>>77090477Its been over a year since I hit my goal weight and body fat. I'd hit >150lbs>12% body fatBut it was hard. I regained, I hover around 157-164 and 17% body fat. I know I'm not fat anymore. I know I'm not. But I feel like such a slug for regaining any at all sometimes. How reasonable is it to try and go back down to 12% and do my best to stay there forever?
>>77090533imho it would be reasonable to go to 12% or less and then lean bulk as much as possible since muscles also require calories.
>>77090477I am changing my 3 day workouts from starting strength to upper lower, i am looking forward to the new stimuliIts a little depressing working out in a deficit and not being able to progessively overload as much
>>77090553Half of the time I feel totally fine at this size, I know that I'm not fat, I know that others still poke fun at me for being "small". But in my own mind, I know that I was 5% leaner and I know that I looked really good shirtless, but others at that weight kept telling me that I was scary looking. They kept saying that I was way too skinny and it was concerning. This wasn't just one person either, this was Coworkers, family, and a friend that meant well. I'm afraid of what ridicule might come with getting that "small" again. It was also difficult to maintain. Not impossible, no. I could do it again. It would just be difficult, and I'd have to get back into that mindset, and I'd have to stay in that mindset for a while. Which would be a little bit difficult if I was still in my current environment. My current environment, unfortunately, has a lot of enablers. There's always some stupid fucking holiday, a birthday, an anniversary. There's always something that requires food. I know that I could probably get around this if I kept that mindset. That if there's a party or an event to go to, I just secretly only eat at that event and tell them that I already ate. The problem is, when I was at my leanest and I was doing this at events, I had people following me around the event watching me eat, trying to offer me a second cake saying they didn't see me eat the first one and they needed to see me eat because they were afraid I'd become anorexic.
>>77089839 #I really need this to be true because I started doing full body 3x and my weight has been stalled since the 1st of the month but I've been drinking a lot more water. I'm supposed to be losing 2 pounds a week

>>77090533they say maintaining 12% is doable if one is strict with himself regarding the type of foods he eats. never managed to test this wisdom since i'm a fatfuck.what caused you to gain? drinking? fast foods? processed foods? candies?
Fatty ContestNapoli79.2kgMe and my Castle bros celebrating <80kg AND the goat being nice and friendly after all. The only thing that could top this would be a good solid fast at the start of the week! WAGMI.
>>77090602Just getting comfortable and starting to do more than eating one meal a day and just having plain coffee in the morning. Being more comfortable with events, being comfortable with eating on the day of events and not just fasting until the event. Being okay with baking at home again, little things that normal people do. Again, I know that I'm not fat at all. I'm just normal right now in terms of body fat percentage.
>>77090569>That if there's a party or an event to go to, I just secretly only eat at that event and tell them that I already ate. The problem is, when I was at my leanest and I was doing this at events, I had people following me around the event watching me eat, trying to offer me a second cake saying they didn't see me eat the first one and they needed to see me eat because they were afraid I'd become anorexic.lmaoyou do lift hard, right? maybe that would give you some leeway with food and gaining muscles should make you look good in clothes.>>77090608>Being okay with baking at home againif i have to guess, i'd bet this is the one that did you in. take it out but keep eating at events and shit then see how it goes. you still eat 150g of protein every day, right?
>>77090501Zyzz spoke to me in a dream, he told me we're all gonna make it. I cried. When I woke number had gone down. wagmi
>>77090608>little things that normal people dooh and there is no going back to normal. it's piss easy for ex-fatties to regain the weight back.fat cells either don't die at all or take an extremely long time to die. around a decade or so.unless you want to do some sort of "surgery". cryoliposuction. idk the side effects nor which regions it can be done on but it should destroy the fat cells and thus, return you to "normal".

>>77090614Shiiiiit 120g when I can, I don't lift as much as I should now. But I WAS decently lean and at 12% almist all my weight was lean mass.

>tfw gained 2kg steadily over the last weak cause i stopped doing my 10k steps a day... fug bros
>>77090490Even if you put fat on, drinking dehydrates you.It’s odd to see an increase on the scale after drinking, unless you had a really heavy meal alongside it. Did you have late night drunk food?
>>77090779that must suck
>>77090779and thats why your diet is more important

>RDL>Squat>Chest supported row>Incline bench press>Seated incline lateral raise>Dumbbell pullover (I'm at home with dumbbells so I can't do lat pulldown and too fat & weak for pullups / hangs)Anything you'd add?

>>77090590i'm still holding at 41g carbs. i have 4 eggs hard boiled ready in case i got hungry late at night.
>>77091057Would you do overhead press on the same day in addition to bench or alternate them? Same question for the raises.
>>77091066i can't into lifting schedules. i just do the same couple of lifts whenever.maybe this is why i'll always be a dyel.

fellas i went from 253 to 205 lbs since last year, i still need to get down to at least 165lbs, i'm already eating way below my tdee (2,180) (i'm eating around 900kcals max during omad) should i just cut carbs from my diet? i'm eating like 150grams of carbs and thats it, the rest is just protein.
>>77091087if you manage to cut them, great.but if you're losing weight steadily, you don't really have to cut them.i suggest waiting until or if you stop losing weight while eating carbs.i wish i can lose weight while eating carbs but i can't so i have to live without my dear chestnuts or eat them and stall...
>>77090978Caliper method isn't as reliable for fatties because of the loose skin distributes the subcutaneous fat over a larger area.
losing fat from all parts of my body except the gut
>>77091121This is me but it's legs and not gut. I am starting to suspect I have male lipodemia
>>77091121gut + lovehandles are first to show, last to goshit sucks
Okay bros honestly speaking what will you do after you got down to 15% body fat? I am very lost on what to do. I have just been eating maintenance for a week and feeling like I am getting fat again. Would you try to cut down to 12%? Try to build more muscle while eating at maintenance? Learn to jog? Any ideas on how to progress further behond the intial fat loss?

How do I lose face fat? I've been losing weight but my face stays the same. When does the face fat start to go away?
>>77091230Different for everyone, fat is usually lost and gained in a stack, everyone's stack is different, some people its the belly first, others store on their legs first, ect. Some will lose the face fat at 20% bf other will have to push into sub 15%, all depends on your genesSad news is if your face is the last place to go itll also be the first place to get it back As it marks the foundation of your fat stack.
>>77091227Build a PGU NU and fully detail the inner frame.
>>77090490yeah every time I drink, especially if I get fuckin wasted, it's like +4lbs on the scale that slowly goes down throughout the following days. pretty annoying but I guess it's a good deterrence from drinking
>>77091137>Would you try to cut down to 12%? Try to build more muscle while eating at maintenance?those at the same time. protein maxx while eating at TDEE and lifting hard. the fat will go down slowly.
body has been doing some weird shit latelyhaven't shit in two days despite pounding fiber and my piss is still pretty bright yellow even though I'm chugging a bottle of water every houralmost like it's holding on to everything i put in it for dear lifeand i keep only getting 5 hours of sleep but not feeling tired at all
>>77091121the gut will go eventually, just way later than you think it will. I was able to see my entire collar bone and all my neck tendons before I started to notice a difference in my belly fat / love handles. My belly definitely got smaller the whole way but it never actually started changing shape / flattening until much later
>>77091244>fat is usually lost and gained in a stack, everyone's stack is differentnever thought about that... I guess I was destined to have back fat

>>77091309>>77091311>>77091319>>77091321I am tired of being a fatcel. 196 lbs at 5'7.
>>77091337thats not even that fat, and definetely not fat enough to go on glps
>>77091337well yeah but do you want to be not fat for 1 month and then bounce back or do you want to be not fat for the rest of your life
>>77091270Fidk about the piss but more fiber doesn't necessarily equate to more shitting.i get bad constipation if i eat a ~300g of veggies.different things for different people. and they say you'll have to increase your fiber intake slowly or it'll backfire and cause constipation.
>>77091339>30.4 BMI>not even that fathe's a fatfuck.>>77091337>>77091305some side effects worry me or i would have jumped on it.>some mice got thyroid cancer>constipation seems to hit some people badly>muscle lossthink for yourself if the risk is worth taking. have you tried protein maxxing and/or low carb/keto? those seem to work best to curb hunger.
>>77091305you don't need it
Feel like such a retard walking around 20lbs overweight for years on purpose thinking it made me look bigger. 15lbs in to first cut in forever and somehow stronger and my shoulders look wider because im not built like a fucking fridge
>>77091364>mice studies>thousand of people on long term safety studies and no risks above placebo.>bullshit muscle wastingYeah keep being an insulin resistant fat fuck. Your inability to act and your instinct to make excuses instead of trying anything to improve yourself have got you here anyways
>>77091337 tirzepatide and fasting. You'll be normal sized in 3 months max
>>77091396you can't just handwave FDA warnings and studies. those are real risks.you keep accusing people of being extremely fat and/or having the beetus whenever you disagree with them. why do you do this? my BMI is 27.5 down from 31.5my fasting glucose was 87 at my fattest.for me, the risk is not worth it even though it would be really fucking nice to not have to actively manage food.
>>77091430I was talking about him not you. I genuinely do this shit for a living and read the papers before starting. If the mouse studies showed any credible risk for thyroid cancer in humans above placebo it wouldn't of even gone to phase 2. Its like refusing to fly because the Wright Brothers crashed
>>77091430Also you're right having an extreme anti-social sperg out over a simple disagreement simply because we're on an imageboard is a really gay behavior for me a grown man to be having.
>>77090490it's eating that's not worth it
>>77091305only reason not to is the moneyif you get some side effect you'll get rich in the class action lawsuit like mesothelioma victims

no cheat meal in 6 weeks, craving pizza like no tomorrow...should i?

>>77091676>I just don't know how to tackle the weight loss in my positionthe same way everyone else does it, eat less and move morecount calories and walk an hour per day and come back in a month
i did some shitting today. i hope i'll hit a new low weight tomorrow.

>>77091785Better than living as a fatty.
>>77091788Or he could just eat less and be a man.
>>77090477I will be switching my 3 day/week workouts from starting strength to upper lowersAm looking forward to the new stimuli and more muscle groups being worked but also am worried about the increased time ill need to spend in the gym, starting strength was like 40-50 minutes including warm ups and was only 3 exercises, im guessing upper lower is gonna be over an hour with its 5 exercises
>>77090477I swear to God the mirror has seen me looking good, looking slim, looking like my abdomen is slender and from the side a nice sexy 6".. But the scale is up 4kg. The tape measure is up 2". NO MORE BREAD. NO MORE OIL. FUUUUUUUCK. ITS SUPPOSED TO BE SCHNITZEL NIGHT TONIGHT. I'm going to have to tell my wife she's overfeeding me and I'm going to just be having salads for dinner, she and the kids can have whatever she plans.
>>77091795Let's be real, if he could he would've already.

>>77090477I bought in fully. I believed it. "There's a Chad inside me just waiting to get out at 10% body fat!" Now here I am. What did I get? It turns out I'm a fucking GHOUL. I have a large brow ridge, a bulbous nose and not much of a jaw. Now that I'm lean, my angular sharper facial features exaggerate everything and I look bizarre as fuck. I'm like if WIllem Dafoe had a worse jawline, what the fuck do I even do at this point?
>>77091934:^| I'm sorry dude. Look into plastic? Just how bad is it?
>>77091938Imagine a guy with a large protruding brow ridge, a fat round nose, a sharp point chin and a very rounded weak jaw. Now give him hollow cheeks and sunken eyes. I literally actually look like a fucking gargoyle
>>77091943I'm just wondering if like many people in here, you have extreme body dysmorphia. But for your face.
>>77091949idk it's possible but I do think I look really fucking weird. Like, I look like one of those weird models that you see on runways who get used specifically because they look so odd.
My face is starting to come back :)
>>77091934Bro you have a whole new face now.Give yourself some time to get used to it.face gains are fucking extreme, I've seen before and afters and lots of people look completely fucking different. You're just focusing on every detail you've never seen before.
>>77091951Do you have a reference you can use that you feel does actually look decently close to yourself? It sounds like you might just not be your own ideal, but that doesn't mean that you're completely ugly and unattractive to everyone, especially all women.
Preparing to start the process of committing to losing weight. Besides taking before pics, what else should I do to log progress? I feel like taking individual measurements of neck, stomach, etc. might be a bit overkill. Also how often do you guys weigh yourselves? I don't think daily measurements are necessary. Once a week? Twice a week?Starting off at around 295lbs
>>77091966>Do you have a reference you can use that you feel does actually look decently close to yourselfa goblin
Walked over 20,000 steps today. Is there any reason I cant do this every day? I have no life and nothing better to do
>>77091969I weigh every monday, before breakfast/coffee but after my morning shit. This is almost laboratorium levels of gathering data, but it gives a nice flow of your weight loss overtime.
How do I explain to my kids that daddy's not eating dinner anymore and why that's okay? I'm afraid that I'm going to encourage an eating disorder in my young children. Or that I'm going to give their mothers problems while they're stuck eating dinner like vegetables and meat and they don't want to while just sit there and don't eat anything at all.
>>77091913Thanks brah, Im taking a maintenance break so I can put on some more muscle before I cut down to 75kg, I want to start cutting again around April. Should take me about 3-4 months to get there.>>77091925178cm (5 ft 10)
>>77091969I weigh myself weekly on a Sunday morning. Try to avoid excess salt on the days before weigh in and try to limit water intake. Wake up, take a piss and shit then weigh yourself 2 or 3 times and take the average of those.I definitely recommend using another measurement, waist and chest is probably the best 2 measurements you can add. Neck is fine but the changes are a lot smaller and therefore more error prone.>>77092002You shouldn't be eating nothing at all, try eat the same as what they're eating but smaller portions / load up on salad and veggies and other lower calorie stuff. Kids mimic adults so you should try avoid creating an unhealthy relationship with food for them.
>>77092002How about you do eat dinner but only a little bit of something low calorie like vegetablescrazy idea
>>77092002skip lunch instead

>>77091995>>77092021Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried to start the journey many times, but something always come up that throws me off. Maybe if I actually keep progress in things besides what I lift in the gym it'll help. Will weigh myself once a week and log it in a spreadsheet.>I definitely recommend using another measurement, waist and chest is probably the best 2 measurements you can addAlright, waist measurements does make sense since that's where most of my weight is localized around. Will track that as well. Thank you

Thoughts on smoothiemaxxing? I ate hardboiled eggs in the morning, and my regular chicken and salad fitslop at work. But after 6PM I plan on drinking a small smoothie with banana, milk, and a scoop of creatine.I'm hungry as FUCK but that's good, no? I feel like hunger is the physical sensation of my body shrinking
>>77092002If you’re doing omad, make that your meal. If you’re fasting, don’t. I grew up with a BED dad who worked from home so did all the cooking. It is the root cause of my food issues. Still love him though.
>>77092130I like to put cottage cheese in my smoothies. I would call that a shake though, banana is a very carby fruit. Do half the banana and add berries for a smoothie. Also use frozen fruit for a delightful creamy texture.
>>77092132Hmm. Noted.

>>77091738>did not hit a new low weight>weight increased instead
>>77091796yeah it will take longer. depending on the exercises you could superset some of them (no resting between sets). like bicep curls and tricep extensions.

>>77091994Should be fine as long as your joints and feet can handle it. Might need a bit more sleep to recover properly. Taking 1 day off a week wouldn't hurt though.

>>77092570I don't know why you even posted if you were just going to go by a gut feeling based on zero mechanistic properties of how the body actually works and then respond to anyone giving you accurate information with that.
>>77092573Because it's a conversation and I was adding information. Frankly your "answer" didn't explain my question. I don't know why you would go on the internet and expect anyone to treat you as an authority. Frankly I don't care about why you think anything, I am still grateful for your response.
>>77092583You're right, and the way I responded was inappropriate. I apologize. It's 3.41 a.m. where I am, and I'm running on basically no sleep. It's not an excuse for being rude, but I apologize anyway.
>>77092588No need. Your good anon. Get some sleep.
Made a new friend at work but she brings in chocolates and lollys for me. Its cute as hell, but fuck, das not it man when scale is starting to go up again.
I am weight lifting 3 times week and kickboxing 3 times a week. Sometimes I don't even get a day off.I am still 270 lbs with 27 percent body fat according to that electrical thingy.My cardio is ok, I am stronk, but I have fucking tits. But if I don't eat, I can't keep up with this level of workout.
>>77092595Pick the lollies, and eat one at work in front of her. You can spare 50ish calories. Take the chocolate home and then toss it.

It feels like every other week there is a family party or holiday, so I end with too much to eat.
>lose about 10 kg>people now occassionally begin to acknowledge you as a human being and smile when looking at youNow I'm not saying looks are everything, but it sure is a nice reminder that you're not even living properly if you're a fat fuck. I, for one, am extremely repulsed by fat people who disrespect their own potential and body and is the reason I started losing weight.Given the fact that I have to lose another 12 kg or so, I'm curious to see where this will lead

>>77092826Huh?
24,9 bmi today.Officially left overweight bmi category and entered "normal" category.Started 113,1 kg now 85,2 kg.Let's go.

>>77092783I want a chocolate bar so bad I dream about chocolate. Usually I dream about fucking hot chicks or building a go-kart with my ex-landlord, or like being batman, or somehow a dream where I'm batman and I'm building a go-kart with my ex-landlord in order to fuck hot chicks but lately I dream about blowing up my entire month's deficit in one chocolate binge. I feel like a addict craving a hit. I'm not sure if I have the strength to resist.
>>77092783I've been doing repeat 4 day fasts with 1 day of eating in between, but I might do 2 days of eating at the end of the next cycle.
>>77092863So no then
>>77092961Hershey's bar is like 210 calories. I'm sure you can fit it in.

>>77093006>T. Milton S. Hershey
>>77093026OK whatever
>>77092063What is it??
I've been in a 1000 calorie deficit every day for the last 3 weeks but I've fucking plateaued just at the 300 pound line so I don't even get the gratification of being sub 300What the fuck manI have to cope that it's because i added squats and RDLs to my lifting and my legs are retaining a bunch of water and that that's compounded by my creatine (even though I've already been steadily dosed for months)
So everyone recommends chicken broccoli rice as like the diet, but what if I'm not the biggest fan of rice. I've seen people recommend potato, but honestly I'm not really a fan of that either, unless its like a potato wedge with ketchup I'm just not into it. What would be the downside to just allocating the calories I would have put towards rice/potato, and just having more broccoli instead or would that throw off the thing? What's the downside to brocmaxxing?
>>77091876This is incredible hope fuel. Were you lifting before you started your weight loss? Your arms are huge. Did you take any substances during this?
>>77093034A “calorie deficit” literally means you are expending more energy than you are taking in. Physical laws of the universe state that this is *mathematically* equivalent to decreasing mass (ie weight goes down). If weight is not going down *you are not* in a calorie deficit. Sorry man. It’s just a fact. The scale doesn’t lie. You either need to eat less or burn more calories.
Not great not terrible. Was a bit loose this past week, gonna have to lock in now.
>>77093064Try eating sufficient calories from broccoli and you’ll see it’s difficult. How do you feel about whole grain pasta? You could also try hot sauce or vinegar on potatoes. Keep counting calories. And yes, those dollops of butter or olive oil count as calories.
>>77092945>I read somewhere before that if a men belly size exceeds 90 that's unhealthyYe bro, this single number can be applied to every male from 100cm to 200cm tall to determine if they're "healthy".
>>77093073My diet hasn't changed, so yes, I'm in a calorie deficitWater weight is a thing
177cm x 83 kgI just feel so unaesthetic. I do around 100-150 burpees everyday + weightlifting and calisthenics but I can't lose weight.
>>77093086>Try eating sufficient calories from broccoli and you’ll see it’s difficult.I'm a massive fat fuck and have been basically my whole life, I can easily eat a surplus of broccoli if I don't restrict myself, that's not a problem for me in the slightest.
>>77093094Just ignore that retard, he's been doing that to everyone who hits a plateauPlateaus are normal, just gotta keep on keeping on man
Ok you got me. I fell for it. I did all goofy shit; I dieted, I fasted, I even fucking jogged like some sort of trained rodent. I hope you got your laughs out of it. I'm a gullible fat sack of shit, but I jumped through all the hoops, so now I'd like for you to be honest with me.I just want to know what the secret food is. What is the secret food that melts the fat off? No more silly games please, just give me the answer.
>>77093098Try eating less.
>>77093105>has a problem>tries to solve it with foodI think I found your issue
You've lost 19lbs in 4 months, which is great because you are making progress, but at your weight it should be going faster, let alone plateau. You're overestimating your TDEE or aren't tracking foods properly. At 1000kcal deficit, you should've lost almost 6lbs of fat in 3 weeks, water weight from a new exercise isn't going to make up for that.Not saying this to discourage you, but you need to make improvements.
>>77093115>water weight from a new exercise isn't going to make up for that.Sure it canWaterweight from inflammation/sodium/carbohydrates can be so drastic that you can hold up to 10 lbs of it for a normal sized manSo at any given time your waterweight can fluctuate between -10lb to +10lb
>>77091994>Is there any reason I cant do this every day?Foot blistersKnee, ankle, or hip painNipple chafingThese are all roadblocks in the mega walk strategy.That said- they literally are all mitigated by losing weight. Be smart, listen to your body.
>>77091994It gets boring like anything else in life.
>>77092002>How do I explain to my kids that daddy's not eating dinner anymore and why that's okay?Explain that you are not growing and need to lose weight while they are growing and need to eat dinner.
>>77092897Congrats!
Seroquel gives me the fucking munchies at night when I wake up and I eat without realizing like a zombie. What should I do about it? Have a big bottle of water next to me to fill my stomach with water instead?

>>77093127But he's following trends over 3 months. And I doubt he's doing tom platz leg days. In this specific case I think that's wishful thinking, he's better off reevaluating his diet.
>>77093162Oh yeah you're right, I was just singling out the sentence where you said '6 lbs of fat in 3 weeks and that water weight can't make up for that' Now that I see what you're referring to you're 100% right, having such slow weightloss at 300 lb means you're definitely not in a 1000 calorie deficit
>>77093162>>77093182I'm literally tracking all of my calories and i even have a food scale. I don't eat more than 1700 per day
>>77093192Height?
Back on the wagonRolling 72s until I reach my GW
>>770932155'9.5"
>>77093219You very sedentary besides your workout sessions?
>>77093227Yes
>>77093236Yeah I can see it happening, you're probably overestimating your calorie expenditureI am also super sedentary so I try to eat under 1500 cals per day at 5'11.5"
>>77093239
>>77093248Oh I know those lying calculators quite wellThe body is more efficient than that, specially for someone not moving around all dayYou would 100% gain weight when eating 2800 calories per day
>>77093145Stop copying me wtf >>77093075
>>77093182Ye that was my mistake,I forgot to tag the post I'm replying to.
It's funny when you guys gaslight a hamplanet into thinking he needs to eat 800 kcal or he'll keep gaining weight
>>77093105What is the secret food that melts the fat off?>stop eating carbohydrates
>>77093304It's funny if your whole point hinges on a lieI said at 2800 he will gain weight if he doesn't move muchI used to be 330lb so I know that these calculators are bullshit if you're actually sedentary
>>77093075What are your methods?
>>77093314PSMF, just doing what RFL handbook by Lyle McDonald told me to, its on annas archive

>>77093354Yeah they dont wat for 3 days then stuff their face
>>77093365Isn't that too risky? The longer the fast is going, the harder it will be to maintain and prevent binge eating?
>>77093365I won't stuff my face. I won't eat for 72 hrs then have one meal and fast again for 72 hrs and so on.>>77093367I wanna reach my goal by mid summer
>>77093367Its fucking stupid yes, fast are good for breaking plateaus, maybe gut healthy, but to think you can do that for the rest if your life is stupid
>>77093385>starve all your gut biome out of food and risk potential total species extermination >gut healthy
>>77093308I checked out the /fat/ thread BMR calculator and the numbers make more sense if you use models that actually use bodyfat percentage
do yall take multi vitamins?
>>77093404I do yeah. But I also dont go outside ever and stuff
>>77093404Yeh, I've been taking Optimum Nutrition's Opti-Men for a while nowThey smell/taste like manure and you have to take three a day but they got a lot of good shit in themI just down them with my coffee, it dulls out the flavor
>>77093416DamnJews really tricked you into eating overpriced shit capsules
>>77093423Yep, wouldn't have it any other way tbdesu
Are you supposed to take multivitamins when fasting? Few days ago I took my multi and zinc while fasting and it felt like my stomach was bleeding. Had to take a nap to deal with the pain.
>>77093428The instructions on pills should be the size of a newspaper, there was no information in the booklet?
>>77093428You generally want to take multivites with food, so I would hold off if you're doing a crazy multi day fast. IF and OMAD you can just take with your daily calorie intake.Not an expert by any means but usually stuff like Zinc, Copper, Iron (which you probably shouldn't be taking as a man unless you're deficient) in vitamins have a harder time digesting without food along with them
>>77093433Ya I'm fucking retarded, says to take with food. Didn't think the pain would be so bad though.>>77093437Its was roughly 36 hrs into a 48 hr fast, something I've never done before. Should I just focus on consuming electrolytes of fasting days?
I don’t even feel hungry while fasting but I can’t help but act like a neurotic wreck after a day or two without eating.
>>77093388>maybe
>>77093404Yeah and I take Vitamin D and K. Really makes a difference
>>77093404I take 5000u of D3, a multivitamin, and a multi-oil (sterol/CoQ10/omega3)
>>77093304if the hamplanet walks a grand total of 600 steps per day they probably do need to eat that much to lose weight kek
>>77093471Brand of the multi-oil?
>>77093397this seems much more accurate than the other ones. In reality people click sedentary but that's still assuming a way higher activity level than they actually have. The 3rd and 4th activity level selections in your screenshot are likely what most fatties should be using, not sedentary.
>>77093509The problem is the previous models all calculate bodyweight as a total even though musclemass has a much higher BMR than fatmassThe other models actually give less priority to fatmass for BMR calculations
>>77093428if I take zinc on an empty stomach it almost always makes me throw up or come close to throwing up. gotta be careful with what you take on an empty stomach, some pills can actually be pretty harmful to your stomach lining.
>>77092716Thanks. I was also getting annoyed last night.
Is it better to do all exercise on one day and rest a day or to split them up and do something every day? Kinda prefer the latter
How do I keep working on art while dieting? Food is energy for sustained creative stuff should I nutrientmax and just eat superfoods and extremely low calorie food in huge quanities like a metric fuckton of celery?
>>77093579>should I nutrientmax and just eat superfoods and extremely low calorie food in huge quanities like a metric fuckton of celeryit blows my mind this is a thought pattern you can just.. have. what went wrong anon, why are you trying so hard to avoid eating normally
>>77093566theoretically the more split up they are the more you will gain. You'll be able to lift more weight on a fresh day will full glycogen stores than you would 45 minutes into a workout where you've already done 12-16 sets. So if you really want to min-max your gains you would spread everything out. I don't think it's that big of a deal as a beginner though. Just showing up and going through the motions is the most important thing for the first 6-8 months.

Weight loss guaranteed:Understand that weight loss ONLY happens when more calories are burned than consumed.To achieve this:Get your sleep right: Sleep is in order, you feel better and more energized, you move around more, you burn more calories. E-Z and FREE.Drink more water: "Don't be thick in front of me, Al." I'm not explaining because you are not stupid. Pretty easy and damn near free.Stop eating garbage: "Don't be thick in front of me, Al." I'm not explaining because you are not stupid. E-Z because it requires you to just NOT do the thing. Might actually SAVE you money.Eat less but more often: 5 small meals per day. Constant stream of food, more consistent energy, engine runs hotter, burns more fuel, body doesn't cling for dear life to every calorie not knowing when the next one will come around.Easy on the carbs: Especially before and during sedentary periods.
I'm 178cm and hit 73.2kg today and want to start cutting about 5kg for the summer. I've a generally decent understanding of calories and would prefer to not count them. Should I just reduce carbs by half and keep eating the same stuff I'm eating already and substitute the less lean protein for chicken and turkey?
>>77093682Saved
Can someone redpill me on what’s wrong with seed oils?Outside of the whole massive amount of calories obviously, I mean why are they bad compared to other oils
>>77093682that should work in theory as long as you don't compensate for that change by eating more of other foods or lowering your activity level as a result of the decrease in carbs/calories. seeing as you're already a healthy weight I assume you have a healthy relationship with food and should be able to handle that change without issue
>>77093719It's just contrarians who hate mainstream nutritional science, all evidence we have so far points towards seed oils being a better fat source than saturated fats
>>77093654>Eat less but more often: 5 small meals per dayIt's a stupid myth. Even 2 meals pey day are good, assuming you won't eat like a pig.
i like pasta too much
>>77093736Oh interesting, what was the logic behind it being worse anyway? Is there any reason at all for me to be buying more expensive oils?
>>77093537What
>>77093579Eat nutrient dense foods. Thats it. You don't have to go crazy like with the celery thing. For breakfast, have some eggs. For lunch, have a salad with some avocado or some salmon and green vegetables. Have a protein shake or some nuts or some jerky for a snack. It's not hard man.
>>77093772The logic is literally processing/modern/unnatural = badDepends on the oil, I would say no if you're not rich but they probably taste better if its like oil from cold pressed organic seeds
>>77093603>fasting been making me feel bloated and weird recently (either that or I've just been splurging a bit much with the slopYeah, which one could it possibly be that's making your body react poorly, not eating garbage or eating garbage? I'm sure it's definitely a toss-up between the two. Could be either really.In reality, I'm being facetious. I'm not mocking you. I'm glad you're feeling better, Anon.
>>77093772They draw a correlation between hyper-processing and other forms of hyper-processed food, like Twinkies or Doritos. It's true that they are very processed, but it's a single isolated macronutrient - fat. It's not a combination of sugar and salt and preservatives and MSG and refined wheat flour and stuff like that like chips or a cake is. If you want to have a salad with some canola oil based dressing or whatever, its not going to hurt you.
>>77093799>salad>not hurting you
>>77093588It's not so much a thought pattern as some people just crave food more. >what went wrongme eat more calories than me burn >why are you trying so hard to avoid eating normallybecause absent GLPs my "normal" is way too much>dude just be a MAN and summon innate willpowerWillpower is a currency and I'm asking how to spend that currency on both weight loss and productive creative output
>>77093806Ok
>>77093818Willpower is infinite If you were to lose all willpower and give into something, then suddenly someone would hold a gun to your head and threaten to kill you if you do it, you wouldn’t do it. This could go on indefinitely
