First for salads!

Something is going on with me, bros.
As I've been losing weight, I've been finding porn less arousing to the point that I've not watched any in a week, yet at the same time, I'm having morning wood and started having dreams again.

three weeks in of eating the same food every day
I have perfected my sloppa.
Instead of just cooking my veggies and meat in the airfryer I now
>cook carrots and puree them with some water using an immersion blender
>brown the chicken and caramelize some onions in the butter I was using as dressing before
>use the carrots as a sauce for beans and chicken
takes a bit of time to cook but I can do it twice a week instead of daily. Takes any seasonings beautifully, the carrots have a nice natural sweetness, works great if you make it a little spicy.
Almost too tasty but since I just portion it immediately after cooking I have no trouble with overeating

>tfw weight does not go down unless i'm eating 1,000 calories a day
being a manlet is suffering. i can't hold 1,000 calories a day for more than a couple of days back to back then i eat 1,400 calories and the weight comes right back.
it is so fucking over. i'll be overweight forver.
at least i'm not obese anymore

>>77064062
NTA but for me it's the opposite, I also always get hornier the more weight I lose. I don't have weird misgivings about porn so I don't pretend losing weight made me enlightened or something.
Another thing that's also opposite to what a lot of people say is sleep, I sleep great on a deficit.

Not really sure why I bought a fitness tracker thought it could be fun to have more data about myself but I'm not really sure what I can do with that data considering its all pretty inaccurate, so its not very helpful and its not like "steps" helps me get my NEAT calories burned. might work for a sleep tracker but I can tell if I didnt sleep well by how I feel the next morning

>>77064070
i guess you meant NOT eating enough protein?
that is correct. my daily average protein for the past month has been 66g. it has always been hovering around low 70s or mid 60s.
>and/or not enough veggies
yeah. i don't eat many veggies because my bowels refuse to move if i eat ~300g of veggies in a day.

>>77064066
I mean at that point you're either tracking incorrectly, or you've hit a plateau and need to bring your calories up to maintenance levels and you need to eat at maintenance for as long as you dieted before starting the next cutting cycle.

>>77064076
i like the heart rate and exercise tracking, even if it's not 100% accurate. i used to have a chest strap heart rate monitor but i hated the friction (figuratively) of having to hook it up every time i wanted to do anything active.

>>77064077
no I specifically mean too much, retards always tend to hit stupid arbitrary protein amounts and then are miserable since they don't have room for anything else in their diet but it looks like you're good on that front
> i don't eat many veggies because my bowels refuse to move if i eat ~300g of veggies in a day.
so you're refusing to eat filling stuff because it's too filling? gee I wonder what the problem is
get some live fermented pickles if you're having gut trouble, kimchi, sauerkraut, whatever, every country has its own version and it does help

>>77064081
>you're either tracking incorrectly
i weigh everything or go by the label if i ate all of it
>and you need to eat at maintenance for as long as you dieted before starting the next cutting cycle.
4 months of extra weight time?
i had hoped to reach my goal by summer...

>>77064086
>weight time
wait time*
but i guess weight time also works lol
>>77064085
i get bad constipation from veggies. my bowels have been moving fine for the last couple of weeks and i'd like to continue the streak.

>>77064076
by far the most useful thing I'm tracking with my smartwatch is sleep, it helped me dial it in, and made me almost quit drinking
but heart rate is also useful, the number doesn't have to be perfectly accurate because the baseline doesn't really matter, what matters is how it changes, you can see if your conditioning is getting better by tracking your heart rate change over time
it helps when you have a decent device though, my first one was kinda dumb, but the one I have one will immediately notice that something is off when I'm sick or I have been drinking and give me a notification

I managed to pull on vacation. Still obese. She broke up with me after the holiday, but still kinda chuffed.
Goal is to lose 30kg this year. 112kg atm.

I've been eating clean and drinking water but ever since yesterday I've been feeling weirdly dizzy, nauseous and tired
What do? I'm eating enough and I'm not diabetic

Is this the right thread to post body and ask for advice on whether i should keep cutting, used to be 89kg, now im 66 kg 5'9 bloke but i still have noticeable lovehandles and a belly. I don't want abs, just a flat stomach and no handles. Then once i get that ill start eating more to get muscle
Im already going gym resistance training

My mate said it was too late for me to try recomping because i no longer have enough fat to convert into muscle or some shit.

>>77064236
>My mate said it was too late for me to try recomping because i no longer have enough fat to convert into muscle or some shit.
your mate is retarded. you can recomp at any bf% and any weight.
just start lifting and maximize protein intake. think 1g per pound of body weight (i think that's 2.2g per kg of body weight) while eating at maintenance.
bulking and cutting cycles are for serious lifters and frauders. normal people shoupd just stick to forever recomp.

My diet plan-
Bfast- 1 scoop protein, 1 scoop creatine
Lunch- 10 eggs
Dinner- wife cooks and I eat it all

Every 2 weeks I drop an egg or 2 if im not losing. 30min cardio plus bro split lifting 5 days a week. Sat/sun are cheat days but I rarely get to maintenence cals in practice. 2 drinks on thurs, 2 on sat.

sounds like a good plan but can you actually eat 10 eggs in a single meal?

I hope that seeing me turn my life around, fixing my weight and other issues, makes her see that I do love her and was serious when I said I want to be with her.

TVP chunks are insane protein per calorie
I feel like the fitness community is sleeping on this just because its related to veganfags

I just throw them like this in a salad or crunch on them as a snack

Aint no way the calories in mfp are real. I set it up today, the amount of calories I got already looked a bit high, I actuallt have it set to GAIN 0.5 lb a week, and I ate all my calories today and I’m still hungry. How is a greasy chicken thigh 135 cals and 2.5 tbsp peanut butter almost 300. Nonsense

>>77064310
gross

>>77064273
Yes I have done the 36 eggs a day before. 10 eggs is just like 700 calories. Very good nutrition, great for hormones. Even when I eat low calories I tend to stall on weight loss and I suspect my metabolism has dropped, possibly with age. My idea is the nutrition from the eggs will up regulate my hormones to fix that if it's an issue, but I keep the CICO aspect by making it extremely easy to drop out calories.

>>77064324
>and 2.5 tbsp peanut butter almost 300
this sounds right. perhaps a bit high even.
my peanut butter jar says 200kcals per 33g or 2 tabelspoons.
if you heap your tablespoon, it won't be 17g.
weigh your stuff. even a cheap chinese scale will do.
the actual meat on the chicken thigh isn't much so it might be right that it doesn't have that many calories. but did you notice the with skin vs without skin entries?
but idk why you're counting calories if you're trying to gain weight.
just chug down 10 chicken thighs and as much rice as possible every day.

>just eat me
>it's super filling and impossible to over eat
Fuck you assholes, I've gained ten pounds since the start of the year doing your gay fad diet. It's easy as fuck to down a couple pounds of sausage and beef and you certainly don't get that full.

>>77064371
>sausage

I've been doing quite well I think... other than drinking diet soda.

>>77064371
>It's easy as fuck to down a couple pounds of sausage and beef
It's hard for me to do that because I am disgusted by it very quickly unless I just worked out or something. Meat needs carbs with it to be appetizing to me.

my potbelly is so fucking disgusting. i've been unsucking it and looking at it whenever i go to the bathroom and i unsuck it randomly throughout the day and feel it, especially its sides, with my hands to convince myself to not eat whenever i feel like eating.
by frauding the world with sucking in my potbelly, i ended up frauding myself.

Doing rolling 48 hour fasts, on my 6th cycle down 22 pounds. Can I just keep doing these indefinitely or do I need to switch to omad for a week at some point for some reason? Srs replies only pls

For more context I was lifting consistently for like 6 months but I’m just walking each day while doing these fasts. 6’0 220 today. Any advice welcome

>>77064401
How many cycles did you do to get down 22 lbs?

After 48, do you do 1 meal, or a full day of 3 meals before you go back to 48 hours of fasting?

>>77064434
I’m on my 6th cycle today. After 48 I do a single meal, low carb (<50 g), probably about 2200-2500 calories. Then I just into the next fast. Sometimes I stretch out the eating window for 1-2 hours.

I know probably half the weight loss so far is water/glycogen. I’m just wondering if I might encounter any issues if I just continue doing this for 20-30 more pounds.

I know the whoosh effect isn't real, it's made up by people on r/loseit.
But what is really happening when you've stalled for a few days and then suddenly you drop multiple pounds?

>>77064445
The whoosh effect is real because your body doesn't follow any discernible logic on how it holds on to water
No the water is not inside the fatcells, but your body holds onto it

New here. I hope I will slim down this time.
Last year I was at 280 pounds, and then I did a new job at farm industry, thinking my weight will decrease. Now I actually feel healthier but I'm at 330 pounds.
Thanks for the general guides, I'll make it.

>>77064457
buying a food scale is the hardest step.
the next hardest step is weighing everything.
no matter which diet you choose to follow, you'll have to weigh your food. at least until you get a feel for the weights, portions and calories then you'll only need to weigh new foods.
it takes several months to develop the ability to eyeball calories imo but i haven't developed it yet so i'm not so sure.

depression and health issues. The winter here was unusually cold, and I can't handle cold weather. I also had nasty headaches that prevented me from working out much of the time.

wtf those are literally my exact stats as well, though i was cutting from 80
should i stop cutting at 65 then and just recomp, based on that other anons response

>>77064465
The food scale is on the way.
I live with a huge-ass family so I need to cook for myself if I want to cater it to my diet, Thankfully I enjoy cooking recently.
The hardest part might be when I need to eat outside for a long period, since ready foods that I can eat there are only oily and fatty foods.

I had food court calamari for lunch so I could scratch another animal (squid) off my list of things I've eaten

>>77064516
no. you should just recomp now.
cutting is for obese and overweight people.
>>77064518
you can buy rotisserie chicken when you eat out.

>>77064483
No. I’ve only been doing rolling 48s for 2 weeks. And I’m eating 150g+ protein on eating days. I would be shocked if I have lost anything significant

>>77064535
You can't lose 22lbs in 2 weeks without your body burning everything it can, that's famine level. You can't physiologically prevent catabolism on a 2000 calorie deficit.

the average sprinter has better legs than Mr Olympia because they're not trying to quadmaxx to the point of looking like clown pants

Some retard in this thread thinking fasting is still a gains goblin.

Full on water fasting with minimal lifting prevents the overwhelming majority of lean muscle mass loss. The first week youre gonna drop a ton of water weight and from completely emptying your bowels.

>>77064401
48 hour fasts are doing literally NOTHING to your lean muscle mass. You are completely fine. Youre not even in keto are that point unless you were in it off the fast too.
Keep doing what you like, id actually do 4/3 myself as you get alot of benefits from atrophy. Also if youre a post fatty or sugar lover it helps repair your insulin resistance.
