How do I fast if I get headaches and feel nauseous if I go too long without eating?
>>77114774go take a napu can’t eat if ur asleep
>>7711476742 day fast almost done. Will eat tomorrow night 1024 hour fast I'll eat some light soup.Making moonshine mash tonight literally 21 lb of sugar and another unholy amount of sweet fruit and shit. Lol never stopped messing with food the whole time. It's been great I hope you can all do an extended fast some day. Thank you for listening and your support. 40 lb down ruffly off porn and booze kicking aspartame too but that will be a hard one to avoid in general.
>>77114781Scale for reference.
>>77114776But I’m not a NEET
>>77114781>>77114784this proves nothing, how do we know you werent 120 lbs before this makebelieve fast?
>>77114784Your toes look like they have gangrene.
>>77114790I don't care if you believe me, your weakness is evident in your inability to grasp others have minimum discipline. Stay weak jeet.
>>77114784>121lbWhat are you, a fucking hobbit
In autophohgy and slept Like bliss for the last two days. I end this fast Saturday with protien and veggies. Gonna do both steak and salmon. 5 days will be a record.I love losing weight. By December I'll look halfway normal ( maybe )
>>77114816Yes. By the navy body fat thing I am like 8% body fat. Given I look like I came out of a POW camp at the moment. I'll have some great definition when I start lifting again.
I'm so jealous of people who can fast. I tried to do a 2 week fast once. Got to 12 days and almost died. Heart palpitations and trouble thinking, got a kidney stone a week later that made me want to kill myself.
>>77114823Yeah if it can't be healthy don't do it. No judgment if it's for health reasons.
>>77114823>claims to not be able to fast>"Got to 12 days"fuck OFF
>>77114839I think you are confused, you should try reading the entire post next time.

>>77114845How did that other guy do 42 days then without any issues at all?
>>77114846They take supplements and do medical supervision anon.
>>77114846You just do it anon. It's not complicated. Your body can live off fat.>>77114849Just a discount multivitamin for the last 20 days. Probably not as many supplements as you are thinking.
>>77114788Drink more water, get some electrolytes.
>>77114849No, they don't. It's called having willpower.
>>77114846he was lying. some kind of LARP to trick me into engaging him in conversation. there's ordinary shills and then there's creepy spooks who watch you on hacked security cameras (made in china) and try to influence your behavior. don't fast for more than three days.

>end 3-day fast with giant burger>heart palpitations
One day im going to dedicate 12 hours to eating big buttery croissants, fucking delicious warm croissants down my gullet, empty calorie after empty calorie, washing it down with a glass of hot milk.Not now, not anytime this year, but one day
>>77114936Very nice.
>>77114935>abuse self>suffer abuse
>>77114947I think a burger is ok. It was likely just some heartburn.
>>77114970>giant
>>77114971Still ok. If it was good and fed the body. Anon said in another thread he would do it. The question is was diet good otherwise and is it something that in the long term making you fat. You have to be able to enjoy things. I want a giant burger but it might kill me at the moment.
>>77114976Reread the post chain and tell me what you think the point of the original reply was
>>77114981Ain't reading all that and am staying overwhelmingly positive.

>>77115018This picture is so fucking true, now that I'm fit I can wear the absolute cheapest clothes and I look great in them. The only problem is that once you're built for wearing athleisure 24/7, business clothes start to look weird on you.
>>77115024Schizo
>>77115065not at all
>>77115057Business looks shit on everyone until you get it tailored
>>77114436You’re still losing fat though, the only difference is it’s making you hold on to extra water and maybe muscle mass if you’re performing better in the gym.Whether you were on it or not you’d still be losing the exact same amount of fat

Any former fatty here who is able to do pull ups now? How long did it take you?I'm 5ft8 172lbs, been working out for 4 months now (lost 28 lbs since start), and while my strength in rows is steadily increasing, pull up is still way, way out of my reach. I'm training with 22lbs dumbbells now (10kg); started with 11lbs ones (5kg) for reference.
>>77115057Never forget Brad Pitt wearing green camo pants and what looks like a red and white maple leaf printed shirt in Fight Club.
>>77115502I'm lighter now, but at 225lbs I was able to hit a single pull up when I hit cable pulldowns of about 140lbs. Roughly 100lb DB row for 3 or 4 reps, but it's hard to suss that out properly because that's the absolute max my handles will take without resorting to 25lb plates.So say DB row 45% bodyweight? Puts you around DB rows of 75lbs. Very spitball, mind you.
>>77115502I still can't do full pull ups because they're hard
>>77115510And don't let that demoralize you. Soon as you stop cutting your rows will skyrocket.
>>77115502Pull ups are rough. Training your upper body is definitely helpful but if you don't acclimate yourself to the movement itself it will take you longer.If you've got access to a pull up bar start doing stuff like dead hangs, or negative pull ups where you stand on something and leap up onto the bar then control yourself down, really focusing on that tight grip trying to "bend" the bar and activating your lats.And of course there are assisted pull ups where you get bands to help alleviate the weight you're pulling up (assuming you don't have access to an assisted pull up machine)

>>77114784Whyd you use 2 different people's feet for this photo?

>>77115610How do I get good sleep though
>>77115612Beats me, I've been having god awful sleep lately so I'm glad I managed to sleep well last nightOnly difference is I took 7.5mg of melatonin instead of 5mg so maybe that was the ticket
>>77115528What the fuck are you talking about memerI lose weight every week and the scale shows ityou baited me, fuck you
>>77115612Eat well, no alcohol, stop eating at least 2 hours before bed, no phone etc in room. Only use bedroom for sleep and sex, no watching tv or eating in there.

>>77115612quit caffeine, booze and nicotinestay hydratedexercise regularly
>>77115684Movements are not inherently strength or muscle based but rather a mastery of the movement itself.It's why you can see a fat out of shape construction worker carry several bags of concrete like it's nothing while a body builder might struggle. Because he's been moving those bags of concrete the same way for years, his body is used to it. You have to keep your body conditioned to the movement in order to do it well. That's why they call it muscle memory.
>>77115684Did you not keep working out while you cut? I started at 230lbs with a 255x5 bench now I'm 180lbs with a 230x5 bench. I lost some strength but nothing that dramatic.
>>77115350Shepherd's pie
>>77115684Sounds like a larp greentextI started working out this yearAm 35 have never ever done any exercise or sports in my life, always sedentary jobBut at least I was able to curl 30lb dumbells on the first attempt for a full setNo way a man struggles to uses 20s
>>77115482Sure is a good thing I didn't even remotely allude to anything like that stupid strawman you just made up of my position.
>>77115522How many times are you going to post this?
>>77115721>I enjoy licorice. That means you are lying if you say you don't.
>>77115704I see. Guess I’ll show up again tomorrow and continue working on it>>77115713Going to the gym wasn’t an option, so I transitioned to mostly calisthenics and steady cardio. >>77115721No one is more surprised than me. The first time I went to the gym years ago when I was fat I could easily handle much more. Might have to see a doctor about this, maybe something else is up
>>77115734>Going to the gym wasn’t an option, so I transitionedgeez, a tad drastic don't you think?
>>77115734Damn that is crazy, I guess it could be different if you start out as untrained fatass versus as someone who lost alot of fat but also some muscle from dieting
>>77115747what use is my cock if i can’t lift metal :p
I'm a friendless boring loser that uses booze and food to cope with boredom, how do I fix this?
>>77115757Replace booze and food with exercise. It's that simple.
God I want a large supreme pizza so fucking bad I would down that bitch in 10 minutes flat
>>77115764Have one and just dont eat the next day. Or walk for 6 hours after hahahaThere is plenty of ways to enjoy the good things in life while keep your calories under maintenance
>>77115757Get an active hobby, make friends who also enjoy this hobby.
>>77115763I already enjoy going to the gym but there's a lot of time in between working out.
>>77115769spend the rest time on betting on horse races
>>77115766Maybe I'll wait until I hit another weight loss milestone and have it as a reward day, but with it as my only meal and 6 hours of walking on my treadmill like you suggested
>>77115769Add stretching or walking will keep you occupied and is a net positive.
>>77115775That's boring food and beer isn't boring
>>77115780>food and beer isn't boringyes it is, I bet you are not even cooking nice elaborate meals and savouring new, high quality beers
>>77115757You can't fix it, everything you try will fail and you'll go back to boozing and binging

>>77116223Metric this *Eats you*
If carbs are what make you fat, why are fats called fats instead?
>>77116235Calories are what make you fat. Carbs, protein and fat are macros. They have different calorie densities but the same calories of bread are the same calories of bacon are the same calories of oil.
>>77116223Only Europoors and various browns use kilograms. Chinks and Nips don't come on /fit/ because they're already genetically skinny. Only Indians, Brazilians, Romanians, and the Fr*nch use kg foe weight here.

>>77116330Calisthenics is boomer speak for pilates and lifting
>>77116339In Australia, calisthenics is a kind of choreographed group dancing which little girls do. They all wear homemade outfits from their mums, it's super cute.

>>77116137Ive been shitting better since switch my tortila to a pita. I have a steak and salad pita pocket thing every nighy. Guess more fiber or just digests better for me.
>>77115024My grandpa used to always tell me how everything you see and touch come from the ground.. blew my mind as a kid
>>77116346Isnt that thai chi?
>>77116235Carbs and Proteins make you the least fat, because they both get temporary stored in states that aren't fatProtein gets first stored as amino acids in the bloodstream and tissue (100-200g) Carbs get stored as glucose in liver and muscles (400-600g)And unless you max out those stores your body will not even turn either of them into fatsSo its quite easy to not gain fat if you mostly eat protein and carbs and expend them on the dailyOnly fat gets stored as fat
Cold cuts are the secret. Mostly protein but still delicious
>>77116380>the fat you eat is the fat you wearI upped my fat because I read here low fat crashed your test and also I was struggling to poop on my last diet, which worked well but was mainly shakes, apples and lean meat, sweet potato and veg so i slowly added in fatty meats, peanut butter and whole milk and felt better but weightloss has stalled the fuck out. If i track, how many grams of fat should i aim for daily as a good compromise?
my weight has been refusing to move for 6 weeks now but this is it!i'm going to start starving myself starting tomorrow!i'm going to roll 48 hours fasts. wish me luck, /fat/bros!
>>77116375No, tai chi is for Chinese grandmas.
>>77116400>my weight has been refusing to move for 6 weeksThat happens when you don't diet
>>77116393I used to have the same mindset, with my fat intake being as low as 22%. Nowadays I've upped it to about 35% and I feel way better.
>>77116403i've averaged 1630 kcals per day.
>>77116393Most diets drop testosterone, the lower your calories the more it will drop in the average personI'd just see what works, I eat about 30-40g per day and its not like I'm saying you should reduce all fatIt's just that fat is the most fattening macro
>>77116413No you haven't.
being real good about eating well, gym, lots of steps during the week. then the weekend comes and i start blasting though my fridge
honest question, why does KETO make [FAT]lards seethe so much?
>>77116454Keto is just Atkins for men
>>77116463thought it was the same exact thing?
>>77116454It does?
Keto? more like Gay
>>77116202Don't worry. It's refeed day tomorrow. I expect 92 by evening.>>77116312Definetly first time. I'll probably switch to 4 meals from now on because I find it easier to haul ass like a mofo rather than eat less in order to hit that oxidation threshold.
I am going for a travel where I will drop my calorie consumption below 1000 kcal.I already prepared for one week of -1000kcal and it's pretty easy.
>>77115349I also exercise first thing in the morning. I personally have a small carb snack (usually a banana and a cup of coffee) before running, and then my bigger 626cal breakfast with more fat and protein afterwards. It works pretty well for me. I don't know anything about fat oxidation though, so YMMV.
I've been lifting weights for a long time so I'm decently muscled/strong, but I've always been kinda fat, probably around 25%. Recently started cutting, and everything is going well. I would say that I'm sub 20% now, but I experience I look way worse than ever. Everything is doughy. I am starting to notice a lot more separation and definition, but my core and back look especially bad. Anyone else experienced this? Do I have shitty genetics or will it get better when I get down to sub 15%?
>>77116583Idk post body cause I don’t see what you’re tryna say
>>77116583I severely doubt that you look "doughy" at sub-20% BF. You're probably around 30%.
>>77116463>AtlkinsI remember doing southbeach diet at my first attempt at fatloss. Mum gave me her copy of the book to read
>>77116548Fat Oxidation threshold is the maximum calorie deficit a body can handle by mobilizing fat storage to fuel mitochondria before it starts going after your lean tissue and glycogen. The magic formula is:> 69 x total fat mass in kg. In my case it seems to be 18.2kg of fat, so:> 69 x 18.2 = 1257 kcalI spent last 10 days going way over that limit. I may have been flushing weight but I was also raising my cortisol (stress), reducing my testosterone, lowering my metabolism, killing my libido, destroying my sleep etc.
>>77116645Oh yeah that sounds fucked, I wouldn't personally do anything that affects my sleep. But if it works for you, I'm happy for you.
>>77116645NTA. So you're saying if I've got 32kg of body fat, I could be aiming for what, 2200 kcal deficit and still not lose lean mass?
Man why the fuck I always got diarrhea on leg day, now I gotta worry about shitting myself on the glute bridge machine

If my weight loss is kinda slow (0.3-5) a week, is that more confirmation that the weight loss is ONLY fat? Im going gym 3 days a week fullbody, and my weights havent been lowering, theyve kinda stalled a bit however. Does that mean im not losing muscle and its just fat?Or is significant muscle loss ultimately inevitable
I might die tonight. Will let you know tomorrow if I don't make it.Details later.

I miss her. In her, I really saw a way out of this constant loneliness, thought I'd found the partner I kept looking and praying for, and now I gotta get through at least the next 4 months before I've lost enough weight to actually look attractive to the opposite sex and maybe find someone who can replace her. Or potentially get her back.The 4 months is looking like a lifetime from this point.It was a whirlwind, went from meeting, to dating to break up in 6 days. And I've been pining over it for a month now.

>>77116922Make sure you have full electrolytes including magnesium
>>77116660Aye. Learned the hard way. That's why I'm going high carb to justify the mad cardio. >>77116661If you eat enough protein? Yes, the lean mass loss will be minimal. You still need to eat enough carbs to produce neccesary glucose for blood cells, brain, cortisol management etc. You also need dietary fats to get enough EFA because body can not turn stored saturated fats into Omega 3 and 6. When I look at my spreadsheet now I understand why my fat loss was so rapid when I was 120+ but then it started to slow down as I approached 100.>>77116908I will. WAGMI.

>>77117411vitamins won’t make you ‘feel’ different unless you have a specific deficiency. vitamins can also take months before the body starts utilising them or they start making some kind of bodily improvement, but you won’t notice a change over such a long period of time. you can just take a multi + Vitamin D + fish oil and won’t really need anything more

>>77118409If it ever feels easy you aren't working hard enough. Keep pushing yourself beyond what you think you can achieve

>>77118960Good news, you can out it in remission without drugs. I've seen that shit personally it can be done, but it does still require monitoring and listening to your body. Cardio and low carb, a lot of water. I say low carb and I don't mean keto, just keeping your csrbs and sugars limited and avoiding sugar bombs. If you're holding up that lifestyle you should also be losing weight, you're lowering your intake and getting 30min-60min of cardio a day. Ideally just a light jog or cycle in the morning and evening. Nothing too high intensity is needed especially if you're FAT fat.
