>>77042903Seen a lot of success from fasting + lifting + running. Down nearly a full suit size from December. Getting a bike on Friday to help with cross training/cardio once the weather clears up. WAGMI boyos

>>77042903To any ex-fat: how did you cope once you realized how long the process would actually take?I’m currently a landwhale, and even after weeks on a borderline starvation diet, I’ve barely made a dent in the total weight I need to lose. I am losing weight, very fast, but the sheer amount of time it’ll take to undo all the weight I gained when I was a fat piece of shit is depressing to think about. It drains all my motivation. I don’t want to go outside, I don’t want to talk to people, and I don’t want to do anything. I just feel disgusting, the amount of time i lost by being fat and the amount of time i will waste before i can be thin again makes me want to kill myself.
>>77043126The visual improvements are almost immediate and stack up quickly (obviously depending HOW fat you are)
>>77043126I just started taking reta and I'm having the time of my life
>supersets of ab wheel rollout and lateral raises>into incline rows and incline pressesI'm gonna be thrashed from the waist up tomorrow lmao
what are some good apps for tracking intermitent fasting?
>fasted myself down 10 lbs.I can go back to eating like I usually do tomorrow night but I don't know if I should continue being weight schizo. I have to lose another 20 just be be a healthy weight. I have to be back at my current weight or less in a couple months from now.
>>77043191>I have to lose another 20 just be be a healthy weightYou answered your own question, keep the cut going. It doesn't have to be fasting, a normal deficit works too.
>>77043184I like Zero, it has a very sleek UI and also tracks things like fasting streaks/activity/etc. It has a paid version but I don't see the value-add to it. >>77043191Just keep fasting to get down that 20. If you're doing ADF and eating at maintenance on your non-fasting days, and assuming you burn 2500kcals/day, 20lbs will take you ((20*3500)/2500)*2 = 28 fasts, or 56 days, so less than two months. You can make that a bit faster with cardio/eating below maintenance on refeed days.
>>77043191just do normal weight lossthe issue with fasting is you're going to feel like it's a monumental task every time you have to lose weight instead of just casually dropping 500 calories like its no problem
>>77043211Food addict take. Just don't eat for a day. It's not that hard.
>>77043216Eating disorder take. Normal people can lose weight with 2-3 meals per day and basic portion control. You needing to abstain from food entirely like an alcoholic is the addictive behavior, not cutting normally.
>>77043216If anything fasting is a food addict take. You're looking at food like it's cigarettes that you need to quit cold turkey, when it reality you need to be conditioning yourself to eat food more responsibly so you don't become so reliant on it for everything.But you do you I guess, see you back in here next year like the rest of the fasters.
>check my micros on my app>multiple 5000mg sodium dayshaha oops
I reached my goal weight in November, I actually want to lose a little more but I just can't seem to dig down below BMI 22.0 I just want visible abs for once in my life
>>77043220Normal people can't lose weight with 2-3 meals a day. If they could, we wouldn't be relying on big pharma to save us from ourselves. The choice is fasting or the jab.>>77043226It's not about quitting cold turkey, it's about being able to easily maximize calorie deficit. If you have additional fat, the only metabolic point (there are of course social and entertainment points) of eating is to get nutrients you can't store and to improve performance in the gym. The things most people fail on is they (a) don't clean up their act on refeed days, (b) relapse into old eating habits, and (c) don't incorporate fasting into their regular routine. (a) and (b) are closely related and any responsible faster should be paying close attention to refeeds for both nutrition and quality. (c) is just a helpful tool in general. If you do one 36 hour fast a week, you've given yourself a lot of wiggle room if you, say, have to take a bunch of hard-drinking clients out that week.
>>77043249>Normal people can't lose weight with 2-3 meals a day. If they could, we wouldn't be relying on big pharma to save us from ourselves. The choice is fasting or the jab.I'm down 40 pounds in 3 months through simple IIFYM calorie counting. Skill issue on your part. Thanks for admitting fasting is just as much a fatty crutch as Ozempic though.
>>77043249Most people don't actually only eat 2-3 meals a dayThey lie
>>77043260IIFYM and calorie counting are for the autistic and those without social lives. I have to go out with clients regularly, and hunching over to track every little thing would make me look like a windowlicker. But if you are touched by the tism brush, more power to you.
>>77043264>I'm too stupid to count and a raging alcoholic who can't be in public without a beer in both hands, everyone else but me is an addictlol fat
>>77043245gl, visible abs isnt until another -10 bmi points
i want to eat an entire frozen pizza, 2 bowls of potato chips, and a bottle of pepsi
>>77043267I've actually managed to stop drinking at most events--the rise in NA beer has really been the greatest boon for the collective health of American sales reps imaginable. And have you tried counting restaurant food? It's a miserable experience unless you're somewhere that's a chain serving you ultraprocessed slop. Calorie counting is a great idea for people with lots of time on their hands, but it doesn't work for the busy professional.
>>77043274I def had visible abs starting around the low 20s. They weren't super cut, but you could tell the separate muscles apart.
>>77043284Again, you just keep repeating over and over how important and smart you are and yet how you lack the ability to do basic math in your head or function without your Emotional Support Can. Why are we supposed to take you seriously as anything but a fat retard?
>>77043287Okay, let's look an example here. You order a Bison Bolognese at a restaurant. You have some idea of the ingredients (I cook it for myself regularly) but it's going to be very hard, if not impossible, to determine (a) what the actual amount of food you're getting served is (b) the relative amount of component parts, and (c) whether or not the chef has included high-calorie additives. You can guesstimate, sure, but if you just fast for a day you generate a calorie deficit that blows whatever you ate out of the water and you don't have to give a shit. Far easier. Objectively calorie counting can work, it's just not realistic for many/most people.
>>77043294Everything you say revolves around making your life easier as an addict who can't count or problem solve beyond using fasting as a hammer for all your inadequacies.
Today's score:>6.45km walked, 115m elevation>18/16/14/12 ab rollouts>14/12/12/12 lateral raises>12/11/10/10 bench presses>10/10/9/8 rows>140g protein, 1800kc>morning weight 176.5 (PR)
>>77043296I've done the calorie counting shit in the past. And again, it objectively works. But why would you take something that requires far more time and effort to end up with a equivalent-to-worse outcome than the objectively superior alternative? Let's say you fast one day a week. That's equivalent to a 350 kcal deficit every day. As long as you aren't stuffing yourself every day, that gives you the flexibility to have a fun night or two in the week without worrying about it and you won't gain weight. And you can spend the rest of your week thinking about more important things than what mfp says.
>>77043305>requires far more time and effortYou keep saying this and it really doesn't unless you're a particularly disadvantaged child. It's literally counting to 2000.>objectively superior alternativeWhatever helps you cope with your binge-purge eating disorder.
>>77043317Again, what do you do when you eat out? I can certainly count calories when I make something for myself, that's easy. But restaurant meals are going to be inaccurate, and even building in, say, 20+% to account for added butter and oil isn't really going to cut it if you aren't able to weigh the amounts. Your answer may simply be that you don't, but that's not a real option for many people. Fasting means I don't have to give a shit if the chef went overboard on an ingredient because it'll be subsumed by the calorie deficit from that.
>>77043281I don't like pepsi. They have too much sweetness in the syrup in their shit. I prefer diet pepsi.
after counting calories for a long enough time you pretty much know how much calories something is just by looking at it and how hungry you are later
no other thread on /fit/ has people who actually care about results so I'll ask here, is there a reason not to use kettlebells for an overhead triceps extension? You can get more range of motion at both the top and bottom and it feels like a really natural grip angle, as opposed to holding a dumbell by one of the bells which feels janky (I also don't like goblin squats for the same reason)
>>77043357Man just liftDon't overthink itJust like weight loss
>>77043359It feels good so I want to keep the modification but I want to make sure I don't do something retarded and snap a tendon or something

>>77043442fastards will talk like this and think they've made any progress with being mentally fatif food is still an emotional refuge than fasting is just bailing water, you haven't plugged the leak
>>77043449Yep>In conclusion, the present results suggest that fasting for weight control purposes is a more potent and consistent predictor of risk for future onset of binge eating and bulimic pathologyhttps://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2850570/
>>77042903If there's one baptism that saves, and it's getting washed with water, was Jesus saved when He was water baptized by John the Baptist?If Jesus' water baptism wasn't the same as the saving water baptism from after Pentecost, then was Jesus lying to the thief on the cross when He told him "To day shalt thou be with me in paradise"? (since the thief died before Pentecost)
>>77043474Jesus doesn't need saved because he's God and therefore infallible and perfectly moral by definition, if he had sinned it would retroactively become not a sin
>>77043474It doesn't matter. Each of the Gospels has, essentially, their own Christology that they're trying to portray. They were only collated later, and additional texts were added to try and reconcile the discrepancies. The whole book is just supposed to make you feel good and promote the message that you can't actually improve yourself. So just have the correct beliefs and wait to die, because heaven will be better.
>>77043449I'm not fasting to definitively lose weight. I fasted to meet a certain number on a scale for sportsball shit
>>77043126NGMI mindsetfix it>>77043236just drink water negrothat's what I do>>77043367if that was going to happen you would feel itjust be careful in the newly unlocked extra range of motion as the tissues aren't used to it
>>77043483Yeah, that's called losing weight.
Beef, rice and greek yogurt now makes up most of my diet since trying to simplify things. Easy to track, easier to shop, easier everything.
>>77043500make sure you're hitting your micros, zero veggies seems like a recipe for deficiencies and constipation
Weigh in tomorrow, not sure I am going to be down, but face is definitely starting to feel leaner, having a jawline again is kind of neat.
>>77043126Most I've ever had was 120kg, went down to 85 at my lightest. Took me a solid year to get it off. I know it's not much compared to those that were fatter and did weight loss longer, but here's my perspective.I feel like you're looking at the process wrong. At the start you'll always feel like the task is monumental and overwhelming, I know I felt this way. But the more you lose, even after a month or two, you notice things like clothes fitting you better, walking around doesn't exert you as much or at all, your lifts improve, you don't smell like shit when you sweat, et cetera. Small things like these really pile up and it becomes much less of a "it's gonna take forever until I become thin" and more of a "this weight loss thing feels pretty good, how long can I keep this going"
>>77043126first stop crash dietingweight loss should be easy after adjusting the first few weeks. then you just wait, like waiting for a game or movie to come out.
So when I do finally get down to whatever weight I decide to stop at, do I go into like, 10 pound bulk-cut cycles indefinitely?
>>77043521You slowly gain all the weight back cause once a fatty always a fatty
>>77043126Think of it like this. You have to accept that time Is already going to pass, regardless of what you do in it. Be it a day, a month, a year time is already accounted for. It never stops moving forward. Next year might as well be tomorrow for how much control we have over it. You will wake up one day and it will have passed. You're going to live that time anyways, no matter how much you want time to stand still, tomorrow comes. But it is our actions within it that we have control over. You can dedicate yourself in that time and improve, or you can look back when it comes to pass in regret. Because tomorrow is inevitable. Improvement is always a marathon. You take it day by day, step by step. You achieve small, take the little victories, every pound, every extra minute you can run. Then stack those small achievements towards your larger goal. It wont be done tomorrow, but in that inevitable year from now, you can look back at the mountain of change made by consistent effort. Make peace with the inevitability of time, and recognise your abilities to effect change within it.
>>77043501I used to eat broccoli but now feel like this bloats me. I might try looking at some other veggies to include, but broccoli used to be the easiest.

anyone a diet soda drinker? how safe is that stuff? i wouldnt mind drinking it to deal with sweet cravings instead of having something caloric but don't want to if it's gonna give me stomach cancer or something
>>77043608I don't drink any regular diet soda's but lately I've been drinking something called Zevia. It's different in the sense that it doesn't use any sugar, instead it uses stevia extract. It comes in a variety of flavors and is usually zero calories I think. Worth checking out.
>>77043608I drink Fuze and before that I drank Kirkland sugar free iced tea but I think they discontinued it
Guys, am I fucking dying?I'm a fat fuck who's been eating like shit for the past two years (been eating tons of fast food every couple days). I've noticed that usually after I ate a big meal I become more "aware" of the left side of my stomach About 1 or 2 weeks ago I started to occasionally feel pain from the lower left side of my stomach. The pain would come and go and it didn't hurt enough for it to be more than a mild annoyance but even still I'm worried this might be something more serious.

I had a break from dieting since mid november to mid january, and while I ate whatever I wanted for most of the time and gained a bunch of water weight, I must've at least internalized some good habits since after the past two weeks I'm already 2.4 kg lower than my weight in november. That's the least damage over the holiday season I have ever did to myself.
>>77043209I use zero but it changed its UI recently and it doesn't track the periods like it used to (with green bars of diferent lengths) Now it doesn't show it, you have to click on past days and it's just the number.
>>77043074i'm in the same boat. just knowing that you eat when you're angry or upset by itself will have an effect. you can try lifting when you're angry or doing some pullups. i broke my record of 9 pullups by doing 11 when i was very angry one day.i've never managed to do more than 9 after that bout of anger. ever.

>>77044961do what i do, cold turkeylimit yourself to one meal per day, no sort or form of candy allowed. first few weeks use zero sugar sodas to keep the sweet cravings away.

half of /fat/ feels like normal people who gained a bit too much not caring what they ate and can get back to a normal size with basic awareness and moderate exercise and the other half feels like a support group for recovering hard drug addicts and the two groups basically talk past each other
>>77045070also if you go to work leave your debit card at home, remove your banking apps from your phone
>>77045090>I still have 12g of sugar in my morning coffeeGo to Costco (or Walmart if you're poor idk) and get the biggest box you can of those little 1g splenda packets. Use those whenever you would usually use sugar.
>>77045090the one meal per day diet helps fix this for me, it forces you to focus on one meal per day, so no time for candy. Remember your ancestors lived on a diet of oats and milk, you can live with a healthy meal per day. also start cutting down with coffee to once every 2-3 days. you will feel miserable for a long while but the changes will be worth it and leave behind your debit card so you dont purchase things at work or after. Make it as frustrating as humanly possible to buy those treats
>>77045093>>77045108lol what is this schizo addict shit>make sure to leave everything you need to function in society at home so if something goes wrong you just fucking dieIf you're so addicted to food you can't be trusted with your own money, you belong in an assisted living facility

If you can't be trusted with your own money you also can't be trusted to dress yourself, drive a car, or hold a job in the first place. Learn to function at a basic level, or outsource it to drugs. Your advice is bad bordering on a threat to yourself and others.
>>77045092The last few posts really echo this sentiment
>>77045149i carry my debit card with me now, you can function without it. It helps to establish a bit of control. Its very helpfull in the beginning
Protein shake every day to hit protein goals ok? Or just use it on training days?
>>77045183first of all protein shakes are food. they are not a magic pill. this is important because you need protein on all days, not just training days. so secondly whatever works for you
>>77045183There's no reason not to, whey is just food. It's just dairy protein without the rest of the dairy. The only reason not to is if you're already hitting your protein goal or if it's weirdly expensive locally.
How often do you have perfect days? I think I got pretty close today. I also only drank water, and I worked out. breakfast (3 hours after waking up)>banana and orangelunch>chicken soup with kale and carrots>pan roasted (olive oil) turkey breast>green and red leaf lettuce salad (tsp of olive oil)>slice of rye bread (not that sliced/packaged crap)snack>50g of walnuts with a tsp of honey and orange zestdinner>cucumber salad (tsp of olive oil, pepper, salt, lemon juice, yogurt)
>>77045163My day so far. Its filling, but the timing of my meals due to my work hours makes me still hungry. Like, my first meal is at 4:45am and my last meal is at 7:15pm. Its tough, but its what I deal with.>Oats with protein powder and rasberries>Tuna Salad Sandwhich on multigrain>Shredded beef Pita with rice and salad
I’m feeling so defeated man. I feel like shit either doesn’t work for me or it works but I never stick to it. I have so much to lose.
>>77045193Sounds a lot tastier than my day, but I only had turkey breast, fruits and vegetables in my fridge. I need to buy more stuff, but most days I'm kind of lazy when it comes to cooking.
>>77045216there's only one path that works and that's the path of the humble calorie deficiteven ozempic basically just forces a calorie deficit, you can do the same thing yourself
>>77045225>the humble calorie deficitWhich is why I need to get better with my tracking again. When I was eating simple easy to track foods I was losing weight well, now, not tracking im simply maintaining, which is still a win knowing I can at to maintain, but I still want to be losing. I used to eat a lot more which is why I got fat in the first place so happy I am no longer in that mindset.
reminder that if you can't deal with temptation, you can just remove the temptation it's easier to avoid eating snacks when you don't have them in the houseit's easier to avoid buying snacks when grocery shopping if you're going grocery shopping once a week or lessit's easier to avoid overeating your food when you make your food just delicious enough to taste good when you're hungry but not tasty enough that you'd wanna eat more of it when you're full if you're the kinda guy with willpower low enough that you'd just order takeout spontaneously than I dunno, threaten to fight the delivery driver or something so you get banned from the apps... okay that one is a stretch also don't have cheat meals more than once a month or something, and don't dirty IIFYM OMAD - not that the calories won't be the same if you diet harder during the week and overeat on the weekend, or fast during a day and then have a huge meal - but this will just make you think about your upcoming meal constantly and will make it impossible to develop good habitsbeen there, done thatyou're a recovering addict, act like one
>>77045216>or it works but I never stick to it.It's definitely this and you know it. I've struggled with this too. I usually do well for a couple of days and on my fourth or fifth day I cave in and eat junk food. I feel like a lot of fatties claim "it doesn't work" because they do well for a couple of days or even a full week or two, but eventually give in to cravings and binge on 5000 calories of junk food. Even if it's just once a week, it's enough to ruin all progress. Then they quit claiming that dieting doesn't work for them because they remember all the clean days, but unfortunately even just one bad day can erase an entire week's worth of progress. This addiction truly is one of the hardest ones to permanently cure.
>>77045247trvke
>>77045092Yeah because I dont give a fuck about normies with some extra pounds on themI only care about fellow fats who have suffered with obesity their entire life

Saving up to get my own place. Any tips for frugal eating? So far my only lead is focusing on protein foods. All the cheap stuff is carb heavy though from what I can see.
>>77045312Are you sure food is where you should be cutting spending? What percentage of your spending is food right now, and what else do you spend money on? I'd cut things like subscriptions before eating cheap slop.
Long way to go, but I'm at the point now where people in my life have made positive comments on the difference.Most of them have been about me looking happier walking around the office.
How lean should I get before switching from The Big Initial Cut to bulk/cut cycling?
uh, how much cardio to burn 1000 calories? asking for a friend
>>77045335Maybe 3 hours of cardio
>>77045225Of all the diets I find calorie deficit the hardest way to diet. It’s easier for me to just not eat at all. >>77045248Of course I know that. But I also can’t help but feel like it shouldn’t be this hard. The level of discipline and fortitude to suffer through no sleep and feeling shitty and tired all the time feels absurd. I was a benzo addict when I was young. I also quit smoking and drinking coffee. None of that was as hard as this. Not even close.
>>77045335a lot, anything over 800-1000kc per day is probably unsustainable
>>77045347not eating at all is also a calorie deficit, just an extreme form that doesn't teach you how to eat sustainably
>>77045335Burning 1000kcal is difficult if not impossible unless you're an athlete or in good shape>3 - 3.5 hours of brisk walking>1.5 - 2 hours of non-stop running (8mph)>1 - 2 hours of non-stop jump rope (120+ skips per minute)Walking is your best bet if you're fat and out of shape, it just takes long.
>>77045348Cardio calories would be relative to weight as well, yeah?Like if a 500 pound guy walks 10k steps, he's probably burning way more than the 160 pound guy.
>>77045364Well yeah, you can compensate a bit by putting a weighted vest on, but correct. That's why a 500lb man who walks 10k steps per day won't be 500lb for long.
>>77045371Sorry my question was kind of not meant to be fully related to the first guy, I was just asking because I'm at 360ish right now and when I walk around the park with my buddy who is 150, our trackers have wildly different calories burned.
>>77045374Naturally, imagine your buddy walking around while shoulder pressing 200lb the whole way
>>77045319I don't have any subscriptions to any services. My current bills are all necessity (car, insurance, phone, rent, one CC)the only thing I can tighten up on now is food budget
>>77045247The moment I refused to eat the cinnamon rolls my family brought to the house was the moment I started losing weight.
>>77045389>the only thing I can tighten up on now is food budgetbuy bulk raw chicken and rice, add some seasoning so it doesn't taste awful; make sure at least around a third of your diet is a rotation of other shit so your macros/micros stay good enough and at least get a basic bitch multivitamin.
>>77045312meat + rice or potatoes
>>77045312Dont listen to retards saying meatChickpeas are the goat of low cost bang for your buck macros
>>77045375That makes sense.Is that why people keep telling me that my calves will be insane when I'm done?

>>77045352Well regular calorie counting deficit is by far the hardest way to diet for me.
>>77045494roasted root veg is tasty but prep and cleanup are a hassle and pre-prepped is a waste of money. more of an occasional treat than something to eat every day, especially when i can put away a whole pan in one sitting.raw and poached just gives me gas

>>77045247End of day OMAD is quite literally the biggest cut cheat possible. You can make a 1500 calorie meal that would stuff even the biggest fatass. Getting to 6 pm sucks, but who gives a fuck? I used that one meal as my reward for the day, and holy fuck if hunger isn’t the best spice then I don’t know what is. The flavor just explodes when you wait all day for it
>>77045904>You can make a 1500 calorie meal that would stuff even the biggest fatass.I eat 500g of chicken breast and 2kg of broccoli a day and Im still hungry as soon as I finish. It takes all my willpower to make it to the next day without stuffing my face.
>>77045918>2kg of broccoli a dayJesus christ
>>77045216it's easier when you eat more veggies and leans meats and fewer carbs. count your calories and you'll see that there aren't that many calories in a big pile of chicken. it's not that you can't do it, it's that you are eating the wrong things. when you're in a caloric deficit you need to feel full sometimes- and lean meats and veggies are the easiest way to feel full while still losing weight. >no candy>no soda>no fast foodeverything is easier if you follow these rules.

My migraine is gone. However the asprin and Tylenol I had to take gave me horrific diarrhea. Hopefully today is better.
I've been walking every morning a few miles in this cold weather (-5f to around 15f) and I've not only noticed it gives me energy after a walk? I feel charged/rejuvenated after it too, but my appetite is also way down, I'm not eating as much as I used too in general since I've started losing weight but it's sort of concerning, is this just a sign fat is being burned?No other symptoms whatsoever.
today's damage:>6.45km walked>four sets of Russian twists>four high rep sets of kettlebell swings>four sets of step-ups per side>1810kc, 150g protein
>>77046068>no candy>no soda>no fast foodNTA but you can eat these things if you're smart about it. For candy I like to eat freeze dried fruit. Only drink diet soda. And for fast food go to Chipotle or Cava.Eating the normal more unhealthy versions is still ok too if you limit it to smaller portions once or twice a month.

>>77045904Why do you have your meal in the evening rather than earlier in the day?
>>77046225It's called delayed gratification. It's the hallmark of binge eating disorder.
>>77046235Why not delay it until the morning? It will be much better for your sleep.
>>77046252I don't know what you didn't understand about the post. When you starve yourself all day, it gives you a giant meal to look forward to at the end of the day. If you eat it at the beginning of the day, all you're going to be thinking about is how you can't eat for the rest of the day. This is how eating disorders work.

>>77043074I used to eat as a way to deal with stress, which led to me ballooning. I know this is going to sound like a meme, but I sincerely believe that what allowed me to put an end to it was taking ashwagandha. It reduced by stress levels massively and allowed me to focus on other things. Your situation may not be the same, I have always been very prone to anxiety and ashwagandha helps exactly with that, but if you have to deal constantly with bad mood in one way or another and that causes you to overeat, you should probably look into fixing that first.
>>77045972Im the guy who buys entirely too much broccoli everywhere I go.

I had a couple questions hoping for some insight to help deal with the situation I'm in. For context I'm pretty big probably close to 300 but haven't weighed myself in a good while. I'd normally eat like one meal a day that was absolute shit and maybe have a snack or two then drink a huge amount of soda for the rest of my calories for years and years. Well for the last month with no exceptions I quit soda and things were going fine but around 5 or 6 days ago I started getting burning sensations in my feet later in the day, my dick would feel numb, my head would become hot or get ice cold sweats and my body would just pretty much be fucked and I'd just deal with it until I sleep hoping I'd feel better. I'm like 98% sure I've got sleep apnea along with these things I've been feeling that I can only assume are some sort of diabetes symptoms or some other health stuff.I was wondering does anyone have advice for what I could do to help minimize or get rid of these symptoms? Been toughing through it and pretty much what I've read online that could help it is exercise and warm baths. For a week I've been taking Vitamin D supplements daily and Fish Oil supps but only just realized I was taking the wrong amount. I also just added today ALA capsules, Vitamin B complex supps and Magnesium Glycinate in an effort to help.Feeling a bit better today but wondering does anyone have any advice for what I could do that could help me get some of this pain away so I can be in a better spot? Also I'm pretty much in poverty mode so wondering does anybody have any recommendations for cheap meals that are on the healthier side I could get?
>>77046480Get your ass to a doctor ASAP before they'll have to cut your legs off.If you want absolute poverty mode food then you cant go wrong with:>100g Porridge + 100ml Skimmed Milk for BF>100g Classic Rice + 200g / single Chicken Breast + 100g Veg/Broccoli for Lunch> 200g Sweet Potato + 100g / single Fish Fillet for Dinner> May need to supplement Protein Powder or increase meat portions if needed.Magnesium is before bed with a glass of warm water to help you fall asleep. Check if you dont need Vitamin K as well.But seriously, go to doctor now.
>>77046292>You cut out sweets long enough and baked sweet potato with some cinnamon on top eventually satisfies the urge as much as a piece of cake ever didYams have always been a dessert food. After a while of not eating sweets, food like cakes have become disgusting with how sweet they are. I now treat things like PB&Js, pancakes, and fruit snacks as desserts.

Apples are a great source of fiber if you're on a cut/recomp diet.I was taking about 190-200g of protein a day on low carb and my shits were literally rancid. Started supplementing fiber directly in my shakes and eating a couple apples a day instead of snacking. The quality of my shits has been utterly immaculate. I hardly wipe, but that has nothing to do with current circumstances.

Fatty ContestFootOnToiletTank309lbOn eating days I'm having around 150g protein and I feel fine. Need to hydrate more consistently on fasting days during my rolling 48s, headaches are an issue. I made some diy electrolyte powder last night in bulk, 1000mg sodium and some potassium and magnesium too per 4g. It's surprisingly not that salty, I used 2/3 sea salt for sodium chloride and 1/3 trisodium citrate dihydrate which is why, I suppose. Going to start with 12g of it a day which is 3000mg sodium, hopefully it'll be okay.Been walking for now, but I want to get started on resistance training today.

My scale seems to be broken, but if it's not, then I've lost ~30lbs or so. It really isn't so bad after the first week as long as you stay properly hydrated.
>>77047019that backwards 力 on his chest looks retarded lol
>>77047311I do still suffer from the occasional sweets craving, especially chocolates but I worked in a solution. I eat a serving of greek yogurt with 2 scoops of chocolate protein powder mixed in, preferably left overnight to fully hydrate and re-thicken. It tastes good, its 350-400 calories depending on what yogurt I use but it has excellent macros (70 grams of protein with a good yogurt) keeps me fuller for longer and is easy to fit into my diet at breakfast. I also utilize rice cakes for snacks sometimes, at 60 calories a pop one after dinner satisfies my ravenous desire for crunchy shit.
>>77046736Bro you've been plateauing since fucking July, its clear whatever youre doing isnt working. You're not losing any weight. Eat less and get your head in the damn game.
>>77047491Just replace chocolate with 80-90% dark chocolate.You won't want to eat an entire block of it, and it doesn't make you feel sick afterwards.
>>77047444If you have a TDEE of 2000 you would expect to lose about 4lb/week of water fasting, or 120lb over the space of a month. And that's ignoring the fact that you would probably be dead without medical intervention because of electrolyte and vitamin deficiencies. You're lying.
>>77047597>120lbs in the space of a month just for water fastingwhat the fuck am i reading, are you really calling someone else a liar because you're retarded lmao?
>>77047618You lose roughly 500g or 1lb per week per 500cal deficit. Do the maths, retard.
>>77047624literally no one is going to lose 120lbs in a month doing a water fast. you actually are retarded. please look online at literally anyone that actually has done a water fast. you really are out here calling others liars because you're stupid lmao
>>77047597>>77047624EVEN THEN, how the FUCK does 4lb/week add up to 120lbs in a month? what the fuck are you smoking?
>>77047637>>77047642Yeah my bad niggers, I was saying his weight loss was higher than expected, not lower. I typo'd the zero, I meant 12lb.My point is that for him to lose 30lb in a month his TDEE would be something like 3500-4000, which is unlikely unless his "walks" are literally 24/7.
>>77047668with water weight and being obese, you can easily do 30lbs with extended fasting in a monthsomeone in the other thread literally posted a 30lb weight loss for jan. doing some fasting and eating, and given the sharp decline in the first week compared to the rest, it's easy to assume water weight was lost with it. there's much more to the body than just that, please read more on this stuff. it's also why people gain weight faster and puff up more after a fast, the water is retained.
What would happen if I just took all my nutrients through vitamins and supplements instead of food?
>>77048059you would probably have to study biochemistry and make sure your body is actually absorbing what you're taking, and in the right amounts
>>77048059Generally your don't assimilate supplements as well as you do real food, they're good for filling in gaps but not really a replacement for real food in the long term. You'll end up pissing out most of them while still be deficient if you don't eat anything real.
>>77048059You would probably end up looking like Bryan Johnson.He eats a lot of regular food too though, and some of his recipes are unironically good.
>>77048059
>>77048164I ironically both eat more real food than him and take more supplements than him; his protocol isn't quite full retard, but I don't suffer from being a victim-weight walled twink with Chud lines.
>>77048313Doesn't he take like 150 pills a day?
I’m never masturbating again
>>77048325No, I think you're confusing him with me; his protocol is just a few dozen pills, pretty minimalist now...>blueprint.bryanjohnson.com/blogs/news/bryan-johnsons-protocol
I walked for an hour today across three walks despite really shitty weather. Pretty huge cause as a fatfuck I'd always just spend 95+% of the day sitting. Dedicating to doing an hour or more a day and working in more stuff, the future is looking brighter.
I'm masturbating again
