you're a fatty?

>>77039799
Yes and no. If you want to try water fasting down to a healthy weight you should
1. Have a doctor involved to monitor your progress
2. Take multivitamins and whatever other supplements the Doc tells you to
3. Drink green tea

>178
Cool I guess
When do I stop hating myself?

>>77039805
According to my doctor my BMI is 29% which just seems ludicrous. I'm 5'11 200lbs, definitely chubby but no one would describe me as "fat" besides someone in the ED community maybe. I typically eat 1 meal a day and 1-2 snacks. Usually not the healthiest stuff but my portions are still under control and most days my calories are in range. I just can't get and stay below 200. Starting to think I'm gonna be eating white rice, avocado, and chicken for every meal with GOWAD or something idk what to do.

>>77039799
No. At the minimum you need to supplement potassium and sodium periodically.

the funniest part of having lost a bunch of weight is angry permafats telling you what you did doesn't work and is impossible

>>77039817
You are just retarded, it's okay I was like this once too. Assuming you're actually trying to lose weight with your calorie intake, you're miscalculating the actual calories your meals are providing, underestimating your snacking, not counting certain foods or beverages (sauces, dips, soda, sugar or cream in coffee, etc). I heavily recommend you watch an episode or two of Secret Eaters on youtube, it actually does a pretty good job of demonstrating how people fuck up calorie tracking.

If you have all of that in order, you mentioned that "most days" your calories are in range. Well, if your TDEE is 2000 calories every day, you match it, but then on one day out of the week you eat 4000, guess what, you're going to gain weight over time. You should really be tracking calories not only daily but checking your total over the period of a week to see if you're net gaining or losing.

Everyone is fat currently so of course no one is going to call you fat. They're also fat lmao

I'm really enjoying eating the same shit every day(with like minor variations like different seasoning for my chicken and veggies or using olive oil instead of butter).
I think once my month on this diet is up, I will try a sandwich diet for like a week for fun. I remembered they make high protein cheese now so it should work.
>3 kaiser rolls for 470 kcal 15g (shitty)protein
>300g of lean ham for 300kcal, 57g protein
>150g of "protein" cheese 355kcal 51g protein
That's a base total of 1125 kcal which leaves me like 225-250 kcal for some spread for the bread or condiments to hit my calorie goal.

>>77039884
Thank you, I am indeed retarded.
>>77039883
Thanks.

I am a very weak-willed person with no discipline which is why I have had so many misfired attempts at getting healthy. I have no job right now, which is the only reason I think I can concentrate this hard on making patterns of behavior.
This January I spent it trying to build up routines of working out. Over a couple weeks, I built up to a schedule of running one day and then lifting on the other.
I did this as a first step, because I hate working out and don't have the discipline to tackle multiple things in a row. I've gotten to the point where I don't hate it and find it more akin to taking out the trash.
For February I was thinking of either adding another jog to the routine to add in each day to add to calories expended or start working on a macro diet of decreasing calorie intake. I don't know which one would take precidense if I want to start building towards a healthy body by the time summer is over (when I am going to be employed and plan on having less focus on these things).
Which one should I focus on for a my mind economy, adding more exercise to my daily schedule or dieting?

I am 220lbs ish and 5'10 ish.

>>77039937
you cant outwork a bad diet. fixing the food intake takes precedence always. and unlike a jog it doesnt take up any extra time
>but what if
fixing the food intake takes precedence ALWAYS

>can't stand broccoli and most spinach
are asparagus and green beans enough? my mom cooked veggies like shit as a kid and it just put me off most of them forever. if I smell boiled broccoli I'll literally puke. I've managed to eat it once in my adult life at a wedding in the same bite as a piece of steak and it was tolerable. Can't even conceive the idea of eating a canned vegetable.

>>77039937
You're overthinking things and you're going to wind up confused, frustrated and give up.

>>77040046
Depends.
If they're doing it properly and eating protein and fiber and exercising, I see it more as a tool to help overcome a hurdle that chronic obesity has inflicted on their brain.
If they're just using it so they don't eat at all and just letting weight melt off with no effort, then yes.

are pickles cheating?

Thank you. I focused first on working out for January because I know the adjustment for diet will take a longer time for me to implement and so if I started with diet I would take a longer time to also implement exercise and expend more calories daily. Now I'll focus on creating a deficit and making sure I get my macros right after hitting the sticky.

Duh. I am a very weak willed person who only does things based on deadlines and routines. So that's what I'm doing. If I was a smart, more disciplined person, I wouldn't have been fat in the first place. So, I'm working with what I got: fat and retardation.

That sounds smart. I was going to waterfast three days before hand to reset my appetite, by the time the marker day came.

I've noticed a trend with my body as I've been losing weight.
If I was burping a lot the day before, my weight will be lower on the scale the next day.
No idea what's going on there.

Only if you're cheating on yourself. If it helps you get to your goals and you can ultimately stay fit and healthy, that's great. But this is easier said than done. The thing is, you'll have to get off of the meds eventually, and at that point you are in a mental battle against yourself that you put off until the very end instead of fighting that battle as you're losing weight and making lifestyle changes from start to finish. A lot of people lose this battle and regain their weight rapidly. It's not just about knowing the lifestyle changes and putting them into action, but it's also about learning to deal with the food noise and various food related debuffs that you'll deal with once again once you're off GLP-1s.

Boiling broccoli is completely fine, steaming is an unnecessary hassle. Just don't boil it for too long, you want it to stay a bit crunchy.
Roasting is nice, but if I'm roasting it then I'll personally go for brussels sprouts because broccoli has a tendency to just turn into crispy powder.

>>77040654
i hope thats an exaggeration,

https://youtu.be/iznQpk9GLaA

>>77040661
You can roast brussel sprouts and broccoli, you just have to have the brussel sprouts in for 10-15 minutes then add the brocci when you stir

Steaming isn't a hassle if you have a dishwasher safe steamer

>>77040662
I wish it was. Regardless, WAGMI

>>77040661
Blanched broccoli is good. No fuss, keeps the color nice

How do you guys wash your broccoli?

>>77040482
Just pop it.

>>77040678
With a tap.

But here's the real life hack - I usually just eat frozen broccoli (for the 200g in my lunches). It's cheaper most of the year, and is more nutritious because broccoli releases some kind of substance for the 30-45 minutes after you cut it. Since the frozen stuff is pre-cut, it already has that without needing to rest.
I save the fresh broccoli for when I cook for other people.

>>77040680
It's big and would be catastrophic if it got infected so I'm avoiding that as long as I can

>>77040692
Alright. I used to get plisters all the time in boy scouts and we'd either pop them on the trail or put moleskin around it.

>>77040692
If you don't want to pop it, try a hydrocolloid bandage. I personally haven't had much success with them.
I usually just keep running with my blisters if they're small, because I get 1 or 2 every long run. But if they start getting bigger, I lance them with a sterilised needle, put a drop of Betadine on the hole and then cover them with rigid sports tape. Usually that happens on the arch of my foot, because it's caused by the skin stretching/shearing rather than friction.

>>77039904
Yeah thats not correct

>>77040154
I went from 250 to around 135 in a year. I got zero loose skin, however, I did get some stretch marks on my inner thighs that dissipated over the years and are no longer visible. I know this doesn't directly answer your question, but many people think that loose skin is inevitable, especially with rapid weight loss, so I just wanted to put my experience out there to let you know that it's not absolutely inevitable.

>>77040512
I regularly eat 1300+ for breakfast. Then again I reached my goal years ago and I need the extra calories to support my activity level. I find that front loading my calories rather than doing something like having a big dinner actually just makes me feel better.

Close family member got sick, and I had a scare off my own, so I came to the realization that my own health is solely in my own hands.

>>77040873
so i don't experience disgust whenever i glance at my reflection.

I feel like I lucked out by being able to sleep better when I'm on deficit. I hear a lot of people have trouble sleeping when they're cutting, for me it's the opposite. Even when I was fasting I would just black out for 11 hours no problem, and now with a regular deficit I wake up way less than when I'm eating normally.

>>77040873
I'm not. I reached my goal ages ago. I just come here to encourage other people and to give advice if it's solicited.

>>77040873

My body feels like a cage. I cannot do what I want to and I feel like that's going to fuck with my mental health as well soon. I already hate what I see in the mirror and when I look at my father I can see what is possible, we are kinda build the same, bone-wise, and he is fit. I am just the fat son.

I also see health problems through inactivity and shitty food in my family, friends, workplace and it's starting not only to worry but also disgust me.

(Currently I am 27 years old, 5'11 with 260lbs)

Help a fat fucker out.
The treadmill I got is too short and thin for my stride. I can still use it but the little mince I have to do makes my back hurt after a while.

>>77039498
Yeah I plan to eat bone broth for 2-3 days, followed by some soft boiled eggs for brekky the next day and a soup and salad for dinner the next ~3 days after, then start incorporating more solid foods/protein.

>>77040642
Willpower past the first week (imo the hardest week as well) and the rest just becomes "might as well continue". Take electrolytes and whatever other supplements you may need. Fasting is more enjoyable/easier if you get some flavor(less) electrolye mix for your water instead of drinking nasty snake juice. Sparkling water, coffee, and tea are your friends. That's about it I guess.

Okay bros... I accidently ate 3750 kcal yesterday. This is almost double my goal calories for the day. How retarded would it be to just fast today? Will I lose any muscle if I dont eat today and still work out?

if you can't fast, just eat at your normal deficit and carry on as if nothing happened.
always do what works for you to stay consistent.
some people feel punishment makes them more consistent while others do not.
expirment to know what works for you.

>>77041753
>Bro trust me

>>77041761
not him but protein is very satiating and the body expends energy to digest it so the real calorie intake is lower so it makes sense to maximize protein to eat less calories in total.
the simple test is eating veggie salads exclusively for a couple of days and keeping an eye on hunger.
you will never ever feel satiated eating only veggie salads. you will feel full to bursting but will still super fucking hungry.
now try eating only proteins exclusively for a couple of days and see what happens to hunger.

>>77041796
Go for the 500 calorie deficit. A huge part of losing weight is learning sustainable healthy habits. So by doing this you're things like learning portion control, and better recipes. Remember that once you lose the weight you need to keep it off for your entire life.

>>77041962
How much protein are you getting? You should be aiming for 1g per lean body mass, otherwise you risk losing it while losing weight, especially if you aren't actively lifting.

>>77041962
unless you fasted and trained extra hard it was water weight

>>77041979
I probably averaged 100g brotein a day. If I keep playing basketball and increase brotein to 150, any chance I get my muscles back, or I will have to lift for that?

Also, a BIA said I have 23% BF while the dexas said I had 35% and now 37% BF.

Ok, I think I'll go with the 500 calorie deficit plus walking. I did get down to 150 last year and was able to maintain(stayed in the 150-160 range) from February to October but started stress eating after losing my job and other stuff in November and December and got up to 170.

What kind of resistance training can you do at home to preserve or even build lean body mass? I'm eating 1g/lb of LBM already.

I have some girly dumbbells but that's about it.

>>77041984
Only way to build muscle is to work it and damage it so that it comes back bigger and strong (with the help of protein), which usually means lifting heavy things to failure. You probably build some good leg muscles doing basketball but I can't imagine you'll build that much upper body muscle.

I have a fold up bench and a pair of adjustable dumbbells that go up to 55lbs each that I can easily slide under my bed to save space. That's really all you need to get in shape and do a variety of full body workouts, gym equipment just gives you a lot more variety.

You might be able to get more mileage out of your light dumbbells by aiming for higher rep workouts, but if possible I'd try to get heavier weights or adjustable dumbbell(s). A bench is a plus but you can still do a lot just standing or using the floor. Your chest will be the thing to suffer the most without a bench.

Keep cutting your calories and you're winning, learning to eat 2000 calories a day until you're at maintenance is infinitely better in the long run than jabbing yourself while learning nothing for half the time then putting it all back on again becuase you never actually learnt self control.

On Saturdays I'll treat myself to a toasted egg ham a cheese sandwich for breakfast instead of the greek yogurt though which bumps up the calories a bit, but it's my treat for making it through the work week.
