Day 4 of ketosis: my thoughts are foggy, I took a shit and it felt like daggers, and I'm angry for no reason

>>77052832Successfully completed couch to 5k with my weight being in the upper 230s. Wondering why I'm not improving any more, or losing any weight. Early Jan I weighed myself and I was 240lbs. Since then I started tracking my calories and eating at a 1000 daily deficit. So far I'm 225lbs, running has gotten easier. My ultimate goal would be to get down to 160lbs.
>>77052832Got married, got off birth control, got out of parent house, got stressful low paying job, no focus on self or self control, no desire to learn better cooking and meal prep, no desire to improve self, always though I’d off myself early enough not to see consequences.Had kid. Changed priorities. Wanted to live longer to see kid grow up. Decided kid will grow into me if I don’t change. Got better job, more money. Learning cooking. Learning meal prep. Learning having habits. Learning it’s ok to rely on others and ask for help. Life is improving. BrapHog

>>77052832was alwsys fat, lost all the weight with /fit/s help but traitorous scum formerly chucked as "friends" made me suicidally depressed which is kind of a buzz kill for working out so I regained all the weight, subsequently fatfortunately I'm built different and overcame it so now we're on the way back down

>>77052832>Why are you getting slim?Tired of feeling like shit all the time, lost 35kg since I started dieting as my New Year's resolution last year. Fucked up often, and it's been slow, but it's otherwise been simple as just counting calories and eating less shit.GF's sister wanted to lose weight, so I showed her Loseit and how I tracked everything I ate even when I had a bad day and gave in to cravings or had a cheat day for holidays/birthdays/vacations. Now she's moaning that it's not working when she's just eyeballing whatever she's had, not logging it, and then bitching that dieting doesn't work and that she should get Ozempic instead
>>77052832I was always fat. Some of it was my family being absolutely retarded about food(like, when I didn't want to clean my plate I could leave the meat, but I HAD to eat all the potatoes, so obviously I ate everything) but some of it was me being a fat little shit with a sweet tooth who basically independently invented sweet tea(the super sugary southern US kind, and I'm from Europe). I liked reading as a kid, and I liked having something sweet when I read. We weren't rich, and there weren't like, sweets or snacks or soda around most of the time - but what was always there, was tea, lemons, and sugar. So I'd make a giant 1.5 liter pot of tea, dump 6 heaping tablespoons of sugar into it, and add some lemon to taste. I'd drink at least one of those a day, often two. By the time I was in middle school I was over 100kg, by the time I was in high school I was over 130kg. Somehow I never got full-blown diabetes.

>>77052832the jews. in order to remind them.
>>77052832Parents, primarily my mom, were feeding me whole big macs (plural) when I was like 8. They aren't even overweight themselves, it was a lot of unintentional child abuse and a lot of neglect. I ended up getting a bit of a unhealthy relationship with yummy food from that. I went from overweight and borderline obese living with them until my early 20s. It wasn't as bad yet because my mom would still cook fairly healthy meals most days of the week, though the portions were still fucked up. Then I moved out and got even fatter because I had the freedom to eat whatever I want, wherever I want, whenever I want. By itself it wasn't that damning, I often cooked lean and vegetable heavy meals for myself because I liked it and felt like it was a sustainable lifestyle. But when I had rough periods in my life, my fatass brain would come out and I'd dine out or order delivery, often times $25+ because ubereats liked putting a $25 minimum order limit on their % discount promotion codes, which was awful because I had no one to share food with.Losing weight because I want to be healthier and to feel better piloting my meat suit. I don't binge eat when I feel down anymore, I just work out. But I know I'll still enjoy restaurant food even when I'm at a healthy weight, so my realistic expectation is to put a lot of effort to practicing healthy moderation on my journey to that point, and especially when I reach that point.

>>77052832I said why I got fat in the last thread (parents, then weight loss hard stall followed by rebound)Why slim down? I've started feeling really terrible, knees were hurting, feet were hurting, constant headaches, clothes weren't fitting, out of breath relatively quickly even from walking, just constant discomfort. I've lost enough weight now where a lot of those problems have alleviated, particularly the headaches, and I want to see how much better things get if I lose more.Aside from that, I have a desire all of a sudden where I want to do acrobatics and calisthenics and I can't do any of the cool things in those activities at the weight I'm at. I'm short enough where those could potentially be a lot of fun.Also it's made me too ugly. That too.

So the way I'm trying to view it in my mind is that I'm indebted about $2.50 of effort at the gym at the very least to my parents every day now until March. I poured the rest of my beer down the sink and threw the box of pizza away. I'm gonna try to eat lean and clean this month with a fat burn lifting program My running form is like a teletubby. And then I'm winded after a few minutes of running. They let me try out the equipment on my first day like holy shit do I suck as a creature I've forgotten basically everything I studied 4 years to learn, I have no friends from highschool or college anymore in contact and I've turned into the worst aspects of my mom and dad that I thought would never happen to me.

>>77052832>why did you get fatMy parents were fat (now on Ozempic and slimmed out) and would freak out if I wasted food. Now I get stressed if I see food going to waste. I find it very hard not to finish a plate even if I didn't like the food or feel full. Whenever there is leftover food in the house that's about to be trashed, I have to resist the urge to eat it so that it's "not wasted.">why are you getting slimI hate my body so much that I actively stop myself from doing things I want to do because I don't want to be seen/recorded.

>>77053664I have no desire to do that I think I'd get sick...I guess that means dieting workedm
>>77053661>Whenever there is leftover food in the house that's about to be trashed, I have to resist the urge to eat it so that it's "not wasted."I still do this but it's because of childhood food scarcity when the best and sometimes only thing to eat was leftovers dad forgot about
>>77053658>2400 calories >just to maintainyou're a big guy. my maintenance is 1850-1950 depending if my fat% is 30 or 35. can't tell for sure.
>>77053687I'm including my new higher activity level in the TDEE calc because I have no intention of stopping walking every day or lifting 5x a week, the sedentary number would be lower>but OP says to always use sedentary!That's good advice for losing weight and I'll go back to that when I go back to the cut

But I do not even want to ask her to entertain the idea until I can truly show her that I have worked on the problems I have.As of this morning, I am down 60 pounds. I have a seriously long way to go, but that is my main motivating factor. I was originally aiming for 220lbs because that was what I had weighed before I started eating my feelings, but after another anon here made a good point, I have changed my goal to 185.I had shown my face months ago when I first started, started hiding it because I was afraid of being recognized, but I've decided not to hide it anymore.

>>77053704I'm doing okay most days. My body is finally used to not getting to have 3000+ calories every day and I've found that I don't have idle snacks anymore. I knew I was past one of my biggest issues when I realized that I had not ordered a whole pizza for watching my shows on Sunday night in 3 months.Some days are harder though, I sometimes look in the mirror and feel contempt at myself for letting it get this bad and those days are when I worry I'll break and gorge.I haven't yet, though.
>>77053711I've been dieting ~the same time period as you (beginning of November) and I'm the anon doing a maintenance week. Binging and eating days of food at once will set you back, but maintenance only delays progress a bit. But you started a lot heavier than me so maybe you can cut longer.
>>77053723I have been in a deficit for the entire time. It hasn't been a consistent number; some days its as high as 1500 while others its only 500. I think I should probably take a maintenance week soon.
3150 calories today.Never gonna get those abs
>>77053732One day doesnt ruin it brother give yourself grace and be patient with yourself but also learn from your mistakes.
>>77052841Just water fast (take salts and multivitamin), slowly getting into ketosis stinks. I'd recommend high protein + working out instead, because rapid weight loss wrecks the skin.>>77053732Don't eat the next day. Bam, 1575 per day.
Thanks anons.I'll do better tomorrow.
Since the end of December I 've been trying to improve my diet. So far I have abandoned all carbonated drinks except club soda, I consume significantly less sugar, I eat more fruits with greek yogurt and I have replaced white bread with rye bread. I know that bread has too many carbs but it is so central to my eating habits that I struggle to completely cut it off. So far I managed to remove some submental fat. I had 2 layers and now I have 1. My stomach has also deflated slightly but I have 15 kg to go. Those following days I will start going to the gym so I can speed up the weight loss. There is however one more issue that I struggle with. I view food as emotional support. A lot of times I eat to cope with stress, anxiety and sadness and I end up overeating.
How do I know if I made it and just have a shitload of loose skin instead of still having more weight to lose
5'10 male i made it to 65 kgShould i keep cutting or start bulking, i still have noticeable lovehandles and a small belly, so basically skinnyfat leaning towards skinny

Fatty ContestFatWicker265.1
>>77053792recomp forver. eat at TDEE, maximize protein and lift hard. forget the bulk-cut cycle. that's for elite lifters and frauders not normal people.
>>77053813So the bottom line is i definitely shouldnt keep cutting? I was hoping the bit of belly and lovehandles would go away at 60kg, so 5 more kilos
>>77053828What body fat do you think you are at? Most likely you just look flabby because you have no muscle youre better served just to start working out as soon as possible. Musculature is what makes you look good, being skinny is better than fat but you will still ultimately look bad unless you put on muscle.
>>77053837Ok ill get a dexa scan and ask again thank u
>>77053828>i definitely shouldnt keep cutting?the key point is to start lifting because the skinnyfat solution is to lift until one has decent amount of muscle before cutting again. if he needed the cut or wanted to get rid of fat faster.your BMI is pretty low so if you still have a belly or love handles, you're a skinnyfat. you can technically go twink mode and just starve yourself until you lose all the fat. you'll end up as a skelly. and it will be really hard.
>>77053732don't think i could eat that much if i tried anymore, alhamdulillah
>my calculated BMR is 1400kcals>i find it extremely hard to stay under 1300kcals for more than a couple of days
It would be cool to cheat to try a mukbang one of these days, maybe a huge sushi platter, yummy!A cheat meal once in a few months couldn't hurt.

>>77053898Either OMAD or ADF is your friend here. Combine that with >>77053911 (or better yet begin rooning) and you'll have an easier time than trying to hit your BMR normally. Also lifting will help increase your BMR.
>>77053898Alternate day fasting will probably be the only thing that will work for you. Sorry, women get a huge calorie intake debuff and I don't envy you at all.
what ever happened to miku, /fat/? you have all betrayed miku, who happens to be my waifu
>>77053926Running is better calories per minute but is higher impact and much higher fatigue, I can easily walk 10k per day but would quickly burn out trying to run a 5k every day.
>>77053955You're clearly untrained. 5k per day (not counting 1-2 rest days) is pretty easy to get to. Get on a program (I like Runna for half/full marathons, but I'm not sure it would be good for a true beginner like yourself) and you'll be doing 4-5 miles as your easy runs in no time.
>>77053964>not counting rest daysNot a problem when you walkmaxxIf you're training to run then by all means train to run, but walking is objectively the lowest impact, most sustainable exercise (because swimming requires a pool, otherwise walking is a close second)
Is there any truth to the claims losing weight too fast is more likely to lead to loose skin? I can probably lose 15 lbs a month.
>>77053985>I can probably lose 15 lbs a month.are u 400+ lbs?
>>77053985Read the weight loss side effects part of the sticky
>>77053985>more likelyyeah sure. especially if you're no longer in your 20s. of course it also depends where you're starting and where you're going.

>>77054010265 and I would probably stop around 220 anyway, I would just strongly prefer to minimize loose skin. If it's in fact "more likely" then I will probably just do one or two very low days followed by normal days surrounding workouts.
Hey /fat/bros, I’m finally committing to working on my body since I’d like to lost at least 15-20 in the next six or so months (Male, 5’9”, <180 lbs). So far it’s just bench presses and the treadmill at home since I don’t have a gym membership, and I’m feeling pretty good about it so far. I’m going to roll with this for a good bit, but is there anything additional I could realistically start doing at home, especially centered around minimizing the size of my breasts? They’re honestly what bothers me more than the stomach fast, so I want to do my best to especially work on those, so any advice would be appreciated.

>>77054053Shedding 20 pounds in a few months isnt bad, make sure you dial in your diet and calories/macros. Follow the guide in the sticky. You wont be able to outlift a bad diet. As far as titty size goes you cant spot reduce fat if thats what your asking, fat kind of reduces pretty evenly around the body as its lost. My best advice is work on your pecs to build some actual muscle so your chest isnt as soft and lose the extra fat, the man titties will dissappear in time. And again, weight loss is all about the diet, especially if your lifting and trying to get in shape while your in a deficit. Figure out your TDEE, figure out your deficit to fit your goals, eat for your macros and you'll be alright.

>>77053985I always like to give my personal experience because people always say that losing weight fast leads to loose skin. I lost about 100 pounds within a year and got zero loose skin. Obviously it's a personal anecdote and different people are going to react differently, But I just want to point out not to take things that you hear anecdotally as gospel truth since there are always opposing anecdotes.

Not ecstatic but I did have 3 free meals this week instead of the usual two to avoid social friction.
I've been here about 9 years ago when I was going to the gym for the first time in my life, went from 100+ to 76 in about half a year when I was in my early 20s. All in all, I didn't like how I looked at all, I was skinny af because I was dieting like a retard with shit macros barely half the daily proteins I needed.In 2025 I was around 130, a lot of depression and years of wanting to kill myself and eating shit like a fat fuck to forget.Now I'm back here, it's 2026, been dieting for a few months, and exercising for a full month. Went down to 106. Gotta admit chatGPT is really good to get diet and gym advices. I'm now wearing Large clothes again from XXL and I look good in them.
>>770551286kgs a month is great progress, if you're working out on top of it don't forget water weight and muscle weight can fuck up your perception of things. Your silhouette and clothes won't lie though.
>>77055146Thanks, I'm following PSMF, working out 2 times a week to preserve muscle. Being sick for 2 weeks set me back a bit but it is what it is.

I'm 5'2" and 118lbs and still fat, so I am eating 1000 calories per day
>down 3,5kg since january 1st>now weight shot back up 1 kgi dont get it, i didnt eat more though, always went for 1500kcal
>>77055222any or all of: your hydration, sodium intake, carb intake, and exercise are inconsistent, so your weight is inconsistentand 1kg is fucking nothing
>>77055222bro literally dozens of things that can change the number on the scale, if i don't weigh myself at the same time i can lose a kg of water if i weigh myself an hour later by peeing twice in the morning. muscle inflammation from working out new muscles. eating more carbs than usual. eating more salt than usual. eating more fiber and not pooping.

>>77055368Under the big 300, well done lad.
It is not enough that I make it. Others must not make it.
>>77052832I was a perfectly normal person until i hit my late teens and then i don't know. I just lost my mind, became incredibly anti-social, stopped going outside or associating with people. Started heavily drinking most nights of the week and then binge eating along with it. Before you know, 10 years of my life had gone by and i was almost 400lbs. Now 2 years later and i'm 200lbs, making friends at work and starting to have a social life again. I want more for myself, i hate who i was. Also don't want to become a 40 year old KHV.
>>77052832Fat all my life, since a child (parents aren't fat, 90% of relatives aren't fat, don't know how they fucked up with me) and never learned how to eat. Obese at elementary school and stayed that way until my adult life. There came a point in my early twenties when I lost a significant amount of weight. I looked good, I acted like a brand new person, got compliments all around, and was able to wear nice clothing. I have no idea why but I just let myself get fat again. Got into my bad habits of eating junk and drinking tons of alcohol. There's been ups and downs where I've lost some but always gained it all back. I was at my heaviest about two months ago, 340lbs at 5'7", and actually started to feel pain because of it. I'm trying to lose because I'm tired of living this way now and I want to feel good about myself again.
>>77055350>no contextWhy even post
>>77055394Too late I already made it and now I'm helping others make it

>wasted all of JanuaryOK I'm back at it like a bad habit. I need to be able to get a GF this year and not just one that feels bad for me. I'm going to be boxing and weightlifting and swimming/running for cardio too. The boxing is for confidence. But ultimately I need to just stop drinking and smoking weed.

>>77055443broootal. I do have to say, I go on 4chan every day but I avoid /fit/ when I'm being fat. when I brose /fit/, specifically this thread daily. it helps me keep motivated. How sad is that?

>>77055439Brother. Start with walking. Just walk everyday for 2h. Download a podcast. Get an Album. Anything. Walk for 2h straight. Everyday. No exceptions. Its sustainable. No rest days needed. Easily repeatable. Once you've built that habbit, go for swims. Bike rides. Whatever you feel like. You will meet people outside. You'll start feeling a lot stronger consistency is key.
>up 10lbs of muscle>you gained weight anon are you ok
>>77055944today I got up and walked for 1.5hrs and almost hit my 10k step goal. I'm back here after fucking up last week, but I do sometimes have great streaks where I do this for a 4 weeks. Then fuck it up
>>77055969>situations that never occurred for 500 alex
>>77055976Thats the spirit. I have been on the walk strategy for about a month. Started consistently about 3 weeks ago. The weight loss is insane if you combine it with low cal intake. I shifted my goal from 10k steps to 3k cals burned a day. The measurements with google fit might not be accurate but its a good ballpark estimation.
>>77056004I use google fit too. I'll try that goal. Thanks bro I'm listening to Return of the King and plenty of of my nazi right wing podcasts so I should be able to do this. Drinking and smoking weed just kills all motivations so I need the mental fortitude to quit so it doesn't take away from my routine
>>77055536true
>>77055690I miss absolutely nothing about being fat. Everything is easier.
I fucked upI got bored of eating my veggies so I made a new dressing with some raw garlic in itnow, I inhaled those veggies like nobody's business so that went alrightbut I forgot how ridiculously appetite stimulating raw garlic is for me, I'm sitting here and the taste of my burps is making me hungryat least I can go sleep soon

I know I can do it because I have. I know it's just a matter of getting through the first two shitty weeks and then it gets easier. I know I'll feel better.Sighthanks for reading my blog
>>77056115My Ozempic using step mother gave me a massive jug of M&M peanuts for Christmas. Yeah, thanks for that.
>>77056115at least condition yourself to like diet soda so you have one less thing to worry about when you relapse, I switched to it a long time ago and now regular soda is way too syrupy for me
>>77056126this, diet soda is a cheat code. you should obviously drink water more, but diet soda is literally soda without the calories and sugar. people will tell you "but muh kidney stones" and shit, but we have yet to see solid scientific evidence of the negative long term effects of soda.the only thing i'm willing to believe though is maybe its effect on your teeth.
>>77056133yes, I eventually stopped drinking diet soda as well because my teeth are fucked anyway and any acidic drink gives me tooth pain after more than one glassnow I just do water, green tea, and herbal teas
>feel like shit>turn on oven>sit down at desk>realize I don't have the urge to eat at all>turn off ovenmy mind is healing

>>77056115don't be so hard on yourself.your hormones might have been fucked.here's the reminderreminder that relapsing and gaining weight back is not the result of fatties just liking food too much. the hormones are fucked and they know shit all about them so instead of saying they don't know, they just blame patients. >Conclusions>One year after initial weight reduction, levels of the circulating mediators of appetite that encourage weight regain after diet-induced weight loss do not revert to the levels recorded before weight loss. Long-term strategies to counteract this change may be needed to prevent obesity relapse.>Results>Weight loss (mean [±SE], 13.5±0.5 kg) led to significant reductions in levels of leptin, peptide YY, cholecystokinin, insulin (P<0.001 for all comparisons), and amylin (P=0.002) and to increases in levels of ghrelin (P<0.001), gastric inhibitory polypeptide (P=0.004), and pancreatic polypeptide (P=0.008). There was also a significant increase in subjective appetite (P<0.001). One year after the initial weight loss, there were still significant differences from baseline in the mean levels of leptin (P<0.001), peptide YY (P<0.001), cholecystokinin (P=0.04), insulin (P=0.01), ghrelin (P<0.001), gastric inhibitory polypeptide (P<0.001), and pancreatic polypeptide (P=0.002), as well as hunger (P<0.001).https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1105816

Is water fasting w/ electrolytes a good way to escape skinny fat mode asap? I also have some loose skin and want to fast to get rid of it
>>77056758in theory, it works.but the skinnyfat solution is to lift, proteinmaxx and eating at TDEE or a slight deficit.
Release me from this hell.Up and down, up and downI need to start going to the gym again but I'm so damn depressed and low energy I can only muster enough strength to drag myself to work and back
looks fairly stable. weight shifts some unless you are really locked in. no reason for it to sit on one number. learn your swing range. its trends that matter.
>>77056768Unironically start taking creatine and electrolytes and sleep more.
>>77056768Are you low energy because you're depressed or are you low energy because of the calorie deficit? I assume you're tracking calories
is there any difference between doing 2500 calories in and 500 calories burned cardio a day vs eating 2000 calories and not doing any cardio?

Been trying to lose weight for years but no results Brehs. Thinking of just going full Goggins mode and eating only around 1200 kcals a day and doing cardio nonstop for like 12 weeks. Hopefully I survive. The 1-2 lbs a week thing is bullshit. Way too slow for any meaningful result.
>>77056825Yes. Being ugly in public is a crime against humanity.
>>77056830Wear a paper bag over your head then, if anyone asks just say you’re trying to be Bane.
when i unsuck my gut and let my pot belly go, my front abdomens are rock hard but my obliques have no rigidity whatsoever. i can put my finger and push inside piss easy.i can push inside the adonis belt area too.is it because of muscle weakness or is it because of visceral fat pushing them into disproportion?
>>770568272lbs a week for a year is 104lbs. How is that not a meaningful result? You've failed to lose weight for years by your own admission, you won't be able to do what Goggins did. You are peak ngmi.
>>77056827the fuck do you mean? even on my hard core weight loss periods I max out at about 5 and change a week.2 a week is really good for any normal person.
>>77056842I must try. I dont have time to waste. Why be miserable for 6 months to a year when I can be ultra miserable for 12 weeks? >>77056848Anything above 2 lbs a week is considered scientifically too fast for health guidelines and leads to health complications
>>77056836Nah, I'll just lift in solitude.
>>77056852yes its not great but when you have fat its not that bad.
>>77056852i don't want to discourage you but my average was 1,300kcals/day for 4 months and i've only lost 24 pounds. close to half of them in the first month. and i haven't lost any weight for 3 weeks now. my maintenance is 1,900kcals since i'm a manlet. i haven't been walking and i only lift light weights.weight loss is not linear for everyone. shit sucks.

>>77056985I'm not lifting to burn the calories, that slop was 600kc I'd have to walk for two hours to burn it, I'm lifting to lift
>>77056992the concept of thinking a 2 hour walk will burn 600 calories
Does semen retention help lose weight?
>>77056992I didn't ask why you were eating it, that doesn't matter. It's a fat loss thread.If you don't want to gain weight you will have to work out hard after you eat it reguardless of how you work. The glucose spike and carbs are great for a work out in the short term.But I'm glad you lift, good for you lil buddy. You were just so excited to let us know.
>>77056994Depending on the pace and incline, 100 calories for 10 minutes isn't unrealistic.
>>77056909It looks 500+, but I don't know how tall he is.
>>77056998in the sense that you are more energetic yes
>>77056999read the quote chain from the top lil buddy and try real hard to understand the context
>>77057010I am not responding to the thread. Its not relevant to the statement. If you want to eat that and be fit you will need to exercise soon after. Or at least if you want to maximize its effectiveness. I don't need a thread worth of context for that. It is impressive you went a whole post without telling us you lift. Do you lift? > I lift to liftYou fucking retard. Kek.
>>77056998Depends, if you have sex it's a decent cardio workout, if you just masturbate it's trash and kills your motivation and energy levels.
>>77057018>I am not responding to the thread>I'm too stupid to read wahwahwahThen why bother replying?

>>77056855In all seriousness that is not a healthy attitude to have and you should go out and meet people
>third moron also fails to realize what the word "maintence" means in the first fucking post
>>77056852>Anything above 2 lbs a week is considered scientifically too fast for health guidelinesread: doctors would be legally liable>and leads to health complicationsnonsense, how can the same number be recommended as a blanket term? you're telling me that an otherwise healthy man in his 20s can't lose more weight than a 60yo woman?it's the equivalent of speed limits, it's an agreed upon number. you can go above the speed limit, it's not really a problem. unless you go stupidly fast, then you're probably in danger, but it's not a clear line, like you lose 2lbs a week and you're fine but lose 3lbs a week and suddenly you are fucking dying? give me a fucking break.If you are very fat you can easily lose 4lbs a week, and if you're motivated and otherwise healthy (apart from being fat) 3lbs is a good goal to set.
>>77057053In all seriousness, I'll go to the gym when I drop enough weight, have some strength, and have some self confidence.
I did OMAD and cardio and dropped a lot. My body fat dropped to 23% from 32%, but I want to push it down to the teens. How do I do this without further muscle loss? I have loss 1 kg of muscle, especially in my arms and trunks. My right arm is listed as severely under developed. I can't go to the gym and there is no weight in my house.
>>77057069Buy weights.
Dry meat with 0% fat is broken.Skyr (0% fat curd) is broken.Whey is broken.Look for a bunch of vegetables that you actually like, for me it's leek, bell peppers, yellow onions...Without those cheat codes, dieting would be literally impossible, but with them it's easy mode.
>>77057074>Look for a bunch of vegetables that you actually like, for me it's leek, bell peppers, yellow onionsfor me it's beets, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts and sweet potato
