>>77110607what if you just cardio like a mfer all throughout march and lift twice a week? Good luck!
>>77110614ok ill do that
>>77110616for what it's worth, i look like the halfway stage between your two photos, and that's what im doing currently. Solid progress anon
Fatty ContestName: Dzonathan GavertWeight: 89.2 kgOverall Progress:https://tinylink.net/1JdoyMotivational Song of the Day:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sj-S3NHymMWell, here we are againIt's always such a pleasure
>>77110623Your feet are getting so veiny.
>>77110626Jogging 12km in the morning will do that for you.
Fatty ContestNapoli76.4kgguys my scale's UI changed to GREEN! i thought it was always yellow apparantly its dynamic, it considers me normal weight now! unbelieveable! Shoutouts to all the nice anons.
>>77110607I wonder if you're managing your cortisol right. That would explain the bloating. Or you could just be shit out of luck and that's just how your loose skin might look. Either way, keep pushing till 8% fat.
>>77110080Oh so you ARE mentally disabled. Interesting. And here I was assuming the best for you, that you were just a short woman.
>>77110607Do you drink alcohol? Is your belly firm? It might be time to see your doctor.
>>771105585'9 254.6I have been at the same weight for a couple weeks now
>>77110665but what do you do to lose weight?
>>77110668eat until i can't physically stomach anymore food, and work out
not sure if this is the right place, but I found a couple of adjustable dumbbells on someone's yard for 5 bucks, decided to get them since all the gyms in my area are really expensive and they get super crowded, I'm not too familiar with weight workouts so I tried getting claude to do it does this look like good advice?
I’m in a 750-1000 kcal deficit for a month. Is it recommended to do a maintenance day/week or can i keep the deficit?
185cm, 94 kg, goal is to get to 70kg by the end of the year, is it feasible?
>>77110741let's do the math. am burger so I'll convert to imperial units>you are 207 lbs. you want to get to 154 lbs>1 lb of fat is 3500 calories>207-154 = 53 lbs to lose>53 * 3500 = 185500 calories to burnif you ate at a 500 calorie deficit...>185500 / 500 = 371 days of proper dietif you ate at a 500 calorie deficit the answer is NO, not by the end of the yearif you ate at a 1000 calorie deficit...>185500 / 1000 = 185.5 days of proper dietif you ate at a 1000 calorie deficit the answer is YES, by the end of the yearplug your height/weight/general activity level into this calculator https://tdeecalculator.net/ and it'll give you your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). i.e. how many calories you burn in a day. then just eat 1000 calories less than that every day, and it will take you 185.5 days to reach your goal of 154 lbs
Consistently working out is both fixing my erections but killing my porn addiction. Wasn't expecting to involuntarily start nofap when starting this.
>>77110699Yes, but what actual exercises will you be programming for each?
>>77110823You're just tired.
>>77110741technically feasible but not realistic also gunbuster is dope
>see myself in a mirror>"damn I'm starting to look good">4 hours later>see myself in the same mirror>"damn I look fat as fuck"what gives
>>77110864All progress is good progress. Don't let your inner negative voice tear you down. If you've lost weight on the scale, then objectively you've improved. And you can take it to heart that you're moving in the right direction. You are your own worst critic.
>>77110823Glad you're getting better anon
is walking up and down stairs good exercise?
>>771105586'1 180 rn. have been reducing cigs and alcohol but am still bloated from the no cigs part. what do yall recommend to deal with the bloating? do I just need to slug water til this normalizes?btw i lift 4 times a week and don't drink caffeine unless I'm planning on a late night
>>77110884it is but you're gonna fuck up your knees if you're too fat
>>77110607Can somebody tell me how to ban indian IPs on blue boards? I know how to filter them on /pol/ is it possible to do it here too?
>>77110888Nice digits. How else gas your diet changed? Are you constipated? Consider a black coffee at breakfast, pro biotics, or just a raw apple a day
>>77110884Putting down the fork is better.
>>77110892diet is p standard. lot of protein and usually fairly low carb outside of rice, veggies, fruit. I have been slamming seltzers (non-alc) which definitely causes bloating. I'm not constipated but I feel like everything is moving slower. i drink decaf in the morning, so I may just try fasting or going super clean ie only chicken veggies and fruit
>>77110864waterweight and bloatingits always that
>>77110888Nicotine and tobacco alters your gut microbiome, so until it resettles there's going to be some unpleasant side effects. Try and fit in some low cal good probiotics like sauerkraut or Greek yogurt.
>>77110864https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_dysmorphic_disorder
>>77110905yeah that's understandable. i really don't like yogurt and kombucha has too much sugar. any additional recs of shit I could just pick up at the store? worst case I just get some kefir.
>>77110919Kombucha does not have "too much sugar". The way its made is by fermentation, where the sugar is literally eaten away.
>>77110919Kombucha has the same amount of sugar per serving as Greek yogurt and less sugar per serving than kefir so idk what you mean by that. But there are plenty of probiotic foods you can choose from like miso or kimchi or pickles even. The mainstay go-to is yogurt/kefir but do what works for you.
>>77110888>still bloated from the no cigs partis that how that works? I'm on day 3 of no nic and I was up like 2 lbs yesterdayalso I want to kms, sleep, and punch a wall all at the same timet. pack a day smoker for 10 years
>>77110929>>77110934interesting I was probably looking at some really shitty brand then that had like 23g of added sugar. I'll have to look at the brands again. I also forgot about psyllium husk. thanks bros
>>77110937Be good bro. Good on you for quitting. Cigs killed my mom about 5 years ago. Stay strong.
>>77110935yup, it's effectively your digestive system going haywire. it's a mix of constipation, slower metabolism, bloating, and water retention>>77110939appreciate you man & sorry to hear
>>77110888Perhaps my story will help you stay on target.>grandparents all lifelong smokers>parents have a vacation booked>grandfather very obviously going downhill>admitted to hospital>cancer ofc>sent home on oxygen>parents go vacay anyway, great>2 days later, midnight call from grandma>head to local emergency room>podunk town, tiny ER where everyone can kind of see everything going on>see grandpa's emaciated body writhing as they try and shove a tube down his throat so he can breathe>some gay nurse yelling about him pissing>they almost can't get the tube in because he's got so much lung cancer his throat is closed>have to transfer him to a real hospital>one hour ride chasing ambulance with grandma in the passenger seat>she's been married to this guy for 50 years, btw >finally get there>as soon he's admitted and all hooked up, we're basically told they can keep him alive but it's really time>grandma can't decide>I have to make the decision (23 years old btw)>watch a doc squeeze the entire contents of what I now guess is an IV of morphine into him>watch him hiccup to death for 10 minutes>take grandma home>get back to my place at about 8am>have to tell my parents it was ok that they weren't thereIt was not a good death, Anon, and dying that way was not a nice thing to have done to his loved ones. That was 20+ years ago, and now my father (that quit smoking when I was born and shows no signs of health issues whatsoever) has outlived his own father.The term core memory gets used a lot now. Let me tell you, being responsible for pulling the plug on my grandfather at 23 because he was too much of a pussy to quit smoking is a core memory for me.
>>77110764>>77110841Thank you, anons
Fatty ContestName: TimmyGonnaDoItWeight: 94.8 kg
>>77110741You could do that in 3-4 months if you plan to be actually serious about it, but that would require strict diet, good sleep and lot of exercise
mum said I have muscles now
>>77110607focusing more on gaining muscle (while still losing fat) would help more with the skinny fat issue
>>77110831it gave me these for the push and pull days
>>77110531Fastest, probably cheapest and leanest way to get drunk, but people usually chase it with juice or soda to deal with burn and it's rather mostly popular in Slavic counties.Getting a bit drunk helps with social anxiety and talking to women, no arranged marriages here, after all.
>>77110841Losing 50 lbs in 10 months is definitely realistic>>77110980This probably not though, maybe if you were obese but at that weight no way, maybe if you did a long water fast
>>77111071explain how you do a incline floor press in a way that doesn't rape your spine
gave up alcohol, weed, and cigs this month. haven't had cravings for anything but booze because I love the person I am when slightly buzzed, but it is what it is
>>77110741I went from 94 -> 75 @186cm in 3 months.
>>77111113Tuck your lats
>>77110558abusing non-fat greek yogurt is my greatest tool for weight loss. I crushed up a cup of strawberries last night and added 15g (real) sugar to 12oz greek yogurt. It was amazing.>300cal>34g protein
>>77111194I just used a hand-held masher btw I hate doing extra dishes.
>>77111194Why not honey instead of sugar?
>>77111204I'll probably try that tonight and use some frozen berry mix instead of strawberries. I tried that mix once with non-fat greek yogurt without adding any sweetener and it was not good.
>>77110971my father quit smoking in his 50s and lived to 82. his father died at 52 of smoking related lung disease. keep carrying the torch
>>77111194>>77111208the secret to making plain yogurt edible without added sugar is to drain it better. I open a new container and dig a hole to the bottom with a spoon, putting it back in the tub on the top, put the lid back on and put it back in the fridge for 24 hours. the lactic acid water yuck will fill that well, pour it away and enjoy your much firmer dairy protein blob.
>>77111071I can kind of tell you told it you don't have a bench. Look for an adjustable one. In the meantime, push-ups are more useful than any kind of floor press. Otherwise, ok for a start.
>>77111220I heard the fatty yogurt is much less sour than the non-fat. I get the non-fat because I also use it as a sour cream replacement. I did that for breakfast today.>can of black beans>4 scrambled eggs>8oz non-fat greek yogurt>tons of whatever hot sauce/salsa you like for flavor~800 calories, 70g protein
>>77110943>your digestive system going haywirethat makes me feel a lot better, I've been having very strange digestive things happening in the last couple days. I make this stir fry and it's usually satisfying enough, but I don't feel bloated or anything. stopped nic, ate my stir fry, and felt super bloated last nightI'm used to the irritability, the fatigue, and the cravings, but this is new symptom. good to know these things can happen
>>77110891come on man im a nigger not a jeet
>>77110607Start lifting, build muscle and lose a bit more and things will even out.
>>77110607Get your t checkedthat insanely low body musculature unless you were actually just sitting in a chair your entire life
>>77110971>and now my father (that quit smoking when I was born and shows no signs of health issues whatsoever) has outlived his own father.Why do you say that as if it's abnormal for children to outlive their parents?
>>77110971And there are people who live to 100 smoking every dayIts all geneticsThe only sad thing in this story is that your grandpa got turned into a bitch by the medical systemIf I ever live that long I will just refuse medical care and go die in the woods
>>77111342I meant ages equalized. Dad is 73 now and in (relatively) perfect health, his father died at 72 after withering away for years.>>77111344You have to be 18 to post here, new friend.
>eat at 500-1000 calorie deficit for 2 weeks>running 4 miles and/or other cardio + lifting almost every day>gain 3 lbs :^)
>go from 30+ % bodyfat to 15% over the past year>put on some muscle, now have visible abs>wife now insists that I think shes fat and ugly>will not shut the fuck up about itthere's no winning is there?
Fatty contestSub100112kg
>>77111371kek just fuck her more idkmy only solution to any woman-brain problem has always been to sex her or tell her some lie she wants to hear
>>77111371You're making her feel self conscious, you have to drag her kicking and screaming into health with you. Make the weight loss a group activity. Get a group membership to a gym, swim together, hike together. Cook meals you haven't made before together. Be prepared though, some won't ever be able to accept a change and it could go very badly. Hopefully that's not the case but you should mentally prepare yourself for the worst.
>going to hit 15% bodyfat by octobergod thats so fucking far away, hope i will feel amazing at 20%
>>77111391Those are baby numbers. >The estimated body fat percentage for a 5-foot-10 male weighing 460 pounds is approximately 69.9%, based on standardized anthropometric formulas.I win
>>77111413Based bodyfatmaxxer
>>77111413Your fat weighs more than I do with my fat. I kneel
>>77111378yeah I guess that's the case. When I was fat and she was in better shape I never really felt self conscious but I get how she might feel that way now. Fortunately I don't have to drag her into weight loss or fitness, she seems to have picked it up on her own. I think she's going through now what I was going through about 2-3 months into losing weight when I realized just how fat and shitty I looked kek
>boxing class last night>slept 7hrs>only did squats and elliptical this morningI'm so fucking tired bros. Is this normal for noobs? I feel like I want to go to sleep and it's only 3PM. I had a smoothie for breakfast and I've been drinking liquids.
>>77111435Yep its not easy but it gets easier
>>77111435Yes lol boxing classes, weight lifting & cardio is very intense for a beginner. I’m assuming by ‘only did’ you mean you normally do more weights on top of squats.
>>77111476Yeah I usually do more lifting at the gym but I took a few weeks off so getting back in so decided I'll just squat and do cardio. But fuck I'm tired. I need to go to the laundromat but won't make it I fear.
>>77111480I’m assuming you’re on a calorie deficit, I would dial it back if I were you. I’d cut either boxing or cardio.Ease in slowly and once you’re fitter/slimmer you can pick up whatever you like
>>77111371You tell her:>what I'm hearing is that you think that about yourself>I don't really agree>but if you want to do something, I can help
>>77111498But I need to get lean and I'm fat as fuck. Cardio will make me lose the fat. But yeah I've been eating less and quit the booze and weed. Trying to unfuck my shit.
>>77111521Zone 2 cardio will make you burn way more fat and is more sustainable
whats an different addiction I can replace binge eating with? I literally have 100% zero self control around food. If there's food around, even shitty food that doesn't even taste good, I literally can't control myself and will eat it. And if I don't eat it I will think about it endlessly until I eventually cave and eat it. Thats why the only way I think I can stop binge eating is to eat the exact same bland meals everyday single day and never stray off that, but I need a different addiction to replace eating with since I have nothing else in my life.
>>77111543Take a GLP
>>77111543Time for ozempic m8
>>77111543For me it's roguelike games, infinite content you can just grind all day and not think about other things like food. But any hobby you can get into that isn't food adjacent works. If it's a physical activity that is even better. Hiking or biking is great. Even fatties can walk and bike.
>>77111543Find someone on Craigslist that is willing to lock you in a cage in their basement and hit you when you fuck up.
>>77111560>Even fatties can walk and bike.My dad said something similar to me recently lmao
>>77111526I have no idea what you're saying and if I did I wouldn't even care.
come the fuck ON clock im fucking ready to go to the gym im gonna fuck that rower UP
>>77111580I must be doing something wrong because I used a rower and even on max resistance it felt like achieving nothing
I fucked up my vagus nerv/endothoracic fascia doing deadlifts 2 weeks ago, and in the last 15 days I've lost nearly 30 lbs. since. Can't jerk off either, so my life is hell. But at least I look good.
>>77111548>>77111555I read those fuck you up and give you nightmare visions.>>77111560I like game and hobbies but feel they don't really replace the consumption aspect of eating. That may be my only option though so I appreciate the suggestions anon.>>77111561That sounds hellish, mostly the part where I have to talk to a stranger off Craigslist.
>>77111585>Can't jerk off either, so my life is hellSurely if you're injured, your gf will pick up the slack with extra blowjobs, right?
>>77111589>I read those fuck you up and give you nightmare visions.Do you want to stop eating or not anon? You don't get something for nothing, and the drugs will force you stop whether you like it or not
>>77111590>Surely if you're injured, your gf will pick up the slack with extra blowjobs, right?Nope, because sexual transmissions pass through the vegas nerve rather than the spine. So any type of sexual stimulation sends my heart rate and BP skyrocketing. I mean I can (just by fondling myself) jump my BP to 170+/110 and my HR into the 120s.
>>77111599>I mean I can (just by fondling myself) jump my BP to 170+/110 and my HR into the 120s.
>>77111592I want to stop but I'm already fucked up in other ways outside of eating too so don't want to get even worse in my brain as well. I just wish I had a good addiction that can replace eating, though seems like they're isn't really much of anything like that in this world.
>>77111579So you're stupid and ignorant, that's some good qualities to have for sure
>>77111602Eatings the one you can't cold turkey because you have to eat, short of going to some insane rehab that agrees to feed you exclusively via IV. You won't find an alternative because whatever you take up, ultimately you'll still need to eat. Have you tried eating mountains of vegetables? You'll be too full to fit anything else in, while still having the physical sensation of eating to help ease the urge to consume?
>>77111602Unironically do keto and then try fasting. It helps reset your ghrelin and serotonin reward pathways.
>>77111602why not try to foster an addiction to exercise? you'd be able to eat more too
>>77111605and fat. don't forget fat too. But do you really think doing "Zone 2" cardio is something that anyone is doing? Putting a heart rate monitor and making sure I'm working at X BPM. No, working out by boxing or lifting or running is fun and keeps it interesting instead of being a nerd about everything.
>>77111629No you dont need to have a monitor for that shit, the thing is your body burns more fat than carbs if you're doing more sustainable activities, like imagine walking at a fast paceYou could probably do that for way longer than boxing trainingZone2 is basically a pace that you can do for a while that's just a step above really basic shit like casual walkingLike you could have a normal conversation while doing zone 2 but it's still raising your heartrate enough to make you feel something
How do I stop being cold? Unironically
>>77111609>Have you tried eating mountains of vegetables?I feel that after eating veggies I always just feel hungry again like an hour later, but maybe I just need to eat more of them so that could work.>>77111616I might be too weak willed for that since when I feel horrible I go right back to eating. Fasting or keto just makes me feel so shitty I can't even function or have any self control.>>77111625I don't disagree that I need to excersise but I feel like excersise only makes me feel even worse. Like I get back from a walk/jog and then just fall asleep from exhaustion instantly. Something is wrong with me I know.
>>77111643>I feel that after eating veggies I always just feel hungry again like an hour later, but maybe I just need to eat more of them so that could work.Essentially you're just doing GLPs the long way round, eat so many that you physically can't eat anything else.
>>77111643>I can't even function or have any self control.Ok, so you need to read up on skinner and pavlov and start utilizing their behavioral modification systems on yourself. Simplest example is to get a thick rubber band, put it around your wrist and pull it back and thwack yourself with it when you start getting cravings. It takes time but the stuff absolutely works.
I'm so sick of protein shakes and protein oatmeals bros...
>>77111672I hope you don't think you need more protein than this guy
>hit the last notch on my belt yesterday >can wear the clothes I used to wear when I was 17 again Wagmi...
I posted last year about how I was eating stuff like this to lose weightI wanted to update /fat/ that it worked and I went down from 230 to 198. Lowest I've been in a long, long time.Think I'm going to go back to eating nothing but rice and chicken once a day and see how low I can go. I should go to the gym but I need nobody to be around for that.
>>77111680Isn't he like 5'4?
>>77111521Yeah I hear you but boxing classes are a lot of cardio, you don’t need to be doubling up on it at the moment.Besides diet is the main key to weight loss, exercise is only 10% of it
Eating carbs makes cardio a lot easier. I know I'm not supposed to, but doing it means I can actually finish my routine. I'm still eating a deficit, but am I fucking myself over by including bread and such?
>>77111728>I'm still eating a deficit, butthen you're fine, calorie capped IIFYM worksThe only time carbs need to be hard excluded is if you're doing a keto meme diet but that's not necessary to lose weight
>>77111365You always underestimate what you eat. Do Omad. If you don't feel permanently sluggish/tired, you do not have a 1k calorie deficit.
Airfried tofu and sweet potatoes Very simple and delicious
>>77111844Imagine the shits after eating this dried out shit
>>77111846They still soft inside
>>77111844How many calories in the sauce to your right?
>>7711055840 day fast complete.Starting my +2 days to reach 1000 hours. Right at 37 lb lost, 123.9 lbs on bathroom scale. Yes I'm short and under weight, no this was not primarily for health. Well worth it as it had 3 or 4 positive knock on effects.
>>77111685I want to shop for clothes so badly but I know I will lose more weight
>>77111855I dunno, it’s just tomatoes onions jalapeños garlic and some ketchup no more than 50
>>77111609This is kinda bullshit because the volume and physical bulk of food does not equate directly to satiety. There is a correlation but it isn't the entire answer.
>>77111844>no meatnot a meal
>>77111871the trick is combining large volumes of vegtables with a solid portion of protein, something like 200-300g of meat with 700g of veggies, that shit will keep you full all night
Going for a 72 hour fast.42.5 hours in at the moment.Using it as an excuse to eat a giant burger tomorrow, and a giant steak on Saturday.
>>77111883Nice. I hope it goes well 3 days sucks as it's a lot harder the first few days.
>>77111876>>77111871So it all comes down to chicken and broccoli after all.
>>77111886I was thinking of going for longer, I've done 5 days before but Gemini seems to suggest there's diminishing returns after the 3 days and increased chance of muscle loss, so I figured I'd just go the three. The first couple of days haven't been so bad since I've been drinking snake juice this time, it's really helped with the cravings.
Life truly starts at sub 12% bodyfat, no amount of pleasur food can bring compares the ecstasy you feel when you're mid jestergooning in front of the ltb/mtb huzz and some fatcel stands within 5 meters of you causing you to face mog im into oblivion giving him a career ending cortisol spike
>>77111890you can have some variety, chicken and broccoli or pork and cauliflower or tuna and mushrooms and beets or whatever, mix and match your protein and veggies; but basically yes
>>77111907are you having a stroke
>>77111907God I wish I looked like that... How does she do the eye thing? Can I pay someone to teach me?
>>77111912Its called having well defined zygomatic bones, lacrimal bones, and slightly looking up to stimulate upper eyelid exposure giving the "bedroom eyes" look
>>77111911Keep up with the new slang unc
>>77110899Hey decaf still works for bowel movements, maybe just replace some carbs with whole fruit for the fiber and sugar
>>77111371You've triggered her insecurity, she knows you're too attractive for her and out of her league, she fears adultery and she fears you leaving. She's got to get fit and like herself, but there's a high chance She'll just stew irage and bitterness. I hope for your sake your not watching porn or anything like that, because if she catches you looking at any other women for a sheer second She'll ho bananas insisted THATS who you got fit for
>>77111857Well, are the bears lining up to stretch your twink hole yet?
>>77111917I'm not sure what bones those are but I DO have large round blue eyes, so maybe with the right tools and brushes I could do that long flutter Megan fox thing. I think she gas false eyelashes on? I tried like twice but they don't look right, they end up looking creepy on me
>>77111920instead of retardgooning and strokemaxxing have you tried killing yourself
>>77111937>You've triggered her insecurity, she knows you're too attractive for her and out of her league, she fears adultery and she fears you leaving.This man knows women. The real thing to do is exploit this insecurity to get her to do more of what you want since his looks give him a lot more leverage i the relationship.
>>77111892I started my 40 as a 3 day, then I would double the time each time I hit a goal if I felt good. Once you get into it you will lose apatite and its really just dealing with boredom and showing some discipline the few hours you are hungry.
>>77111972I'm not sure about that, its what OP wants in his marriage. If he really loves her he needs to validate that he loves and wants her, that while he does want to see her fitter and hotter its partially because shell be more confident which he finds sexy, and that he's seen her fit before and misses it. He should work out with her, compliment every new change, and make frequent attempts at sex WITH her love languages.>give words if affirmation and try to fuck>do an act of service and try to fuck>spend quality time then try to fuck>give her gifts then try to fuck>give her affectionate touch and try to fuckBut if she tolerates it give touch often, women are by nature very touchy feely with partners
>>77111990Yeah but remember. No matter what you have to operate within the bounds of her hypergamy. So to keep his relationship together he has to stay head and shoulders above her.
>>77111986>I started my 40 as a 3 day, then I would double the time each time I hit a goal if I felt good.That's what I do. I set a goal and if I'm feeling good I'll just keep going.

>>77112004Push too hard on that and she will withdraw, too much insecurity and she'll throw her hands up and say "I don't know who she is but you can have her! I'm not playing a losing game! I'll never be hot or sexy for you!"
I am getting so fucking tired of how cold my fingers and toes are now.I'm still fat as shit but jesus christ this is unbearable.
Start weighing myself before and after meal recently and apparently I eat nearly 2 kgs of food and drinks daily. I am doing OMAD but is it still too big of a meal?

Job hunting anon againI got a call back bros we're going to a second round interview
>>77112128100g of chocolate coated raspberries (fresh raspberries ~50kc + 2tsp pure cocoa powder, <10kc) and 55g of hot krupnik (155kc) to celebratethis is so fucking tasty
Is a post workout snack really necessary? I go to the gym so late at night that I'm beginning to wonder if my post gym protein shake gets factored into my morning weigh ins. Might start just chugging them before the gym and skipping post workout unless that little bit of protein after a workout is absolutely necessary for growth/recovery.
>>77112128nice m8. I finished up round 3 for a job the other day. hoping they hit me back for round 4best of luck on your interviews. being unemployed sucks nuts
>>77112170Protein timing doesn't matter as much as overall intake. What does matter, is how your sleep is affected by exercising too late in the day. Do you track your sleep with a smartwatch, and are you getting enough deep sleep?>>77112045My lunch alone has over 500g of veggies. You're fine.
In the last thread anons were enlightening me on how alcohol actually tastes bad, because Id never had it, apparently rum and wine dont really taste like full on fruity drinks. And beer is like "drinking bread" which sounds fucked to me. Along with vodka being spicy water.The tastiest alcohol according to my assumptions was cider based on anons descriptionsSo what im getting from all that is that no one drinks alcohol primarily for the taste, they do it because it gets them drunk. People go out with friends and a massive 800ml jug of "bread" they chug down casually? fuck
>>77112214Well its fun, you're missing out on an experience in your lifetime if you'll never drink with friends
>>77112214Actually Ive got another one that im assuming tastes really goodMead, isnt it made out of honey, no way you can fuck up with honey, mead has to taste good enough to drink solely because it tastes great
>>77112214I drink purely for the taste, and have never been drunk. If you want to know what it tastes like without actually drinking any alcohol, try an alcohol-free beer. They taste just like the real thing nowadays.
>>77112217if you need to drink to have fun with people then youve got issues
>>77112217I go out with friends but theyre the only ones drinking, the smell was what got me thinking about it and I feel less retarded asking you guys instead of them, last time I asked, one of them tried shoving her glass down my throat, biggest case of peer pressure ive ever experienced
>>77112225I dont need to drink but I have the free will and choice to do so if I choseI almost never drink anymore but I remember it and it was fun, better than never having experienced it lol
>>77112227Having a sip of alcohol isn't going to turn you into an alcoholic or hurt your izzat.
>>77112214I genuinely enjoy sweet hard liqours. The "spicy" ethanol flavor works well with thick, sweet honey-like tastes.
>>77112219Mead can be sweet or dry like wine can be sweet or dry. The more honey is fermented into alcohol, the dryer it will be. You can also add more honey back in after you end the fermentation but that's cheating.source: I made mead one time
>>77112235nta but Ive never tried it either, dad, uncle and grandparent were diagnosed chronic drunks, i aint risking that shit
>>77112245I understand, anon.My family has a history of addiction so I've sworn to never touch any recreational drugs no matter how curious I might get.
I swear alcohol isn't what it used to be, used to make me carefree, excited, fun and adventurous. Now I have a few beers and just feel hazy and want to fall asleep. Good because it just makes you fat, but seriously they added some shit to it.
>>77112214Anons did mention it's an acquired taste. I enjoy a nice glass of bourbon, but I've drank enough to understand the notes of flavor in the drink. Sometimes it tastes more like oak or pine, sometimes it's sweeter or more boozy, sometimes theres hints of vanilla or honey, etc.It's like a nice treat to savor. and honestly its kind of hard to explain the pleasantries of alcohol to someone who has never drank. But a burger and a beer, or a glass of whisky and a cigar, or maybe a crafty IPA after a long day of skiing are excellent pairings where the alcohol compliments the thing. You gotta experience it to get it though
>>77112255That's just getting old anon
>>77112255liver's failing buddy
I ate my entire day's worth of calories in 20 minutes... and it's still morning.
>>77111609This is bullshit, veggies break down into nothing. Stick a whole bag of spinach in a pan and show me what it looks like 5 minutes later. A salad is far less filling than a rotisserie chicken.
>>77112314Budget?What did you eat?
>>771123181600kcaltwo large teriyaki chicken wraps
>>77112323Well, at least they were good food.Did you make them yourself?
>>77112325my mom brought me them from the hospital she works at, so its probably healthyI'm just going to drink coffee for the rest of the day and hope I don't get hungry
Youtube showing me a bunch of food shorts again
March is going to be crazy lads. I've lost so much since December, 5 day fasting had crazy results when autopathy kicked in. I feel like I'm a teenager again and food tastes like heaven when I go 24 hours every week. Still a chubster but March I feel will be a good month.
>>77112214I very rarely drink alcohol but when I do, I like the taste... Though I go for the girliest stuff... Kriek (cherry based beer), Baileys (irish whiskey coffee), toxic masculinity teaches us to drink the most disgusting piss to get hammered but some drinks out there are fine.
>>77112335>toxic masculinity
>>77112331All I get on twitch are gambling and food ads when alternate TTV player doesn't kick in fast enoughpatronizing more than anything else desu
>160lbs is categorized as obese at my height I hate being a manlet
>>77112369At what height is 160lbs not considered obese?

>>77112371Bro...
>>7711237180% of men
>>77112468>80% of menIf you're not 6'4 like me are you really a man?
>>77112487No. I’m not. You are superior to me in every way imaginable.
I have noticed this board is more encouraging when you have goals far off or arnt being successful. But when you actually hit 10% body fat it gets insulting. It's a hell of a thing to see how petty people get when you outdo them.
>>77112500Yeah it's because of the influx of jeets and the like. Generally speaking a white bro isn't gonna shit on you for accomplishing your goals or working hard.
>>77112500What >>77112505 said, in spite of it's reputation 4chan was a pretty nice place when it was mostly western white men using it. After the multiple waves of 3rd worlders and women invaded it's gotten progressively worse and is unrecognizable now from what it used to be. The whole internet was a paradise, it needs to be balkanized again. There is no reason people from india and china and south america should be able to interact with the west.
>>77112512Yeah it's not the same anymore, this place is all a bunch of indian kids now.
>>77112512China actually has a gigantic firewall, which I thought was stupid until I experienced the past 15 years of internet decline. Wish other countries would follow their lead, or at least make their own places to chat. Racism aside, the language/culture barrier makes discourse impossible as certain cues will completely go over their head.
>>77111846Imagine being so delicate you can't handle tofu and potatoes
>>77111917It's called being attractive. No need for the salad of buzzwords you just dropped.
>>77112033Are you doing any form of exercise
>>77112337>society treats us like shit so we gotta do the work ourselves Yeah that's why we're here after all
>>77112500Crab website, no board is spared.
>>77112170No, nobody said a snack after working out was necessary. Nobody has ever said that.
>>77112561Eating an apple or a banana to refill your glycogen after exhausting yourself is important althoughbeit
>>77112565I didn't say otherwise.
>>77112565No it's not important because both bananas and apples are mostly fructose which needs to be first-pass metabolized by your liver and then after your liver glycogen is refilled, excess (none in your example) gets directed to the muscles. There's a reason no bodybuilder specifically eats fruit after a workout and they use starches and simple sugars which do not contain fructose.
>>77112556>so we gotta do the work ourselves that's a given. no one can lose weight for you
>missed my morning to afternoon cardio window due to work and shit>approaching midnight, but I still have 1 hour zone 2 cardio to finish todayfuark, i mess up the timing and now my willpower wanes as the clock ticks, this is why i prefer getting all my daily exercises done before 12 pm
>>77112582Sleep is more important than cardio my macaque..
>>77112587yeah youre right, ive been running on 4 hour naps for a few days now, fuck it, catching that fabled 8 hour tonight
>>77112571Actually the fructose content of bananas changes significantly depending on whether they're ripe or a bit green. This only really matters for people with IBS, some of whom can't digest excess fructose very well.But you really aren't going to deplete your glycogen stores significantly enough from lifting to actually need carbs during or afterwards. It makes sense to have a small carb snack before lifting if you're doing it first thing in the morning, but otherwise it's unnecessary.Anyway, for optimal performance during hard cardio you actually want glucose and fructose at a 2:1 ratio, because they absorb differently (like you said) and let you get more carbs in (up to 90g/hr). Not that anybody here should actually be trying to maximise their carb intake, kek.
>>77112582I'm the same, at night I'm always wishing I was exercising, but I can't because it's too close to bed. But then when I wake up and actually have to exercise, it's a struggle.
>>77112565Kind of like when my buddy asked me why planet fitness offers the single wrapped candies at the front desk. I told him it's not a bad way to spike your blood sugar for a workout, one won't hurt you and if it's motivation all the better. I get one as I go in, might be bro science but I don't see it as different than spoons of honey like some people do.
>>77112556And then society treats you good because you look like you build societies.
Exercise is great for losing weight obviously but too many people in these threads recently are really taking it too far and hurting themselves in the long runTake it easy if you’re overweight, exercise is not nearly as important as diet for weight loss anyway, you can spend a day not leaving your bed and still lose weight if you’re at a deficitIf you’re getting close to your goal and want to start training to become an athlete that’s great, but for the moment don’t stress if you miss one of your ten sprinting sessions a day
>>77112647the only way working out could harm someone is if they’re overdoing it anorexia/eating disorder style, an issue no one in these threads have,
>>77112214Yeah I'm so glad I don't drink alcohol lmao
>>77112500Something similar happens irl too man, the moment I got to a healthy weight everybody told me to stop, like I wasn't even close to being thin, just a healthy weight, I used to be 300lbs and got to like 180lbs (I'm 6'4) and people were acting like I was dying dude. I gained some weight now I'm almost 200lbs but I'm trying to get down to 170-180lbs again, I'm not gonna listen to people anymore it's so discouraging hearing that
>>77112696The crab mentality is crazy once you start being significantly fitter then the people around you.I say fuck them. If they weren't (and aren't) on your side trying to help you, then they can stay fat. Health is a lifelong journey, and if they think it ever stops then they'll never make it.
>>77112214Cider and chocolate beer (from brewdog) tastes good, other alcohol tastes bad yes
>>77112696>>77112698I knew people in college who used to bring by bags of fast food to my room casually, when id politely decline theyd leave but then id find the bag sitting on my table whenever I left my door unlockedat some point I had reached a milestone, and one of those weird cunts mentioned how I looked skinnier, fast forward a few days, he texts me to check my front door, he fucking ubered a hot steamy dish with a slab of cheesy garlic bread to my room, no reason no prior mention at all. I gave the whole thing away to another student fucking perplexes me to this day
